- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 15 hours ago:
Sometimes I feel embarrassed, because people see me, see that I’m female, and I worry they automatically assume I’ve got a rotting crab factory somewhere.
You can stop worrying, this never happens. Nobody is going around assuming people will probably smell like fish at normal social distances because of their sex. That’s not a thing.
Do people think vaginas in general might smell like fish, like if you go and stick your nose in one? Yeah, that’s a common factoid or comparison. But anybody who is looking at you and thinking of what your crotch might smell like at a distance of 2cm is not someone you want within 100m of you anyway.
If it really bothers you, take up some kind of smelly shampoo or perfume or something. Then you can know you are thought of as “the person who always smells like peaches” or whatever.

Isn’t that because people are canceling it for some reason? I haven’t kept up with it enough to form an opinion, but I understand a lot of people want to ditch the project over something they don’t like about the dev(s).

No?
I mean, how else are you meant to play the game actually?
I guess you could be like opening ports just to particular IPs. And you need a game that isn’t Swiss cheese that gets immediately hacked.
But like hackers don’t sort of seep in through port forwards; they need to physically identify and exploit a particular vulnerability.
- Comment on ai generated logo 2 weeks ago:
The generators don’t give you source files or vector images or anything with layers, just (probably 90 dpi) raster images. If you want to get rid of an image element you need actual practice to do anything other than scribble over it.
- Comment on purely basedbon vibes 3 weeks ago:
It looks like they ginned them up from relevant specs they stuffed in and and the model’s latent knowledge of QEMU VirtIO and the absurd GPU-managed system architecture that is the Pi.
The models have seen several IP stacks before, plus many copies of the Linux, BSD, etc. source trees.
It’s not actually hard to write a network stack, just tedious.
Unfortunately, the talking horse’s OS hasn’t bothered with syscalls and lacks any notion of memory protection, and has a terrible userspace API which e.g. puts waiting for a ping response entirely in kernel.
* Programs call kernel functions directly - no syscalls needed. * Win3.1 style!
Usually people don’t manage to produce an entire operating system without knowing why this is a bad idea.

I’ll chime in that posting to a community with about 12 subscribers is not very fun. But then that’s why we have vigorous cross-posting.

- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 1 month ago:
You have methods that amount to making yourself an online job, or an offline job with a lot of online communication (independent software contractor, commission artist, author, sex worker, online course teacher, Etsy knit hat manufacturer, etc.).
You also have various flavors of capitalism, which may not count, as you did say “legitimate”. But if you already have ten million dollars, you can spend lots of time researching stocks and evaluating pitches for businesses and maybe get a better return than you would otherwise, all online.
And then you have merchanting, wholesaling, or furniture-flipping type approaches: buy stuff online, refurbish it or repackage it in smaller quantities, translate all its documentation correctly, vouch for its quality and fitness for purpose, take nice photos of it, market it, sell it, deliver it, and support it.

I don’t think ActivityPub is set up for one server storing and forwarding a whole feed of everything, like Usenet. Right?
- Comment on idk abbout this one discord 1 month ago:
It might work though. They keep making laws about using “commercial databases” but they never say you actually have to pay for them.
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 1 month ago:
But you can, in fact, be too careful. Availability is one arm of the security triad.
If whatever complex configuration you have set up to avoid exposing something to the Internet is incompatible with something and what you wanted to do can’t be done, or if you look and see that setting all that up would be too hard and don’t bother to expose the service at all, then your security posture is incorrect because your service is just as unavailable as if someone else broke it.
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 1 month ago:
That certainly sounds like a thing you would want, nay need, to fix.
- Comment on How I discovered a hidden microphone on a Chinese NanoKVM 1 month ago:
It could probably change the language selector.
If I’m an elite hacker spy who works for the hacker spy division of the Chinese army, am I going to change the system language of the thing I am hacking to Chinese and forget to change it back?
- Comment on How I discovered a hidden microphone on a Chinese NanoKVM 1 month ago:
Mostly so they could say they did.

The first like three or five episodes of Discovery are basically a different show than the rest . And a couple seasons in they change the whole premise and it’s a different show again.
- Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? 2 months ago:
I don’t think there can be that high a density of fascists. sh.itjust.works just voted overwhelmingly to defederate some kind of MAGA nonsense instance. Mostly it seems like nice folks overhere who know fascists are bad news.
It might be full of individualists with no grounding in Marxist theory, of the type that much annoyed Vladimir Lennin. I couldn’t tell you because of my poor grounding Marxist theory, and I don’t see that as a problem because of my individualism.
- Comment on Why do I always have "dreams" that give me anxiety (aka: nightmares)? Why do I never just get to re-live my happy memories in my dreams? Wtf brain?!? This is outrageous! It's unfair! 2 months ago:
I think it has something to do with your brain playing both sides of the dream. You are coming up with how to react, but you are also at the same time coming up with what happens next. So if you dream a lion and you are like “uhoh, what if the lion tried to chase me, that would be a problem, I’d have to run away,” then you’re now dreaming about a lion that is chasing you and how you are running away.

Wait you can not only in some sense see a-cat-on-your-hand when imagining that, but also see an imaginary cat on the hand you are actually seeing???
Do you then not see the stuff behind the cat while you are imaging the cat to be in the way???
- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 2 months ago:
I have a little more of the seeing, but I also want to reach for your ghost metaphor. Imagining a tree for me is a little like seeing a tree, but quite a bit more like having just seen a tree.

- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 months ago:
The graphics stack is better, but the security isolation is IMHO solving a problem no one really had, at the cost of breaking a bunch of integration mechanisms people actually used.
You want UI security isolation for something like Android, where most software being run is fundamentally opposed to the interests of the user and wants to steal anything not nailed down, and you also contain things at the file system level. If Facebook could screenshot every other app all the time it absolutely would, and people would download it anyway. To some extent the enforceable promise that it can’t do that is why people are still willing to download it anyway and let it do all the other things it does to compromise a system.
In a distro shipping legitimate software, isolation at the desktop UI level is nice for defense in depth, but not really drawing a real security boundary around any program to the point where a user can trust a machine with malicious software running. It doesn’t matter if I can’t steal Firefox’s pixels if I can
