Some things that come to mind:
- avoid uploading long videos to your instance
- Host your own videos on Vimeo or the Internet Archive
- Alternatively join or host a PeerTube instance
- avoid sharing YouTube links, as YouTube videos always track viewers across websites
- TikTok also collects lots of data
- If you want to link to a video on YouTube, use an Invidious instance as a relay: https://invidious.io/
So, will depend on concern for data usage, stream efficiency, but also privacy.
Thank you 😊 I don't want to spend too much time policing but I mention it when I see it. That specific share of the cropped image seems to have gotten a lot of traction. And they could have found it like that somewhere else.
But the lack of acknowledgement of finding it anywhere is always a red flag for me.
@onepict Definitely. I don't want to spend too much time policing but I mention it when I see it. That specific share of the cropped image seems to have gotten a lot of traction. And they could have found it like that somewhere else.

@onepict No worries, it's impossible to know unless you've seen my post first. Thank you 🙏
⚠️ Cookie popups
@maloki 😝 Hence the trust issues. But I guess I could also set up a cloud browser on another computer that is still mine.
Damn, this is a rabbit hole.
⚠️ Cookie popups
@maloki e.g. None of the info about your computer could be tracked, and any executable code never reaches your computer.
Obviously can never get around that there are still trust issues with providers... 😬

⚠️ Cookie popups
@maloki Haha! But you're absolutely right. I will be careful to not mention browsers and have it seem like a recommendation. Feel like I need to write a blog post now as a sort of disclaimer to be able to refer to.
Only cloud browsers really have the potential of offering privacy it would seem.
⚠️ Cookie popups
@maloki Yeah, it's really hard. I know Mozilla takes a lot of money from Google for making it the default search engine, so there's that...

⚠️ Cookie popups
@maloki Thanks :) 🙏 Is there a browser that is OS-independent that you think is worth recommending?
@Hilaryonline Starting up with a new #a11y project on Monday with a new client. What's become obvious is how nervous they've been about doing the wrong thing, so they've done nothing rather than something...
It's also as if they don't want to be caught out with how they've ignored it for a long time, which hiring someone to help them would expose. And time just goes by. Finally someone comes in and wants to do something. They got a new manager recently.
@Hilaryonline Frustrating to hear. But onwards we march. Hopefully it's one step back and two forward.
⚠️ moving Mastodon servers?
@ubiquity75 Deleted and fixed a small thing in my toot so your reply lost its hook to my post, hehe.
But exactly yeah. I have another account where I mostly chit-chat with Swedish people. :)
⚠️ moving Mastodon servers?
You lose posts, but they stay at their permalinks unless you delete the account completely. There will be a notice and link to your new account. You can download an archive of your posts for safekeeping.
Follows carry over through export/import. Will also force followers to unfollow the old account and follow the new one (if their software supports it). There is a limit to how often you can migrate to another instance.

⚠️ Helping activists, dissidents & journalists migrate to Mastodon
@maloki Take care. Thank you. 🙏
⚠️ Helping activists, dissidents & journalists migrate to Mastodon
I believe @maloki may know.
The question is where someone could learn more about what to consider when joining the fediverse, if you are a person at risk of being targeted by state actors and other threats.
This is one starter resource by @feditips :
We likely need more insights like this:
- One e-mail pollutes 10g of CO2 each year (Cleanfox)
- One text message is less polluting, it emits 0,0014g of CO2 per message (NPR). But when you consider all of the text messages send each minute in the World, the carbon footprint is 16 800g of CO2 per minute
- A search on the web emits between 7g and 15g of CO2

@Janne Tack snälla. Ingen skugga över dig på något sätt. Uppenbart så kreddade du ju det som du trodde var källan.
Men jag är alltid skeptisk till inlägg där ingen källa återges. Typ "jag hittade den här".
Ja, men var? 😂
Det gick så oerhört snabbt för den här bilden att få egna fötter vilket förvånade mig lite.
@countstex Yup, that would make a lot of sense. Even setting an upload limit size for yourself would be interesting. Just to get a warning and become more aware.
