  One of the few things we know about Vance is that he doesn’t believe what he says.

  I’d take the coin flip liar over the traitor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is stopping a scammer from HTTPS certificating a "nonsense.ReputableBank.com"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  All that does is allow someone in the middle to potentially read your traffic. So what’s secret about the traffic between you and the Internet archive? If it’s only your login details, that seems like a you problem.

  It wasn’t long ago that most of the internet was http only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is stopping a scammer from HTTPS certificating a "nonsense.ReputableBank.com"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’ve… compromised your own security. Grats?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calcrelatable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  (check out modern computing for why!)

  Because when you need to do a process a thousand times, you program it in an actual computer. Then you just have a specific interface for just your process that makes everything simple.

  And the developer really only needs to understand the process for a couple months. Once it’s confirmed working correctly, you’re generally done with that piece of code.

  I’d click this to humor you, but I’m not going to “rumble dot com”.

  wtf are you on?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Balatro - Friends of Jimbo (Pack 2) | Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t played it on mobile, but it does seem made for it. And everything is turn based with absolutely no timers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Balatro - Friends of Jimbo (Pack 2) | Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I avoided the game after hearing the addiction rumors. A friend bought it as a steam gift.

  It didn’t get me as good as Slay the Spire did, but it’s pretty good.

  “Tabloids” was the word you were looking for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sound like something you did with replacing files. Bitwarden is dead simple, and that’s why it’s great.

  They’ve sent enough soldiers and weapons to Ukraine that they’re worried about their southern border being weak.

  Well, it’ll be putting stain on the grid, more than likely.

  sell.amazon.com/pricing#referral-fees

  I guess, according to you, it costs more to host files than it does to ship you a physical USB.

  Maybe all these apps stores need to look into physical delivery in order to bring their costs down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I make games and this literally happened to me this morning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Epic can only compete because they’ve few users and are willing to operate at a near loss

  Bullshit. Epic’s loses are in paying for exclusives and giving away games while ruining their PR.

  Steam could operate at 15% if they wanted to. But… why would they do that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish more people on Reddit and Twitter would recognize that and use more discretion with who they’re creating a product for.

  Image of private messaging within Lemmy showing that the messages are not secure

  I’d recommend Signal for truly private messaging. I’ve heard things about Matrix, and the warning mentions Element.io, nether of which I’m personally familiar with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy.world is a registered non-profit organization. fedihosting.foundation/about-us/

  It’s easy enough to use the API to scrape the site and use all the posts and DMs for free. It’d be odd for OpenAI to pay for it.

  Please do recognize that anything you post publicly IS public, whether that’s Facebook or here. The lack of an API isn’t going to stop places from scraping your data off of Facebook or Reddit either.

  Your DMs here are explicitly public. That’s part of the federation between servers. If you want truly private DMs, there are options for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t paid for Lemmy yet. Well, other than volunteer time.

  I guess if we want something where we’re not the product, we have to build it ourselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially on mobile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Butts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yes. But I meant for medical purposes, not judicial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Butts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually really valuable. It can be a great alternative to a tracheotomy.

  I don’t know if this is in practice yet, but I’ve heard of it in recent years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just to give a concrete example, there are a couple blatantly political posts on !fediverse. Do they belong there? Absolutely not. But by the time I saw them days later, the damage was done and they were already taken care of by downvotes. Should I really mod remove a week old post with 50 downvotes? The discussion there about why it didn’t belong was fine, and didn’t need to be hidden further.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean like if they went all tankie? Or like AOL email? This has already happened several times before and it’s fine. Google could kill gmail in six months and we’d all move on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a little centralization in your federation. It works well enough for email. The point is that you have the option, not that you have to use it.

  You don’t have to trade one extreme for the other. In fact, I think this is the perfect example of that. Lemmy.ml is the developers’ instance, and by default would likely be the largest. Except… you know. Many, many people started there before going to other instances, especially the largest competitor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ooooh it's tasty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly as a way to hand money to Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what takes up less space? Software on the phone that I’m already carrying.

  There have also been occasions where I forget my wallet but still have my phone to pay with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rogan Khan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It still got Trump elected, along with T_D and hyper vigilant moderating of contrary narrative.

  Paywall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rogan Khan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine how much easier it is to astroturf when you don’t have screennames or history to fake.

  It becomes what someone with an agenda needs at the time.
