  • Gibson was correct about much of our education system and Galileo was certainly right about the consequences of overvaluing mediocre wit that merely happened to well-timed. what neither of them had to content with, however, was the internet and how social media can combine the inability to reason critically and mediocre wit with crippling insecurities and anti-social personalities to what should be predictable results.

    a least Gibson understood that a technocratic future didn’t imply that people’s lives would necessarily improve.








  • As someone running a TestFlight beta, I can tell you: that’s not true. TF captures the AppleID used to sign up and how many times the app is opened and crashed, but, unless you set the app to collect other personal details (major red flag), the only other thing a Lemmy client should store is login details and app preferences.

    Are you saying that your Lemmy client is mining personal data from users phones? Why in the world would you do that?

    Edit: TF betas can also be configured for signups via a link, so that users emails are not captured by TF, and AppStore Connect only registers the users as “Anonymous”. This is how we do it. The only user emails we capture are those in our internal test group— the developers themselves.

    I’m pretty sure that was an option, not default, but almost everyone would select the option. it was also an option (which is selected by default) to mark posts as read when you vote on them.

    edit: I’m wrong-- originally it was like that. years ago, they changed the default so both are selected.

    nonetheless, I would love the option to ‘hide read posts’ and ‘mark posts as read when voting’.
