Is the user aware that the data they synchronize to their car, a machine that they own, is sold by the car manufacturer to advertisers? Do they explicitly agree to the selling of their data, when selecting what connectivity they want?
Can you blame the user for making a choice, when they’re not told the consequences of that choice?
It should also be noted that the post will only appear on that kbin instance, and no other instances.
I’m not sure I’d classify it as a bug. Instances can temporarily go down at any moment for numerous reasons, to account for this instances will keep retrying to connect with an exponential backoff. At what point should an instance assume that another instance is permanently gone?
Perhaps a good start would be adding a status indicator to every community with something like last sync: 1 minute ago.
You can see that an instance/community is gone by visiting the instance directly. In this case at https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/imaginarymechas (which obviously won’t work now, as it’s gone).
Whenever you submit a post to a community, first your own instance saves the post locally, then sends it to the instance hosting the community, this instance then sends it to any other instance with users subscribed to the community. When the hosting instance is down, then that step of course fails, resulting in the post being only visible to members of your own instance.
Mattermost, it might not be the best feature-wise, but it’s open source, and a university can host it’s own server with SSO
This is just an educated guess, but could it possibly mean that it couldn’t create your post?
To add on to this, if you’re using some random RAM stick picked out of the gutter, then it might be worth it to run memtest86+. Bad RAM sectors can give some weird unpredictable issues.
Yes, but windows is an entire operating system, with an antivirus included
Still, who pays 419$ for an antivirus?
On most, if not all, modern Android phones you can just unlock the bootloader from the dev menu. No rooting required.
They sold a physical switch hacking device
This is probably it, the instance they’re communicating with has only 5 instances in their allowlist (look at the bottom of this page).
As that is the instance they’re posting this from, they probably won’t see my comment.
Instance admins can limit the languages available to their users, they might not be fully aware how this setting impacts their multilingual users. I recommend you contact them to change this.
Is the remaining post you’re seeing about long covid? Check your account language settings, that’s the only post without a language assigned to it.
Why is this mildly infuriating exactly?
They claim to reach being fully backed within 23 minutes. Yeah, no shit if you set the goal as low as £10000.
They also artificially keep the super early bird remaining stock low to pressure backers into a snap decision. When I checked there were 7 out of 2310 left. That number will probably increase once it actually runs out.
A rooted phone is definitely a bigger security risk if you don’t know what you’re doing, as anything with root access is unbounded by the usual android permission system, and can completely demolish your OS. Additionally it can serve as a big warning if someone else has tampered with your device.
A difference in timezone settings could still be relevant in what causes the bug.
Is the time on your instance and on your PC at correctly? And is there a difference in timezones configured on your instance and pc? 60 minutes seems a bit too specific to not be timezone related.
Maybe I’m too European to understand your point, but my phone selling my call and message history would be just as outrageous.
