Ottawa moves to restrict social media for kids under 16 in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] 1 point 4 months ago

There's a clip in the CBC article linked in this post, the minister that tabled this bill was asked about age verification's effectiveness and kids getting around it in Australia.

The response was basically: Just because it doesn't work, doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.. It's a brain dead take.

    If only the people writing these bills were as sensible as you. Unfortunately these people believe age gating works. All it'll do is require more personal data to be tracked everywhere.

    According to the full text, there's no such consideration regarding "traditional" the only thing that I can see that qualifies a "social media" service as "regulated" is the number of users, and that's apparently TBD by some yet to be appointed council.

    Fediverse will be hard to enforce compliance, so I don't know what they'll do to try and force age gating on us.

    Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs (lemmy.ca)
     

    Hey y'all. I've been testing a bunch of Note taking solutions and nothing seems to check off what I want and need.

    I want a simple interface (both for list view and note editor/view), preferably similar to Google Keep, but a regular list is fine as well.

    Key features:

    A. being able to drag and drop re-order checkbox lists.

    e.g.

    • [ ] item 1
    • [ ] item 2
    • [x] item 4
    • [x] item 3

    I'd like to be able to just drag and drop the above to sort things correctly.

    B. E2EE at rest.

    C. CTRL+F inside the note view/edit!!

    Honestly, the only functionality I truly want is A. But most of the solutions I found are either proprietary or can't do it.

    Self hosted options I've tried:

    • Joplin (can't do A; UX is not great)
    • Standard notes (A + C is gated by their self hosted premium subscription; I don't mind paying for my apps, but the prices are ridiculous)
    • Silverbullet.md (can't do A)
    • Quillpad (very similar to Google Keep and can do A, but has terrible file syncing, not E2EE)

    Notesnook looks almost as insane as Standard Notes to self host (mimicing AWS stack locally is nuts). Has anyone tried Notesnook yet? I don't want to spend another afternoon setting something heavy up only to find that the feature I want is gated by a heavy $.

    Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

    EDIT: Woops! I am looking to use the notes app on both Android and Web/Desktop Linux. Preferably an open source solution.

    Ability to change pinned posts to compact style in card view (lemmy.ca)
     

    My instance has a bunch of pinned posts that stay pinned for a while... I typically use Card view which means those posts take up a lot of space!

    Would it be possible to make pinned posts all compact in card view?

    Or maybe letting us change between compact/card view for individual posts. Maybe that's a bit overkill tho. I really just want it for pinned posts 🥲🙏

    PS: Thunder is so awesome. The experimental unifiedpush (and the thunder server!) is an awesome addition ❤️
