  Haha don’t worry happens to all of us. I feel old too sometimes

  So just telephone cells? Okay

  Fascists have no values. They say whatever they want to further their objectives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They have no messaging, no email, no calenders, no file storage, no operating system. While the transition is definitely possible, in an abrupt event you only have maybe emergency coordinations

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While im very happy about this just like everyone else, I think it will be a struggle to get rid of the Microslop stuff. A lot of organizations would simply cease to exist if Microslop office and their Windows admin stuff would be gone right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While this is certainly a big step in their enshittification process, the restrictions from just not doing it don’t seem so bad.

  ---

  Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting.

  Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.

  Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users.

  Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know.

  Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.

  ---

  I will definitely not identify myself for them with these options. If they would implement more private methods of age authentication, maybe I would consider it, since I am currently bound to discord for a few social activities.

  That’s like saying Feuetzeug is not a real German word because it’s just the words Feuer and Zeug and it’s kinda like saying “fire thing” in Britain

  I like the German bird names much better than the goofy english ones. Blaumeise is just poetic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is sadly not easily generalizable, since a lot of people still use legacy operating systems with filesystems like NTFS, which as far as I know is not COW.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because of the old notion of “be generous in what you accept and strict in what you send”. I think the error is something about adding more parent directories so that part of your zip file will be extracted above the selected directory. Not all implementations of zip support this “feature”.

  There are also all kinds of stupid ancient features in tar and zip from a time when hard drives were measured in megabytes or less. The latest episode of the open source security podcast talks about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They can just call it American Football like everyone already does.

  NAFL or whatever, if you really need an acronym. No one calls the Bundesliga BL.

  Only one of these pictures is real, and only one system is used for space stuff in reality

  Im pretty sure that is possible on forgejo if given a specific github token. Or is it a scale problem?

  IMAP and SMTP, the protocols mainly used for emails besides whatever weird shit Microsoft is doing, nowadays all have variants going through a TLS encrypted session like HTTPS.

  That doesn’t change the fact that email is not up to the task of modern secure communication (TLS is not end to end encryption for example, and smime and pgp are super user unfriendly and have their own weirdnesses), but makes it better at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Community bindings do exist and are used over the official bindings already, and I think the source code obfuscation is just an annoyance by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be good though. Better the communities finds them and they can be patched than when only some black hats know them.

  Guess they have to write a python compiler first then.

  Thats nit my problem with it. My problem is that it’s too dynamic, especially that I can’t have proper types

  Wow really interesting news. “Nothing happened”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes a request to the thing that searches through lists of stuff (torrents-, Usenet-indexers), which then requests some downloader (like a torrenting client) to download the stuff you want.

  The whole servarr stack is pretty complicated but that also means it’s not a messy monolith.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am learning Japanese since almost 3 years now. It’s a life’s goal of mine to be able to understand the language well.

  I sometimes watch anime, I really like music by Ado, and I come across Japanese often.

  I don’t really have a concrete reason for having started. A friend of mine learned Japanese in middle school seriously which gave me the idea the first time.

  It’s safe to say that it’s a tremendous effort. You need to work on it for many years, especially if you have phases where you can’t or don’t want to learn, or work full time, etc.

  If it’s just to watch anime, probably not worth it, unless you’re a total ween maybe. I’m my case, I started learning for the sake of it because it’s kind of fun and I found more interests in Japanese after starting to understand a few things.

  Ressource wise, I’d recommend taking a look at the tofu guide to learning Japanese, that covers it much better than I could.

  Some more resources that I use and really like:

  • Wanikani (for studying the thousands of Kanji and some vocabulary with SRS)
  • Bin pro (for studying grammar and how to actually use words with SRS)
  • the Genki Textbooks (very well guided lessons, especially for Grammar. This can also be used as a basis for bunpro)
  • TokiniAndk videos (Japanese teacher, has many videos going over genki too).

  You got to be in it for the long run to be able to see any success.
