Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.
Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.
Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!

OP I agree with you, it’s a great idea imo.
I’ve been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..
Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban
I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
so it’s good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.
However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.
Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it’s become my go-to network speed testing tool
Sure hope so.
Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.
Instead it’s a general “contact your government”,
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.
Wayland might be the future,
but today we’re still living in the present…
I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.
Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn…
E.g:
You can use Aegis and/or Yubico Authenticator instead, that’s what I do.
Never give up,
each eye you poke out is one less they can use for data collection.
It’s a slow process and they’ll grow more eyes,
but the less they have on you,
the more private you’ll be.
Suyu is the most popular + actively developed afaik.

They host their code on their own Forgejo instance:
https://git.suyu.dev/explore/repos
Which is more DMCA proof then Github/Gitlab.
I hope ForgeFed will go into production soon,
then we can synchronize the code in between multiple Forgejo instances in a federated fashion.

I feel you :/
I’d answer with:
Because it’s a privacy nightmare.
They’ll answer with:
I don’t care about privacy,
I’ve got nothing to hide.
I’ll answer with:
That’s a dumb reply,
my privacy is not important,
but systematic privacy is,
if we don’t care about it,
we’ll end up in a oppressed surveillance state like China.
And then they say “huh” and likely will continue to not care… ;-;
However it does make some aware,
in which I’m putting my faith.
All I want to know is how it can be removed / disabled permanently from my work laptop when it reaches it.
Removed by mod
Imo cuz people are too PC (Politically Correct) buthurt lately.
I’d even flip the tables, and call it racist if you won’t allow other races to dress up / admire your own race.
Ofc doing it to make fun / be a dick about other races is not okay.
Hope these will help with opting out for data collection / informing yourself about it:
Ah sorry that wasn’t clear to me,
thought you where talking about KVMs as in Kernel Virtual Machines :)
I’m using Looking-Glass to share my mouse/keyboard/audio between host and client:
https://looking-glass.io/
And USB-Libvirt-Hotplug to pass through USB devices to the KVM on the fly:

Hope these will prove useful to you :)
Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.
Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM, to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.
Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.
All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).
To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?
Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.
