Is there a database tracking companies that start out with good intentions and then eventually gets bought out or sells out their initial values? I’m wondering what the deciding factors are, and how long it takes for them to turn.

Hold up, are you sure you can’t view Discussions or Wiki? Which sites can you not view them?

I’m fine viewing them for public repos that I usually visit.

Asking to make sure that Github is not slowly rolling out this lockdown.

How is the entity or power that has the ability to grant me such knowledge connected to the existence of the universe?

[-] inspxtr@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

yeah agreed with your sentiment. I think it’s good to have an intuition about something, but it’s much better when there’s data to back it up.

Cuz then, they can do the same with others, say Youtube or other streaming services, and start to compare the numbers, like % of ads, what types of ads, how long are the ads relative to content, how many of these ads are political, how many of these ads may be harmful, …

Having these numbers can be quite handy for other researchers and regulators to look into these issues more concretely, rather than just say, “as your brothers and sisters already know, tiktok serves ads”

I’m looking for a duplicate/similarity checker against a custom set of documents. This is possibly like a plagiarism checker, but with a custom reference (instead of everything that exists).

But I could not find a solution that can be selfhosted, and have some simple UI and capabilities like Turnitin. Any suggestions?

Thanks’

I don’t get what the obsession with big phones is. Is it that most people really want big phones or that companies can charge more for them?

As much as I despise snap, this instance bring some questions into how other popular cross-linux platform app stores like flathub and nix-channels/packages provide guardrails against malwares.

I’m aware flathub has a “verified” checks for packages from the same maintainers/developers, but I’m unsure about nix-channels. Even then, flathub packages are not reviewed by anyone, are they?

what really confuses me is how the FDA approves this without a few more years of animal testing and protocol refinement.

I’m looking for a data archive of corporation ownership networks. For example, Alphabet owns Google, … and some metadata like when they are created/owned by Alphabet if possible. I was made aware of OpenCorporates but it doesn’t seem to have such data as far as I tried.

Apologies in advance if this is not an appropriate content for the community. I figured digital archivists may be aware of the existence of such archive. I couldn’t find a specific lemmy community solely for asking about data suggestions. If there’s a community better suited for this post, please let me know.

Thanks!

dead internet, here we go!

seriously, how bad must it be to change name to clean up their image? We all expect this industry is controversial.

The only recent thing I remember about Pornhub is the current blocking in certain states as protest to the age verification requirement. That seems like a plus in my book that they stand up for privacy and internet use. Changing the name seems like it might dilute their stance.

I’m trying to look for a self-hosted alternative for Airtable (or at least FOSS option) that has some basic mobile app option for viewing + editing.

I was looking at Baserow and Nocodb but I couldn’t find any iOS/android options for either of them.

Any suggestions?

a follow might be: Do the people know better vote? Can they?

Looking forward to someone bringing this up when discussing the ongoing died-but-somehow-always-revived legislations that would introduce backdoors for encryption for government

maybe even integration with uBlock if possible?

First of, I’m not entirely sure they are the same to be honest, sometimes I see discuss.site-a.com while others it’s discourse.site-b.com?

Anyway, are these federated in some ways?

I'm very new to self host, so apologies if I say things wrong.

Anyway, I'm looking for comment systems that I can deploy to fly.io (or similar systems but not Heroku) for my static pages (Jekyll) that comes with Codeberg/Sourcehut pages. I found staticman but it assumes Github/Gitlab.

Thanks!
