What’s wrong with Apple Notes?

I assume it’s because of HIPAA requirements. The doctor is essentially recording patient information into his private Apple account. Obviously that depends on what info he was putting there. If it was just mundane stuff like scheduling, then it’s probably fine.

Except breaking end-to-end encrypted messaging. That’s the one sore spot.

.zip has the closest instance policies to .ee. A lot of .ee refugees moved there (me included). Some also moved to piefed if you’re considering that.

This and surveillance pricing are good arguments against the nothing-to-hide-nothing-to-fear crowd, the next time you get into a debate with one.

Assuming your group has a considerable amount of non tech savvy people, I would suggest Friendica just for the familiarity, since it’s supposed to be like facebook and it would be easier for people to use. I don’t know if it has groups though. You might also sacrifice admin/mod capabilities. I’m not familiar how good friendica’s admin tools are (if any).

Another person already said it, but the issue is the lack of third spaces. You don’t need to physically go to an office to get a sense of community. Working remotely makes it easier to get a sense of community if there are third spaces because you’re not stuck in a building for 8 hours. If your only source of community is your workplace, then you have other problems.

I like how Privacy Badger replaces tracking icons/widgets. I’m guessing uBO just removes them outright? I haven’t really bothered to check the differences.

Tildes.

I wonder how a corporate product deal would ever be cheaper than FOSS software. Bundled apps perhaps? And maybe central management? And maybe centralized or cloud-based storage and content management?

They are better with their physical privacy (i.e. gated mansions and tall fences), but the ones who aren’t tech-literate (i.e. non tech bros) are likely the same as everyone else, and are probably even worse off than privacy-conscious regular people. I remember Zuck uses Signal, so we know at least the tech bros who are technically literate (and not the ones who only pretend to know what they’re talking about) are aware of their personal privacy.

No wonder most websites look terrible on desktop now and are designed for mobile.

I think it’s simply because more people use mastodon and lemmy, so there’s more incentive to work on them, and there are a lot more contributors to development.

Do you know where I can see a list of piefed instances?

Found this: https://github.com/sponsors/twingyeo-kr.

A quick translation says:

Hello, twingyeo.kr is a Mastodon instance operated by Team Onstables Co., Ltd. Currently, in order to create a ‘space where everyone can rest comfortably’, our instance is covering all operating costs with the income from the software development sector of Team Unstablers Co., Ltd., the main operator, without any means of generating profits such as advertising.

Maybe the instance is down that’s why it’s unreachable.

The heat index in my city right now as I type this comment is 42C/107F. And summer is just starting. This is gonna suck.

Ask him first why he didn’t like it. You can’t convince him otherwise if you don’t know why it doesn’t interest him.

Fantastic! Been waiting for this for a long time.

I never said that was the only reason. We’re talking specifically about image proxying vs mirroring in this thread.

I tested this yesterday and it does work!

That’s credit towards the admins who acted quickly. That’s why you’ll see instances defederate from an instance if their admin is not active and doesn’t take action against illegal content in a reasonable time, because it can quickly get out of hand. Now if content isn’t proxied and is always mirrored, not only will the admin have to defederate from the problem instance, but they will have to go and clean up whatever was copied on their instance as well.
