I use Firefox mobile day to day and keep both Mull and Brave installed. Unfortunately right now Brave is recommended on mobile for privacy:

Firefox (Gecko)-based browsers on Android lack site isolation,1 a powerful security feature that protects against a malicious site performing a Spectre-like attack to gain access to the memory of another website you have open.2 Chromium-based browsers like Brave will provide more robust protection against malicious websites.

Hope to switch back to Firefox & Mull only once that's fixed

How does one simplify distro hopping? Do you have a workflow to make it easier to set everything up?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The app offers different functionality and designs, which someone has to spend time making or maintaining

Lemmy has a lot of different options for how you can access it between the different front ends, open / closed source, or free / paid. You're encouraged to find the options that work best for you

I like Boost, and I'm happy to do a one time payment for it

 

Some subreddits change their CSS in annoying ways, even hiding the "Use subreddit style" toggle that RES provides.

The fix that worked for me:

  • type . to bring up a RES command window
  • enter srstyle off

Hopefully that helps when you need to use old.reddit for something, at least until it stops working for good

Which version of the app is this? I assume the update isn't available in my region yet or something

We recently crossed the first anniversary for many of us on Lemmy and the Fediverse, and we are thrilled to announce an important milestone: we have started a new registered not-for-profit organization! The organization is registered as ‘Federated Open Communications Canada’, and we will go by 'Fedecan' in our day-to-day operations.

Over the past few months, we have been working behind the scenes on the necessary paperwork, bylaws, and other administrative tasks to get the organization rolling. Thanks to the invaluable feedback from our previous check-in, we decided to take the leap and register federally, which will allow us to operate across Canada more easily. For more details, you can check out the FAQs on our new website.

Resuming Donations

With this important step completed, we are now ready to resume accepting donations. We have set up several donation options to accommodate different preferences on convenience and fees. Our first priority is to reimburse those who have been covering server and other costs, and to set up regular financial updates. We are open to adding more donation options, so please let us know if there is an option you prefer.

Our current costs

  • Server hosting - $150/month
  • Domains registrations - $50/year
  • Non profit requirements - $500 one time

Our Next Steps:

  • Reimburse individuals who have covered server and operational costs and to set up more regular financial updates
  • Collaboratively creating guides and learning resources about Lemmy and the Fediverse (ex. how things work, data/privacy details, and best practices for moderating or running instances, etc.) + translations
  • Exploring other platforms to run. Some that are on our radar include Sublinks, Pixelfed, and Matrix
  • Developing logos, colours, and other branding details based on ideas from the community

What we want to know:

  • Do you have any questions, comments, or concerns? This will also help us expand our FAQs
  • Which other platforms would you like us to explore?
  • Do you prefer any other donation method?

We want to help build a better online experience for everyone, and that requires an organization with a strong foundation. This should be the first step in that process.

Thank you for everything so far, and we look forward to seeing you around! 🥳

Sometimes a login page will have an additional field on top of the username and password (ex. last name, account number). This is often the case with things like banks, insurance, or government accounts.

I usually use Bitwarden to populate the username and password, then fill in the other field manually. Turns out, you can autofill those fields too:

  1. Right click in the field
  2. Select Bitwarden > copy custom field name

Then enter that as the name for the custom field.

Up till now, I was using custom fields to store additional information about the webpage. This will make things easier :)

Looking forward to it. Also was that Marianne?

Hope this was ok to crosspost, I posted it on [email protected] but thought that it would be more helpful in an Australian community. I'm more familiar with the Canadian system, and while we have related issues, a lot of this was learning as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Oh I don't mind it, I like the post :)

I was thinking that there might be a lot of Lemmy users working in such roles, without a place (that I know of) to share those stories

Oh, we do have a !talesfromtechsupport community (link). Looks like the mod is inactive and the community doesn't have that many subscribers

Maybe we can try making a new one here on programming.dev

sarcasm is already hard to understand online, even harder for generative AI

I know sometimes I would take a peek at the person's comment history to see if they were well informed / a shill for the product. The AI can't do that

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Definitely this one, the products are sometimes placed right next to legitimate ones and worse:
