They were never a test to evade bots to begim with, most capchas were used to train machine learning algorithms to train the bots on ! Just because it was manual labour google got it done for free , using this bullshit captcha thingy ! We sort of trained bots to read obsucre texts , and kinda did the labour for corps for free !

Could be reddit , hiring people to kill the competition 😅 (jk)

Same ! I live in india , but seems like i am wayyy to updated with us political news !ugh

Thats exactly what I thought , there are a bun of me issues with the author and seems like he has not even tried to get to understand lemmy,

I wonder if I am developing an app for lemmy and I am based in EU , am I obligated to get an external vulnerability audit done , or pay a 15.million euro fine , since I am working for a corporate with a full time job?

U dont need command line on most just works distros for average use ! My brother and my mom use linux mint and ubuntu on their PCs and it just works !

Glad to know things are better now !

Tbh i have never been a reddit user , or rather did not frequent to reddit , however i was on fediverse since long , the recent boom in lemmy has made this a better place to be !

They consider foss products out of this requirement , only when the contributors are volunteers who are not working or are employed by a company !! Or get a corporate donation, if even one person contributing to the project is a corporate employee they need to go with the crazy rules they have laid !!

I think they do , two of my school friends are his fanbois and even after his open goofup at twitter they be like , Elon musk , rocket boi , innovator and genius , first to invent sattelite internet ,he has enginnering degrees in making cars and rockets and should stick to it ! ( i was like no he does not have the degrees) 😏

I use mint on my PC , for its stability , and since all ubuntu software are supported , it is pretty great software selection wise too !

Well if i am developing a product and I work for a corp or if my project is getting donation from a corp , it will be considered as a commerical project , it does not need me to be working on that product as part of my work !!

Even without the web integrity api , the tests for amazon hiring process at least in india require you to run windows/mac and chrome, linux and firefox are not supported !

Ah this is much needed response ! I switched servers but lemmy.world is still my go to server , it was down so much that I had to try alternative ones ! Good it know its not a load issue !

They prepared a list of software that need mandatory audit , like browsers and all !

Just read the act then ! It keeps it vague enough to consider a person working in free time will be considered a commercial product

Agree , ubuntu, mint and popos are just works distros with max number of apps available , flatpak ( tho controversial in the linux community) has also given good option for just works distros to be user friendly ! My non technical family members have been using linux for years now without any issues !

https://youtu.be/iUgAS1luxEQ a video here !

Exactly ! I left all mainstream sm platforms for fedi platforms and I dont regret it !

Try librewolf , its just hardened FF

I was not actually a reddit fan to begin with , but I left fb and twitter and lemmy and mastodon have replaced them in my list so ...

Nahi aisa nahi h !

Also its breaking sites left , right and center ! Things load on ff much better

Basically A foss product is not exempted if an employee ( does not need to be a tech employee) contributes to a foss prod , or if a company donates to them ! So even npm packages by individual coders who are employed say.by dominos need to take audit and deliver vulnerability free code .

I echo this

Ecactly , even though my work can be done better on a linux pc ( I am a dev) , my office has provided me with windows , since they have some group admin policy and shiz !

Weird , I have been using ff , twitter pwa for years and notifs work for me , although i voluntarily disabled notifs now !

Idk about that tbh , I have an account , and my algo is pretty trained , and there are times I have even told youtube to not suggest me peterson and shapiro stuff ! I moslty watch leftist content ! But i still get ben shapiro reacting to barbie and what not ( I am not even an american)

Exactly !!

Ah ! I have content blockers enabled those disable comments too 😅

There is a telegram pwa i think but i use the open source app for that !

I generally take a pull from their git and build it on my machines so yeah !

I think its bit late for awareness campaigns now , google will eventually bring the web integrity api , I am very scared about if we will even be able to use new OSes , but i guess a new web with less dependancy may develop !

Did they change stuff ? I was running an instance on my home server , but the server ceashed and didnt get time to reinstate it !

Not really most apps I have on my phone are now fdroid apps !

I have been using fennec and yeah the load is slow only when i have all the extentions enabled but overall a great browser

I havent been a reddit user in the past , except lemmy is much more positive i felt

Never said I do ! I just said my work is easier on linux , for reasons of easy setups and builds etc !

Thats the best !!
