This isn't new, interesting or noval information. If you run whats app from the desktop app or from web.WhatsApp.com on you're browser on a PC then no shit they know your on your PC

Why does it matter if the people I'm chatting with know if in onnmy PC?

Biden Administration Backs Legislation to Seize Frozen Russian Assets in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Because you can't do self-harm. The state would never allow for its own hand to be cut off. Russian assets are from a whole different pool of capitalists.

Except, they don't. They can't even keep up with the demand from both Israel and Ukraine. The MIC isn't spinning up fast enough, and local factory production is almost non-existent. Soon the bark is going to be more than the bite.

Do you like being the global economic superpower with hegemonic influence over the world economy? Because this is a good fucking way to get other nations to tell you and the World Bank to fuck right off. Can't seize assets that are not part of your banking regime, and this definitely incentivizes de-dollarization.

Could this result in a balkanization effect? Lots of exit talk in the last 10 years (caliexit, texit). Could conditions be reaching similar states that invoked things like The Hartford Convention?

My thinking is there would probably need to be more external intervention for that to a happen. Which I think aligns with history.

Relay Phone Number and OTP codes in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[–] RedWizard@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

That would be more then I'm willing to spend. I'm basically trying to get around their human verification process. The first thing they demand is a phone number to receive a OTP.

What I did find was a service called smspool.net that let's you order a non-voip number to receive a OTP for around $0.25. You can rent a phone number if you want but I was able to get the OTP and get through the appeal process.

OK I might have answered my own question. Its likely that the numbers provided to you are VOIP numbers and not "real" numbers.

WhatsApp will not let you use a VOIP number to sign up for their service. Its likely Facebook will not send a code to a VOIP number as well.

Kind of a bummer. I just want to argue with chuds on my local page without giving Facebook my soul lol.

Cross Instance Interaction (lemmygrad.ml)
 

https://lemmy.ml/post/1412462

So I'm sure we've seen posts/comments like this recently. It gets me wondering if there isn't a way to create a unified experience across Lemmy instances.

My thinking would be to build a browser extension that lets you authenticate to your home instance, or pick up on your existing authentication, and then perform the required API calls to your home instance when interacting with posts on another instance.

But I also wonder if this couldn't be implemented at the UI level of the default LemmyUI. I know there are some federation mechanics that need to happen before your vote/comment/post is submitted, I just don't know if that's something that slows this idea down or completely derails it.

Part of the frustration is this: If I send a community to someone via some normal coms (email, text, whatever), the link is going to be relative to my home instance. If they are a Lemmy user but on another instance, they're not going to be able to vote, comment, or subscribe to the community from that link.

That interaction is what built Reddit. You send someone a link to a Reddit post, they enjoy that post, they eventually sign up for Reddit, and they start interacting with posts.

This might simply be a larger ActivityPub issue, but I have to imagine there are clever solutions to work within Lemmy's or ActivityPub's limitations.

Pokemon is driving me to want a Plex Server. (lemmygrad.ml)

My 2.5 year old loves watching classic Pokemon. I'll be honest, so do I. But have you tried doing that? It's fucking insane.

  • The first half of S1 is on Netflix
  • The second half is on Amazon but you need an extra subscription to watch it.
  • The theird season (johto) is also Amazon.
  • The 4th is no where but Archive.org of all places... Which is called Johto Champions, so it really feels like the end of the season but it's another 52 episodes!

You would think pokemon.com would have all this (they have a lot, and it's all free) but they don't!

Seeing S4 (is that even right?) On Archive.org is really pushing me to want to build a Plex server. Having all this content in one place would be very nice.

I do IT work by day, and I have some older 2TB platter drives from a retired camera server laying around. What's the easiest way to get my foot in the door? Do I save up some $$ for a Synology box?

Love to get your input!
