Source? And fyi, if you use Signal you are generating your own encryption keys. Your private keys are generated on your phone and stay on it. So what gives you the idea that
the US government has all the keys
?? Sounds a lot like a conspiracy theory
True! But then Simplex / Signal are no real alternatives to Telegram, are they?
I'll give it a try, thanks! Sadly it doesn't seem to be well maintained though :/
I already use an ad blocking DNS, but that's not how they distribute ads, sadly
Which one? There's three in my post. And I do use an ad blocking DNS, but this can't block message-like ads from Telegram. Otherwise it would have to somehow read the encrypted message content...
I know! But I don't really have a choice currently; which app would you suggest for tickers / info channels? Mastodon would be an option, but it's not quite the same. Abd I'd first have to convince everyone to use it :/
I use telegram mainly for info channels and tickers. To my knowledge that's not possible in Signal, because you can't restrict participants to be read-only (right?)
So, Telegram has launched horrible ads that look a lot like spam to me. At least in my channels it's typically some crypto bullshit. So, I wonder if people know about alternatives to the subscription service for blocking them? Sadly, Forkgram won't offer that option and it doesn't seem to be allowed. However, I wonder if there are still forks out there which block the ads? Or do people know of alternative options?
Sometimes I almost forget how fucked up JKR actually is
Can you give a source on the Hetzner claim? I'm curious and didn't find anything online
Isn't anyone gonna comment that in the picture there's a flying end of a bed on the wall??
FlorisBoard (at least the beta) is getting there (swiped on FlorisBoard), though it's not quite there yet
Can't relate. It's not harder to get your hands on a matrix account in comparison to a mail account. And for those that want it even easier, just download Element and you are guided through the default registration at matrix.org
I tend to hit ESC :w
Well it seems they don't publish a signing key, so that's a good reason against it.
An application using an AZ-Delivery ESP8266MOD 12-F to display the current electricity mix for Germany in a traffic light kind of way.
Inspired by this Mastodon account, I programmed an ESP8266 microcontroller to act as a traffic light, indicating the current electricity mix. Check it out on Codeberg! It uses an API from the Fraunhofer Institute and the parts cost around 5€. In my shared flat we use it as an indicator on when to run demanding devices, like the washing machine.
So let's assume that there was an easy way to make a sustainable investment by investing into a great fond. So in this hypothetical fond only shares from truly great companies exist. Why should this make sense from a sustainability perspective? Unless the companies in that fond are selling their shares for the first time, the company won't ever see any benefit from me investing, will it? The invested money only gets passed to the person who held the shares before me. So I really don't understand why all the resources I could find stressed how great it is to invest sustainable and what a good impact one has. Am I missing something here? And, a bit offtopic, do you have an idea how to use the money so that it actually does some good?
So currently I use Grapher for plotting equations. I've used it for years and it works great, but it doesn't seem to be open source. So I looked for a FOSS alternative, but didn't find one on F-Droid or the rest of the internet. Do you know of a FOSS alternative? What do you use? Do you prefer web applications (like Wolfram Alpha)?
I first heard about I2P here on lemmy. The concept sounds really cool, but does anyone actually use it? And if so, what for? To me it sounds like it depends on many people using it and many applications integrating it, which just doesn't seem to be the case.
Does anyone know of a FOSS app for yoga practice? This seems easy enough, but I couldn't find anything on F-Droid...
Ok please don't be offended, I'm just innocently unknowing and only recently started identifying as something like enby transfem. But what is the meaning of the blåhajs? Why does a (admittably cute) plush Ikea shark have such relevance here? And can you maybe also enlighten me about common pitfalls I should avoid? (Like a wrong model, wrong spelling, wrong way of cuddling, ...) Or how strict are the blåhaj expectations there? Thanks <3
