I thought it was pretty funny.

They got suspended sentences. The author of the article didn't do their research (probably an LLM anyway).

Many who don't see the danger were not here in the 2000's. There are so many great technical achievements that were killed by microsoft, google or facebook EEE'ing the shit out of it. Remember jabber/xmpp? Yeah, both FB and Google implemented the protocol in their chat apps. Everyone was thrilled; I could use my jabber client to connext to fb and talk to my friends. Then they remembered there's not any money in that and killed the projects.

Even if it's good for the fediverse now, as soon as they realize they can make more money by not having to sync with other companies and organizations, they'll be out of here, leaving nothing behind like a swarm of locusts. The only defense is defederation.

That's correct. It's also horrible for the comments section because people hate-downvote comments they disagree with, which in turn leads to people avoiding making possibly unpopular comments. It's really hurtful to meaningful discussion.

What is it that you're doing that is still not using some form of authenticated encryption? Almost everything is https, ssh, almost all mailservers have tls support, irc does have tls support.. What's left that needs to be encrypted by a VPN?

The courts, probably. That's what they are for.

I'm not sure I agree that Void is a bottom type. If so, void-functions would never be able to return/terminate. Java's void is probably more of a unit type.

How do you know?

Sad that this article contains almost no information other than "malware attacks your ssh". Well... I guess I better buy their firewall if they're not telling me what to fix.

What's the threat model here? I can think of no DNS shennanigans that would not be detectable through the authentication mechainsms in TLS (chain-of-trust). Not having to trust network infrastructure is exactly what TLS is for.

Can anyone explain the "professional developers" percentages to me?

It's difficult to say without seeing your nixos config. Are you importing any nixos modules? Would you be able to share your configs?

Also see https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Swap In paricular:

If you are using GPT partitioning tables, systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8) will still mount your swap partition automatically.

As a tech savy person, I can confidently say lemmy is not a viable reddit alternative at this stage for an arbitrary reddit user. The UI and clients are just terrible and full of small bugs, annoyances and inconsistencies. Sure, it will eventually get there, but negative opinions about lemmy are not completely unmerrited. Just as I'm typing this, I get screen tears and flickering elements. It's just very, very bleeding edge and I can absolutely see how someone trying it for 5 minutes would be turned off. If you want to capture the masses, the user experience has to impeccable.

PS: my first try at submitting this response timed out. This is my second try.

What first party sources do you have to support your claims?

One of the main devs github, check out their essays repo. They have control over the next server and client binaries (mobile app).

What happens if they decide it's time for the revoltion?
