Ohhh gotcha. I have Voyager open links externally to my browser which uses Waterfox with Privacy Badger (by EFF) and Port Authority (recommended by ff staff iirc) extensions. Should accomplish the same thing. Man, too tired to think and process when I saw voyager and trackers smh. Thank you!

Ohhh boy, I didn’t realize voyager had trackers?? Where do you find tracker control? EDIT: found it, it’s one word.

From F-Droid:

"What does Voyager offer?

- No trackers or advertisements, ever - Multi-account support - Gesture-driven UI - Compact and large post feed mode - Mark posts as read on scroll - Hide read posts, or hide individually - A beautiful private messages UI - Settings to customize Voyager to your desire - Quick community switcher - Mod tools - Open source: code is available on Github"

OK but in the non open source instance, that’s fine. I’m more so calling on a lot of these non profits, foundations, or other orgs preaching OSS and open internet, yet use GH. They have a lot of influence and are well known, which could hello addition to other platforms.

Touché. I was just meaning response

Oh wow I did not realize there a limit. Is that per project? Maybe that was a limit initially? I’ve cloned a couple repos but I guess I’ve not checked size.

Sweet I’m checking this out! I like the idea of truly owning the data like a lot of other decentralized or federated projects are doing.

Hell yeah! Great perspective.

Very nice! This makes total sense. Let me rebuttal with Enshittification

“Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.”

Microsoft is good at fucking up platforms they acquire! Lately they’ve just been more patient with it.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. As a non Dev, I more or less assumed it was more pet projects and foss apps than business repos or projects.

I also felt like if projects are linked on a company or business website to bitbucket or codeberg, etc, it wouldn’t matter because it’s getting exposure that way. And also assuming a git repo basically functions the same way regardless of where it’s hosted with some minor differences in tools.

I think Microsoft learned their lesson finally on fucking up acquisitions (talking Mixer especially lol) where they buy out a platform but then curse it with their touch and it fails. Now, with LinkedIn and Github, they sort of leave it be with subtle and incremental changes because then petiole continue to adopt it. Now its like FB or Snapchat where people are there bc they think everyone else is there (assuming). Idk, it sucks.

I’ve just been freeing up my phone and life from all major data siphons. Social media has been gone for years, but then news about LinkedIn getting way worse with data (which it’s already sucked) and sharing now with Amazon, is just BS so I’ve closed it.

One REALLY annoying thing I’ve personally noticed and can’t confirm but feel it; all the companies with jobs postings basically collect all these applicants data without ever hiring. It’s another dataset that can be monetized, so now companies can make money off everyone without much effort. Through some efforts I’ve read online as all as gone through myself, we all know there job market sucks-especially tech, but I guess I never considered why there are so so many posted jobs still until now.

Fuck them all!!

This is a “trust me bro” vibe from Google. Guess sites will just have to deal with a drop in traffic. Cuz they’re not getting any more data from me if I can help it

Rough. I’m all for PC, but you’re about to find out how expensive PC gaming is with the “memory crisis”. I’ve been with Xbox myself for 20 years and my game library is so big I couldn’t imagine switching. My gaming PC was over 2500 a few years ago and it sits there collecting dust bc consoles are easier to fire up and play here and there. It was also easier to share licenses with games to play co-op with my kids. I’ll be ditching soon I feel cuz that falls to the wayside more and more, and GP keeps going up and up. No longer can i just pay $5/mo gold for online, its at least $10 for no good reason.

I guess I can’t blame you, of they do age / ID verification or whatever you wanna call it, I’ll probably ditch consoles too.

My wife would just sell my data.

So we can now sign up with your email for accounts?

Ohhh trust me I know it’s all about surveillance. I’m just meaning they’re going to negatively impact everyone everywhere without a second thought because they’ll get what they want in the end. Either more money or more reelections

My other biggest gripe: what happens to business computer users at the office? What about their admins? How much extra work is this going to create???

Funny about the Number 23. After watching it years ago, I still find it everywhere and often. I know it’s probably one of those: “Get a new car then notice that same car everywhere” effects, but still…

Thankfully, some counties are waking up and canceling contracts. However, for the majority of us it’s all too unfortunate.

Let me comment before finishing the article: this is a software’s lack of security problem, not a young teenager’s problem.

The fact they were breached, that’s nothing new. Same goes for everyone’s SSN under the sun, who cares?! The fact that a young person is owning up to it now, they have to punish and make such a big example out of him, it distracts from the failure of big tech…

Edit: another reason not to put all your eggs in one basket. PowerSchool is an American tech company, public on NYSE in 2021, and now owned by Bain Capital… Would you PLEASE THINK OF THOSE INVESTORS!!!
