  This is (extremely obvious) vibe coded. Also client side validation for permissions and other security issues

  I would read your review of various day to day items.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon is testing easier ways to get you started in the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s odd (but believable), I think every server I ever used required a sign up to be manually approved so if you use one with open registration they may have stricter moderation for new users.

  I love your origin story so much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A remote code execution vulnerability has been found in Microslop Notepad⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a pretty good guess. They were using ShellExecute or a similar API with only "notepad” as a name or “edit” as a verb. The search order would end up finding your shortcut first.

  This would be odd behavior (the path should be be the full path and start at system32) but I don’t have IE6 and Windows 95 to find the exact API lol.

  Each instance admin decides whether they require an email. Mine doesn’t, but it’s more important to choose an instance with admins you trust and not located in the US.

  Don’t use your real email regardless of instance.

  That’s how peertube works for streaming (not storage), with P2P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Building OpenWatch: an open-source alternative to YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not federated, seemingly vibecoded, MIT. Peertube exists, not sure this makes a ton of sense as an alternative but good luck otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_pricing this kind. It’s not unusual, although I never liked it either

  I believe I used it on reddit, long ago but there were no ads. I was surprised since no other client I know of has them (and no lemmy server has ads).

  I use voyager, it’s great.

  “This is going very poorly, we will pretend to listen to our customers so it looks like we are course correcting, winning favor with investors and customers (big businesses, not home users).”

  They may even switch CEOs if the situation worsens, but the practices remain.

  Yeah they will recall their l plan soon enough

  Why does your lemmy client have ads?
