Sorry for the title, didn’t know how to succinctly describe it. Here goes.

I have my gmail set up in my iOS device using the default app. Whenever a new email comes in, the number of new emails in the inbox would appear very briefly appear as 2, instead of 1.

After maybe a second or less, that number goes to 1, which is the correct number. It’s usually very quick so I don’t have a recording.

Has anyone encountered this? Anyone knows why it happens?

Thanks!

Is there a database tracking companies that start out with good intentions and then eventually gets bought out or sells out their initial values? I’m wondering what the deciding factors are, and how long it takes for them to turn.

How is the entity or power that has the ability to grant me such knowledge connected to the existence of the universe?

I’m looking for a duplicate/similarity checker against a custom set of documents. This is possibly like a plagiarism checker, but with a custom reference (instead of everything that exists).

But I could not find a solution that can be selfhosted, and have some simple UI and capabilities like Turnitin. Any suggestions?

Thanks’

I don’t get what the obsession with big phones is. Is it that most people really want big phones or that companies can charge more for them?

I think many have also been wondering about version control of legislation/law documents for some time as well. But I never understand why it’s not realized yet.

As much as I despise snap, this instance bring some questions into how other popular cross-linux platform app stores like flathub and nix-channels/packages provide guardrails against malwares.

I’m aware flathub has a “verified” checks for packages from the same maintainers/developers, but I’m unsure about nix-channels. Even then, flathub packages are not reviewed by anyone, are they?

what really confuses me is how the FDA approves this without a few more years of animal testing and protocol refinement.

I’m looking for potential Lemmy/Kbin communities where people can ask for suggestions for data sources. There’s “datahoarders” but that’s more technical how-to’s of the act of hoarding (I think).

I’m searching for more of a “data-request” or “ask-data” type of community, though the latter might be more appropriate for asking more meta questions about data.

Is there such a community out there?

Thanks

Ps: If this is not an appropriate place to ask for community finding, please let me know.

I was suggested that this might fit here, so I’m crossposting from datahoarders (https://lemmy.world/post/5267985)

I’m looking for a data archive of corporation ownership networks. For example, Alphabet owns Google, … and some metadata like when they are created/owned by Alphabet if possible. I was made aware of OpenCorporates but it doesn’t seem to have such data as far as I tried.

The comments on datahoarders suggest a few interesting options (littlesis, wikidata, SEC filing scraping). I wonder if the OSINT communities know more about potential tools and resources for this.

Thanks!

Apologies in advance if this is not an appropriate content for the community. I figured digital archivists may be aware of the existence of such archive. I couldn’t find a specific lemmy community solely for asking about data suggestions. If there’s a community better suited for this post, please let me know.

Thanks!

I wonder whether matrix and/or matrix bridge has been mentioned before. Maybe discord + matrix bridge is a good enough compromise for reachability.

seriously, how bad must it be to change name to clean up their image? We all expect this industry is controversial.

The only recent thing I remember about Pornhub is the current blocking in certain states as protest to the age verification requirement. That seems like a plus in my book that they stand up for privacy and internet use. Changing the name seems like it might dilute their stance.

I’m trying to look for a self-hosted alternative for Airtable (or at least FOSS option) that has some basic mobile app option for viewing + editing.

I was looking at Baserow and Nocodb but I couldn’t find any iOS/android options for either of them.

Any suggestions?

Particularly zombie apocalypse, but also more generally as well. Many seem to be about post-apocalypse, but the chaos and confusion at the beginning seems like such a fruitful idea. Yet that’s so rarely done/done well as far as I know for zombie movie/shows, except for shows like Dead Set UK. Is it because of the budget, or that such shows/movies cannot be milked forever like TWD?

did not know “kidinfluencer” is a thing. the exploitative, child labor nature of such concept, the detrimental mental health effects of such practice, on kids no less. definitely something we can live without.

I’m not very familiar with how Wikipedia vets the sources in the references/external links. I was wondering whether there are manual or automated checks for cyclic sources, for example a Wikipedia page cites a source for something, but such source after a few rounds of citing would go back to the same Wikipedia page.

  • Does that happen with Wikipedia?
  • Does it matter? I presume that would invalidate the source?
  • How do they make sure it does not happen? Is there an automated check or something?

Looking forward to someone bringing this up when discussing the ongoing died-but-somehow-always-revived legislations that would introduce backdoors for encryption for government

maybe even integration with uBlock if possible?

First of, I’m not entirely sure they are the same to be honest, sometimes I see discuss.site-a.com while others it’s discourse.site-b.com?

Anyway, are these federated in some ways?
