PPS Is The Hottest USB-C Feature You Didn’t Know About in c/[email protected]

"...PPS stands for Programmable Power Supply. It’s a method by which a USB-C device can request variable voltage and current delivery on demand..."

*HOW* can we coax search-engines in to being able to do the simple "lemmy" + "search word" thing..? in c/[email protected]

I hadn't noticed that until now. Thanks!

This would be a great Kagi lens (https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/lenses.html ), perhaps for the Fediverse generally, rather than just for Lemmy. They already have one for Reddit, as well as a 'small web' one focused on small sites and non-commercial material.

character.ai does not actually delete any accounts. If you try to do it, you lose the access to the account, but the account is still stored in the site in c/[email protected]

In the absence of a US federal privacy law akin to the GPDR, many states have enacted laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) which grant varying rights to state residents, including the right to data deletion in some cases. Bloomberg Law has a helpful primer: https://pro.bloomberglaw.com/insights/privacy/state-privacy-legislation-tracker/#states-with-comprehensive-data-privacy-laws

Shifting to Decentralized Data Storage: The Key to Better Data Security and Privacy - Cybersecurity Insiders in c/cybersecurity

Well put. Since we've co-opted this comment section with meta-commentary, I'll also say that since LLMs came on the scene, I feel as if my sixth sense for AI text slop has become very refined; I can usually identify generative text within a few sentences, and stop reading.

Any fonts like Iosevka that let you customize every character? in c/[email protected]

Thank you!

Wow, how does that work? Does the font selector program generate a custom font file which gets deployed on each system? How does this work with printers?

I am at risk of becoming Lemmy's resident curmudgeon with my protestations against clickbait headlines, and now a distaste for lazy and unappealing generative AI images in articles, which disincentivize reading the material. Not the poster's fault, of course.

I have advice to offer on this topic, but it doesn't seem to be worth posting in response to a bot cross-post from Reddit. Has there been any contemplation of a Lemmy bot that would message a subreddit to advise of activity in a corresponding Lemmy community?

Looking to start self hosting by going through Louis Rossman's recently released guide. Any pointers for a newbie are most welcome. in c/[email protected]

I subscribed. Happy to support another homelab / self host community!

Disappearing message notification / message app freeze (self.apple_enthusiast)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/33588339

I received a text notification from an unknown number earlier today. I'm usually suspicious of such things, but clicked the notification. The messages app loaded, but displayed a blank white screen until I closed the app. After doing so, there was no evidence of the message notification or the message itself, in any of the message categories (known, unknown, all, deleted messages, etc).

This is on an iPhone 14 Pro Max using a fully up to date device running iOS 18.3.1 .

Has anyone else experienced this? I am hoping that the group might be able to offer insight into whether this is a bug worth reporting to Apple, or an attack of some sort? I am aware that at least one zero-click messaging bug was recently patched in iOS. I rebooted my device, and I'm waiting for the security delay to expire so I can reset my iCloud password. I have 2FA and stolen device protection switched on.

(please disregard link to example.com ; my Lemmy client wouldn't allow a text-only post without an image or a link).

Eternal September (en.m.wikipedia.org)
 

Eternal September or the September that never ended was a cultural phenomenon during a period beginning around late 1993 and early 1994, when Internet Service Providers began offering Usenet access to many new users.
