I recommend this site to compare all the apps across various platforms

https://www.lemmyapps.com/

I think Interstellar and Voyager are available on both android and Linux

Personally I would suggest picking different apps on each, since it’s all the same backend data. A mobile focused app may not behave as nicely on desktop.

You can likely also run some of the alternative UIs as PWAs or full apps, but I haven’t explored that yet

It depends on how the person is sharing the image.

If they upload it directly or link to the image file on a website that supports it, then it will appear nicely. Otherwise you might need to click on it in order to see it

I like Komodo, it’s reliable and it has a lot of nice features. I previously used DockGE

I’ve also heard people use Arcane but I didn’t give that a fair try before settling on Komodo so I can’t judge

The alternatives have been better for a while now

This was a problem in !selfhosted@lemmy.world and they’ve done a good job of dealing with it. You could take a look at that past discussion to see what worked / what didn’t.

IMO there is an organized effort behind some of these new accounts pushing AI projects, and you need to deal with it in some form to stop them from coming

The admins here? Or do you mean reddit

I was referring to here

Please report them, this is a clearcut case that admins can take care of.

We don’t have any magic technology here to block all bots, but we do get rid of them when they are found

To those downvoting, there are other sources confirming that a drone did hit the beach, whether intentional / accidental / intercepted; by a state or individual

I haven’t tried anything other than KDE plasma, but Niri looked interesting. CachyOS has Limine as a boot manager option, and I liked it

The distro has a lot of desktop environment options in general

CachyOS is pretty popular right now :)

You would think that an organization like this would have a better understanding than the average person

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Software_Association

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is the trade association of the video game industry in the United States. It was formed in April 1994 as the Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA)[1] and renamed on July 21, 2003. It is based in Washington, D.C.[2][3] Most of the top publishers in the video game industry (or their American subsidiaries) are members of the ESA.

Sweet, thanks for bringing it up to them. Looking forward to being able to follow some of the boards 😊

Would CoMaps be a better recommendation than OSMand?

For those who are familiar with Ente, how are their apps? I use something different for 2FA and photos, but I need recommendations for people who don’t want to deal with selfhosting and backing up Aegis

I like some of these things, but I’d be ok with them being optional toggles. I remember seeing a Firefox fork with extensive customization options for the UI

Personally

• rounded corners make it easier to see what is contained in what. It gives more information than just having everything meet at corners
• gradients and blurs match the rest of my UI 😄

I think because I read about this riddle in the past, I might have built up some associations myself. So maybe there’s actually nothing there 😄

It’s not important, just an observation of spoken language. Similar to the order of adjectives or how there’s usually a “correct” sounding way to list two names.

If anything, it might explain why people are tied to a particular order of multiplication and division

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonaesthetics

Something I haven’t seen mentioned yet is how we remember it as either BEDMAS or PEMDAS, but not PEDMAS or BEMDAS. The order of M and D are tied to whether we use the term brackets or parentheses. BEMDAS sounds very wrong to me

This is helpful, and I hope these other platforms grow in popularity. However, my concern with kids is that they will desperately want to use the platforms that their friends are on and they will hold it against the parents (and alternative platforms) if they are forced to make do without the big tech ones.

I think addressing that will be helpful. What I would add:

• Talk about alternative front ends and teach kids about them. Its possible to access the big tech sites without the ads and tracking, and often its a much better experience. You could also explore other ways of using the platforms with limited permissions, such as by using the mobile browser instead of the app, and/or custom extensions that modify the platform (ex. uBlock origin removes ads). This way, kids can still see some of the content that their friends see (under parental supervision), and they can talk about it with them / participate in the group dynamic. They might even feel superior for knowing how to get around the problems that their friends complain about.
• Work with other parents to transition on to these other platforms. If the kid and their close friends are on the better platform, then all of the stuff above is a moot point :)

edit: by alternative front ends, I mean something like Redlib for Reddit: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/aww/

There is a list here: https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends

What if you distributed the tool under the normal channels, and then used gumroad (or anything similar) to sell an optional key that adds a little visual indicator or removes a nag message. I’ve seen a few other open source projects do that. Grayjay for example

Amnesty International did put something out in both of these cases.

For the first one, the additional link goes into why that testimony was initially included in their report before the correction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony

• https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v13/n03/alexander-cockburn/right-stuff

Nayirah’s story was initially corroborated by Amnesty International, which published a report about the supposed killings[3] and testimony from Kuwaiti evacuees. Following the liberation of Kuwait, international media crews were given access to the country. A report by ABC News found that “patients, including premature babies, did die, when many of Kuwait’s nurses and doctors … fled” but Iraqi troops “almost certainly had not stolen hospital incubators and left hundreds of Kuwaiti babies to die.”[4] Later, Amnesty International USA reacted by issuing a correction, with executive director John Healey subsequently accusing the George H. W. Bush administration of “opportunistic manipulation of the international human rights movement.”

The second one is more complex, but they’re mentioned there too

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violence_in_the_October_7_attacks

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International stated that these alleged confessions were likely extracted under torture, violate international law and basic human rights, and should be considered inadmissible as credible evidence.[61] They also called on the Israeli government to cease publishing such taped “confessions”.[61] Physicians for Human Rights Israel denounced these alleged taped confessions, citing “severe concern that the interrogations included the use of torture.”[64] The UN and reports by human rights organizations such as B’Tselem and media outlets have confirmed Israeli systematic use of torture during the Gaza war, including rape, gang-rape, sexualized torture and mutilation of detained Palestinian men, women and children by Israeli guards, including during interrogations.

My point is that, biases definitely exist and there is often selective reporting with news organizations.

I just find it weird to lump amnesty international in with all that when they seem to be one of the few that are actually calling out atrocities regardless of “sides”
