I was trying to explain to an elderly friend that people don’t just phone other people now and certainly not at times they will be doing something.

She found it hard to accept that many people find it rude to be called unannounced.

As an example, at one time if someone was organising a social event (eg party) they would phone around to invite people.

But that’s incredibly rude you are imposing on someone and also asking them to decide or excuse themselves on the spot.

I think you’ve missed the point. It’s not the data they are collecting but the fact they say they don’t collect data.

I can see two issues here:

It’s not really a storageless computer. It’s using EFI as storage to build the ramdisk.

What happens if you need to change things because of a change of cloud account, change of cloud API etc etc

Not sure I agree entirely. The actions I take are definitely data about me.

Also, in many jurisdictions data that could be combined (even in the future) with other data to identify you or something about you, is considered personal data.

For example, Device ID is AstridWipenaugh’s device and they use the app in the morning.

That may well be true, but sounds like general exposition. I should point out that I’m not requesting a detailed roadmap and I don’t think anyone requested communication every step of the way.

The initial announcement made it sound like launch was imminent. That was months ago and so I imagined (perhaps foolishly) there would be some sort of update posted and hoped it would be in plain English.

Edit: In fact at the time of the launch jgrim said to stay tuned for regular updates!

Thank you.

Possibly add an update on the announcement post(that promised regular updates)?

I’m not sure that Sublinks will happen. It was breathlessly announced as if it was coming soon with the promise of regular updates. But here we are eleven months later with no updates at all.

To me it’s just seems like Lemmy and the Threadiverse are slowly evaporating.

Phones encrypt the data by default, your password or pin is also needed to authorise the connection with a computer.

However, many people do insecure things like storing passwords etc in Notes applications, or having simple PINs that are easy to guess, don’t update their devices, or even turning off security features (if they can) because they won’t take a small amount of time to understand them.

They weren’t actually tiny, they were about a metre long. But they do seem out of proportion.

They were very muscular and ended in very sharp talons, so pretty deadly.

Thank you for trying to help, I don’t know what 80% of that means or how it relates to an update.

I just don’t understand why there isn’t a simple straightforward update in plain English
