- Comment on Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time 8 months ago:
I saw that here, too. Thought about reporting when I saw the sidebar didn’t even have a rule against it (forgot which community though - my app doesn’t present that in an obvious way)
- Comment on Round 2 🚢 8 months ago:
I’d expected much more glass on this one too. If you’re underwater for fun you want to see shit!
- Comment on Cardinals 8 months ago:
The way umlauts or often used in memes like this one, the authors seem not to be aware that they are pronounced differently than the corresponding vowel.
- Comment on 8 months ago:
With the minor difference that trekkies usually don’t kill people.
- Comment on Snikt 8 months ago:
Wow. Imagine adamantium cancer.
- Comment on Liking an OS isn't a personality trait ❌ 8 months ago:
Great first date question!
- Comment on What is the word for someone who is friends with different groups but doesn't have loyalty to any one group? 8 months ago:
If I had a friend who kept the company of fascists, I’d probably drop them real quick
Not a good way to make them see reason. I know it’s hypothetical but if you’re friends shouldn’t you put in some effort to help instead of just drop them?
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Sometimes it’s great. If people complain about paywalls, for example, and you didn’t even see the pop-up.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
While I actually do that, you cannot seriously recommend it to anyone. Hardly any site works without Javascript nowadays.
- Comment on Hunger 8 months ago:
Never blow someone while hungry!
- Comment on Core i9-14900KS overclocked to 9.1 GHz, breaking numerous world records 8 months ago:
It’s 6.2 GHz and they set the voltage to 1.85 V. Both is stated in the article. You must have missed it.
- Comment on Green guys 8 months ago:
Bottom left is green E.T.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Just because software vendors legally made it that way doesn’t make it right. Also probably the main reason, many people don’t have any qualms pirating.
- Comment on Please Stop 8 months ago:
can you give me a like, more clear practical example of a good use of blockchain?
Do you see how all the answers are generic, tend to be long and read like a sales pitch? That’s because the actual answer is: no, there is no practical legal application that isn’t better solved with conventional tech.
The only application that is successfully used in practice is paying for organized crime: buying goods and services on the dark web and paying for extortion like ransomware attacks.
- Comment on Please Stop 8 months ago:
Now add that trustlessness is impossible and you can scratch the blockchain box for good.
You cannot get rid of trust in some form. You need entry to the system, so you need to trust its gateway. You need to trust the network to not have some vulnerability like a 50% attack. And eventually you need to trust the developers not to add critical bugs (that alone is virtually impossible) or pull off some scam.
- Comment on A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us. 8 months ago:
How about keeping the guard rails as they are and let the fat car drivers carry the risk?
- Comment on Roku disables TVs and streaming devices until users consent to new terms 8 months ago:
It’s effectively a dumb monitor.
I may be old-fashioned but that’s the only thing a TV is supposed to be. You choose how to use it by its periphery.
- Comment on Lemmy Active Users looking good 8 months ago:
Oh, many more were upset - just too lazy to inconvenience themselves with switching platforms.
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
The dotcom bubble was different. Now, everything related to actual AI development is hyped but the dotcom bubble inflated entire indexes, “new market” indexes were setup comprising companies nobody had ever heard of. It was orders of magnitude worse.
- Comment on Unpacking Google’s new “dangerous” Web-Environment-Integrity specification 1 year ago:
If Google drops them, Microsoft have already shown a want to step up into that position.
Oh really? By replacing IE with yet another Chromium browser? Or what did I miss?
- Comment on Encryption-breaking, password-leaking bug in many AMD CPUs could take months to fix 1 year ago:
Welcome to the club! We’re dozens here!
- Comment on Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? 1 year ago:
If that’s true it should really be stickied by am admin. That’s crucial info.
- Comment on Learning computer/OS for kids, that teaches command line? 1 year ago:
I’m the same generation and think that time has passed and won’t come back. There’s a difference between tinkering because you’re interested and the need to get something running (that’s why customers always run into different problems than testers because they have an actual use case).
However, I felt that setting up Arch Linux felt pretty similar to installing and configuring DOS back in the 80/90s. Only now you have an awesome wiki to guide you and don’t need to look for books or rely on friends already having solved your problem.
- Comment on Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux 1 year ago:
Are we being overly anal about semantics here?
Usually not but your whole activity in this thread reads like you’re just hating on Linux for some reason: “too diverse!” “it destroyed my ssd!” (which I doubt). In that context your claim to have been a user just looks like a half-truth to give yourself some credibility.
Anyway, back to the actual topic: I don’t care about mass-adoption. Everything turns to shit when the masses pour over it. In my opinion, Lemmy has reached the critical amount of contributors to get it going, except more actual scientists maybe.
- Comment on Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux 1 year ago:
People know the unix system under the very successful product that is MacOS.
What? Only techies know that, 99% users don’t and wouldn’t care.
- Comment on Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux 1 year ago:
I won’t nitpick how Linux is a kernel not an OS but how is it not widespread? It just runs basically the whole internet…
The reasons the average Joe doesn’t use it for their desktop are convenience (Windows and macOS come pre-installed) and that you can run into technical issues due to bad support by hardware vendors. The latter is a chicken/egg problem and will possibly never be resolved.
Anyway, I disagree it’s due to the number of choices - we don’t need monopolies. Your grocery store is full of different brands of cheese and all of them still stay on business.
- Comment on I can't code. 1 year ago:
learning programming is BORING
Then it’s not for you. No shame in that. I don’t understand the notion that everyone is supposed to be a coder now.
If anything, the low-level coding part is something AI models may well make obsolete relatively soon. Unlike any craftsmanship - why not learn masonry or carpentry instead?
- Comment on Apple watching & logging EVERY APP YOU OPEN [Louis Rossmann] 1 year ago:
It’s a shit video since he’s just reading a blog post. The post is here: sneak.berlin/20201112/your-computer-isnt-yours/
Make of this what you will.
- Comment on Apple watching & logging EVERY APP YOU OPEN [Louis Rossmann] 1 year ago:
The video is basically some dude reading a blog post (boy, I hate those, provide no value). The blog post he reads is this: sneak.berlin/20201112/your-computer-isnt-yours/
The author comments to the blog post you linked and it partially makes sense: if you fetch the developer’s certificate, Apple knows when you started an application of that developer (and which public IP address you have).
Whether or not there are many devs that only made one application, so you can identify this, I cannot estimate, I’m not an Apple user. But you don’t need to send a hash calculated in client side to get this info.
