Blaming parents is an individualistic solution to a systemic problem

A system made up of individual people....

No one EVER wants to take personal responsibility. God forbid a parent actually parent and not just hand their child's mind over to the state.

Timmy - Can I have meta glasses / mindrape myself with brainrot?

Parent - No.

Problem solved over night.

Shifting all of the onus onto the "mysterious system" is exactly what causes these issues in the first place. Its a cop out 100%. "Well I know I didnt even try but but but the system."

Change happens when individuals nut up and take things into their own hands.

The parents are shitty parents and will continue to be so as long as people keep hand-waving any and all responsibility.

Yes but there has been a cultural and technical shift on the internet. Your average AOL user was not out running witch hunts against people they ideologically oppose, you couldnt mass blast your shitter post to your 5m followers and change public opinion over night, You were not linked by your real name to your employer, your ssn address etc was not leaked 5x to sunday.

The landscape has changed "at this point".

The biggest issue besides the llm is

a tool to download a user’s public posting history through the lemmy API

I think this needs to be very clearly explained to users in general. In the name of public education.

Your posting history is public, and can and will be used against you. At this point in time, anything posted on the internet is essentially permanent public history. It's in a database somewhere that can be leaked or scraped.

This is not a lemmy or dbzer0 problem.

The collective amnesia is unreal. Did we all just forget about prism? No US tech company can be trusted with your data at any level. By law they have to have backdoors or be shutdown, and can legally lie to you.

who controls the keys / where are the keys?

Users will know that a conversation is end-to-end encrypted when they see a new lock icon

😂 imagine trusting an emoji

I need to add booking to my website. I stumbled upon cal.com which seemed great. However I've run into 2 issues.

My current options for calendars are Protonmail and cpanel/webmail/roundcube.

cal.com doesn't really work with either of these. For proton its mostly on proton's side, their calendars are read-only externally + a bit buggy: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/issues/5756

Roundcube uses caldav, and cal.com's support is still in beta with most caldev's being unsupported: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/issues/3457

Roundcube got me the farthest but the booking emails just don't get sent and the calendar event pops up maybe an hour later + there's 75% the booking just doesn't work. I was told this was the calendars fault 😂.

SO

Are there any selfhosted calendar implementations that support ics feed, external viewing ,etc etc that I can throw on a standard webserver?

Or are there any better foss booking systems?

I just need to book clients and connect it back to a working calendar that's not locked to a desktop. I thought this would be a solved problem in 2026...

I'm not trying to pay for yet ANOTHER software on top of business mail, and a webserver.

Thanks.

The biggest way you can help is to TAKE ACTION. Get the ball rolling. Regardless what you think the solution is. Take action to make it happen. Don't wait on "someone else" will do it. If you don't have the skills or know how. Reach out to someone who does, keep the ball rolling

exactly that's why actions speak louder in these cases.

Lets not act like this is an impossible task.

There is a process and actually multiple ways to accomplish this. Looking into, we might not even need to fork android, but just support existing alternatives.

I would think the first step is to fork the Android Open Source Project. use that as a base, start cutting out any links to google, fill in the gaps, etc. This is obviously not my realm of expertise but there is a path.

"170,000 tech workers lost their jobs in the U.S. in the 18 months prior to mid-2025"

Don't tell me we can't scrape together a team of experts and make this happen. Yes there will be barriers and push-back, but its either this or we just keep deepthroating google.

With the upcoming changes to how Google handle's app verification, the future of the android ecosystem looks pretty grim.

While there are calls to petition and protest, it is long past time to take our phones out of the hands of google and into the community.

With the mass tech layoffs, the ai storm taking jobs,etc, there are more than enough skilled devs with free time to make this happen. We as the community need to support them financially.

Please help spread the message in your various channels. If you're technically capable enough, start the process!
