Wonder how the survey was sent out and whether that affected sampling.
Regardless, with -3-4k responses, that’s disappointing, if not concerning.
I only have a more personal sense for Lemmy. Do you have a source for Lemmy gender diversity?
Anyway, what do you think are the underlying issues? And what would be some suggestions to the community to address them?
Just a quick check, is this location based or something, or maybe the meme was very old? Not to say that these things don’t happen anymore, but I can access this one specifically just fine.
I’ve never had an account with these. Do I need to create an account with them to freeze my credits? And what kinds of information should I give / not give when I do?
I use gitlab ci mainly and dabble in github actions. Can you clarify how “Not even Github managed to pull that off”? IIRC, actions is quite featureful and it’s open-source, so I assume that can be run with self-hosted runners as well.
thanks for clarifying! that’s really helpful!
“NOPE” as in “not a dark pattern” or as in “I’m not touching this site”? if former, can you clarify on the reason?
thanks for confirming my suspicion. as for your question, conda in general is good for installing non-python binaries when needed, and managing env. I don’t use anaconda but it provides a good enough interface for beginners and folks without much coding experience. It’s usually the easiest to use that than other variants for them, or the python route of setting up environments
It’s been a while since I last downloaded anaconda. But I remember when clicking on the download page, it would show the usual “choose your OS > download binary” (eg this archived version in 2019).
Recently I helped someone else set it up and it showed a form to put on email, with smaller gray text near the bottom of the form about skipping it.
Does this count as a dark pattern?
Never tried it, but I would assume if you do a Google takeout of your Google Photos, the metadata would still be kept, and then you can upload that to Proton. Have you tried that yet?
If you’ve never worked before, this can be considered practice runs for the when you do.
Like one of the other commentors said, assume everything is accessible by Google and/or your university (and later, your boss, company, organization, …).
And not just you, but the people who interact with you through it. So that means you may be able to put up defenses, but if they don’t (and they most likely do not), the data that you interact with them would likely be accessible as well.
So here are some potential suggestions to minimize private-data access by Google/university while still being able to work with others (adjust things depending on your threat model of course):
- use Google Workspace services only for collaboration and for official business communication
- don’t link things that may be personal, such as Google Map, Youtube, Search history, Browser, …
- if more sensitive things need to be shared with other people, use more private/encrypted solutions that you like or the university suggests. You should use the latter if it’s still “business”-related, e.g. communicate about medical research data with PII
- if there are communications that need sensitive information (eg HR documents, tax documents), ask them (a) if you can bring the sensitive documents to them, (b) or if the university has an encrypted solution, or (c) if you can use your own encrypted solution (eg put files on protondrive and you give them the appropriate folder password in person)
- go through all Google privacy and security settings every 6 months or so, and turn off what you don’t need (there are usually a bunch of guides for that). Note: every 6 months because there may be new stuff that they add
- turn off all the AI integrated features (sometimes called smart features) in Google services like Mail, GDoc, …
- avoid using GDrive for storage of personal files - if you need to, try to encrypt them before uploading
- you may find there are other people like you; and if you work with them, try to ask whether they are comfortable with alternatives or if they have anything suggestions. However, this is usually rare in most fields, so keep your expectations low for this
- use the multi-account containers in Firefox to containerize all stuff related to university account in one container. Don’t use Google Chrome; if you must you Chromium, there are other “forks?” that you can try
- use UBlock Origin and block unnecessary Google services (you’ll have to play around with this a lot)
- avoid clicking on links in emails if possible, but instead copy them by selecting them (or the right click, copy). This is an unfounded suspicion, Google may track what links you click on
You can also just post the 4-5 data items without claiming that this is low or high credibility or bias. Then let the people make the decision. Like this maybe:
“Based on source X, this source media bias is:
- bias: A
- cred: B
Methodology of X is at: “
I find it quite common (and confusing) for certain news types like policy, eg “party A reverses the disapproval to oppose the once-unacceptable ban”
care to elaborate on the possibilities of “really big” that you’re imagining?
I mean, this article is from 2022, which claims to use seaborn but not really. It really shows their effort, even before the whole AI hype …

cuts parts
that’s actually what the underlying method does, as this is extractive summary, hence it mostly cuts and stitches things.
From my naive understanding, this type of method does not use or “understand” context.
The alternative is abstractive summary, which is where LLMs (or even small/medium language models) are good for. But I suspect that would be a controversial choice on lemmy.
I’m also curious. A quick search came up with these. Not sure which one is most reliable/updated
Sorry for the title, didn’t know how to succinctly describe it. Here goes.
I have my gmail set up in my iOS device using the default app. Whenever a new email comes in, the number of new emails in the inbox would appear very briefly appear as 2, instead of 1.
After maybe a second or less, that number goes to 1, which is the correct number. It’s usually very quick so I don’t have a recording.
Has anyone encountered this? Anyone knows why it happens?
Thanks!
I’m looking for a duplicate/similarity checker against a custom set of documents. This is possibly like a plagiarism checker, but with a custom reference (instead of everything that exists).
But I could not find a solution that can be selfhosted, and have some simple UI and capabilities like Turnitin. Any suggestions?
Thanks’
anyone also encounters this?
I’m looking for potential Lemmy/Kbin communities where people can ask for suggestions for data sources. There’s “datahoarders” but that’s more technical how-to’s of the act of hoarding (I think).
I’m searching for more of a “data-request” or “ask-data” type of community, though the latter might be more appropriate for asking more meta questions about data.
Is there such a community out there?
Thanks
Ps: If this is not an appropriate place to ask for community finding, please let me know.
I’m looking for a data archive of corporation ownership networks. For example, Alphabet owns Google, … and some metadata like when they are created/owned by Alphabet if possible. I was made aware of OpenCorporates but it doesn’t seem to have such data as far as I tried.
Apologies in advance if this is not an appropriate content for the community. I figured digital archivists may be aware of the existence of such archive. I couldn’t find a specific lemmy community solely for asking about data suggestions. If there’s a community better suited for this post, please let me know.
Thanks!
I’m trying to look for a self-hosted alternative for Airtable (or at least FOSS option) that has some basic mobile app option for viewing + editing.
I was looking at Baserow and Nocodb but I couldn’t find any iOS/android options for either of them.
Any suggestions?
I’m not very familiar with how Wikipedia vets the sources in the references/external links. I was wondering whether there are manual or automated checks for cyclic sources, for example a Wikipedia page cites a source for something, but such source after a few rounds of citing would go back to the same Wikipedia page.
- Does that happen with Wikipedia?
- Does it matter? I presume that would invalidate the source?
- How do they make sure it does not happen? Is there an automated check or something?
First of, I’m not entirely sure they are the same to be honest, sometimes I see discuss.site-a.com while others it’s discourse.site-b.com?
Anyway, are these federated in some ways?
I don’t and never intend to use iCloud. But once in a while, I have to go to the “Apps using iCloud” settings to inspect, because sometimes a random app would be turned on.
(1) What does it mean to have an app turned on? I tried to log in to my iCloud account and could never figure out where those apps might be stored. (2) Is there a way to turn it off completely?
As in, no events, no holidays whatsoever in any place in the world. Or maybe the least eventful day of a year.
Maybe statistically, Feb 29 would be the one. But other than that, what else?
I’m not sure whether this is the right channel to ask. Please let me know where to direct my question if you think of one more appropriate.
I tried to create an account on DigitalOcean, but I got “Unable to authorize access” after I tried with my credit card. I opened a ticket and tried to see how to get my account activated.
After answering some questions about my Github account and what I would use the service for (basically just web hosting and personal projects, my Github account is filled with research projects), they just flat out rejected within the next email.
So I asked them to delete my account and data, because I prefer not to keep whatever they have on me if I’m not going to be able to utilize the service (e.g. some info for registration, email, my Github account name). They responded with
> Unfortunately, once an account is locked, it cannot be deleted or deactivated
While I understand they might keep such info to avoid future spam, they haven’t gotten back to me in terms of what I need to get it unlocked. But from the tone of the customer support, I’m afraid there is no resolution but my account details just being locked there.
Any tips? I’m in the US but not in any state that has solid privacy law to appeal.
I don’t see my posts listed when I go to my “Profile”, whether in mlem app or when I log in on web. The posts are technically posted as I can search for them and find them, the “Profile > Posts” are just empty.
I have another account on another instance and it does not seem to happen for it. Anyone encounter similar issues? Or is there some setting I need to turn on?
EDIT: I found the solution based on https://lemm.ee/post/865637. Apparently turning off "Show read posts" in account settings is the culprit. Checking that box again shows my posts. Odd feature. But anw, solved.
I'm very new to self host, so apologies if I say things wrong.
Anyway, I'm looking for comment systems that I can deploy to fly.io (or similar systems but not Heroku) for my static pages (Jekyll) that comes with Codeberg/Sourcehut pages. I found staticman but it assumes Github/Gitlab.
Thanks!
