I just realized that there is so much noise about #Meta and very little about creating template legal policies that instances can adopt that prohibit commercial use of user data.

Whatever you think of defederation there are easy ways to do that. Legal policies on the other hand are complex and require expertise and often money.

Maybe #LawFedi can help crowdsource templates of strict noncommercial legal policies for the #Fediverse so instance admins do not have to figure it out themselves?

Anyone know of a good guide for transitioning from #Reddit to #lemmy or #kbin ?

I enjoy that type of interaction, and those look like the best replacements for the Reddit take on that. Not direct clones, I'm not expecting that, but it seems like the best available replacement

When teachers cease to be learners, their students will cease to be also.

Hey #orms #operationsresearch folks, if you're comfortable doing so, please consider adding a short description to your profile that says you're an #orms person. This makes it easier to find each other and also easier to know whether to follow someone back after they follow you.

Interesting: ProtonMail finally admits that Germany "is a good choice given Germany’s strong privacy laws and culture that make it almost as strong as Switzerland."

For once, we couldn't agree more. 😀

We'd even argue Germany is much better as we do not have data retention laws (which would be against the German constitution) - while in Switzerland large tech companies are forced by law to retain data: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/data-retention-germany

The rogue 2FA app that steals scanned secrets is now ranked 18 on the German App Store for the productivity category. No wonder! The app disguises as a Microsoft app. It is the top hit when you search for "Microsoft Authenticator" and the developer has updated the screenshots in the ad card to highlight the word "Microsoft". Surprisingly, the product page of the app shows different screenshots with the word "Microsoft" removed.
The app now has 1.2K reviews, as opposed to 18 when we first addressed the app.

Having an A-ha moment.

I was missing a bit Twitter Analytics, but I found another free tool to get #metrics on your #Mastodon account! It’s called #Mastotools and it’s pretty easy to use.

Fast and simple and working on Mac too 😉
