I don't care about tech philosophy. The software needs to work well. Show me an IRC network operated with the same ease of use and security as discord and I will use it provided others are on it as well. You people like your lemmy, mas

You can probably sign up for azure without 2fa and use azure devops or just host gittea somewhere. If you get a yubikey, it's very convenient to use. Your password manager can't protect you from phishing attacks. As someone who ha

The whole thing with freenode-> libera and now this has been a shitshow to say the least. I am glad some communities are moving to discord where things are stable and reliable. Instead of implementing proper registration process for exam

Not really, they won't kill other Nazis. If you mean Nazis would kill anti-nazis, yeah, of course, either you are a nazi or you are anti-nazi, america killed and defeated nazis so we are anti-nazi and we should kill them because they w

Stupid things? Sure, nazi things == you die. Threatening violence gets you jail time already. Agreeing with Nazi views should be fine, calling yourself a nazi, organizing neo-nazi groups, displaying symbols and speech with intent to further

The US really needs an anti-nazi law similar to germany. If we can't kill them outright, lock them up. I fully support outlawing nazis, and any other groups that support mass genocide of fellow citizens and armed insurrection/civi

What are some good ways to automate getting all the latest torrents based on some patterns? Also, are private trackers still a thing? What are some good ones? I had access to a good invite-only tracker but lost it ages ago.

They can do much profit by silently tampering court records. They know state govs don't pay ransom anyways.

This (dns) approach does not authenticate. SRV and TXT records already publicize too much information to the public. A RESTful api would be ideal or adding the equivalent of bearer token auth to DNS.

Cash should be a fundamental right. It is more important than the right to bear arms because without cash the payment system can be used to regulate that right to bear arms by proxy as well as speech (see companies being cancelled by credit

In my experience, people abuse flattery too much so it is hard to tell if their positive opinions of me are genuine and with merit. Generally speaking, I try to see the big picture and realize no matter how well I do, in a more global sense

But when you use any messaging app they show your nick (and signal lets you set your name), the natural assumption which I too had was that phone numbers are used for sms only to invite others but on singal my name/nick is used like

by _8j50 3y ago
No, that's the deception of signal. The general population is already using other identifiers like whatsapp and viber numbers (which almost every country outside the US use even more than sms). Signal refuses to opt-out of phone number

And those people assume their phone number will not be revealed to random contacts and their contacts! A phone number on its own is PII! It is in some contexts more dangerous than knowing your drivers license or social security number. What

by _8j50 3y ago
Bullshit! When you compromise the phone of someone you find out the phone numbers of everyone they talked to. I won't even get into how signal can abuse this willingly or against their will. Signal is no better than just using imessage
