- Comment on GitHub - voidauth/voidauth: An Easy to Use and Self-Host Single Sign-On Provider 🐈⬛🔒 4 days ago:
It locks you to postgres. You don’t necessarily have full control over postgres unless you are using your own instance / service, but oftentimes you might need to connect to an external one. SQLite gives you a local option.
Also what do you even mean with “does it store passwords?” A password is just a
TEXTor aBLOBif you are feeling charitable and SQLite does support those since forever. If you can store “hello world” you can store a password (just… don’t do it in plaintext, but storage is different from encryption). - Comment on Self host Blorp, your personal Lemmy/PieFed frontend 4 days ago:

The purchaser of that domain will be able to send and receive email from your addresses.
Wait wait wait, DKIM doesn’t solve this???

What do you mean, how?
Cute anime catgirl, a staple of the internet, without having to be showy or anything. And there are hooks to change it.
(Was actually half-surprised they didn’t go with “anime!stereotypical egyptian priestess” given the context of the software, but I feel that would have ended up too thematically overloaded in the end)

It does mean a form of provider lock-in, which is or can be its own issue. Also, while PostgreSQL is one of the best database engines out there among the FOSS stuff, it is verifiably and vastly overblown for stuff like “store a name and a email”, and I at least am not aware of any sort of “Postgres Lite” engines else I’d be using them at work.

Positives: nice uwu art.
Negatives: requires javascript, intrinsically ableist.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 1 week ago:
Firefox forks are real. They are also on mobile.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 1 week ago:
Cold take: we need to stop chasing web Standards that are purposefully set up by big corpo to be exlusionary.
What we need, what Firefox could hope to be, is a browser developed for a new old internet paradigm. Maybe Gopher, or Gemini (the good one). Alternatively a purposefully reduced HTML+CSS, no JS.
Trim down the fat so that it is actually possible to finance the development of a web engine an browser without leeching on a dick corpo (and sabotagong open internet in the process).
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 1 week ago:
Question. Does it have uBO or an equivalent yet?
Without it, it’ll simply not be internet-ready.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 1 week ago:
The forks are Firefox with their own leadership. I have had pretty good experience with Librewolf.
- Comment on Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass. 2 weeks ago:
Rooted/Custom ROM users are so tiny,
That’s what I told her to tell you.

So, help break the circle. You can target any of the nodes you mentioned.
- develop for the platform even if it has no issues (file it as “future-proofing”, “engineering concept”, whatever).
- use the platform while waiting for apps to come up, provide feedback on what apps are needed (and provide feedback on what can be done app-less, which is even more important).
- provide resources for develpopment (this one is somewhat more restricted).
None of the technologies that are abusing the network effect today started with a full charter of users.

That’s true of anything in technology (that is not designed to last; see: typewritrs and radio still work), so not really a variable. By that poiont you’ll either have a dedicated “updated” phone for current-gen slop, or have shifted over to a more private stack, or even have gone fully off-grid.
- Comment on How to combat large amounts of Ai scrapers 2 weeks ago:
So, what I’m reading is, if your “users” are bad (or bots), just get better users.
Sounds like a net win.

Where is that “we’re doomed” clip from The Newsroom when we need it?
- Comment on GitLab abandons federation plans! 2 weeks ago:
People could just submit issues by e-mail, tbh.
I have most of my projects on either notabug or chiselapp (Fosil, not Git) and to this day I get e-mails asking for stuff or notifying about issues, so it’s not like the “social” / “Hub” aspect of “GitHub” is needed.

You lost me there. You didn’t even hook me enough for the piefed part!

so… physicists and fanfic writers, yeah :p
- Comment on The Fediverse Passport: A needed tool. 2 weeks ago:
Ideally on a platform similar to Gmail in its decentralized nature
Really? This is the key to understanding that you don’t even know what you’re talking about.
- Comment on Sebastian Lauwers: "What Lemm.ee’s shutdown means (and doesn’t) for the Fediverse" - Mastodon 2 weeks ago:
But Lemmy isn’t one of those platforms. Right?
Not for content but that wasn’t what you asked for.
I migrated an account loooong ago and the only thing that didn’t copy/transfer by themselves was my posts. Dunno how much better it has gotten since then but what “makes” the account is so far quite easily exportable and importable.

Gotta be physicists or fanfic writers. I can not imagine other better options.
- Comment on Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem. 3 weeks ago:
Multicommunities
Doesn’t mbin already have that?
- Comment on Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem. 3 weeks ago:
The only thing that is making me hold out on this experiment is because I am 100% sure that some people will see their posts on a community they never interacted on and they will panic on the grounds of “mah privacy” or something silly like that.
Don’t hold out out of that. There are idiots everywhere and they should not be taken as a good driving force for anything.
Half the point of the Fediverse is that your activity is public. It’s the entire point of why have activity with a community or instance in the first place. Heck, it’s “kinda” the name of the protocol: “ActivityPub”.
- Comment on Cloudflare blocking AI crawlers 3 weeks ago:
Is that why I can no longer go from a web search (eg.: DDG, Ecosia) or forum link to StackOverflow without going through three CF captchas? If AI had not killed SO for me before, this does.
- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 3 weeks ago:
So it’s “You get off Google but not me! And keep subsidizing me!”?
It’s about 15% more understandable, but still, the same crap I expect by default from that kind of person.
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 3 weeks ago:
Trusting humans (to any extent) is quite vastly different than trusting corporations, to be honest. But if that’s your jingle, you can always do the work with a bulk tagger / gallery assembler. No AI, nor environment killing, needed.

Organic died shortly ago (they’d been enshittifying for a while). We go with CoMaps nowadays.

The Proton CEO praised Trump and his control and choices regarding IT and antitrust some months ago. People said it was a “one-off” but then the Proton board backed up the CEO. Writing’s been on the wall for a while.
- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 3 weeks ago:
But not Youtube. Which is Google.
Curious.
- Comment on PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google 3 weeks ago:
I’m done with Google! Watch me rant on Google’s Youtube! Earns me money!
So… yeah.
Why are we giving neonazis attention, again?
