why would those sites support ladybird if they don’t support firefox?

I don’t understand what you found, but firefox still supports the web request blocking API for Mv3 extensions, which is what ublock needs.

this is not c/privacy, but know that even when ublock lite can hide ads, it is much weaker for blocking trackers.

For MAC spoofing, just do what Apple does; randomly generate a new MAC every minute or so.

let’s hope your headphones and such are doing that too. but realistically, probably they aren’t.

Strong, secure identification would change the nature of most of these problems. It would make anonymity a choice instead of an illusion,

wrong. it would take away the choice.

The value of any given contribution is the same, regardless of whether the code was written by a seasoned developer, a neophyte as a first project, an LLM, a team of high school students learning the language, or space aliens - the code is the code, it helps or hurts exactly the same when merged with zero connection to who or what wrote it.

Caring about who or what wrote the code is applying prejudice. Prejudice works well in a lot of cases, but it’s no guarantee.

the blog post is not about who actually wrote the code, but whether it’s worth the effort to do a thorough review. if an actual person made it, then yes because they can learn from it and the world becomes a slightly better place. if it was a vibecoder just using an LLM, then explaining what needs to be done and why does not add much to.the world, but it possibly helps to make the LLM company richer

interesting. but they are still doing the project, just not reading the github issues.

actually they even disabled the issues and the pull requests, which is unfortunate because earlier discussions also become inaccessible.

sounds better than an electronic payments only dystopia tbh

this can be useful too! https://f-droid.org/packages/de.tu_darmstadt.seemoo.nfcgate

probably requires root though

Talon Voice sounds to be an interesting thing.

I think wayland developers could be further motivated to implement support for input accessibility tools by telling them it would help a lot for automation software too. Accessibility software can help the healthy users too, like in a form of a password manager that automatically fills out forms. Or like AutoHotkey or many other tools known from windows.

even about their departure from the public project.

what do you mean by that?

don’t forget my summer car

you probably shouldn’t feel that safe, because people you chat with probably do use it

Anonymity - whether or not someone can see what’s behind your door.

that’s also privacy. anonimity is whether the neighbors know who lives in your house

user error? what user error? mount a network drive, disconnect the network, then try to unmount it. best part? most programs will stall for a long time when it tries to access the directory.

that’s a different thing. if you delete a file that is still opened by a process, the space will not get freed up until that process also closed the file. until that point the filesystem still keeps track of the file, it is just not present in any directories anymore.

and what about QR code login? I think MAS is required for that

first paragraph:

They can also be done on Android, using pretty much any communications platform in existence today.

this probably relies on the gemini spyware sending all your notifications to google

The idea is that the victims will dismiss the foreign-language question as a bug or a glitch and will simply proceed as if nothing’s happened.

but sadly this is not a 0 click prompt injection

I mean… I don’t disagree but you’re arguing against somebody who is not here.

I thought it was obvious. I was arguing with you, because it seemed you were sympathizing with the user that regularly deletes their post. I was arguing that the reasons given are not good reasons. also this is not a DM, others are reading it too. evidence is you got a downvote on this comment, and it was not me. and most people lurking rarely vote.

a) Say they’re stupid and change nothing and continue to bitch about the problem or

why, what can I change?

apparently it was already fixed a year or two ago in a yet unreleased version of lemmy. so it seems a software change will not help in a reasonable amount of time.

b) Understand why they’re doing what they do and try to address it.

tried, and it makes not much sense to me. nobody is receiving live notifications from lemmy, or if they do, that’s because they use a niche client where they didn’t turn them off.

but also… starting a discussion and then not wanting to participate, so dropping a bomb… that makes no sense.

could be, I think when deleting your account there is a checkbox whether to delete all your posts abd comments
