- Comment on YouTube creator sues Nvidia and OpenAI for ‘unjust enrichment’ for using their videos for AI training 2 months ago:
Copying is not theft. Letting only massive and notoriously untransparent corporations control an emerging technology is.
- Comment on ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network 2 months ago:
Accessing printers? Resolving hostnames of internal hosts? I can’t imagine having a lan without mDNS
- Comment on The Google antitrust ruling could be an existential threat to the future of Firefox | Financials show 86% of Mozilla's revenue came from the agreement keeping Google as Firefox's default search engine 2 months ago:
I don’t think it’s quite as simple as someone just forking it. Realistically, a browser is an extremely complex piece of software that requires a lot of organizational effort to maintain, deal with security issues, etc. Pretty much every other piece of software on a similar scale I can think of (the kernel, KDE, Blender, Libreoffice) has some sort of organization behind it with at least some amount of officially paid work. All the major forks of Firefox or chromium follow quite closely to upstream for this reason (which is also why I’m skeptical of Brave’s ability to maintain manifest v2 long term, despite their probably genuine best efforts to do so).
I do wish that Firefox were developed and funded by an organization specifically dedicated to developing it. This could of course happen if Mozilla dies. But that’s going to require someone starting it, which is not at all a small or cheap task.
I could also see a future where Oracle or IBM buys it 😂🤡

A year ago, the majority of Lemmy was vehemently in support of banning porn
- Comment on Secure Boot is completely broken on 200+ models from 5 big device makers 3 months ago:
It is based on the assumption that every piece of code in the entire stack from the UEFI firmware to the operating system userspace is free of vulnerabilities
- Comment on YSK that the recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA. 95% of the country does not meet this amount. 3 months ago:
Lol that’s hilarious. I laugh so much at the crazy mixing of units we use here in the US. Similarly, it’s quite common to see metric and customary units in the same sentence, as in “add 1 tablespoon to 100 mL of water”.
- Comment on Link-Busters Sent a Billion DMCA Takedown Requests to Google Search. 3 months ago:
Whenever I want to pirate something I just go straight to btdig. And if there’s no torrent and I really need to search the web, I’ve had much better luck with Yandex. I figure they’re more resistant to takedowns from western corporations
- Comment on How do Texas residents afford electricity? 3 months ago:
Those are the wholesale prices to the utility company itself from the grid operators, not the prices to end users from the utility company. End users pay a flat amount per kWh that does not change by demand.
- Comment on The new Chinese owner of the popular Polyfill JS project injects malware into more than 100 thousand sites 4 months ago:
This one is already in the default
uBlock filters - Badware risksI also strongly suggest adding big.oisd.nl as a filter list. It’s a large and well maintained domain blocklist (sourced from combining lots of other blocklists) that usually adds lots of these sorts of domains quickly and has very few false positives.
If you want to take it even further, check out the Pro list and Thread Intelligence Feeds list here github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists
These can all be added to a pihole too if you use one.

This is why ublock origin is an essential security tool.

This is a forum for general discussion, not a question and answer board.

- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 5 months ago:
When Amazon thinks “sub” means “submissive” rather than “subscriber”
- Comment on FCC restores net neutrality rules that ban blocking and throttling in 3-2 vote 6 months ago:
I think it should be limited data cap OR limited/guaranteed speed, but not both
- Comment on YouTube moves to AV1 by default to the dismay of some Android users 6 months ago:
They’ve been using opus for probably around a decade at this point, and in fact YouTube was a pretty early adopter of it and had a large role in popularizing it

Oh okay, that makes more sense now
- Comment on Me seeing my post being removed (at least I have my muffins) 6 months ago:
How in the fuck could that possibly be seen as reactionary nonsense??? That’s quite concerning if that’s what the moderation is like on this community

Maybe try Stash, it has gallery support too github.com/stashapp/stash
Also, what about jellyfin itself? It also supports photos

That’s not what the commenter said and I think you are knowingly misrepresenting it.

- Comment on Microsoft endorses anti-LGBTQ online "child safety" bill KOSA night before Big Tech hearing (US Politics) 9 months ago:
They have the money and resources to comply with it, but any small competitor won’t. So Microsoft will gain even more dominance in the market

When you want the private network to connect to a public IPv6 network
- Comment on New UEFI vulnerabilities send firmware devs industry wide scrambling 9 months ago:
A lot of the world, especially Africa and south America, was somewhat later in adopting the Internet and has a much smaller supply of IPv4 addresses. People with ISPs there need IPv6 to be directly connectable without CGNAT
