The weak argument they make is this doesn’t look good at small sizes. Personally I don’t think that constitutes a good enough reason to rebrand the fediverse

I am also @Quill7513@slrpnk.net, but this is my primary and more active account. The slrpnk.net account is for ecology and lemmy.world stuff

Only reason I unblocked them was in case I needed to refute their claims anywhere. Suffice to say though, for anyone reading this, a good rule of thumb is if Possibly Linux says it, decent chance its untrue
Sure yeah. I think corpos suck, too. That’s why I don’t prefer 1password. But Firefox puts their passwords into a file, too (two actually). Key3.db and Logins.json, both with known locations, and encrypted using AES-256-GCM which is… Decent but I prefer to go a little more hardened. The thing with keepass is the following:
But I want to make it abundantly clear. @Dyskolos@lemmy.zip has not recommended storing your passwords in a file. They have suggested storing your passwords in a mechanism that can be as secure as your hardware is capable of securing and keeping the location of that up to your own decision making.
But also. Promise me this. If you’re going to keep using Firefox as your password manager:
Correction: yes it will. Source: that’s how I installed it

No.
Cover the G logo with a pop socket or some shit. No one will give enough of a shit to desire your phone. Buying used always denies OEMs sales so its always good to buy used
Using the internet without an adblocker is genuinely dangerous. Everyone really should be using uBlock Origin. Using a web browser that prevents uBlock Origin puts you in danger
I wonder if its because Beehaw is staying on 18.x while awaiting Sublinks
Lionir is talking about API implementations for everything to go off a single CSS file or a single icon pack. Not about the implementation of your personal desired aesthetic (I refuse to use the term rice, it has origins in racist car and motorcycle culture)
If you use a deterministic password manager, make sure you make your master password strong
In-built password managers for browsers are straightforward to crack. Like… Terrifyingly easy. It’s much better to use something like Bitwarden, Vaultwarden if you don’t trust Bitwarden, 1Password if you really want the reassurance of paying someone for trust, or KeePass if you don’t trust anyone at all (I, personally, fit into this category).
Messengers are not protocols. They use protocols. Most XMPP clients use the same encryption scheme Signal does only without being dependent on a single specific server, allowing users to spread out. I recommend reading about the differences between targeting developing a platform and developing protocols. Once you do, you’ll see XMPP+Encryption in a better light than anything like Signal. The main problem in the current moment with XMPP+Encryption us that it isn’t where the people are. Us tech weirdos can start the push into that space a little bit, but we need “Normies” to adopt to, and for that we need to be clear on what were talking about. Comparing XMPP to signal doesn’t make sense. Comparing Cheogram to Signal does. And in the latter, cheogram frankly blows Signal out of the water for real privacy and security considerations
I immediately had my suspicions this article might contain some bullshit when I saw it was published by the new oil…
It was good! I really enjoyed it
Yeah. I didn’t pull down my comments when I left, but the oldest ones from 2010-2012 are real fucking wrong-headed. That’s while I was still in college and hadn’t learned yet that the real messaging about how the world works was
That was the era frat rap was not just allowed to exist, but with some regularity got mainstream popularity. The great irony is two big names from that space, Asher Roth and Mac Miller went on to do some really thoughtful and insightful work, and I think their journey of awakening to the harm their privilege did is what a lot of us went through. Like. I don’t think the majority of us were thinking enough about the importance of countercultural music movements. Now google and reddit get to be the kings of that toxic outdated way of thinking.
The bad news is… That toxic outdated way of thinking benefits them. And now they’ll have a big data model that can post real seeming messages and amplify those shitty takes a lot of us grew out of
Well. I mean. Look who heads Twitter
Hardware specs were too constrained for regular daily use. The software updates are always way behind schedule, and the company is too small to support their warranty (I really do think they’re doing their best to do what’s right, but they’re just super slow on turnaround for support)
I only know about Fairphone and Teracube. Having owned a Teracube I recommend not getting a Teracube
Then more of us should get ourselves on those lists. We should make the lists useless by way of flooding them
Yeah which if that’s the argument we’re having… I kinda don’t want to give people that dumb any influence. The fediverse symbol is not a pentagram and if the rainbow giving gay people visibility is somehow wrong, then… Fuck me I guess because I’d rather make gay people comfortable than a bunch of folks who’ve fallen down some manner of christofascist rabbit hole
