Privacy@lemmy.ml•Russia orders state-backed Max messenger app to be pre-installed on new phonesEnglish
42·6 months agoOh, no, Russian government ends up leaking each and every piece of information it has for 50 rubles per person through sheer incompetence. So, you are both flying out the window and getting your data sold.

How would one go about using that sink?
Yea, knowing another Slavic language definitely makes it easier, with Polish, at least you don’t have to learn how to pronounce Ы from scratch. But one being west language and the other being east can also screw you over, because many things are similar, but not quite.
Be careful not to speak only with Ukranians, they, of course, have their quirks in speaking, like using soft Г which is prevalent in Ukranian, but never used in Russian and using за instead of про in some places, for “to speak about Russian language” they would say “говорить за русский язык” instead of “говорить про русский язык”. Of course, unless you are ok with picking up these quirks.
Props for trying your hand at Russian. Being a native speaker, only about a year ago did I realize how ridiculously complex the language is. From phonetics, to high context dependence, to word building and conjugation, I commend people who are tackling this abomination.

3·1 year agoThat’s some good data! I’m mostly interested in filtering by Linux support and latency/accuracy measurements. Some of them are very helpful, thank you!
People who promote crypto are usually scammers (they also usually promote their own currency), but in general it’s a very useful tool. Considering you have to give up an arm and a leg to use SWIFT nowadays, crypto offers a fast and cheap way to pay someone across the border. The price is that you need to know a thing or two about the technology, else you’ll pay the same or even more than with traditional methods.
They are probably just using your IP address to determine the location. That will show the location of your ISP, not your location. That’s not much more info than any other server gets when you are connecting to it. Also does not require Mozilla to send any geolocation data.
Yea, I know. Fucked up my wording a bit while trying to explain why I’m using the app.
Offline capabilities is the killer feature for me. I don’t have much bandwidth on my mobile data plan, being able to access maps without internet connection is incredibly good.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Alternative to Google Maps for sharingEnglish
15·2 years agoYou can just share links to maps, OpenStreetMaps has a bunch of different mobile apps, for example, Organic Maps is a good one. Links to OSM look like this: https://osm.org/go/zrfyVQn8--?node=164979149
Because it’s based on OSM that anyone can commit changes to, it sometimes has areas mapped that Google maps don’t. On my last skiing trip made everyone install it, because Google maps just didn’t have a proper map of the resort we were staying in. Also works offline, very convenient when you only have broadband internet in the hotel.
Maybe because it alters your maximized resolution, which makes you easier to identify? But that sounds like a bit of a stretch to me.
While Apple’s products indeed are a bit less than compatible with privacy, it does not mean the owner of such products can’t care about it. Maybe they just recenty got into it, or have to use their products for some Apple-only feature that is essential for them.

If you want to try a simpler MOBA, try Heroes of the Storm. The game does not get any love from Blizzard anymore, but out of all the MOBA’s I know, it has the least minimal knowledge required to play.

Yes. Niri is my choice, too. Very convenient, especially when using a laptop with limited screen space as I do.
