One of my most favourite things was watching the wizards over in r/BotDefense killing shitbots enmass via the open API weddit had until spez got even more greedy.

I know it’s not directly tied to what you’re asking via the UI, but I am interested in how you could help some of those excellent bot hunters of day gone yonder.

I’m not 100% sure how to check these things but have they simply defederated from your instance? Maybe to garner weight in posts etc?

And while I ain’t digging too much because one I’m now lazy and two can’t be arsed creating drama, but did flag this user who’s all over my feed

They’re nearly on for a dead on slice of the Pi, but I’ll leave the puns out of it.

Huh, seems more about locking Chrome down but doesn’t touch on Webviews.

Are you looking for something like Briar, or even Jabber/XMPP?

Your crosspost isn’t really clear, but I do have a superb sticker pack for zero fees?

On Boost it inserts the markdown like so

Blah blah ::: spoiler spoiler blah ::: blah

Are people downloading youtube videos to their Plex/Jellyfin and watching them locally?

Of course they are, and you can stream the media or download it via many other means including youtube-dl.

They also still actively thwart users who are on a CG-NAT’ed connection so I ponder if the legality is now starting to bog them down.

Yeah I was of the same mindset for a good while and generally rocked with Nova since forever.

But when that Branch shit came about I dabbled with Neo/KISS/Niagara/Kvaesitso Launchers (which Neo is still the default on my backup locker phone) and others but when I got this Poco F6 I found the system Launcher works fine…🤔

Apart from this stupid thing which I think is more a “Xiaomi/HyperOS thing”, and not the Poco Launcher per se

Something I have noticed thou over these years is I really don’t spend too much time looking, or interacting with my Launcher so kinda don’t care 🙈

My backup phone / last daily driver had one, and I did use a SD card in it simply for another place to backup my DCIM folder as part of my 3.2.1 backup, but I did always wonder why I bothered because if I did lose the phone the SD card goes with it, making it pretty moot.

Still, I am of the notion that there’s never enough backups.

Because I generally travel within the UK, it’s rare for me not to have an internet connection so to be honest I’ve not really cared for a SD card for a fair while now. I understand in places like the US / Aussieland they’re a godsend to some but I’m fairly ambivalent on the subject now.

And having a ridiculous amount of storage on tap from a couple of NAS’s accessible via Tailscale, and my last three phones having between 256GB-512GB internal storage SD cards are pretty much relegated to other devices like my drone/GoPro etc. edit: I suppose another thing that fills the void for me if I do need extra storage on my phone is I can just plug one of these into the USB port from my keyring, and I’ve then got unlimited replaceable storage?

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s stupid doing away with it and other things like IR blasters / headphone jacks and, more irritating to me? Notification LED’s. My Nexus One had one, my Mi A1 and Cubot had one but I can never understand why they ain’t a standard thing across the board.

I 99% of the time used reddit, and henceforth Lemmy via a mobile client (Boost at the moment) and am curious how you could target me.

There’s also the other frontends like Photon that I use on my PC (1% time…) that if I’m thinking right also wouldn’t show it?

Cheers for all your work, it’s much appreciated!

I think it’s actually my instance not loading “SD” images (sometimes not initially, sometimes, straight away?) and it’s not until I click the “HD” button does it actually load images like the above?

My instance thou is mainly run by a couple of guy who are a little busy IRL and it might be playing a part in what happened above since Nicole generally gets through most of the time.

Bad, Nicole 🫢

I hear ya.

But like I say the Fediverse is a bit different to reddit and means someone from a freshly made/hosted instance can straight up send you “bad things” in a comment thread nevermind a DM unless the Instance admins have de-federated from a spam(my)/unmoderated instance.

I’ve been putting off the invite to help the admins of my Instance since I’m a complete idiot at the best of times, but I do think we need more people flagging / tagging / sharing / mass banning them.

Good luck and have fun with the risky clicks ;)

Has Nicole been trying to cheat on me again?

But seriously, sometimes these come from random instances besides the one you’ve mentioned and I can’t see how you could block them outside of playing whack-a-mole due to the nature of how the Fediverse…works.

Maybe instance admins could implement some kinda cool off feature before being able to DM another user, maybe the Lemmy devs could like you’re requesting outright allow you to block DM’s. Thing is, the spammers then adapt and use other methods to desperately try to get you biting their shite.

I had another yesterday

https://files.catbox.moe/lojl62.jpg

that didn’t show up until I clicked the [obj] placeholder in Boost and eventually did the risky click shit even thou it could’ve been CSAM 🤬

Some of us love seeing dodgy devices and their nooks and crannies. If you wanna share them here, or even over on our TG * where there’re many nerds from that region still ;)

t.me/randroidtg

You’ve got me more curious about the device itself and a rough geographical area it was bought in. Care to share?

Why being MDM’ed would make it stolen?

Because companies that have already implemented MDM on a device (which your friend has) will be the first to remove any trace of them on it (data protection/GDPR etc) and if it’s being sold still with the credentials of said company (with bonus malware?) you might want to poke around it a little.

As the page above states - someone is in charge of that device still and can manipulate it as per the policies they introduced when locking the phone down to an entity.

tldr: most thieves ask for FRP exploits etc to get around a MDM secured device.

If it’s MDM’ed, that 99.99% of the time means it’s a stolen device.

Where did they buy it from exactly?

I’ve just checked 5hrs worth and some users are gonna get themselves snagged by screenshotting these dickbutts. Whether that’s by their ISP or whatever, and it seems might be wise to hunker down and ask active community members for moar reports?

Main thing is thou did you manage to get your openssh-server working on Android yet instead of using the client? I made that fugg up first time.
