Well, that’s all I needed to know! Thanks for the share.

on EU’s new social media child protection rules to require all social media accounts to produce state ID - Leaked documents suggest that some existing accounts will also be subject to identification che… in c/technology@beehaw.org · 5d ago
Many half-assed ideas will never make a full-assed idea.
Between this and Wsocial, it is pretty clear that whoever is making IT decisions needs to be let go.
This is not Doctorow’s enshittification; this is an attempt at domesticating users into thinking it is a normal thing to upload your ID to random cloud servers or hand over your biometric data to use WhatsApp??? This isn’t protecting children. It is giving the social media giants permission to allow ads for things like gambling and line their pockets. If I worked in advertising, I’d be pretty happy.

on DSP clears Wolverine's motorcycle section without player input in c/games@lemmy.world · 5d ago
I see… This is another game about looking cool doing something (at least for this section).

Tough choice. And tagging things like [Self-Promo] or [Recommendation] will get annoying.

I saw the post. I believe the dev wrote the post, maybe with an LLM, or perhaps had an agent do it. We know agents are using Lemmy as a pastebin for some reason. I also think the game was made using AI.
Posting on Lemmy about games and loading them with postive sounding adjectives appears to be the sole purpose of these posts. I even saw one on the rather small shmups community which is specific.
I believe that the way the fediverse functions is seen as useful to bots/agents.
Making a post, loading it up with keywords, and providing a link to the project is better than any forum or even reddit. Once the post federates, it will create multiple free backlinks. Also, even if the post is deleted, the content will take time to delete across the fediverse. Other sites and users that use LLMs to write their reviews will find it and repeat the same slop. Slop cited in slop. Insloption. All free.
According to the SEO audits of my personal blog, the majority of my backlinks are from Lemmy instances.
How should a situation like these be handled in the future?
- let them post and deal with it the same way
- provide a template for self-promotion that must include an AI disclosure section
- have a “self-promotion day” during the week

on German police read Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp messages without breaking encryption in c/europe@feddit.org · 12 Sep 2026
That title, while true, makes it sound worse than it actually is, especially for Signal. As noted, by others, your message history doesn’t sync. Also, the desktop software isn’t that great.

on Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US in c/technology@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026
Cool. But, which repair centre has the contract for bricked phones. In Europe only one place has the vendor key thing if you fuck up while flashing the device, they won’t let users or other repair places have it so I assume it works the same in the US.
If I needed a new phone, I might get one of these. Repairable phones are cool.

Spoke too soon. Two spam calls this morning.

I’m very pleased and have been waiting years for this. The way I understand it is that they’re making marketing calls explicitly opt-in, and easy to opt-out of. The non-stop calls from marketing agents stopped on July 27 for me.
There was also another change about hidden numbers that happened not too long ago which reduced the number of calls by one or two per day.
There is a list of numbers depending on your region that were registered marketing numbers. I had a filter for those, but I don’t think I’ll need it anymore. Any number starting with 0162, 0163, 0270, 0271, 0377, 0378, 0424, 0425, 0568, 0569, 0948 or 0949 was spam so it was easy to filter.
The punishment will be interesting to see. There are plenty of ways to report spam. Back in 2007 they said the French would never stop smoking in public places, and they did and a few people got fined for testing what would happen. Same thing will happen with this.
Edit: it is $87,000 per call. Damn.
In a very good way!
