Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text
  • I once called my bank because I had trouble logging in. They didn't outright say it but they implied that they could see my password and asked if I wanted to update it by telling them the new one. I said no.

    Update to Terms of Service + New Bylaws (Protections for users)
  • Is that what this is about? Anyone that can't grasp nutrition concepts that an 8 year old can understand, shouldn't be taking care of any living being
    Edit: After reading more into it, I realise I was wrong. In the past, I had heard of people trying vegan diets with cats and they ended up dying, hence my original opinion. It is apparently not that clear cut. I still don't think it's a good idea to put a cat on a vegan diet unless it's necessary.

  • I can never go back, I can see why torrenting is so popular in Canada
  • it couldn't find any servers locally on my network, so I had to use my IP address. So when (not if) that IP changes I'll have to troubleshoot.

    One workaround that I can think of is to use ip reservation to give your devices the same ip address whenever they connect. You might find that setting under DHCP on your router. Or just use a static ip on the server.

  • Why is propaganda frowned upon?
  • Propaganda is by definition misleading and political in nature. It can lead to policies that can make life very bad for a lot of people (see Nazi propaganda).
    A misleading, nonpolitical ad, may make you waste money, but it's unlikely to lead to police rounding up foreigners in the night. Dishonest interpersonal communications will make you lose friends but it (generally) doesn't set political policy.
    Thats not to say that advertisements can't be dangerous, but at least they're regulated to limit potential damage. Anyone can push any political statement as fact and get away with it as long as it doesn't piss off the wrong people too much.

  • best app for lemmy?
  • I've used connect, jerboa, thundar, sync, voyager, summit and liftoff. Eternity is the only one that works well for me without annoying bugs and has all the features that I need.

  • [Feature Request] Button for viewing context

    Could a button for showing context be added when viewing a single thread? For instance, I made a comment under someone else's comment, they replied and I see it in my inbox. When I click on the reply it takes me to the thread where I can see my comment, the reply, and any replies under it. But I can't see the OP comment that I originally replied to. There's a "Click here to view all comments" button but that shows all threads and I'll have to scroll to find my comment. So is it possible to add a "context" button?

    Is it just me or do lemmy apps forget where you are if you switch apps on Android?

    Apologies if this is the wrong place but I'm not sure where I should post.

    If I have any lemmy app open to a particular thread (I mainly use Thunder but it happens on all apps I've tried) and I for e.g. switch to my email app for a couple of minutes, when I switch back to lemmy, it will go back to the home page. I'll then have to find the thread that I was on again. I have noticed this on Thunder, Connect, Voyager, Summit and Liftoff. It didn't seem to happen on Jerboa when I tested just now, though I'm sure it used to happen.

    Is there something that app\lemmy developers have to fix or is it my crappy Samsung A10s?
