I guess it depends on the specifics of what you are worried about. I have a catchall set up for a domain I own, and so I can make up an email on the spot. I’ve never had trouble getting those accepted.

But for random internet stuff I tend to use either Firefix Relay or Simple Login. I use these most of the time and don’t normally have issues, but if I do then I use my own domain.

I think these relay email services (which are not temp/disposable emails btw) let you set up with your own domain too.

There is already plenty of empirical evidence to support the claims of the harms of social media, but in spite of this, change is glacial.

I think at one point you could make the same argument about medicines. The problem is that politicians are appointed with a popularity contest.

I don’t remember all the arguments of the article, but when you think about it, the harms of social media are medical. It’s possible that we could expand the scope of the current medicine approval boards to include algorithms, with their job not being to understand the algorithm but to understand the research on mental health.

I don’t have all the answers, but I do think it’s an idea worth exploring.

In my view social media is probably not the problem, but the algorithms they use that are designed to be addictive and manipulative.

I saw an article once arguing that the algorithms should be regulated in a similar way to medicine. Give some base ingredients they can use freely (e.g. sort by newest first), then require any others to run studies to prove they are not harmful.

There would be an expert board that approves or declines the new algorithm in the same way medicines are approved today (the important bit being that they are experts, not politicians making the decision).

Lemmy is a different kind of platform. Twitter wasn’t for me, but I never clicked with Mastodon either. Some people like the microblog format but I just never got it, or maybe I never worked out how to use it probably.

IMO the header should stay at the top os part of the page. I know where it is, I’ll scroll up to it if I need to.

Like you, I find a header appearing and hiding quite difficult in specific circumstances.

Just one team working on Teams, and they are doing their best to make it worse.

I for one encourage them, it apparently needs to be even worse before my work will consider changing

Even better than a coin flip is asking this what to do then doing the opposite!

He probably just wishes he put it in the contract signed with the mothers.

I guess the most plausible explanation is incompetence, there wouldn’t be a reason to do this on purpose (a backdoor), right? Since the company could have easily used different credentials per device that they store anyway?

GrapeneOS have a specific goal related to security. You can install one of the others, like LineageOS, if you are happy with the tradeoff.

Is there anything that prevents a tech bro buying the hardware and accessing the network to post with their LLM the way they do with the internet today?

So how long until it’s small enough to power a Pip-boy?

From the thread it seems it’s only a problem during setup. If you stick it out then after setup it should be fine.

RCS might be better than SMS but it seems to only be supported by the Google Messages app so I do without. You did ask about other things, I don’t recall giving anything up but then there are these two things you mentioned that I never would have thought of so maybe there are more.

I hope I can get my Dexcom working on gos.

It’s apparently a struggle, but see this thread. I can’t work out how to link a specific reply, but there is one on 11 August 2025 by whoiswes and then some info in the replies following it, that recommend something called xDrip. They say they recommend it over the Dexcom app and runs flawlessly once set up, but it seems there’s a bit of app crashing that happens while setting it up.

Oh I was already degoogling long before I moved to GrapheneOS. I’ve never used RCS and gave up wallet years before moving to GrapheneOS. I only use SMS with specific people so not having RCS has never been an issue for me - but apparently it works on GrapheneOS if you don’t mind the whole google thing.

And apparently it’s only NFC payments that don’t work on GrapheneOS, you can use other wallet features according to the people in this thread.

I never stopped carrying a card anyway so NFC payments aren’t something I miss.

I thought it might be that. I just didn’t want anyone to get the impression you use your phone less because it can’t do as much! I still use mine too much 😅

I am confused about why it made you use your phone less. Is it that you didn’t install your time sink apps?

I use GrapheneOS and nothing really changed day to day. Admittedly I have sandboxed Google Play Services installed so I can use my banking app and some others only on the Play store, but largely it’s just a phone like before but without so much Google.

Chat GPT, generate me an image of an eyeball.

It might have changed but there is a setting for it now.

Pretty annoying that I’m just learning setting no signature did nothing since they added a second signature option for when sending from mobile and enabled it by default.

The blog article you link I think implies you do not have your own VM. LLMs are stateless, the previous conversation is fed in as part of the prompt.

You send your message, which is E2E encrypted. The LLM runs in an environment where it can decrypt your message and run in through the LLM, then send a response to you. Then it gets the next user’s message and replies to them.

The key part is that the LLM is running inside an encrypted environment not accessible to the host system, so no one can watch as it decrypts your message.

That’s what I get from reading your links.
