Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 30th
  • Final Fantasy XVI. Much more gritty than the others. Just as much angst. Still, I’m enjoying it.

  • The excellent Arc browser is now available for anyone to download
  • From what I gather, while they track feature usage, they claim they won't track your sites. They still won't help protect your privacy from other apps, companies, and pages.

  • What's the stupidest rule your school ever enforced?
  • I went to a private religious school and they made a rule that there couldn’t be any PDA (public displays of affection) between opposite sexes. And they ruled that pretty well with an iron fist.

    So we took that in the opposite direction, and I don’t think the administration ever saw so much guy on guy slapping of butts, “Hey bigais”, or pecks on the cheek in their lives.

  • US FOSSY 2023 in July 13-16th 2023 — Portland, OR [on-site, no online conference]
  • Is there a new concern around another wave of COVID in the Portland area or from travelers? I haven’t seen a masks required event like this since last year. Not knocking it, just surprising to me from what I’ve seen in the last few months with the CDC removing masking requirements from their guidelines and even hospitals dropping the requirement.

  • What are your favourite analogies for explaining difficult or complex concepts?
  • DNS is the phonebook of the internet and other networks.

  • Deleted

  • Hadn’t heard of Bilmuri before. Thanks for mentioning them.

  • What advice do you have to share with the random folks of lemmy?
  • Be warry of advice given by strangers.

  • Sketchy DJI Android App
  • Regardless of company size or popularity, that is sketchy. While not perfect by any means , google play affords some security scanning and privacy awareness info on apps that are published there. Others are probably right. And I bet DJI probably wanted to skip that step to trade for ease of management. But any time you install something off a non play store repo you take on a little extra risk.
