    the whole premise of OP is that this monitors people, and many organizations use TOTP, which one could also use without internet connections or phones AFAIK.

    I’m in academia and I wish this is implemented more. Data breaches are getting quite common, and Github is so entwined in software engineering that it is critical to increase security measures.







  • Yeah these recent events really do start to look like The congress. I watched it only recently due to one of such events. Not sure I fully understand why people dont like it.

    Anyway, the second half of it is just so eery, the reality distortion part, is sometimes both inspiring and uncomfortable. And I think there’s some potential parallel with generative AI.

    With Dalle/ChatGPT, one may create virtually anything from already available data, just like people in the 2nd half can take on any form, which is inspiring to me.

    But at some point, I guess both can lead to some loss in meanings, detached from reality. And eventually, instead of embracing beauty in diversity, people might turn to or get normalized to bias and conformity. Like how GAI may exacerbate unrealistic beauty standards, and how those people tend to choose only certain forms/figures to “be”.






  • Can you say something about the log files from running Lemmy on the admin end, or any federated service for that matter? Is there are data retention or privacy policy in terms of that? Or is that already public from a user perspective and has been made known for all users explicitly in a TOS/policy already?

    On another note, please correct me if I’m wrong as I’m still learning about the fediverse, but the data in log files are not only for users within one instance, but due to federation, such (subset) data will also be in the log files of other Lemmy instances or services such as Mastodon if there is any interaction between them. Is that right? If so, is there any privacy or data policy around that as well?
