Have had this issue myself asking with other DD card related issues.

I can’t understand why the pi foundation persist with using SD as the only physically practical storage option.

They’re looking post the point of needing a way to snap on reliable EMMC storage, as a default, in a way that doesn’t leave a cable or something permanently plugged into a USB port.

Sure, USB is a fine option, but I hate that it’s only an option and not a designed default.

Most of us only need 8GB or so for the OS, 8GB or good quality durable EMMC should hardly cost anything.

Other tiny computers and even economy notebooks and Chromebooks already use this.

?

That’s a massive wall of text to say “sorry we got caught”

Only for places not worth working for. If Louis Rossmann saw this he’d probably offer her a job immediately.

Hence why they have transmissions that ensure they’re in a favourable RPM range at all times.

I hear there are cases where people need TPM, but I don’t, and switching it off is a great way to avoid this crap.

That’s true, but also dumb at the same time.

The benefit of reduced drag applies regardless of mode of propulsion.

So really, it’s complexity for complexity sake.

Yeah… Fuck us for driving to a job no public transport can get us to right?

If you wanna admit you suck go right ahead, but with the means I have at hand in making a solid effort.

Sounds like your not.

Consumerism and capitalism is the real issue. Must have the latest iPhone, the company must grow. Limitless growth must happen in a system with limited resources.

Typed from my 5 year old phone I don’t want to replace but Samsung agree pulling security updates so I’ll have to.

127.0.0.1 is you

They’re both terrible. Why should anyone have to support either? Does it have to be a choice?

This, very very much.

I can’t code for shit, but am willing to put some time and effort into FOSS.

But I’m not sure what’s needed, or where is needed.

Have these projects ever considered just asking for the help they need?

Hello self hosted person.

No wucken furries ! Have a great fucking day!

This is a humor community, not an intellectual discussion community.

I think you’re lost.

What… No one new is allowed to see something aggregated in a new platform and/or at a newer time?

Because fuck me if I never saw it first time around?

Sorry mate but I’m going to have to give you the old Aussie “yeah… nah…”

You got profanity enabled? It’s an option not on by default. Turn it on… Or don’t… See if I give a fuck. I might not… Because I’m running pretty low on fucks to give… and I don’t really want to run out else I’ll be fucked. Google default keyboard with profanity enabled incase you have to fucking know.

Sounds like scare mongering.

Why would that be any different than a PC with the 2FA app on the PC?

Banking on suitably patched and secured phone is NOT an inherently risky activity.

Why not?

I agree with everything you’re saying, but it’s frustrating that people are jumping to conclusions to think this is deliberate, nefarious etc…

Lemmy, being a federated system has different practical realities to Reddit. You can’t have a federated system with multiple instances each with their own admins, and have it function without cutting off data flow. For voting to work in a federated system, vote data must flow, and people need to understand this.

Reddit was **not **a federated system, so there was no need for vote data to flow, and people also need to appreciate this difference.

The only solution is to remove voting. It’s as simple as that.

Maybe long term a system could be devised.

I’m not in denial, i do firmly believe that is is an issue, and that it WILL be abused by someone. But I’m also a realist, and the features we have can’t survive without voting data. People need to be aware of this, i think it’s fair that everyone knows the risks. At an individual level people can choose not to vote, and thus have no vote data associated with them, but i suspect there might be more than vote data, i don’t know for sure without looking at the code, but I suspect saved posts might be a privacy concern.

Personal opinion, i think abuse will happen, but it will be limited, just a feel i have. I do however suspect this abuse will exponentially ramp up if lemmy gets big traction.

Your choice of wording is driving me take you less seriously. You sound passionate though so I’ll explain.

2. Actively worse? Your use of of the word active implies that something deliberately malicious is happening. It’s not the case, this issue is a side effect of how lemmy works. It is an issue, it is a concern and it does need addressing, but your hyperbole is unwarranted.

3. Lemmy isn’t selling anything… it’s a piece of software. This is the most false and malicious claim you’ve made. If our data were to be used nefariously then it would be the actions of a rouge server admin.

The definition of privacy is somewhat flexible. Nothing is private unless end to end encryption is employed. And nothing like lemmy can work with end to end encryption. So there is the dilemma. Yes it sucks… yes voting should be private. How about you propose a solution? Because at this point, outside of shutting everything down there is none.

The technical fact is the software must be able to reference data in a database to then create this page you are viewing, this text you are reading and the votes you are seeing.

Possible lemmy / server side solution…

1. remove voting
2. remove accounting of voting (this can’t really work as without connecting a vote to a user, any user can upvote or down vote something unlimited times.

Possible user side solution… Don’t vote Simply not participating in voting means there is no voting data tied to you; and this is, believe it or not an actual valid solution if you are concerned.

Ultimately for lemmy to work some tradeoffs are required. I do agree that where there is some gain to be made, someone will abuse the system, I’m not naive enough to say there is no problem here… there is. It’s just that yelling at the wall isn’t going to fix it. I’ve exhausted myself trying to think of a solution, and the only real and workable solution i can think of is as i said above, that voting be removed, or that you simply don’t participate in voting.

So if you’re really concerned and want an immediate solution effective for you then don’t vote on anything ever. I’m not saying this to be a prick, but as a piece of legitimate advice. If no vote data exists for you then no one can harvest your voting preferences.
