There used to be a trick where you can skip ads in youtube app by pretending to report it. i’ve used that to skip the 2x30s unskippable ads over the years, but that was patched recently.
So instead of occasionally watching ads while scrolling through comments, I’ve now opt to watch youtube in browser with UblockOrigin. And good luck to google for playing catch-22 with adblockers.
Shame that I used to have youtube in my adblock whitelist
"Take your pants off and walk outside"
I learned this fact from Vocaloid (yep the one with Hatsune Miku), which is also developed by Yamaha. They had a mechanical parts department during WW2, and it survived by switching to making motorcycles after the war.
Yea, I don’t think the original poster understands why google hurts XMMP, because by that logic once google left XMMP is also let at where it is at before google joined.
The issue with cooperations joining federation is they almost always have better infrastructure, they will siphon users out of the wider network with convenience. Then eventually they will forcibly leave the network with its users, because that makes them more money, at the cost of their user and everyone else on the network as we get less connectivity.
I don’t think you’re been harsh lol, the right to secrete ballot is literally in the universal declaration of human rights.
Open ballot is a well known method for intimidating and blackmailing participants, it’s absolutely crazy that Fedivese operates this way. But even worse, seeing so many people here supports it.
unfortunately, probably not
it has nothing to do with how the coummnities are ran or what technology/apps we have, the issue is that decentralised networks almost always have worse infrastructures compare to centralised ones. lemmy.world is already lagging quite a bit, and eventually the admins will be overwhelmed by the shear number of users.
Unless federation figures out a way to distribute load or monetize for server cost, I dont think it will become mainstream
same, and this will compound as less flossing leads to tartar build-up, which makes flossing/brushing even harder.
On another note, get a waterpick, its a life changer!
Town of Salem moment
Here I’m referring to automatic load distribution. Expecting users to actively choose a good server requires quite a bit of technical knowledge (how servers work) and effort (search and compare), thats probably not something the general public is willing to do
Quick question: is there any similar law in Australia?
I'm one of those guys, IOS phone with windows PC. There really isn't much out there that is as convenient as IOS, but theres no way I would use a Mac, as compatibility issues and more expensive hardware will ultimately hurt functionality.
I’ve been this position plenty of times. Sadly Paradox didn’t allow for beta (which allows users to play older versions)
Not sure if it’s still available, but there used to be a mod called Compatibility Checker. This mod generates a community sourced list of incompatibilities as a text file for your current install. For me its a must, especially consider my mod+asset list is well over 100 pages
iirc Yamaha was making mechanical parts in WW2, and that department survived after the war by switching to making motorcycles
e:typo
I don't use them. I see this as a putting all eggs in one basket strategy, if my master password was lost, hacked, hosting company shutdown, or for whatever reason refuse to do business with me, my entire life would be screwed.
Instead I use long passwords made of words, and for each site it will be a few letters off. They're easy for humans to remember because how similar they are, but due how hash works they are equivalent to unique passwords to hackers.
For IOS peeps: I’m using Orion browser, which supports some firefox entensions like UblockOrigin that blocks ads. Brave also works.
Downside is they’re missing a good number of features, and changing playback speed messes up the audio
Then you should know that attackers don't take your plain-text or cracked password and the start manually guessing similar codes on your other accounts, unless they are exactly the same. They always need to get a copy of your password (we'll assume its hashed), then start the guess work using a decoder.
How secure your password is to the program depend on its entropy, which depends on the password's length and possible characters. Two passwords are either exactly the same or completely different, and not how similar it "looks" to human.
Now, obviously if you make a easy-to-guess scramble (e.g. password123 becomes password123facebook for, well, facebook) then the hacker can do a custom decoder and this does compromise security. There are a lot of little tricks to avoid this, in anycase it will be secure as long as you maintain a high entropy.
if you're interested, look up how modern encryption and password cracking works. Theres really no way for me to explain why what I'm doing is more secure than a manager when you don't even know what "unique" or "random" means in encryption, let alone how to maximize them for security.
In anycase thanks for all the suggestions
Password managers holds the key to all my other accounts, where as a random poorly secured site do not. Of course I will have less trust in a password host, a compromised host means I also lose my banking and work account, but if a hacker got my free-manga.net password, well they can enjoy my shitty isekai collection for all I care.
The biggest security issue was always shared password leads to poorly secured site compromising highly secured sites, and thats why unique passwords are important. You might be thinking the change-one-letter password is similar to sharing password, but that is just not how hash works.
I’ll just finish off with a few more points
If your password is unencrypted or poorly encrypted, having a random string vs custom password makes no difference. The whole point of unique and strong password is so that a poorly encrypted service does not compromise your properly encrypted service. The scenario where my password is unencrypted is irrelevant, because only the salted hashed password matters. And because of the hash, leaking unencrypted passwords does not make the hashed ones easier to guess.
The whole issue with a manager isn’t that its bad, its that it puts everything under the one basket, even if its a hella strong basket. If you want to change my mind, you need to show the pros outweigh the cons. Straight up assuming that not using a manager somehow means anytime I have my password compromised equals everything else is compromised is not convincing, its circular reasoning.
Ignoring the fact that I’m explaining how hash works and not giving advice, if we want to be technical then yes only a slight change does make targeted attack easier. At that point password will only provide so much security, if you want to truely be safe, grade separate your username and email.
Thanks for the chat too, have a nice day
Edit: grammar
In this case its quite simple: the production process is cheap and easy enough anyone with a garage can replicate it in a week, where as flying to Korea takes weeks for visa and plane ticket and appointments scheduling
Changing even a single letter will completely scramble your password with hash, so for all intents and purpose it is equivalent to a unique password
Though I do admit it can get a bit tedious, I'll definitly look into self-hosting, thanks for the recommendation
Theres on going drama with subs going nsfw. For what I know NCD was forced to go into sfw mode, along with serveral other subs.
Good luck explaining to your advertisers why their ads are shown along side fighter jet hentai, mobnik cubes, and nuclear and dam schizoposting.
