[tantek] Welp, the required (in EU) disclosures from BeReal have me not wanting to use it any more. They literally claim "Ensure security, prevent and detect fraud, and fix errors" to ALWAYS REQUIRE sending data to 50+ vendors (surveillance/ adtech). Like you can't opt-out
alfiee joined the channel
#
[tantek] No app or site needs to send data to 50+ other "vendors" for security or fraud detection or fixing errors. It's total BS
#
[tantek] I took screenshots and may document on the wiki
#
[tantek] I expect however that this may be a typical practice of "free" native mobile apps
#
sebbu [tantek], an adblock, a vpn or a hosts file should be able to prevent that
#
sebbu beside, you never know the data is sent to only 1 or 50 vendors, it could be sent to one that transmit it to all the others :D
alfiee, mathilde, z428 and nemonical joined the channel
#
[tantek] Yeah it's about (beyond) time to set everything up on VPN in the hopes it can be configured to block access to specific domains. A hosts file is not really supported on mobile devices AFAIK
#
[tantek] and I'm already using Firefox Focus for lots of ad/tracker blocking

#
bossy Not sure if this is the right place for this, but how do people take synced notes, thoughts etc that doesn't rely on big tech (apple notes etc). I was thinking obsidian or logseq. I am a designer and not some academic with trillions of interconnected notes and like to stick a few images into notes here and there.
#
bossy It's part of my big move away from big tech, embracing open source and smaller providers where possible etc
cedric, barnaby and nomead joined the channel
#
[Murray] I wouldn't call any of this "big tech", but it's largely paid-for services: I use WorkFlowy (free tier is solid) for lots of quick note-taking and organisation; Readwise Reader for annotations, bookmarks, and stuff like feed subscriptions; and my own site's "notes" section for long-term storage and linking
#
[Murray] I've also used Memex in the past in place of Readwise; it doesn't do any of the RSS stuff, but it's solid for annotating web pages and extracting that into Markdown
#
capjamesg[d] [tantek] TIL about Firefox Focus!
#
[Murray] I have also dabbled with Obsidian, and now that Readwise have set up automated full-text extraction to Obsidian of saved pages, I might go back to using that as a back-up archive

#
darylsun I don't do linked notes or annotations, so I just sync Markdown files using Nextcloud (hosted with PikaPods) and organize them with subfolders
alfiee and cptaffe` joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas I use an app called The Archive which saves everything as individual Markdown (or TXT) files on a shared drive.
#
bossy thanks everyone

#
GuestZero is there a place in the indieweb community for blatant show-off? :o)
#
capjamesg[d] You can share links to things you have made on your website here if you have made something you are proud of and want to share.

[morganm] Here is a link I'm proud to share, this was heavily inspired by the CSs course by Set a studio. This year the 4th Annual Bellingham Coffee Crawl is happening, I started making a website. This uses new to me techniques and is experimental https://coffeecrawl2025.netlify.app/#
#
[Sophia_wood] I may have to go up there for this. Coffee!! The site is looking great
#
[morganm] Wooo! Thanks so much. I'm like 30% of the way through the css course and I decided to try skipping to the final product and messing with it for fun and then going back and completing the course
#
[Sophia_wood] I think I’ve done that with multiple cds courses
#
[Sophia_wood] Css
#
Loqi friendly reminder [morganm], [Sophia_wood], it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (CSS), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
[morganm] Loqi-- it's not too technical
#
[morganm] Heh

[aciccarello] That second post is kinda old but I realized IndieNews didn't like the trailing slash I had after the language code when I first sent it.
