Yes! This drives me crazy. I will sometimes go back and edit posts to add more info months later.
We have all been in a situation where we are looking for a very specific answer, and the answer only exists in one obscure forum from a decade ago that has the exact info we are looking for.
It’s hard enough to ensure lemmy’s long-term fidelity without people axing their own content.
Never heard of Scout or seen the logo, but that’s a big swirly poo, right? I’m not crazy, am I? This feels like being punked.
It’s most definitely a poo.
You forgot they called it Bing in the middle too
I believe that is correct as far as lemmy goes. The AP protocol is open by nature, but there may be a private implementation —I’m not sure.
There are several Discord-like projects, but I don’t think they are federated.
No, it’s a dolphin embryo
Wait, I knew about the potato, buy I didn’t know you can play doom on doom itself! How does that work?
On the other hand, this is how companies fall. In my area, many small businesses are foregoing Google entirely. SEO is expensive and complicated, and so are websites, map prominence, and most of the things Google sells. They’re not worth the investment.
Mostly, companies are shifting toward Meta products, so it’s not as though everything is hunky dory (want to know when that hip new boutique is open? Don’t bother with the web search, just look up their Instagram). There is a very real threat of collapse if Google keeps up the antics.
Exactly.
I see what you’re going for, but… No thanks.
Ah I see what happened here. We are talking about the same thing, but “postdate” means just the opposite. It’s setting a date in the future, not past. That would be “backdate.”
It’s not postdating. OP is talking about preserving dates from another platform, even if it means manually editing.

I feel like this is a “baby in the river” scenario. You know — after the third or fourth one, you should stop just diving in to save them and go look upstream to figure out who is throwing all the babies in!
We need to stop saying “wow, another person abused their position and inside knowledge to make money on polymarket.”
Of course they did. Polymarket is practically purpose-engineered to be abused by people with inside knowledge. It would be more shocking to discover that no one was abusing it. It’s basically a casino that lets you bring your own cards from home. I honestly don’t understand why it wasn’t shut down a long time ago.
Always a concern. They will eventually require a Walmart account I guess. I’ll have to remember to disable updates.
I got some cheap ONN boxes, Which seem like the best value for true Android TV devices. If you have the funds NVIDIA Shield TV is probably the way to go.
It’s possible to skip the Walmart account login at setup, but probably not possible to skip the Google account sign-in (let me know if you find a way!).
Setting up side-loading is trivial, although largely unnecessary. I loaded Stremio, Jellyfin, and a VPN for better streaming experience and control. I replaced the default home screen with Projectivy Launcher. You don’t need to go into ADB shell or anything like that. There are also other home screen launchers that fix the major problems with the default GoogleTV screen; Emotin UI (closed source), FLauncher (dormant), Leanback Launcher, ATV Launcher (closed-source).
There are lots of options for web browsing, File Explorer, on-device media, stores, etc. that are easily available.
Roku is another prime example of enshitification.
Now I have all my “smart” TVs disconnected, and I hooked up some inexpensive Android TV boxes (with a couple minor modifications). No more ads!
So a lot of the potential risk depends on the details. What language do they speak, what country are they traveling from, what particular political affiliations and activities they are part of, etc.
I’m not an expert, but feel free to DM me if you don’t want to share more info widely (although remember that direct messaging on lemmy is not secure or private).
They are primarily looking to catch troublemakers and drug traffickers. However, what may be considered a troublemaker is broad and unfair.
The connection to public organizations is really a political thing.
Unless the soccer club is known for radical political activity or violence, then they should be fine.
If coworker is politically active, member of communist / leftist party, or extremely outspoken online then they should take additional precautions.
They should also avoid any recreational drugs other than alcohol before coming, and review any medication carefully, as laws in Florida are strict.
As others have said, racial profiling is always possible, but extremely unlikely.
Also, IUDs are not particularly risky. That’s just bad marketing.
