Are both dangerous in the wrong hands? Yes.

Seeing things you don't like and blaming the internet...

"I find it particularly hilarious that England calls these American bully X"

"The American Bully Kennel Club divided the American Bully into four categories, including the XL, Pocket, Standard, and Classic, whereas other registries, including the UKC, have approved one consistent size standard.

When you hate the English so much, you just spout bullshit and end up looking silly....

Well, I don't really want to install Facebook spyware on my phone. Signal was made by the guy that designed the encryption used on top apps (if they haven't circumvented that to spy on you yet).

If one of their relatives had cancer, it would be belittling that experience. I would not do that unless I wanted to be a dick.

Try to give a name and model. An interesting privacy suggestion on a non privacy respecting website means folk are forced to click it.

But the companies chosen for login is a slap in the face of anyone who cares about privacy.

If it is e2e encrypted, why would this change mitigate what they are concerned about?

That is a massive disappointment. Hopefully Element gets their video calls sorted. Why can I not just have privacy tools that I can use? Why are the good ones taken away?

Sanity is restored.

Love KDE, and good to see them chipping away at these pain points.

If you start posting, people will join in as they no longer feel the community is dead. Just takes people to make the first move. It's a bit like starting a fire. A bit of work at first, but once alight, you can throw the occasional log on the fire.

"we do not process email content to serve ads" looks very specific. We don't process emails to serve you ads. It doesn't say they don't process ads to understand better what is relevent to you. It is also a very specific word, serve. Serving means displaying, but it doesn't necessarily mean profiling or targetting.

Ads are shown based on: "ads that were selected to be the most useful and relevant for you". So, they're saying they don't directly do that, but it doesn't cover indirect processing that would feed into this.

These people are very clever, and hire very clever lawyers that could easily demonstrate this in a court, so they could use that information and still meet the requirements of the policy.

Considering the astounding level of information gained from Android that feeds into their tech, it would be quite naive to believe they've ring fenced email as something they don't touch. Google still serve very relevant content to people that don't use search and don't stay logged into email. I cannot imagine it's a fluke. Email is a very expensive game to be in when you're insinuating that all they want is to be an identity provider to assist in tracking web interactions.

This bug has now hopefully been fixed, and should work with next release:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3460

It possibly is because there is an error with one of the mod accounts already existing. You could request they remove old admins if they are inactive and this may help to push across the mods. Otherwise, it's waiting for the next release.
