I have a habit of using a flashlight to go to the toilet in hotels or unfamiliar places, so I don’t stub my toe or other stupid stuff when doing the nightly toilet sleep walk.

So I grab the flashlight, point it around and notice a glint from the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan didn’t have an IR remote so it didn’t make sense and yup, sure enough it was a little lens that conveniently pointed towards the bed.

Fun thing: We actually signed a waiver that the house uses cameras, since there were a view regular ones on the perimeter for security, which seemed logical. That asshole really tried to play the “but you signed that you’re okay with being filmed” card.

Stopped using them once my girlfriend and I found a hidden camera.

Sueing was much more stressful than just getting a regular hotel. Never again.

Thank you!

Could someone explain what I’m missing here? Seeing this for the first time and it just seems like random words.

We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!

Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.

Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.

My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.

My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That’s going to be fun…

Not only is Rudd doing and amazing job as admin of the instance, they are also really transparent ab ob it the challenges in their frequent updates!

I see what you mean, but there’s also a large number of lurkers, who will only vote but never comment.

I don’t think it’s unfeasible to have a small number of comments on a highly upvoted post.

Nope, it’s an absolute nightmare. The post basically outlines how you could feasibly exploit data across a majority of the Lemmy network without much effort at all.

With a bit more effort you could also link the Lemmy accounts to the users email, as becoming an admin is as simple as hosting your own instance and getting users to join.

Boom you have a business case of profiling people on Lemmy and selling those profiles to advertisers, stalkers and perverts alike.

It is a pretty big deal. What it essentially means is that you are completely exposed, if you pardon the pun.

And yes, absolutely everyone with basic IT skills has access to this data as it is shared across instances. All it takes is a couple minutes to deploy a docker image and boom, I’m somewhat of an admin myself.

The fact that this data is stored in plain is a major security and privacy issue that makes me rethink this platform.

“Curating” makes it sound like you are some kind of porn connoisseur.

I mean let’s be real: Anyone with a fraction of self-respect would walk away from this dumpster fire after being repeatedly called noise by the idiots running the website.

But on the other hand I have to admit that Spez was completely right. This did blow over rather nicely for Reddit, since any publicity is good publicity and it seems like most of it is business as usual minus actually good apps.

Connect for Lemmy is amazing.

There’s also wefwef, which seems to be a clone of Apollo.

Popular Reddit apps like Sync and Boost are currently in the process of making Lemmy ports.

In no particular order:

• Remove API changes
• Remove u/Spez and his lovely executive board
• Make the site a non-profit project without ads, since most of the work is done by volunteers anyway

Oh, and for fucks sake: Remove that shit stain that is the official app from the universe.

Sure, but why grace the dumpster fire with traffic, when you also can just copy the relevant parts here?

Thank you for your effort in running this instance and also for being so transparent about the whole process.

Have used Reddit exclusively on Boost since 2018. This is amazing news!

Thank you Ruben!

It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.

It’s a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.

When Reddit is Fun turns into Reddit is fucked.

And the sad part is that it seems like 99 % of Reddit’s population don’t care the slightest about that and are happily enjoying the ad- and telemetry infested piece of garbage Spez wants to shove down our throats.
