The fact that the ccc uses matrix as their official chat "app" doesn't imply that it is inherently insecure I would say.

I have no experience with this topic, so hopefully I don't step on your toes.

It does read like your mother is trying in her own way. Maybe there is a chance to talk to her alone without your father and explain a couple of basics to her? She probably has no idea what it really means and this is her way of trying, even if it is hurting you. Not saying it is OK, just that it probably needs time and good talks to process and accept it.

Maybe ask your grandma for her opinion on how to deal with her.

Anyway, I wish you all the best!

My advice is try using existing documents with Libre office. You can install it on windows as well.

I use Linux for over twenty years now and installed windows on a vm last week to Wirte my resume. Libre office is fine, you run into problems when opening and editing existing ms office documents. At least that is my experience.

But give Libre office on windows a shot, see if you like it.

The reason this is allowed is because Arizona, like many other states, doesn’t require religious leaders to report instances of abuse to law enforcement if they learned about it through an act of confession. That’s not true everywhere. If a public school teacher learned that a student was being abused at home, that teacher has a legal obligation to tell the student’s counselor (who can take appropriate action). But not pastors. Not bishops. Not priests. If someone tells them a secret, believing it will remain a secret, then the law allows those leaders to keep it a secret, even if people are getting hurt.

I guess that's enough internet for today.......

At least in feddit (main German instance) there were a lot of posts offering up financial support, but it was declined because it was not needed.

I think especially the smaller communities wouldn't have a problem coming with funds for hosting. Donations for lemmy developers have also increased significantly since the main exodus.

I get your scepticism, but I think the lemmy community for the most part wants this thing to "succeed" and is willing to chip in a reasonable amount.

They even have a dedicated piece of hardware for it.

Look into vlan.

Basically allows you to have different subnets rubbing on a physical network card.

It is possible what you want to do and not that complicated.

Hmm, maybe. Depends on the infrastructure they put up. If there is a separate domain for the telemetry, then you can block it. Still no guarantee that it still works though.

The app will need internet access to login though. That really is a cat and mouse game that is not worth your time I'd say.

 

I know we already got another thread about this topic, but I wanted to highlight the stance of home assistant for this topic.

I really don't see how you can argue with this post. Well, I can, but I really don't want to think about it.

I regularly comments from users who were not aware or the financial situation. Maybe "we" need to promote it a bit more. But it is 332 per week, not month. At the beginning of the last migration it stood at 40 something, so we at least got some traction.

Thanks for the update and thanks for the work guys, I really appreciate it

Yup, a really shitty article and nothing of essence in it.
