This is so god damn ridiculous that we have gotten to a point where it’s harder to steal data and info from people with fine digital systems only for governments to tear it all down.

Let’s go back to only http while we are at it and require single word, all lowercase passwords too. Too complicated? Not allowed, only a-Z characters. Or actually no, let’s store the passwords in clear text so if Mr. Police needs it he can just request and look up my password. Oh and fuck 2FA because that’ll be too inconvenient for whoever needs to access my data.

YUP I gave up quickly! it’s truly a CSSHell lol.

From their release notes:

[…] Note that this feature is completely optional and no AI related code is even loaded until you configure an AI provider.

I’m glad for that part.

Maybe, who knows. Oh well. Can still appreciate the good content of PG, especially after they hired some more staff for content, which has been really nice.

I love privacyguides but still a bit salty about how jonah neglected lemmy.one, just ignored contacting attempts when his instance was hosting fuckedup shit, and then brushed it all off by saying lemmy is lacking in functionality instead of admitting he had been completely neglecting the admin tasks on lemmy.one and that he should have closed that instance long time ago if he didn’t plan to deal with it.

It’s ok not to want to continue hosting or admitting that life got in the way, but just brushing that off by saying it’s lemmy’s fault is what annoyed me.

Edit: words.

And they are only answering the easy questions in that thread, just basically answering those “yes” answers with “but but but…you are wrong”. When someone elaborates further or presents some good arguments they just stop answering.

I’m happy I moved to CoMaps when the shitty behaviour of OrganicMaps shareholders came into light.

Forgot about floorp, you are right. No need to jiggle tarballs.

Hey now it’s simple. The name is derived from Ygjls and hfefe which are like industry standard and everyone knows that. Well ok, maybe not hfefe but how do you jumbo your börg config without jimbling tarballs from nightly goobpy repo which obviously has hfefe as a dep?

You put it well. Big Companies who rely on these libraries should put in the work. They have the money and resources to help FOSS projects reach compliance.

Exactly. At the same time the same businesses are claiming record profits, and not contributing to that central piece of foss software at all in any way (like the car manifacturers mentioned in the post).

I knew people in general are terrible to whoever is providing something for free but WTF.

Atleast he also gets occasionally nice emails

He concluded the brief talk with one last email; it was from an 11-year-old child who had found curl useful in some project they were working on. It included an expression of gratitude that, Stenberg said, was truly heartwarming.

It’s not an actual “CSS game” but instead drives the most competent CSS person over the edge.

Signed up and started using tutamail awhile ago. I used to have my actual name as my email user but decided against it now.

I also started “digital privacy detox” a year ago and have made significant progress:

1. I decided to figure out all the accounts I made before I started using password manager and added them to my password manager

2. I went through them, logged in / sent an email and terminated my accounts. This has taken me a year not because I had so many accounts everywhere, but because certain platforms are so fucking difficult with this (the only one I have not been able to get deleted although I’ve said this is a GDPR violation is Roblox. The account is almost 20 years old and has had no activity but they refuse. I currently am trying to figure out how to tip them off to an organization like NOYB)

3. change info on accounts that I do plan to keep by removing personal info and switching to my new email. This is also not as easy always as I had hoped: e.g. Twitch (which I use super rarely but I do use it sometimes) for some reason doesn’t allow a tutamail email…

Extra: I bumped into a shady “professionals for recruiters” website that had scraped all of my data from linkedin. This info is public and I never put much personal info on my linkedin, but I got creeped out by seeing my picture on this website I never put it on. I removed my real profile pic from every platform where it was after that.

Hey you leave my favourite beaver alone!

Awesome! Glad to hear! :)

Seems like lemmy.wtf posts are up again, can you login today?

That’s very possible! I mean as a user I also do like stability (had to instance hop quite a few times when I joined fediverse due to them shutting down) but also see resiliency and strenght in being able to spin up an instance of a platform we are all familiar with. When people leave reddit they don’t have similar alternatives with many users, but on lemmy/piefed we can always migrate and stay on the same platform with different rules and administrators.

Of course that’s simplifying the whole topic, but I’m not that worried about fediverse. But you are right of course that for new users who are on the edge already this might be a big dealbreaker. That’s why I always suggest bigger instances first. Once you are comfortable with fedi/threadiverse you can migrate to a smaller instance (I did exactly that once I figured out how this all works). I know lemm.ee shutting down probably made a noticable chunk of people give up on fediverse because we didn’t see any instance completely fill the void that lemm.ee’s weekly activity left.

This topic has had a lot of discussion, but backup plans are good indeed. Lemmy.wtf is small though, so I wouldn’t worry about it and I believe Meldrik is coming back :) what happened with feddit.de was tragic. I wonder if they ever found out what happened to the admin.

Just pinged @meldrik@lemmy.wtf on matrix. Seems like he’s been away from lemmy (or just not commenting) for a week.

Edit: was made aware that he’s away right now unfortunately :( hope he returns soon and resolves the issue!

That would be awesome!

Since the page doesn’t have about or info page I’ll add the link to the repo of threadiverse.link: https://github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link
