  • What would be your opinion on a lemmy/piefed instance that's run like Athen democracy?

    Jump

  • Someone has to make the actual contract with a hosting provider, unless there is a separate legal entity for this (e.g. Fediverse Foundation for feddit.org). Thus, someone needs to have skin in the game. I doubt someone would easily hand off the instance he/she is responsible for to a third party. At least I wouldn’t.

    Jump

  • Quite a stupid idea honestly. You seem to not understand that someone needs to host the infrastructure that an instance runs on. So what you are saying is: give the admin rights to a server that someone pays money for, to some other person every few weeks. This just does not work.

  • Seems to be a repost - article dated Apr 30, 2021 at 4:45 PM GMT+2 Original HN discussion is linked in the current topic.

  • Apple expects to notify 100M people that they have hypertension in a year

    Jump

  • The headline is absolutely wrong, in the keynote they expected to warn about one million users in the first year - not 100 million.

  • Google to require developer verification to install and sideload Android apps

    Jump

  • The requirement will go into effect in September 2026 for users in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. Google notes how these countries have been “specifically impacted by these forms of fraudulent app scams.” Verification will then apply globally from 2027 onwards.

    Interesting side note

  • Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits?

    Jump

  • You are right, this is a 1:1 mirror of Reddit without any Lemmy user interactions. Since it is a one way mirror, any comments would not reach Reddit, I assume this is why it was decided to keep the communities closed down in such a way.

    Jump

  • There are whole instances dedicated to mirroring Reddit. However a lot of people on the fediverse oppose such features, on my home instance eg. lemmit is filtered out of /all stream. https://lemmit.online/

  • Iceland approved 4-day workweek in 2019; six years later, predictions came true

    Jump

  • Wow.

    Today, almost 90% of Icelandic workers benefit from a reduced working week of 36 hours, compared with 40 hours previously, with no loss of pay. Initial concerns about the four-day week were widespread, both in Iceland and elsewhere in the world. There were fears of a drop in productivity, increased costs for businesses and difficulties in adapting to maintain service levels. However, the Icelandic experience has swept these fears under the carpet. Icelandic reports show that productivity has remained stable, and even increased in some sectors. One of the keys to this success lies in improving the mental health of workers, a crucial aspect highlighted by Generation Z. The reduction in stress, combined with a better work-life balance, has had a significant positive impact on employee well-being.

  • Certificate will expire on 14 March – update Firefox to prevent add-on breakage

    Jump

  • On 14 March a root certificate (the resource used to prove an add-on was approved by Mozilla) will expire, meaning Firefox users on versions older than 128 (or ESR 115) will not be able to use their add-ons. We want developers to be aware of this in case some of your users are on older versions of Firefox that may be impacted.

    Impacting only older versions of FF then.

  • Multiple Lemmy Accounts?

    Jump

  • It helps to keep a backup account on another instance, in case there is an issue with your main server. You can export your settings and subscriptions from your main account and import to another Lemmy instance.

  • How to find out which instance is federated with which instance?

  • The article is dating back to 2017. This news is around for years at this point in time.

  • Oracle Cloud deleting active user accounts without possibility for data recovery

    Jump

  • Interestingly, two days before Oracle deleted my account and all servers associated with it, I publicly criticized Oracle's CEO in a viral post for promising dystopian AI surveillance technology to his investors.
