The autofill popup has always been unreliable for me on Android (with Bitwarden)
I use the quick settings tile most of the time instead

This is good feedback, I’ll note them down for the next set of changes
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 1 week ago:
I think it’s a mix of the two
Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world’s largest manufacturers.
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 1 week ago:
They’re disabling features
Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.
What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology’s press release suggests.

While it’s still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of “open source AI” are better than others
The OSI one is decent

The format of the post also looked similar to spam posts at first glance. A lot of them are pushing AI things
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 2 weeks ago:
This does happen with comments sometimes. I go into a post and someone has already eloquently said what I would have said (often better than I would have). So I upvote it and move along
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 2 weeks ago:
I think it could work great on a dating profile. It’s unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for the apps that require comments when liking
Maybe not as the first image, but anywhere else. Pair it with a witty caption

It looks like there are a number of reports on this post. If you could edit a tag into the title, such as

This is something that’s hard to describe with words
This video has someone going that speed, they also talk through some of the considerations on how to do that safely

You can just paste the link normally. If you want custom text on the link, you do this
[Custom text](https://example.com/)Renders this
Also I think the post is talking about hiding the data to begin with. There are already some tracking tools out there that look at the existing data. If the data isn’t accessible to you, then it’s not accessible to the AI either. Nothing for anyone to look at
Although I’m not familiar with flight details to know what exactly is being hidden, or if there are workarounds

- Comment on When I sort by "newest" why is the top post a month old? 4 weeks ago:
So while this isn’t the cause in your case, it is possible to sticky things to the main feed. It’s done by admins, and for example lemmy.ca had something stickied right now:
- Comment on When I sort by "newest" why is the top post a month old? 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s a federation bug. That post is on community.nodebb.org, which isn’t a Lemmy instance but actually a different software.
Which in itself is cool! There are a few projects being worked on right now to make traditional forums compatible with activity pub. The idea being that someday you’ll be able to follow and post in official support forums for things right from your Lemmy account.
But right now, it might be causing some weird federation bug. Maybe the date of the post shows up to Lemmy as sometime in the future and so it’s always the “newest” post (or something similar)?
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 5 weeks ago:
Some brainstorming from me:
- Ideally people do not buy more teslas
- An initial goal would be to use the vehicle without it phoning home. Would the TeslaMate project be sufficient for that?
- Long term, would it be possible to replace the software running on the car’s console? Or would it be better to tear out the console and replace it with something else.
Alternatively, what would a recycling program look like?

I’ve heard Kobo is better than the other big players when it comes to interoperability with open formats / self hosted setups.
As for the servers
The main one
github.com/janeczku/calibre-web
A popular newer one

Also let’s not downvote good faith comments, especially when they’re phrased as a question and wanting to learn more

Makes me think of Original Position / veil of ignorance
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_position
The original position (OP), often referred to as the veil of ignorance, is a thought experiment often associated with the works of American philosopher John Rawls. In the original position, one is asked to consider which principles they would select for the basic structure of society, but they must select as if they had no knowledge ahead of time what position they would end up having in that society. This choice is made from behind a “veil of ignorance”, which prevents them from knowing their ethnicity, social status, gender, and (crucially in Rawls’s formulation) their or anyone else’s ideas of how to lead a good life. Ideally, this would force participants to select principles impartially and rationally.
