  • San Francisco police suspend Flock camera network access following 'improper queries'

    Jump

  • I've been noticing this too. All the cities are like "Oh you're unhappy with Flock? Okay, we'll pick a new vendor."

    No.

    We're unhappy with being spied on, tracked, and monetized everywhere we go. We want the cameras down whether they're made by Flock, Meta, Axon, or Fischer Price. Put it back how it was.

  • Android verification is coming: Google confirms timeline and supported app stores - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Ugggghh, I finally got 85% degoogled and the storm clouds in the distance tell me I'm going full Linux on desktops, laptops, tablet, phone, and media boxes in the not so distant future.

    That said, fuck Google. If you ask me to leave, I'm leaving.

  • Louis Rossmann is suing Samsung after firm offers $330 refund for defective SSD while selling the drives on Amazon for $949 — spat over 4TB 990 Pro SSD is headed to court

    Jump

  • I admire his level of pettiness. When it comes to pettiness, Louis comes second only to the hungry hustler, OG Afroman. The way he was dropping diss tracks all up and through the trial and had the court of public opinion massively on his side was legendary.

  • I also don't expect him to settle. Louis has principles and a DGAF - get it done attitude and an extreme allergy to bullshit. Truly a hero for the people. All he asks is that we participate and speak out on these issues. My next guys poker night (or equivalent) might include a group email writing session. I know several people who I would not have expected to get involved who have written their reps regarding right to repair and other consumer advocacy and freedom issues.

  • "Scammers have adapted": Valve confirms that physical Steam Gift Cards are dead. Once the current stocks are sold through, they're done.

  • Same but with haircuts. My mom used to get 4 for $40 cards around the holidays. She was very astute when it came to finding actually good deals.

  • This Company Will Add Phone, AirPod, and Smartwatch Trackers to License Plate Readers

    Jump

  • I've been inefficiently and lazily looking for something that can automatically turn the mobile network on and off again once per hour (or other period of time, potentially even randomized times).

    I have been turning my phone off every time I go to the grocer because I firsthand verified that they have BLE beacons in use.

  • Signal, DuckDuckGo, and NordVPN threaten to exit Canada if metadata surveillance law passes

    Jump

  • We could break things back. If we truly united, our combined power could almost stop the rotation of the earth. It could certainly grind the global financial system to a halt.

  • Signal, DuckDuckGo, and NordVPN threaten to exit Canada if metadata surveillance law passes

    Jump

  • Is there organizing happening up there? I've been disappointed at the amount of my friends and neighbors here in the US who understand it, contacted their congressperson, and then hung up their hat like the job was done.

  • GrapheneOS user reported to authorities by age verification company Yoti for using OS

    Jump

  • Is there any way to intentionally fail this attestation with Graphene over and over again by VPNing into the UK with a Graphene device and letting it ban and report you over and over again until detective Nobbleberry from the BBC is in the US breaking down your door?

  • Ottawa Blocks Privacy Watchdog From Testifying on Secret Surveillance Bill

    Jump

  • It's like serial numbers, RFID, lora trackers, traditional security cameras, eyewitness testimony, and evidence-based search warrants don't exist. Instead, they tell us that we have to give up all our rights to find lost dogs and bikes. I'm a cyclist with a few decently nice bikes and I'm not silly enough to think my bikes overrule anyone's 4th and 5th amendment rights.

  • App Store users in Texas will now need to verify their age

    Jump

  • Thanks, this looks like a good backup for me when I finally cut the Google cord completely. Unlike my preferred solution, they offer downloads outside of the play ecosystem and that means something, especially in today's times. I miss the old days when you sent a dev $10 and got a code you plugged into the app itself and would work on that build for the rest of time.

  • Replacing Ticktick with a Self-Hosted ToDo App

    Jump

  • Ah, so I just misunderstood the terminology. That's great. Much appreciated.

  • App Store users in Texas will now need to verify their age

    Jump

  • May I ask what you use for a file browser? I really, REALLY,like X-plore and have communicated with the developer on a few occasions and bought and rebought whatever licenses or bonus features he offers. I haven't found anything that works as well on either the FOSS or proprietary side. It does SMB, FTB, local files, Nextcloud and WebDav, etc. You can set up automated tasks to clone folders to a destination or move files (like photos) on a schedule. It does zip and archive files and has 2 panes making it easy to copy things around.

  • We should all simultaneously delete their apps off of our phones and cut those data streams. Uninstall Day.

    Every year I go through my apps on a big spreadsheet and look at licenses, perceived sketchiness, alternatives, breaches, etc. This has helped me move further and further from the worst offenders and this year I may actually have more FOSS than proprietary apps. I'm gonna share this year's sheet somewhere on Lemmy when it's done.

  • Don’t repeat 5G mistakes with 6G, plead mobile operators

    Jump

  • Yes, also, it should be criminal for home internet providers and phone service providers to conflate, directly or by implication, the "G" in 5G (fifth generation) and the "G" in 10G (ten gigabit).

    I saw a commercial one day that went something like "Our competitors only have 1G; we have 5G. Don't you want to have the most Gs? We have the best Gs, no one has Gs like us. Don't settle for inferior Gs, call today!"

    I remember commenting on the switch from 3g to 4g back around 2009 or so and they were already being deceptive in a lot of ways back then. Telecommunications has been a cesspool for decades.

  • Replacing Ticktick with a Self-Hosted ToDo App

    Jump

  • Thanks for the reply. I have Vikjuna running and it's honestly pretty similar to TickTick.

    The mobile site works great as a PWA and I grabbed the app just to see what they where working on. PWA is great, app is still very much WIP, but not a deal-breaker at all.

    I do have one workflow that seems to clash. Perhaps you folks can help me logic something together:

    I have a family member who is very list-adverse. They get upset and stressed out with due dates, and missed deadlines, and competing priorities. I still need them to help with chores. I was wondering if there was a way to have tasks in a project regenerate themselves when they are marked complete with a start date x days into the future. The basic idea is that instead of seeing "You didn't clean the toilet on 1-June-2026." they would see something like "Clean toilet, task created 10 days ago (with no due date)." Planka showed the number of days since a card was created in the bottom right of the card but didn't support recurrence (and didn't appear to be fully FOSS despite being self-hosted). Ideally, someone could go to look at the tasks and instead of seeing "You should have cleaned the sink on 2-JUNE you failure," they could instead just see all the chores on cards with a number showing how long they've been sitting without being done. Know anything like that?

  • I use Obsidian in other contexts (e.g. long-term goal setting, journaling, knowledge recall). I tried to use it for tasks, but quickly over-complicated things. I have a lot of tasks and it can be hard to wrangle everything without a bunch of smart lists and tags and such. I may give it another try. I'm making a list of solutions I want to try for a week or two each. This is the core of my daily routine (along with my calendar), so it feels reasonable to over analyze the choice.
