- Comment on Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords 5 days ago:
That would happen if you store your passwords there too…
If you’re proactive enough with your passwords to manually store them in your own vault, you can be proactive enough to not use the corporate vaults that don’t allow exporting. This isn’t a “downside” of passkeys, it’s a downside of using the built in managers.
- Comment on Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords 5 days ago:
Say you don’t understand passkeys without saying you don’t understand them…
A passkey uses public key cryptography to secure your account instead of a password, it only grants you access to the one account you set it up for, and the account provider only holds your public key, you control the private key. Your passkey is a secure alternative to passwords because you CANNOT reuse it across services, cannot reasonably remember it, and the method of using it isn’t by copying and pasting into a field like a password, so it isn’t susceptible to the same attacks.
If the provider loses your public key, they can’t give you a challenge to verify you have the private key, so you lose access. Just like if they lose your password hash. It’s an identical scenario.

Your password hashes (assuming they even hash them) already live on their servers…
- Comment on Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs 1 week ago:
Ethereum formally introduced the concept of smart contracts, and they had serious potential for modernizing financial contracts and push back an entire predatory industry of leechers, but instead it was used to create meme-coins and scam coins and ruined it all.
It’s move to proof of stake instead of proof of work dramatically reduced its energy usage, and makes it a actually scalable, but the masses lost interest when they couldn’t just make money off a few GPUs and turned to the aforementioned shit-coins built on the Ethereum network.
Ethereum is not bad, it’s one of the better ones. It’s just kind of responsible for the explosion of shit/scam coins, because people are shitty scammers.

Have you seen most YouTube videos? Nothing can hold up to the garbage content being pumped in by scammers and low effort “influencers” and shit like Mr beast or the Pauls or whatever is popular these days. We don’t need YouTube level capacity for good content.
- Comment on iSweep 1 week ago:
No it’s not, you just need one for every floor. Or just one for the dirtiest floor (with most foot traffic from outside)
- Comment on iSweep 1 week ago:
You don’t have to be so rude.
I’m sorry you leave things on the floor and have a cluttered home. I’m sorry you you have cords all over your floors. I’m sorry you have so many obstacles on your floors, like you don’t clean up your kids/pets toys and have to move them only when sweeping. I’m sorry you’re so disorganized and lazy.
But more to your point, my floors are always free of obstacles when the roborock runs, because I always pick things up and don’t leave them on the floor. Because it takes care of sweeping/vacuuming twice a day, I have the time and energy to focus on other cleaning tasks. As like you, I enjoy both having pets and a clean home, but I additionally enjoy a tidy home.

There’s a future coming where every fridge sold will come with a screen for ads, and not necessarily any other smart features.

- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 3 weeks ago:
The license behind it is not mention anywhere.
Are you lost? The overall discussion is people freaking out about FUTO’s license, that’s why this thread was made, that’s why people are upset with FUTO, that’s why they are accusing FUTO of being a capitalist corporation that wants to ruin open source, and that’s why they’re talking about backdoors being introduced to immich because it’s now under FUTO.
I’m not combative, you have a bone to pick with FUTO and are making up excuses to complain.
I simply agreed with you and explained why people are freaking out about FUTO: lack of understanding and mob mentality because of an article that says they’re bad.
I don’t have a bone to pick with FUTO, I’m simply saying people are freaking out about FUTO’s license and making up weird scenarios for what can happen to the software if it’s under FUTO because of lack of understanding. I highlighted what I think is good and bad about FUTO’s license because I seemed relevant to the discussion in the thread.
I’m agreeing with you. Immich’s source is available and REGARDLESS OF ITS LICENSE, whether it’s Open Source or Source First, you can literally see that it has no backdoors and compile it yourself.
You are being combative, and in a very weird way.
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 3 weeks ago:
last I checked you have to request the source)
So you haven’t checked… Good to know you don’t know what you’re making a strong statement about.
Then suddenly someone is knocking demanding money.
No, they don’t come knocking, because you wouldn’t be using the code in your commercial product in the first place, regardless of how small it is.
Donations are not the same thing as paid licenses, and FUTO’s license is bad because it prevents you from funding your fork. But funding doesn’t mean exploitation for profit, which is what corporations like Google do with copyleft code.
Its about the community as much about the code.
Right, community != business.
I want my code to be freely used by all in the community, and I explicitly do not want a corporation to exploit my work for their profit. That’s antithetical to the concept of community.
I’m a fan of the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0. In an ideal world, the GPL would be sufficient, but we don’t live in an ideal world, we live in an exploitative capitalist run world and they will do everything they can to profit off the labor of and destroy the community that develops open source software.
Fund the development of the code you spin with donations and foundations and whatever you want, but don’t charge for and make profit off others’ labor.
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 3 weeks ago:
This whole thread is about the FUTO license… And the fear about immich is stemming from not understanding it.
You’re being a bit ridiculous, and weirdly combative since I was not disagreeing with you at all.
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 3 weeks ago:
I said nothing about immich, the commenter you replied to seems to think because immich is under futo it’ll somehow start collecting your data. If immich was using the futo license, literally nothing will change about how we use it… People are freaking out and inventing ridiculous scenarios and they don’t understand what they’re objecting to (FUTO’s license).
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 3 weeks ago:
It’s coming from technical ignorance. There’s little wrong with FUTOs license, here are the limitations:
First the good:
You may use or modify the software only for non-commercial purposes such as personal use for research, experiment, and testing for the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious observance, all without any anticipated commercial application. You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.
Yes, good, I don’t want Google using my code to make billions.
And the not so good:
Notwithstanding the above, you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others. You may not alter, remove, or obscure any licensing, copyright, or other notices of the Licensor in the software. Any use of the Licensor’s trademarks is subject to applicable law.
Bad. If I forked and majorly modified the code by significant contribution, I don’t see why my release should have a “donate” link to the original producer and not for my efforts the donor is actually using. This is the same problem the first limitation seeks to address, but from a different angle; namely: monetizing “intellectual property” instead of work.
Copyleft is cool because it means freedom, but everyone in here fighting because code first prevents them from potentially monetizing the projects they like is completely missing the point of copyleft.
If you ask them to articulate their concern, I haven’t heard one that isn’t on the lines of “I want to be able to use this code in my paid product”…
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 3 weeks ago:
FUTO could technically scrap the current version, grab the last MIT version of the code, relicense it under their “source-first” license (or any other license they like, pretty much), and declare “this is now the official development version of Immich from which new releases will come.”
If they pulled that off, a community spinoff from that same version would become the new immich killer. Not the first time it’s happened, and the current maintainers aren’t the only ones capable of maintaining it.
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 3 weeks ago:
Everyone acting like they’ve never heard of “Free as in Freedom not as in Free Beer”
They give you the source. They let you modify it and use it, just don’t make billions off someone else’s freely available work.
How that translates to “most of their stuff is proprietary” and the one smartass that thinks it’s a good argument to say “ffmpeg doesn’t mind their code being used in YouTube, why should you?”
Until we collapse capitalism the billionaires will take our hard work and make billions off of it until they force kill our projects and replace them with proprietary closed source shit. A license that prohibits corporations from making profit off our work is A-OK.

- Comment on Huge internet outage live blog: Amazon, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max and more experiencing issues 3 weeks ago:
From a worker point of view, nothing better than to shrug and say “not my hardware” and blame Amazon when your shit is down for two days, and take the opportunity to do some changes you’ve been putting off because they required scheduled downtime.
Nobody is switching businesses because the service they pay for it’s down for a day. If you run an individual service business (restaurant, florist) sure, but no one is seriously switching businesses over this. Reliable long term self hosting is expensive and your uptick of business for that one day won’t make up for it.

You’re clowning on it by insisting the name didn’t change? Okay…
I call it x, because that highlights that the dumbass Nazi killed a very valuable brand and changed it to something dumb. I don’t call people who call it x dumb, because that’s its new name. You’re not clowning on Muskrat, you’re clowning on a random person who simply referred to content on the website x (formerly Twitter, because the dumbass Nazi paid out his ass for it to turn it into the Nazi platform X).
See my first comment here if you’re confused about where I pointed them out.
…
I said companies change names, you asked for better examples and posited that it’s still Twitter because twitter.com forwards to x.com, I provided several examples of brands changing and keeping the old domain, you deflected and accused me of making the stupid domain argument in the first place, and completely ignored your answered request for better examples.
Weird.

Where have you pointed them out?
You told me to come up with a better example, I came up with several, and they still of course have the old domains.
If it’s not a coping mechanism, what is it? What is the end game? Enlighten me…

That’s the primary domain… Twitter.com forwards to it, you do have to go to x.com, even if your browser is making that process mostly transparent for you.
Do you disagree that it’s not called Twitter anymore? Do you disagree that calling people stupid for calling it x is stupid?
The guy heiled Hitler twice on live tv and people are still using his platform because “it’s still Twitter”… It’s dumb.

I guess you will call Nike Blue Ribbon Sports because they still have blueribbonsports.com, and certainly all the cool kids still say WWF because WWE is stupid, and I remember when everyone refused to call ebay anything but AuctionWeb, and don’t forget how everyone refused to accept that Research In Motion became BlackBerry. Almost forgot how nobody called Apple Music anything but Beats Music, and the SyFy channel will always be SciFi, and Paramount+ is universally rejected as a replacement for CBS All Access… It’s not hard to come up with examples, this happens all the time… lol
It’s a brand, and it changed. It’ll never be Twitter again, it’s the Nazi platform X now, and keeping ownership of the Twitter.com domain name isn’t exactly proof Twitter is still Twitter, so much has been changed about it beyond content moderation and Nazi propaganda distribution, from content access to monetization.
I personally avoid using the Nazi platform, but feel free to continue supporting it while “making fun” of its name change like that’s consequential at all.

Once you start studying non capitalist propaganda, the idea of “intellectual property” becomes transparently harmful. Copyrights don’t protect ideas, they protect the wealth of rich people.

The stubbornness of calling it Twitter is really silly. Imagine insisting Edge is AcTuAlLy Internet Explorer, same energy.
It’s called x now, you access it by going to c.com. it’s stupid, but you need to face it and accept that Twitter and what Twitter used to be is gone.
Stop using the Nazi platform, period. This refusal to let go of Twitter and still giving Elon money and influence by continuing to use his platform while insisting you’re making some sort of statement by making fun of him and calling it Twitter is… Silly. What’s the end game?
Twitter is dead. Let it go.
