James R Kirk@startrek.websiteOPto Android@lemmy.world•If I wanted to donate a few dollars a month to the future development of a phone OS that will allow users to continue "sideloading". What is your recommendation, and why?English0·12 days agoThanks for explaining, I didn’t realize it was so device specific. I just assumed if you had an ARM computer you could install an OS the same way if you have a larger computer like a laptop you can.
So adjusting the question- where in your opinion should I put money? Fairphone? I notice Graphene doesn’t have a release for their devices.

You might be surprised.English1·18 days agoSkip episodes become brand new episodes after enough time has passed! I recently watched “The Mark of Gideon” and had absolutely NO memory of it. Yay new trek!
Also you’re the second person I saw on here refer to “Take Me Out to the Holosuite” as anything other than great, and while I find that surprising I am glad to hear you’re on board!
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Adding PieFed/Lemmy to lists of privacy options could raise awareness of its existanceEnglish1·20 days agoA default installation of Lemmy/Piefed won’t track users beyond what they intentionally do on the site. But if you want to be sure, then you can always host your own instance of one person. (In addition to all user activity), other instances can only see the IP of the instance the account is hosted on.
If you want something to be private then well, don’t post to the public web (as a reminder- DMs aren’t private on Piefed/Lemmy). If you want to be anonymous, then use a VPN and don’t repeat a username you used elsewhere.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is there a phone I can buy that out the box is rooted, private, and does not install bloat apps?English0·23 days agoThat’s what OnePlus, Nothing, and FairPhone are supposed to be about.
It seems that you’re implying they’re not? Could you expand?

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Adding PieFed/Lemmy to lists of privacy options could raise awareness of its existanceEnglish0·26 days agoYesterday I caught you spreading disinformation to promote a for-profit social media company. Today you’re here with disinformation about Lemmy.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Adding PieFed/Lemmy to lists of privacy options could raise awareness of its existanceEnglish0·26 days agoPrivacy is a spectrum. But when 99.99% of userdata is publicly available no responsible person could call that service “private”.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Adding PieFed/Lemmy to lists of privacy options could raise awareness of its existanceEnglish1·25 days agoI’m going to be THAT guy and point out that while Piefed and Lemmy instances have much better incentive structures to be good to their users they are very much NOT private and on the default instance setup nearly all data collected is publicly available.
EDIT: Many people in this comment section don’t seem to be understanding that “Lemmy” is not one website like Reddit. Each instance is it’s own thing entirely and there is ZERO guarantee than a given instance isn’t using hidden trackers. This is NOT a defense of Reddit or a criticim of Lemmy software which is very good. But it is a fact and you should be wary of the motivations of anyone claiming that “Lemmy” is private or similar.
Nothing big is wrong with them, the drama got blown way out of proportion to a frankly insane degree.

We’re seeing a return to “social” networks. The big platforms haven’t been social for years.

So like when bluesky starts having to pay back their investors I can portable my identity to… one of the other blueskies out there?
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fediverse@lemmy.world•How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse.English3·1 month agoSo does Reddit but you presumably see some value in federated platforms yea?
Thanks, it’s weird to me because as I said it worked flawlessly with LibreELEC. I would be sad if it doesn’t work because the Kodi experience is pretty awful these days.
