Video. We need video!

Damn, those are some cute kittens. Btw is that a Caps blanket?

Supes excited for these two:

• @carlos-cabello added a way to filter posts by title only (and not body) when searching.
• @dessalines integrated a new rust clearurls library into lemmy that will remove tracking params for any post or comment text…

Gotcha. So is Wire like, the privacy seeker’s dream messaging app? No phone number, always-on encryption, zero-knowledge servers, open source… any caveats?

Interesting. Since the CEO of Telegram was arrested in France last month, I’ve read countless threads on c/privacy about which messaging app is best for privacy, and the two names that seem to come up the most are Signal and any Matrix client (e.g. Element); however, some commenters point out Signal’s phone number requirement and I forget what the other caveats are.

I don’t recall reading about Wire in any of those threads, but at a glance it seems to check all the boxes (open source, always-on encryption, etc).

Am I missing something? Any ideas why this app wouldn’t come up in such discussions?

EDIT: Hmm, I just went back and re-read a thread from last week, and Wire is actually mentioned. Maybe I’ve just always mentally skipped over it until now.

That WaPo article was one of the top search results - thanks for clarifying. I unplugged from the news after the last election, so now I’m playing catch-up.

Shocker that Trump is a convicted fucking rapist

I’ve been living under a rock - are you referring to Trump’s civil case against E. Jean Carroll or is there a criminal case out there that’s just not showing up on the first page of search results?

Sauce? I tried searching and couldn’t find anything (at least not on the first page of results). Thanks.

Thanks for your input. I think dust is actually a common complaint with these particular controls. In my own experience, I bought these second hand, and initially the z-axis didn’t work right (the cursor’s movement was really finicky and jumped around a lot). After cleaning the sensor with some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, it’s been smooth sailing, but taking apart and re-assembling the joystick is something I’d like to avoid going forward if I can help it.

You’re right about the cost of those dust covers being a tad steep, but if I could find something for closer to $20, I’d spring for it.

I don’t use any FAST services. I know what a playlist is in like Winamp and stuff, but why/how could a playlist be considered a DMCA violation for these FAST services? I read the article, but I’m still confused.

I dunno at what school this photo was taken, but in my day, it was not uncommon for students in dorms to have mini whiteboards on their doors so people could leave messages (often in the form of specific private body parts). Mind you, I went to school before everybody had iPhones.

What I believe we’re looking at here is a photo of somebody’s (presumably Joseph Silva’s) door with a mini whiteboard and someone’s (again presumably Joseph Silva’s) contact info, which happens to be a Lemmy user.

The key word here is Lemmy, which would explain why OP shared this photo on !fediverse@lemmy.world.

Why do people use crypto for what?

+1 for PrivateBin, which has a public instance at https://privatebin.io/.

On chromecast I’ve been happy with SmartTube, which includes sponsor block and still allows me to log into YT so I get to keep my history.

In Firefox I’ve just discovered an extension called Lib Redirect, which works for YT, Reddit, Twitter, and other sites. Highly recommend.

I use a locally run open source LLM.

How? GPT4All + Llama or something else? I just started dipping my toe in locally run open source LLM.

not fine tuning a LLM to match tone and style counts as either misuse or hobbyist use

You’ve hit the nail on the head with this one. I think the other commenters are right, that a lot of people will misuse the tool, but nonetheless it is an issue with the users, not the tool itself.

I wonder how much of it is Disney thinks this might actually work versus the ole delay, delay, delay tactic. Probably a little bit of both.

Leaked how? No good practice allows any way for a password to “leak”.

Suppose a social media website has a data breach.

What rotating passwords does is ensure people who don’t use a password manager either write their password down more and more frequently, or use a weaker password with some simple changing pattern that doesn’t add anything.

Okay, but suppose I use a password manager like Keepass, then does rotating my passwords not make me any safer in the event a social media website’s data is breached and ends up being sold off on the dark web?

What’s the logic behind this statement? I would’ve thought that if a website’s logins and passwords were somehow leaked, the more often I change my password, the less likely it is for the leaked password to still be usable by bad guys based on the shorter time horizon.

I started out with Memmy and was kinda meh about it. Not bad but not great. Then I found Voyager and never looked back. As a paid Apollo refugee, Voyager makes me almost forget that I’m on a different platform from the days of yore.
