Fediverse

@michael This feature was intended for servers run by public institutions, where it would not be possible for a recipient to create an account on that server.

The new Maps 3D flyover is *seriously* impressive (judging from SF at least). 🤯

Just add little tiny animations of people, cars, trains, etc. and this would be the coolest real-world version of SimCity ever.

@josh I can still use the old one, yes. Same voice and everything.

@galooph It was a cracking day!

Interesting…so, at least for now, if I don't opt-into the "new Siri" I can keep using what I had before (with perhaps a slightly refined UI).

Which is exactly what I want because it'll be a cold day in hell before I touch *anything* built on top of Google LLMs. 😂

Cât de mult contează să-ți limpezești gândurile pentru o viață mai fericită - Limpezirea gândurilor deschide calea către o viață mai fericită. O minte ordonată reduce anxietatea și confuzia, permițându-ți să vezi oportunitățile și bucuriile simple. Claritatea mentală aduce pace interioară, iar pacea interioară este fundamentul fericirii autentice și durabile.

Hello @soulsource, the DSA introduced transparency requirements for advertising, making sure ads are clearly labelled as such and include information on who is placing them and why you are seeing them. It also prohibits platforms from showing you ads based on sensitive data, such as data on sexual orientation, religion or race, and introduces a complete ban on showing targeted advertising to children.

@lianna

I've just been playing around with it, you can remove yourself from specific Collections even if you allow Collections in general. (EDIT: And you get a notification every time someone adds you to a Collection.)

Also, if you block an account it cannot add you to a Collection at all. Accounts on servers that have been defederated by your server cannot add you either.

Hello @RoBo2, with the DSA your digital rights include having control over what you see. For example, you can choose a feed on Facebook or Instagram based on the algorithm’s suggestions or other criteria such as chronological order. More info here: https://link.europa.eu/gbRf9h

@davatron5000 Oh yeah 🥰

Could also toss in the term "code minimalism" perhaps

@lianna

Yup, exactly!

EDIT: Also, if you're allowing Collections in general but don't want to be in a particular Collection, you can remove yourself from it.

@lianna

It's controlled by whether you've ticked the "Feature me in discovery experiences" box in Preferences > Privacy & Reach

You can only be added to Collections if you have ticked this box.

This option has been there for years relating to other discovery features such as suggesting accounts to follow, and now it includes Collections.
