Now that Web Environment Integrity is shut down, Reddit decides to take matters into their own hands..

Psst,

didn't they like... scrape everyone's open source code for an ai and then gatekeep that shit to their own infra?

You download a copy of a photo I took to your computer.

I have a website that lets people see the photo, it's a popular website

Except that photo on my website doesn't point to a copy of that photo on one of my computers, it points to the copy on yours.

Millions of people visit my website, and each time they do, they download your copy of my photo.

Uploading that photo to millions of computers across the world fucks up your internet service. You could also switch out my photo for another one, maybe even an offensive one,, but my website would still point visitors to it.

In the original post, this is what a multibillion dollar corporation, a bank, did to a not-for-profit service that keeps a historical record of the internet.

I hinted at the security implications of what happened, but explaining that would make the analogy too complex.

Drinking game: click on a random username in the comments section and take a shot every time they start talking out of their ass

My account doesn't count (although I am flattered, weirdo)

Can I just enjoy a fuckin game without being browbeat on DEI garbage?

The article is about sloppy journalism, not what you, personally, are allowed to enjoy, you illiterate fuckhead.

It is a selfish and short view of the world.

Empathy, cognitive, emotional, compassionate, comes more naturally to some individuals than to others.

What you see here is someone who may not understand the situation and its consequences, or has trouble forming a connection with the people impacted by the situation. But the compassion does show, they're reaching out, asking questions, trying to understand.

I don't think that's a sign of a selfish or short-sighted person.

i already learned how to use my operating system, now you're telling me I have to learn 30 new libraries that do the exact same shit?

It's a bit of an ordeal on the server-side of things if you don't know what SELinux does. These days "is SELinux fucking something up?" is a regular on my troubleshooting list, though.

i wanna see u try use a vanilla profile

Here's the article Psychology Today references, which delves into the methodology of the research.

Here's the original paper

git commit -m "directory_x:file_i.so: did x, y, and z; directory_x:file_ii.so: fixed t"

I nominate itch to cannibalise the fucker

what the fuck

Fair, although explaining a potential vector for a hypothetical XSS attack and its implications to someone who doesn't know what Javascript is sounds like information overload

I went on a trawl on email security and privacy.

It doesn't fucking exist.

Regular mails w/e sure

But I'm never talking to someone via email again.

Android with play services*. Degoogled phones are dumb as rocks and some people like em that way

I'm thinking of leaving lemmy, too.

Information is worthless without context, but that's all that content aggregators seem to like.

Community is worthless without connection, anonymous text isn't much to connect over.

All Reddit had going for it was a wealth of diverse experiences for people to draw from. For Lemmy, this is at best a side dish, a sprinkle of gold over a pile of shit.

witness.

Hi, fruux.com is what you're looking for.

Most email services allow you to forward mail to other addresses, and download all your mail to move it to another provider.
