Was going to post this as a comment on this topic (and there's others too) but this might serve better as its own topic.
Now that Youtube videos posted will display the channel name where the domain would normally go, should we keep including channel names in the topic title?
From the description:
Additional Vocals by: Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Halsey, Zac Brown, Brendon Urie, Hailee Steinfeld, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Kevin Hart, Adam Levine, Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, SIA, Miley Cyrus, Lil Jon, Rita Ora, Miguel, Katy Perry, Lil Yachty, Ed Sheeran, Meghan Trainor, Joel Embiid, Tory Lanez, John Legend, Backstreet Boys, Bad Bunny, Psy, Kris Wu
The Exemplary labels were recently hidden:
Lately there have been multiple "exemplary fights", where people are
using the Exemplary label to highlight and boost comments that they
especially agree with, even if the comments themselves aren't especially
good.
I think the prominence of the Exemplary badge and the count of how many
Exemplary labels a comment has received are contributing to this. This
was only made visible somewhat recently (9b64d22d), so I'm going to try
removing it again now. There should probably be a page added to Docs
explaining the different "stripe" colors, since the Exemplary stripe is
now unexplained and not obvious.
No. If you're using activity sort every time a topic receives a new comment it will be bumped to the top. Also depending on the period you selected, only topics from that period will show up.
If you'd like to control it somewhat, you can filter out specific tags.
There's no third-party stuff or tracking. You can also see what Tildes does collect in the privacy policy.
Edit: btw, any topic or article posted on Tildes is submitted by another human. So "a healthy variety of sources" is fully dependent on the demographic.
What about /g/? They are groups after all. We already have @Bauke and /u/Bauke ways of mentioning people. ~tildes and /g/tildes would make sense.
They made it so anyone can, and even say so:
Mastodon has done all this right, starting in Mastodon version 2.8. And now anyone else can, too.
They also made an integration guide to explain how you could implement it into any other site so we could even get it on Tildes. Deimos made an issue about integrating it which I hope gets added.
Yeah it makes sense that the tags overflow, the topic metadata also has a max height of 4rem so eventually the tags will just get cut off.
Yeah, I've looked around for Webkit and iOS changes in 12.2 but haven't found anything that could be related to this.
And I unfortunately can't test it thoroughly because I can't access Tildes locally on my phone: https://gitlab.com/tildes/tildes/issues/419
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines "privacy" as:
a. the quality or state of being apart from company or observation
b. freedom from unauthorized intrusion
and the "right to privacy" as:
the right of a person to be free from intrusion into or publicity concerning matters of a personal nature
As it stands right now, the vast majority of data collection is done without explicit authorization. And sometimes even when explicitly disabling the supposed collection. This is literally antithetical to the definition of privacy and the right to privacy.
Then, Edward Snowden said it best:
The way rights work is, the government has to justify its intrusion into your rights.
And I think it's safe to say that that doesn't just apply to governments anymore.
Using the internet in the current day and age with all the tracking and collecting is no different than just telling someone what you did and looked at every second of the day. Other people in the topic have already said it better but there's no such thing as anonymous or non-personally identifiable information once you get a big enough scope. I shouldn't have to go through the effort of getting rid of the tracking, the company wanting to track me should go through the effort of letting me decide.
The problem with using hover as a mechanic to display information is that it isn't obvious nor accessible.
When using a link for it, expectations are that when you click on it you go somewhere. Which when using [text](# more text) the link will become https://tildes.net/<topic info>#, taking you to the top of the page.
On mobile you can't hover so it'll be inaccessible to a lot of people.
I moved away from using LastPass as my password manager for a few reasons. The biggest ones being required to install a binary to get password copying to work and just not being comfortable with using it anymore since there's better alternatives out there now. I've had trouble sometimes with logging in while using a VPN. They require you to enable a country to login from via email and that also became a hassle, while I do like that feature it's a pain sometimes.
As for LastPass Authenticator, no particular reason. I guess because they're from the same company the doubts I'm having from the password manager carry over, so I'd like to see what the alternatives are and decide then.
Thanks, I'll check out Authy.
I've been adding the secrets to my Bitwarden logins when making new accounts (while also adding it to my current authenticator), however I don't want to rely on Bitwarden for 2FA because if I get logged out everywhere from Bitwarden (phone, browser, ...) then I won't have access to anything. And that's not good. :P
