  • Let’s not forget anyone can fly light weight quadcopters and planes with cameras on them within the boundaries of private property. Most aviation authorities around the world are in control of air space, and that air space in most countries starts a micron above the ground. And therefore it’s perfectly legal for anyone to fly something within the boundaries of your property. Now you could get into trouble for being a peeping Tom, aggravation, etc depending on the circumstance. But nothing can be done if someone was to do a quick fly over.

    In my opinion blurring out street view only protects you against the ‘script kiddies’ of the stalking/spying world.

    One thing about blurring in street view. Once it’s done, it cannot be undone. So I’d have consideration for others before going ahead with making a request.








  • I think voting should be as what was originally set out by Reddit; I don’t know if it’s still in their guidelines. The voting system indicates the relevancy of the contribution and whether it adds to the discussion or not. Spam and off-topic contributions gets shoved to the bottom and everything else rises to the top.

    Obviously most people on Reddit these days use it as a like/dislike, agree/disagree voting system as well.

    Does Lemmy instance owners and community mods ban people for having a different opinion that’s so benign?

    Some Reddit mods attempt to be authoritative and ban people who hold different opinions to themselves. I know I have and I stay out of subs that relate to politics, the news, and anything divisive really.




  • We need a NOVA replacement with how they’ve recently restructured the company. It looks like NOVA is getting squeezed for the last few cents they’ve got to offer by whom ever bought the company 1-2 years ago.

    I’ve tried every other launcher I could find. In my opinion they all seemed to be minimalistic by design or they just lacked features.
