    Its original idea is actually interesting. Influencers always share perfectly composed scenes of their life, so it seems like they are always traveling, always doing something interesting. This app asks you at random times to please share what you are actually doing at that moment, it sends a notification when you should share, it has a window of some minutes to take a photo. You never know when the next bereal notification will show up. You can be sure, if someone always shares something interesting from their life constantly is not just faking it, it’s actually real.

    I never used it, but some of my friends do, so this is based on their explanations.

    You should assume that whatever you upload to the internet without encryption is public. Bereal was always advertised as a tool for sharing your life with others, so this isn’t unexpected for me. The only misleading part is that if you share with friends only, it’s not just your friends, but also the service provider, so you should assume that it may leak. I never used bereal so I’m not familiar with its features, some of my friends use it and I just heard about it from them. From their description it didn’t sound as an app where you should expect privacy.

    Is Lemmy a privacy nightmare? No, because you know that everything is public here, admins can even see your DMs.

    Do not share private data on the public internet


  • There are different communities for answers like that, for general techsupport. Maybe OP asked it in a wrong place, but if it’s already here, and does not sound blatantly oftopic it should be answered in the spirit of the community.

    And the answer was also wrong, OP asked how to save as inverted, not how to open inverted.



  • People are different, different people like different things, and they care about different features of a device.

    I never had any apple device, but I help a lot other people with iphones and macs, and I have to tell you they are just devices. I’m familiar with their features, but I don’t care, this whole thing is only about you. If you want an iphone buy one. If you don’t want one, just move on, life is too short for getting mad about unnecessary thing like this.














  • OpenStreetMap is the registered trademark of OSM Foundation, and they ask to please don’t use mixed and confusing names like some of these for related projects. From the Trademark Policy:

    You may not:

    abbreviate the wordmarks, combine them with other words (“OpenStreetMapThing”), or substitute words in the mark (“OpenStreetThing” or “OpenThingMap”), especially where the new combination sounds similar to OpenStreetMap.

    While they usually allow the use for open projects, it would be just easier to respect the request of the Foundation.

    Sorry for copying my comment from the other thread, but it could help others here as well.
