Hey thanks for responding. I submitted a post about it in more detail.

For a quick summary this, is ideally and particularly how I was planning for communities to work on Peertube.

What they ideally would do.

Act like public playlist, where any one can add their video to the community, possibly with an optional approval list.

Approved/submited videos should show in chronological order of the submitted video, not the original video upload date.

Communities would be managed by the specific dedicated server that created them.

What Peertube communities ideally should not do:

Change where (hosted instance) the video is hosted, except when necessary, such as backup or otherwise.

here’s an example of a search with better results then sepia search’s.

So what I mean is, if you do a blunt search there are videos that won’t show in sepia search or Vidverse search results. Having a communities like feature would make it easier to find user content.

If I search from a server using vidiverse sometimes the results might be better then sepia search results. or vice versa. I want more united results on Peertube across the board.

Can you add some kind of Peertube communities feature similar to Lemmy, to make it easier find get local videos hosted on local servers.

These seem to be the 4 options particularly for ssaid. See my last comment. you should also be able to reset the advertising I.d which you can easily do right on your android phone’s settings without root.

USAID is pretty straight forward to spoof, you can either do it with adb using a PC, or by factory resetting the phone. (which is probably a last resort for you not sure.) edit: or you can create a virtual environment, or root and use Xposed/Magisk modules.

No i’m saying what specifically do you mean by device id. because I need to know so I can tell you if or how you can spoof it.

One final detail, when you say device id. Do you mean (for Android) ssaid, IMEI or advertising I.d or Mac address?

So device id is one piece of the puzzle, among other ways of getting your location and address.

However with that in mind here is why I would particularly try to hide the device id.

It never changes, your IP address can change based off of the network you are on which is particularly good for cellular connection. However using a VPN is still better.

To my knowledge they couldn’t just get your location form device id itself, however device id and IP address are part of the collection they are aiming to grab. As I said, if you forget to check if your VPN is on, then they can collect your IP address/location separately from your device id.

Do cover up anything and everything you can. Not because it gives additional info, but every new thing is just another piece of the equation.

I mean, in what context. Are you trying to to make sure they don’t know its you using their apps or services? Or just in general wondering if you should hide your device id. If you aren’t hiding anything illegal, while using a VPN device I.d wouldn’t really help them much. If you are using modified apps to access services. In a case like this, for instance with Disney+ or Netflix, apps could figure your device id and then the second you mess up and are connected to their apps and your VPN is off then they can then connect the real IP address with that device id.

Overall For privacy protection you should 100% spoof your device id. However if you aren’t doing anything illegal particularly modding official apps, or using such modifications. You might not need to spoof the device id, and a VPN alone might still be enough anyways as long that it is a trusted VPN, don’t just use any make sure you know that you can trust the VPN host provider.

If you are concerned of the possibility of a bot being among other users that has no been deleted what I would suggest is. Get into less popular and less documented videos topics and their comment sections.

Idk what you are searching for but the more specific a video is to a genre or video topic will certainly throw off an ai chat bot. They’ll eventually say the wrong thing. What you do then is see if they bother correcting themselves or do they keep using the same answer in responses. You’l know its a bot because in more niche topic a real person would be more dedicated into saying the right things.

Linux is well documented but how documented is Palemoon browser compared to Firefox for example. The more specific you get the easier it will be to know if it’s an ai bot. If you talk about everyday topics the ai is always being trained on user generated content. It gets harder to tell.

I don’t even look at YouTube comments half the time.

with that said, while you can delete your content from the physical server any screen share, or internet archive are kept forever, also this might not clear your posts from federated servers.

It’s pretty easy to do in your Lemmy account settings. For someone who has done this many, many times .

If it doesn’t you might have to use a 3rd party screen share tool. Or try some sort of work around, such as such as by using discord screen share to share the screen recording of another screen share application that does show your mouse cursor.

1 tb is a good start for most use case. 5 tb…? now you’re getting somewhere.

Some screenshare software has a setting you need to toggle to then have the mouse show. I would look into your screen share settings and check for a toggle like that,

I use it all the time when walking a track. Pretty good app, and it lets my brain not worry about losig track and wondering if I really did walk around the desired amount of times.

There are going to be ai’s that tell users to kill themselves or not to. Depending on how well they are trained or set up by the creator and how the user is acting towards the ai. It’s not just one factor all those factors are linked to how the ai will respond so i’m not particularly victim blaming.

I do have to ask why you bring up a news anchors fetish when we’re talking about the potential of an ai chat bot helping someone with suicidal issues. It really just sounds like you have a bias against ai and aren’t taking into account the potential of preventing suicide for a person when they have no one they feel comfortable to talk to.

However it is important to know the context of these cases. Ai character creators are able to make ai characters (on platforms like character ai) and are able to direct the behavior of the ai to how they would want. Now Gemini and grok on the other hand, ai’s like that where no one knows where Google or Musk are guiding them i’l acknowledge might not be as trustworthy because on character ai the user knows up front how the ai is intended to behave by the creator. If the user want to make a modification to the ai’s behavior or vibe they can literally just tell the ai character how they want the ai to behave and it will adapt. So ai does certainly have the potential help people with their tramas through conversation.

I think ai can be usefull in cases like this. Especially in a case where a person who is literally about to commit the suicide. Ai might not be 100% accurate but if it can prevent someone from taking their life by offering some support, that is a positive thing.
