  Gitea (and hopefully Forgejo as well) really is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨St. Paul, MN, was hacked so badly that the National Guard has been deployed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I know of one successful supply chain attack in FOSS.

  So still points for using it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal boss warns app will exit Australia if forced to hand over users’ encrypted messages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently? This has been happening for many decades. I remember the fall of privacy and law after 9/11, and that wasn’t the start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  EU is working on that, too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨workflow⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, just like us right now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watermarks offer no defense against deepfakes, study suggests⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not good.

  But it’s leagues better than crypto.

  I hate typing ‘asymmetric key cryptography’, and GPG is just three letters.

  Those blog posts explain a lot, but one use case is missing (at least I don’t see it apart from git commit signing), and that is verifying the source of a public message.

  And I do wish we tried using the private keys more. Specially now when anyone can deepfake anything.

  If I ever release my nudes, never trust them unless they are signed and you can check them with public key in my profile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like the rest of us

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watermarks offer no defense against deepfakes, study suggests⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just fucking sign it. With your private key.

  And publish your public key.

  Then everyone will be able to verify it’s your work, and no deepfake will ever pass that test.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watermarks offer no defense against deepfakes, study suggests⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry for blowing this on you, but fuck blockchain, fuck NFTs.

  What we need is better understanding of cryptography.

  PGP has solved this problems decades ago, and crypto has just borrowed some parts, but made it worse in every possible way and into incomprehensible depths.

  Again, fuck crypto, fuck NFTs.

  I should make a guide on how to use GPG.

  Altman is a megalomanic psychopath, lying to steal even more money and break everything just to feel better about himself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone MUST be hiring for this position⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone here throwing shade…

  but I feel like a jester in every company.

  They pay me money to show up and entertain the owner/shareholder/managers shit. And I do.

  You just have a weird way of agreeing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and so may BYD. I have no idea what are you arguing for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even big companies ran gigantic losses for years, just to undercut the competition and emerge as the only winner.

  Some do it because they have other cash cows Epic store milking Fortnite), others have VC funding, like Uber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Student visa applicants will now be forced to make their social media accounts public⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so sweet that we want to act like anyone cares about our Lemmy history.

  I mean if there was anyone harasses IRL for posting here, hit me up with a link.

  But comparing Facebook to Lemmy is kind of funny.
