Greetings everyone. It is with much regret that I am writing this post. A plugin, ss-otr, was added to the third party plugins list on July 6th. On August 16th we received a report from 0xFFFC0000 that the plugin contained a key logger and shared screen shots with unwanted parties.

We quietly pulled the plugin from the list immediately and started investigating. On August 22nd Johnny Xmas was able to confirm that a keylogger was present.

Hi everybody, just checking in to see if there's anything like the subject is requesting.

I really love the pinterest back in the day, but it's privacy abuses are obscene.

And I just want to know if anybody is aware of anything that is a better option for someone who's more privacy focused.

Thank you so much.

They have an Android tablet of their own that I've configuredb strictly for child use and it has helped them learn many things easily using apps such as Khan Academy Kids and Duolingo Kids. There is precious little beyond that that is not not infested with ads or needs subscriptions that are bound to cost a lot in the long run.

I have an old machine with Debian connected to my TV that I can also attach a PS3 controller to, if needed. What software can I explore in the Debian world that can help my child continue her learning journey. I'm open to suggestions not just for learning tools, but also for games that might help.

PS: they get plenty of outside time too, so that's not a worry. I just want them to explore things and discover things they might like. I'm amazed by their ability of assimilate stuff so any help about diverse things like gamified music theory, art, logic will be highly appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi all,

Building the Quiblr client has been my passion project on the side. I'm excited to share it with the community!

Check out the repo here

I hesitated for a long time before posting this because I didn't think it having copyrighted materials (even in the client itself by default) is something the FOSS community necessarily likes the sound of but now I'm sharing it anyways. I guess I'm making my image of the most controversial Lemmy user official with this one.

I've been looking into all sorts of them recently: logseq, appflowy, vikunja, etc. What tools do you use? Why? What problems did you run into with the previous set of tools you used for this job?

Right now I'm primarily interested in finding a "zero-knowledge" (cloud provider doesn't have access to my data) system for task management. Needs to be able to have recurring tasks and tasks organized in some interesting/useful ways (by projects/labels/something, maybe a kanban and table view). Deadlines and time tracking/planning interesting but not required.

Forgejo is changing its license to a Copyleft license. This blog post will try to bring clarity about the impact to you, explain the motivation behind this change and answer some questions you might have.

...

Developers who choose to publish their work under a copyleft license are excluded from participating in software that is published under a permissive license. That is at the opposite of the core values of the Forgejo project and in June 2023 it was decided to also accept copylefted contributions. A year later, in August 2024, the first pull request to take advantage of this opportunity was proposed and merged.

...

Forgejo versions starting from v9.0 are now released under the GPL v3+ and earlier Forgejo versions, including v8.0 and v7.0 patch releases remain under the MIT license.

I recently discovered this firefox\chrome extension that make streaming videos soo much faster. It also has built in subtitle support that lets you upload subtitles or search through opensubtitles. It's incredible how much faster videos load https://github.com/Andrews54757/FastStream

I am a long-time NoScript extension (https://noscript.net/) user. For those who don't know this automatically blocks any javascript and let you accept them (temporarily or permanently) based on the scripts' origin domain.

NoScript as some quality-of-life option like 'accepting script from current page's domain by default' so only 3rd parties would be blocked (usefull in mobile where it is tedious to go to the menu).

When I saw LibreJS (https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/) I though that would be a better version of NoScript but it is quiet different in usage and cares about license and not open-source code (maybe it can't).

Am I the only one who thought about checking for open-source JS scripts filtering (at least by default)? This would require reproducibility of 'compilation'/packaging. I think with lock files (npm, yarn, etc) this could be doable and we could have some automatic checks for code.

Maybe the trust system for who checks could be a problem. I wanted to discuss this matter for a while.

Hello Lemmings!

I am thinking of making a community moderation bot for Lemmy. This new bot will have faster response times with the help of Lemmy webhooks, an amazing plugin for Lemmy instances by @rikudou@lemmings.world to add webhook support. With this, there is no need to frequently call the API at a fixed interval to fetch new data. Any new data will be sent via the webhook directly to the bot backend. This allows for actions within seconds, thus making it an effective auto moderation tool.

I have a few features I thought of doing:

  • Welcome messages
  • Auto commenting on new posts
  • Scheduled posts
  • ~~Punish content authors or take action on~~ Auto report content via word blacklist/regex
  • Ban members of communities by their usernames via word blacklist or regex
  • Auto community lockdown during spam

What other features do you think are possible? Please let me know. Any questions are also welcome.

Community requested features:

  • Strike system

Strikes are added to a certain member of the community and the member will be temporarily banned within a time period if their strike count reaches a certain threshold

  • Post creation restriction by account age

If an account's age is lower than X, remove the post.
