I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

For anyone that has friends that can be convinced to move off snapchat:
If what they want is the “One weird trick your doctor is hiding from you” style content on the discover page, then I got nothing.
Here it is
I found this (rather toxic) thread talking about turning it off. Doesn’t seem like it’s possible normally, but I’ll be curious how GRAPHENE IS handles it.

Ah it’s only available in the US too
The new version also hasn’t been around for that long, so it might face issues that will be worked out over time. We already had a post on a Lemmy android community about moisture issues
It’s actually recommended by a lot of profs now where I am, which is really nice
They overhauled the UI recently and it looks nice and modern too
I found it to be more than I needed. I still have it installed, but use localsend more often
It could be the price of advertising, but I feel like this is one of those cameras where you need to connect it to your wifi or make an account with them
Ah any reason why Firefox decided not to include WebSerial?
Maybe you don’t want to buy the Station, or you left it at home. In either event, you can simply plug the iron into your computer and configure it via WebSerial.
You’ll need a browser based on Chrome to pull this trick off, as Mozilla has decided (at least, for now) to not include the capability in Firefox. In testing, it worked perfectly on both my Linux desktop and Chromebook.
Unfortunately, plugging the iron into your phone won’t work, as the mobile version of Chrome does not currently support WebSerial. But given the vertical layout of the interface and the big touch-friendly buttons, I can only assume that iFixit is either banking on this changing soon or has a workaround in mind. Being able to plug the iron into your phone for a quick settings tweak would be incredibly handy, so hopefully it will happen one way or another.
The WebSerial interface not only gives you access to all the same settings as plugging the iron into the Power Station does, but it also serves as the mechanism for updating the firmware on the iron.
I believe you can also look at the instance modlog and filter by community. Maybe try that?
Was it !politics@lemmy.world ?
Thank you! That was helpful to know
Very detailed, thank you for writing it up :)
I think it is since it was a similar interface across the 2 I checked, but I don’t have WhatsApp installed to check that one
Thank you! This answers most of my questions
The ones you never set up, did you ever interact with them in any way? Or did they mistakenly mix your data with someone else’s (which might even be a good thing tbh)
I cleared it before I had a chance to look through properly. There should be a menu option when you look at the list
1. The platform needs an incentive to get rid of bots.
Bots on Reddit pump out an advertiser friendly firehose of “content” that they can pretend is real to their investors, while keeping people scrolling longer. On Fediverse platforms there isn’t a need for profit or growth. Low quality spam just becomes added server load we need to pay for.
I’ve mentioned it before, but we ban bots very fast here. People report them fast and we remove them fast. Searching the same scam link on Reddit brought up accounts that have been posting the same garbage for months.
Twitter and Reddit benefit from bot activity, and don’t have an incentive to stop it.
2. We need tools to detect the bots so we can remove them.
Public vote counts should help a lot towards catching manipulation on the fediverse. Any action that can affect visibility (upvotes and comments) can be pulled by researchers through federation to study/catch inorganic behavior.
Since the platforms are open source, instances could even set up tools that look for patterns locally, before it gets out.
It’ll be an arm’s race, but it wouldn’t be impossible.
An older but related article:
Thanks! That’s much easier
Edit: for a better method, see this comment below
You would need to navigate to that instance on desktop
For example, as others have said:
You can’t see it from your instance because not every community will be pulled. A community only starts federating to your instance after someone on your instance subscribes to it
From the last paragraph, it sounds like the intent is to make it easier to switch devices and services, which would be great
