greyivy··on OnlyFans to block sexually explicit videos starting in October
Considering thousands and thousands of people will lose their only source of income, this is far from "sweet". Please stay far away from the industry if you lack such basic empathy.
greyivy··on You don’t need to work on hard problems (2020)
As someone founding an early-stage startup, I really appreciate hearing your thoughts on this and it's very encouraging to know I'm not alone.
greyivy··on Canada's awful new proposals on “harmful” content
> This discrimination is sticky, because SESTA caused the shuttering of forums where sex workers advocated for their rights. The more marginalised the speaker, the worst it is – which is why the most heavily impacted group is trans women of colour.

This can't be understated. Who are these bills benefiting at the end of the day? Because the most marginalized people in my life — and those who are most often the targets of hate speech — are being pushed even further to the margins by legislation like this.

greyivy··on The pain and anguish of using IndexedDB: problems, bugs and oddities
I'm very much over having to deal with IndexDB. Is there any viable alternative that doesn't require a huge dependency?
greyivy··on Elementary OS 6 Odin
Congrats Elementary team! The focus on accessibility and inclusivity (gender neutral iconography too!) is awesome! Not a fan of Debian-based distros, but still tempted to take it for a spin.
greyivy··on The California tourist town that’s running out of water: ‘It’s a shock’
I'm disappointed to see this answer so far down considering how often the almond milk myth is busted. Animal agriculture uses significantly more water than what else was mentioned in this thread. https://www.truthordrought.com/almond-milk-myths
greyivy··on A cocktail of pesticides, parasites and hunger leaves bees down and out
The Quillette itself has quite the reputation of being an untrustworthy source. The article may be well cited, but I'd caution anyone reading this to think critically and do your own research (on the topic and The Quillette).
greyivy··on Tell HN: Protonmail is no longer private, sharing user info with US authorities
They must have changed it recently. That's good to hear.
greyivy··on Tell HN: Protonmail is no longer private, sharing user info with US authorities
And ReCaptcha to verify accounts on a "private" service? Really?
greyivy··on A Fun List of Browsers
Myself as well. I'm almost certain I've seen those toolbar icons in an early Firefox theme.
greyivy··on A Fun List of Browsers
I remember using this years ago on DamnSmallLinux. Thanks for the nostalgia!
greyivy··on Home Assistant iOS app adds local push notification support
I've been using the signal-cli add-on for this with a lot of success. I can add attachments, have the notifications show up on all my devices, and share a group with my partner so we both get the same notifications. All end-to-end encrypted.
