That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
- Comment on Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency 20 hours ago:
I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that Yen is this naive.
As a Proton subscriber not from the US (but who has lived in the US); I find it difficult to believe that anyone could seriously claim that any of the two major US political parties have any interest in real competition and anti-trust.
One has to remember the Microsoft case from the 90s. I still don’t understand what the “legal excuse” was for not breaking up Microsoft.
- Comment on Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits: Users will now see seven-day metrics that track active visitors and contributions instead. 3 days ago:
Subscriber count is also used in fields that cannot be sorted (e.g. when searching for a community for cross-posting).

This is an issue with Lemmy too. Searching for a community by keyword ranks the results list by subscribers not by MAUs

- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 1 week ago:
Austin is the CEO of a spyware company, while these days it’s not seen this way, it’s not too far from being a leader of a criminal organization (in my humble opinion).

Are you being sarcastic?

Monopoly money using image generation ML tech for the design. Special partnership with HP for printing these notes.

That’s the first thing that came to mind.
Some sort of scheme.
- Comment on Nepal bans social media(Facebook, X, Reddit, Mastodon, Discord, Signal, YouTube and more) for failing to register with the government; Only 7 to be open(Viber, TikTok, Telegram and more) 1 week ago:
I am curious how they are planning to ban Mastodon. I am assuming they are going to block say the top 25 instances?
- Comment on Does anyone use a VPN to subvert the Netflix household device fencing? 1 week ago:
Fair point. :)
The only reason I mentioned this is I have multiple family members who have by this point learned how to stream via bittorrent and how to use rutracker.
- Comment on Does anyone use a VPN to subvert the Netflix household device fencing? 1 week ago:
Why not just use something like rutracker.org ?
All the netflix releases are on there and vast majority of them can be streamed via bit torrent. Just select language defaults in your media player and you’re good to go.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I would have never thought of that linguistic flow. :)

What does seppo mean and in which language? It doesn’t mean anything in the languages I know.

Mental illness.
- Comment on Lumo: the least open 'open' AI assistant 1 week ago:
How so? It’s pretty clear that Proton using “open source” in context of their LLM service is demonstrated to be false.
- Comment on Is this Lemmy thread full of bots/ Fake comments? 1 week ago:
I don’t think it’s strange that a post like that would be top (in terms of comments) for the year.
- Comment on Is this Lemmy thread full of bots/ Fake comments? 1 week ago:
Considering the topic and that the Threadiverse has about 50K MAU, why do you think 5K comments is unreasonable?
- Comment on A proposal to help the Lemmy devs 1 week ago:
Hell no, why would anyone sane give money to tankie scum like the Lemmy devs?
You are better off donating to World or the Piefed developers.

American version of propaganda.

I am really hoping that PostmarketOS will become more viable.
I’ve been trying to get rid of all American service provider (dropped netflix, duolingo); smartphones are more difficult though because they need to work.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 2 weeks ago:
F-Droid would likely be out because they rebuild many apps from source.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 2 weeks ago:
I am hoping PostmarketOS or perhaps SailfishOS get some much needed momentum both from Google’s actions and the fact that a lot of people (on a relative basis) are realising that many large American companies profoundly corrupt and cannot be trusted.

True, even in the early 2000s, an application tracking your laptop locations would be treated as extremely dangerous spyware and the relevant could would be treated as a borderline criminal actor.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 2 weeks ago:
People use Android to note have such restrictions.
Something like F-Droid (which published its own builds from source) would likely not be possible with such a model.

Good point, I actually got it from another Lemmy user on the relevant thread from !android@lemdro.id.
Didn’t even think that there could be a potential risk with email harvesting.

I will transition off Android if this gets deployed, this is unacceptable.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 2 weeks ago:
I don’t buy the malware arguement. Most major social apps function like malware (tracking location and anything they can). In the 90s, any app that did that (say to your laptop) would be tested as spyware.
