Just finished reading and honestly I think it gives a really good argument about why exploitation is ruining our lives both directly and indirectly.
Like if we lived in better harmony with the environment (not taking more than we need and giving back what we take) then we'd be much more resilient as a species. But now one disease is being spread widely because we just had to optimize everything, lose all the variety that made us safer, and make it so that we are much more vulnerable than we would've been before.
Funnily enough the person that made this video had a little controversy on the vape-o-nomics video when he was talking about how subscription services were bad but then immediately pivoted towards an ad read for a subscription service.
Eventually it was removed (without a comment talking about, it happened silently) but still this stuff reaches everyone eventually.
I was thinking societally.
Seems like you have a better idea than I do about privacy so I'm probably not gonna be much help. However make sure that you use extensions that you trust or use as few permissions as possible because that also can be another vector where information can leak.
Oh and there was a post on here sometime ago about a website that show what kind of information it can get from your web browser so you could use that to check how much info you are leaking on the web at least.
Any hardened version of Firefox, like LibreWolf, would be my main choice.
Oh ok. Well the kind of information is stuff like whether an organization is doing/has xyz or if that person is part of certain departments or something.
what does zip mean in this context?
Edit: better wording.
Semi related to this I think a good way to avoid back doors in open source software is to have as few dependencies as possible. So I appreciate that this is a thing.
That's unfortunate.
Don't you guys have an admin chat group. Or at least you guys would have some way of keeping in touch since this has happened before.
Yeah this admin is only 1 month old. So it does seem likely that they weren't around for the last outrage.
The part that annoys me is that this was done silently even though last time they said they would ask their users. Hopefully it was just an admin that didn't get the last memo.
Edit: the community -> their users
Anything you are particularly proud of?
Ok, I just wanted to make sure if that is what you were saying.
This is a copy of a reply to @godzillabacter@lemmy.world :
Just to make it clear the definition that I used does not talk about choosing people for tasks they are suited for, but rather putting them in positions of power, success, and influence.
I don’t see how you could prematurely know about spammers or trolls until someone reports them.
I don't think you can. My suggestion was more focused on how admins make decisions after a report. Right now they have to do a manual scan of the person's comment history and that is the part I find inefficient. If it was possible to just show extra high level information on the user it might make it easier for the admin to make a decision.
We don’t plan on adding any text-analyzing AI or anything like that into lemmy’s codebase.
Yeah using AI to try and analyze comments would be overkill and probably prone to manipulation anyways.
Edit: I'm sorta talking more specifically towards banning a user or seeing if what a user is doing is a repeated pattern.
Yeah that's fair. It was just more of a possible what if.
Hopefully you're able to get more people that can help develop the features that are in the backlog.
Anyways thx for answering. I was half expecting it to be skipped.
Well I am not 100% sure on what the best method would be.
I think the addition of letting moderators see who is voting on what posts is a nice addition since they would tend to be closer to where the content is.
More generally I was thinking about creating a dashboard that gave the admins statistics about that user.
Similar to how we as users can see how many comments and posts any user makes, it might be useful to allow admins to see statistics about which communities the user interacts with or some rudimentary similarity score with other users?
These are some ideas I thought of on the fly and have not thought about the implications but the gist is something that allows the admins to get a better understanding of what is going on from like a bird eye's view.
Edit: and where -> on what posts
That is the article that made this chart.

If you want another one that shows the same basic increase in prices here is another one from statista.

I was able to solve the problem. Instead of downloading it from the Software Manager I installed it from the terminal instead.
When I installed it from the software manager it didn't download one of the packages (org.gnome.platform/44) but when I did it from the terminal it did.
Thx though.
Edit: Yeah it was a flatpak.
