Under the latest plans, tech companies would need to notify the British government before rolling out a security fix but might be refused permission if it blocks a vulnerability that’s being exploited by security services…
I suppose these days it's cheaper to find some half baked vulnerability and pray it lasts a while instead of just adding back doors in the devices
I look at it this way: it sucks, but it's not surprising - it's expected. There's no reason for them to cater to the users, because that's not how these things work. The people who made this decision
(a) mostly care about money
(b) were obviously willing to lose the favor of Reddit's users for money
(c) have built a platform who's monetization model has become somewhat at odds with what made Reddit good in the first place
(d) are probably going to succeed in making money from Reddit
It's sad, it really sucks. But, there's nothing we can really do about it, apart from things like post memes mocking Spez or making subreddits go "dark".
Neither of those are long term solutions.
I'd rather we moved on and let it go, tbh. We could be doing a lot more

Garbage
Don't we want these big platforms to adopt ActivityPub?
No. We don't. The more hands they have in the fediverse pie, the more influence they have over it. The more influence they have, the more control. The more control, the more at the whim of their decisions you are. The more at the whim of their decisions, the more power they have over you.
This should be common sense at this point.
Where is the incompetence? His competency is dependent on making money for a specific few.
It has nothing to do with the outcome of the site, beyond how that outcome influences said making of money.
If the shareholders cash out happy and the site dies out, he did his job, regardless of whether or not you think that's fair.
Yes, it sucks for the rest of us who liked Reddit. I am one of those people.
Saying this guy is incompetent just because his interests go against the interests of people who use Reddit is ludicrous.
The interests are in conflict, it sucks. That's it. We have Lemmy. Get over it.
Ultimately the fediverse is still an experiment. It clearly works, and in isolation many of the services (Lemmy, Matrix, etc.) work well enough on their own.
I'm not optimistic about anything at this point. The fediverse might die; it might not.
There could be huge incentives for them to convert Mastodon users over to Threads, based on their internal analytics, in which case the headache would be worth it.
Meta won't be dead anytime soon, but it's clear that they've made some risky plays, which means their decisions are going to continuously be less risky.
WinRAR was what I used in the 2000s. Around 2011, 7-zip was my goto. I haven't looked back since.
I wasn't aware of pea-zip until this thread
Yeap. It's a sad thing. And it only contributes to more polarization, which is fucking terrible.
Not only that, but with Dems it's all morphine.
The cancer is terminal.
It goes both ways. Reddit has a lot of retardation associated with it, so there's a part of me that agrees with this take.
In the end, if the company wants to screw their users over, they obviously can. Whether or not enough of the userbase will jump ship is dependent on how much of them actually care. There are alternatives, and we're free to use them.
I jumped ship. Can't complain, lemmy seems pretty chill.
From civillians getting bombed, to this, to soldiers expecting to die as they lay in trenches outside of their cities being burned.
And then you have the civillians inside Russia who are brave enough to protest against the war, but at what cost.
It's depressing.

Enjoy it while it lasts, and don't get too attached.
It's an inevitable aspect of what happens when the Internet is commercialized.
Yeah, that's a plausible outlook.
He'll just cash out and fuck off somewhere. Lol
Man, they're attacking telescopes now. What a shitshow
Lol. It wouldn't make a dent.
Truth is the people shouting "fuck Spez" is a small minority.
Everyone knows about Reddit. Not very many are that invested to care.
but if it starts to be used to censor information and rate humans, that's the line.
That line has already been crossed. Since it's already been crossed, it's inevitable that this will be used in that way.
It's definitely good, but it isn't full proof. Nothing is.
"nuh-uh-uh, you didn't raise my pay"
You better start thinking about it.
This. Even Lemmy could technically get fucked over
Seriously. At this point it's becoming delusional; the idea that TPA users have any impact on the outcome of the site as a whole is ludicrous.
Be glad Lemmy exists and move the fuck on.
Nothing new here.
Same old shit.
They're gonna do what they're gonna do.
There will be ways around it.
The way the hack was utilized is honest very creative and interesting;
That's often the case with exploits.
bro
It's beginning to feel all bad at this point, yeah, I agree.
They'll save a lot of money, but (a) the cost isn't worth it and (b) it's just totally assenine logic that takes a dump on the idea of a government's existence having any sense of meaning that goes beyond serving the interests of the wealthy.
What decade are you from, dude?
How does that make them dumb? If anything, the fact that they're indifferent to it just means they have other priorities in life.
TPA users were like 3% of the site, dude.
100% agree. It flags infractions, you have people verify what was being flagged, due course follows.
There is the potential for federation to grow massively with the injection of billions from big tech.
Sure, of course it would grow. But at what cost? And then who effectively owns it in the end? There's an inevitable outcome - one that you apparently aren't aware of.
Yes, IME.
Has that been proven to allow this type of access where they can enable the webcam or microphone without user permission?
It can read from your memory. It has access to the PCI bus. It runs in ring -3. Apparently it also runs MINIX.
It can operate without you being aware of what it's doing.
So, yes.
Running a virus scan wouldn't be enough
No, those can be bypassed. If your kernel is what's infected, then it's probably not going to find anything either.
Scanners are useful, but what they can look for is limited.
Both Intel and AMD have backdoors created in their chips.
Enjoy it while it lasts, and don't get too attached.
It's an inevitable aspect of what happens when the Internet is commercialized.
Lol.
Guess it's my turn
What's stopping someone from scraping lemmy.world and creating another archive site?
Hey, I hope it dies too. Reddit sucks.
It really could go either way at this point though.
wew
No. We don't. The more hands they have in the fediverse pie, the more influence they have over it. The more influence they have, the more control. The more control, the more at the whim of their decisions you are. The more at the whim of their decisions, the more power they have over you.
This should be common sense at this point.
