- Comment on Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive” 1 week ago:
That’s shitty times thar you have to use tools for pirating like torrent, Usenet to share big files . For smaller ones even email providers have bigger limits at least 15 megabytes
- Comment on Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now? 1 week ago:
Yes, different generation. I didn’t write OLD or ELDERLY. Yes, we grow older - accept it or not :-)
- Comment on Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now? 1 week ago:
The user base has changed. Before it used to be used by young people willing to share their parts of lives, exchanging f.e. studying material Now it is used by mostly older people (over 30) having family not willing that much to share anything from their lives except from talking to their relatives over the messanger.
So who creates the information today? I guess bots and sometimes some facebook groups but I noticed that facebook shares your group posts to absolutely not related people to that group.
Including your mum and sister, the posts related on smoking weed and going to techno parties.
Young people (Gen-Z) don’t use facebook pretty much at all. Sometimes maybe messanger because of their family

- Comment on Climate scientists flee Twitter as hostility surges 2 weeks ago:
Exactly, the title is as at least misleading. They mention only on scientist with not that Cristal clear reputation. X is wild west of astroturfing but at least it’s better to be honest

The same Peter Gleick caught on forging documents to prove his point Image

- Comment on Uber drivers in Kenya are ignoring the app and charging their own rates. 2 weeks ago:
Uber needs to show the car plates and allow to block drivers by car plates. This is the only way
- Comment on Studios are cracking down on some of the internet’s most popular pirating sites 2 weeks ago:
Honestly most of the modern movies are so bad that even nobody will most likely want to pirate them
- Comment on Threads Enables Fediverse Replies 2 weeks ago:
Embrace, extend, extinguish. Irc ( slack ), jabber ( google talk, facebook messages, hip chat), Usenet and Google groups. Just to name few
- Comment on Matrix let-down 3 weeks ago:
Yes, while desktop is mostly working well, other clients are far from being usable. I totally agree with this and choices of matrix foundation are not making it any better imo. Their inventing “new features” and not polishing current ecosystem, is not a best strategic choice
- Comment on Questions about the safety of Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving' system are growing 3 weeks ago:
Everybody knows that tesla sacrificed lidar sensors with cameras because it was cheaper. Yes, lidar can do it easily
- Comment on Matrix let-down 3 weeks ago:
Which client do you use? Desktop is the best working, second android element slow and laggy but fullest implementation so far, worst are element x which they created only to test still draft phase feature speeding up syncing but otherwise half backed. There is no other third party clients which would be significantly complaint with the protocol
- Comment on Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app? 3 weeks ago:
No, it’s not the rule itself. It’s rather an advice not to do as rolling own crypto is very tricky and complicated thing. You have to be very aware of many possible attacks, how they do work, to create own crypto properly

Photography manipulation existed almost since the invention of photography. It was only much harder see the famous photo edition history.com/…/josef-stalin-great-purge-photo-reto…
- Comment on European Commission cuts funding support for Free Software projects 3 weeks ago:
It’s informal way of transferring the money. You give your money to Hawalardar which contacts the Hawalardar in the destination country. That person gives back the money minus fee which you pointed out or any person who knows the code. It works like money transfer but outside the formal payment system. That’s why it’s hated by most governments in the world. In many countries it has names like in China “flying money”

Nah, she knew about his husband and Epstein ( and his at least strange occupation ) far lower than she’s wiling to admit.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 3 weeks ago:
I know this but they can break it as well if they do remove it not only hide it ( class ids ). For me it’s plain as the new windows settings are dead slow and it won’t be usable if your computer is under very heavy load. Only cmd, maybe powershell and maybe sys internals will be what’s left for you

Millions flies cannot be mistaken. Democratic mob cannot be mistaken. Mobs have never lynched anybody. How ignorant you are in your ego with your “whining” argument
- Comment on European Commission cuts funding support for Free Software projects 4 weeks ago:
The email plugins for various clients make it easy to mistakenly think you’re sending an encrypted email.
Ok. Now I know what’s the issue but this is not the problem with gpg. Nah, gpg integration with thunderbird is so flawless that it clearly says when it’s encrypting when not. Also you can see the raw email content and then you see whether it’s plaintext or ciphertext. I’m using thunderbird with gpg very often so I know how it works nicely with gpg

Thunderbird + kleopatra? K-9 + OpenKeyChain ( android )? Where did you have issues?

Well, they still can’t underfund gnu privacy guard :-) It’s pretty much already finished product and working pretty well.
- Comment on Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results 4 weeks ago:
We can, closed communities with some effort to enter the group. I pretty much ditched most main stream social media and use what it used to be mailing lists and discord servers. It’s not about technology. Internet and access used to be simply exclusive and we have to create exclusive channels to communicate about f.e. arts, history, technology or even occult where there is no “free riders” with no knowledge. That’s what I mean and this may happen imo. Quality over quantity
- Comment on Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results 4 weeks ago:
That’s actually a good news. Maybe we’re able to revert the internet to the times before the Eternal September happened
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s better to present a valid point against somebody’s statement than straight down voting without giving a reason “just because don’t like him”. I think it would create positive discussion environment in lemmy. We are here after all to exchange ideas on lemmy. Aren’t we?
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 4 weeks ago:
Yes, exactly my thoughts on this. Downloading is only a measure of crows censorship based on opinion popularity. If you see some trolls, just block them but don’t hide their posts for other ones who may think on that person views otherwise
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 4 weeks ago:
It’s vice versa. In the old good times there was a saying “don’t feed the troll”. Just block him. Downvoting is just a cheap solution for people who cannot justify their argument.

Ok

Exactly, if you see troll, just block him and declare “damnatio memoriae”. It works exactly like this in fms usenet like forum for old freenet / hyphanet. You can even subscribe block / allow lists ( -100 to 100 weight lists ). In my opinion, it’s very good mechanism
