Oh that’s what I was remembering! Aunt Irma

Drip seems to be the leading recommendation. I’ve edited the post with it so people seeing the meme also get the recommendation :)

We should definitely be telling more people about F-Droid, but let’s not get our hopes up

Accessibility (not being on FDroid only) was one of the things I was looking for when looking for recommendations. Thankfully the leading recommendation is on Google Play & iOS App Store :) I have edited the post above with more details

If you are using any Synology products with your setup, you should go ahead and apply the recommended updates

Dear men I need you to go download an app called “Flo” and start using it chaotically. Don’t ask anyone how to use it. Just use it. The more, the better. Let’s Christmas tree that data.

As a software developer who loves to screw the data and a person who will do ANYTHING can to protect women for the next 4 years, I am so excited to begin tracking my manstrual cycle

As for voting under duress, it’s also a concern with mail in ballots and voting by phone. It can be worse with online in the same way that scams are easier online.

I know someone who voted by phone this recent election in my home province, and they were eligible to do so because of sudden health issues. The phone call included multiple people who verified their information, took down the vote, and then verified the vote. I imagine something would get flagged if there was any discrepancy.

I’d also like to link to this Tom Scott video

Why Electronic Voting Is Still A Bad Idea: https://youtube.com/watch?v=LkH2r-sNjQs

The strongest argument for me: trust

Even with our paper ballots, hand counting, and many checks along the way, people now have doubts about the accuracy of the results. No matter how good the tech is, it will be impossible to convince the general public that the online votes are accurate.

I would like to celebrate it as a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth

It actually worked for me, thank you for finding that!

Good note, I didn’t notice that in the original post. I edited the title

Huh

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/motel

Blend of motor +‎ hotel, from the original Motel Inn of San Luis Obispo in California, USA, established in 1925 by Arthur Heineman (1878–1974).

While looking for a term to describe the original post, and came across this. I’m going to make a separate post about it

Oh this would be amazing, I was using a third party site.

Would it be possible to get a similar one for the dearrowed version? That was a complaint I got once but didn’t have an easy a solution for: https://lemmy.ca/post/31890393

One option that I’ve heard of in the past

ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view websites offline.

Honestly that might be more helpful.

I sometimes see the overwritten reddit comments when searching for a topic, and I wish that the comment would link to the person’s new account (wherever they may be) in addition to the usual blurb on whg they aren’t active on reddit anymore

I’m not sure if this counts, but I’ve enjoyed some pieces from The Conversation. They’re detailed and written by someone who has experience in the subject

Thanks :)

Research and organized information on a topic, however obvious it might be, is an important step towards policy changes. We also see those changes from time to time, for example some recent EU decisions

I wonder what happens if a comment is deleted

The article also linked to this Mastodon post where someone has been sharing their findings

One potential concern is

the fact that Redbox machines contain a file that has “a complete list of titles ever rented, and the email addresses of the people who rented them, and where and when.” She also found that the first six and last four digits of credit card information was logged. She said that the records on the particular unit that she was looking at contained 2,471 different transactions and had records on it dating back to 2015.
