Android@lemdro.id•SmartTube’s official APK was compromised with malware — What you should do if you use itEnglish
13·6 days agoFrom the comments of the article
Deleting it and re-installing from the new uncompromised release is not a big deal, but having to go and factory reset all one’s streaming devices and re-configure them from scratch is rather time consuming (I have several).
In yuliskov’s github announcement, he doesn’t come across as this being particularly urgent, and is NOT making statements like “reset all your devices, change all your streaming account passwords”. He just said going forward there won’t be updates and it will have to be re-installed from the new tree.
It seems at this point for most people, if google and amazon haven’t uninstalled it and you are not running 30.43 or 30.47, then keep using it, and when the new version is released, remove the old one and install the new one.
Factory resetting is likely overkill. Android apps are, theoretically, sandboxed, so they shouldn’t be able to affect the system or other apps. Uninstalling the infected app should be enough to clean up, but a factory reset is a guaranteed way, which is why I mention it.

I haven’t tried Plausible, but it seemed popular

Technology@beehaw.org•Mastodon CEO steps down with €1M payout and a deep sighEnglish
14·18 days agoThe articles I’ve seen say that it was for the past 10 years of work, some amount of which was unpaid
https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/18/mastodon-ceo-steps-down-as-the-social-network-restructures/
With the revamp, Mastodon has the potential to expand its business, product, and mission, without being dependent on a single person’s leadership. It will also give Rochko a break, as he’s been singularly focused on Mastodon for the past 10 years.
Going forward, Rochko will continue contributing to Mastodon as an adviser. He has also been compensated with a one-time payment of €1 million, given that he took less than a fair market salary over the years while building Mastodon.
I don’t have insight into the decision making process that went into deciding on that amount, maybe it’s less than what he should have been compensated for, maybe it’s more. But it sounds like they reached that decision amicably

Fediverse memes@feddit.uk•Fediverse instances that don't use Cloudflare, during the outageEnglish
13·19 days agoGood point, I didn’t see the list of which instances were still up when making the meme. A number of fairly large instances were still up
It might be cool to put together a list of what each instance depends on, for reference during future outages. CloudFlare, hosting providers, etc.
Going to crosspost this to !steamedhams@lemmy.ca

Privacy@lemmy.ml•As usual, the Israelis let the cat out of the bag because they think we can't translate thingsEnglish
23·24 days agoWhy post something in the first place then?
The other user asked you for more context because they want to understand/ learn from what you’ve shared.
Your post is missing context.
If anyone is curious about the actual experiment

1·25 days agoLooks good!
I have one suggestion, the white text on bright green on the website is hard to read. Maybe you can pick different colors, or put borders around the characters.

Android@lemdro.id•Tablet market stalls because there’s not much new to buyEnglish
10·25 days agoFor the people around me, the only people using tablets are students. It’s actually very helpful for note taking and I don’t think there are any good alternatives to the iPad unfortunately.
2in1 laptops aren’t that useful when you need to both type and draw/write

cats@lemmy.world•I think I'm suddenly very allergic to my cat maybe? What gives????English
9·25 days agoHas the cat’s diet changed at all? My understanding is that the allergy has to do with a protein that some cats produce, and it ends up on their fur through the saliva. Certain diets can reduce or eliminate the protein.
I don’t have any brands to recommend, but here is the study if it gives you something to go off of
Maybe they had trouble hitting that atom, and decided to surround with many other U-235 atom before trying the split

Yes
Looks cool! I like the first one 😄
I think it would be helpful if people (who are knowledgeable about the topic) can link to sources about why a post is wrong/misinformation. The mod is more likely to act on the report if they can quickly verify the content.
I say this as an admin that can see the reports go by, but it often isn’t my place to take action since the report is about something that the community moderators would need to decide on.
I found this post because someone reported it as “lies”. If I was a mod in this community, I would need to hunt through the comment chains to figure out what the problem is, and right now there is only one or two comments explaining the problem. For this specific post, the mod could also look up the quote, find matching photos, and verify that the other monument hasn’t been torn down recently. However, it’s not always that easy.
It would also be good for users to delete their own posts when something is wrong, or at the very least to edit the title with added context.
lol I saw one for copilot which was along the lines of
“Which sweater should I wear today, red or blue”
“I can’t answer that, what are you going for”
“Hot”
“Pick red because it will make a bold statement”

I have Jellyfin, but I haven’t tried it with music. How does it compare to Navidrome?
For chat, I was thinking something super simple for the weird situations like this. Alternatively, Briar if you’re near the person you want to contact
It makes me wish I was selfhosting more services, music & chat in particular. It wasn’t important enough to set up yet
