Windows, as any operating system, is best run in a context most useful to the user and appropriate for the user’s technical level.
Why do you keep stating blatantly false info as facts when it is obvious that you’re knowledge of the topic at hand is superficial at best?
In this comment thread alone you’ve stated that:
Genuinely not trying to stir up shit, I’m curious. Why?
It’s great that it works for you and that you strive to spread your knowledge. Personally, I’m quite happy with my DNS filtering/uBlock Origin and restrictive browser approach and already employ alternatives where feasible in my custom use case.
Thanks for your offer, though!
15-20 years ago, I’d have agreed with you. But apart from a select few news sites and exceedingly rare static sites, what percentage of websites most users use day to day actually function even minimally without JavaScript?
I’m convinced that in practice, most users would be conditioned to whitelist pretty much every site they visit due to all the breakage. Still a privacy and security improvement, but a massive one? I’m not sure.
Very happy to be convinced otherwise.
if you’ve flown for 12 hours with all that entails to go to the US (for a reason) and are presented with the choice of unlocking your phone or be denied entry, you will cooperate. Especially if you moved all your sensitive info beforehand.
Yikes. Thanks for putting in the works and sharing your findings to you and @Nothing4You@programming.dev.
Ah. So Lemmy with version 0.19.4+ allows users to set a custom thumbnail URL for a post, which can be set to pretty much anything resembling a valid link, especially a link to another image in the local pictrs db and trigger a deletion of both when a minimum age check is passed.
Also this:
Except that the field allows some funny URLs e.g.
https://t.t/;';'%22;...[:%3C%3E?]%27;%20yaba%20daba%20doo
, if this is an issue too is not confirmed
Because this repo is going viral from time to time to developers, I’m open for discussion if you want to promote a product/service in this README file. Just mail me at XXXX
Ew.
The export/import functionality is, yes. This implementation uses the same API endpoints, but the main reason for this existing:
An instance I was on slowly died, starting with the frontend (default web UI). At least at the time, no client implemented the export/import functionality, so I wrote a simple script in Bash to download the user data, if the backend still works.
Running a script can still be a challenge to some users, so I wrote a web application with the same functionality.
It’s a bit redundant if we’re talking about regularly working instances, but can be of use if the frontend isn’t available for some reason.
Good call, I’ll add some explanations, kinda forgot about those.
EDIT: Done.
Great synopsis!
The cool thing about GrapheneOS: It provides basically all the comforts and usability as any Android (stock) ROM minus some compatibility issues with a portion of Google Apps and services (Google Pay doesn’t and probably will never work, for example) while providing state-of-the-art security and privacy if you choose to utilize those features. A modern Pixel with up-to-date GrapheneOS, configured the right way, is literally the most secure and private smartphone you can get today.
I prefer Lemmy for:
I prefer Reddit for:
Lemmy’s got some problems and I can’t stand the interinstance drama, also, due to the decentralized nature, some instances can’t keep up or the admins don’t care any more, so whole communities can essentially be held hostage or simply die until a toolset to move a community from one instance to another (and propagate the change properly to the Fediverse) becomes available.
Only do that if you know how to properly secure your server and your (V)LAN, if you host from your residential connection (and your ISP supports it).
It’s a very nice feature of a pretty polished frontend I haven’t heard of before, I’ll be sure to try it out!
Ah, so the “100% private” part is purely the recommendation engine.
Well, this tells us that more privacy minded people with a background or interest in technology tend to be more present/engaging on Fediverse platforms. Not really surprising.
This one is absolutely hilarious.
The guy allegedly knows his stuff from a technical point of view. And yet he searches for very specific info on google while logged in to his personal google account and further links his personal accounts to a forum where he proceeds to advertise his darknet marketplace and to SO where he asks for very specific advice?
This muppet searched for very specific infos on components he wanted to develop on his *personal fucking google account and implemented them shortly afterwards.
He literally panic searched, again, on his personal google account on Google in order to debug his server going down - minutes after the FBI temporally took his server physically offline to grab an image from it.
I expected elaborate timing and traffic correlation attacks, I got a stupid scammer treating his drug empire as a hobby project for his resume. Glorious.
I simply can’t wrap my head around the thought process behind launching a clusterfuck like this. Y Combinator probably didn’t do their due diligence and simply rode the fading AI Bubble, so I can at least understand how the funding might have been approved.
But actively leaving your $250,000+/year job to team up with some questionable choices to basically fork two OS projects, change the discord links and generate an illegal licence for that shit show, all while proudly stating, publicly, “dawg i chatgpt’d the license, anyone is free to use our app for free for whatever they want. if there’s a problem with the license just lmk i’ll change it. we busy building rn can’t be bothered with legal” when they are made aware of the fact.
This is absolutely insane, sounds like someone was about to get fired and decided to use some personal relations and fresh graduates to somehow successfully cash in one last time with absolutely no regard of even the basics. Pretty wild that those guys even managed to figure out how to found a Startup. Probably asked ChatGPT for instructions there, as well.
