Without the traditional distribution workflow […]
You are aware that the xz exploit made it into Debian Testing and Fedora 40 despite the traditional distribution workflows? Distro maintainers are not a silver bullet when it comes to security. They have to watch hundreds to thousands of packages so having them do security checks for each package is simply not feasible.
I wonder if that means it could be combined with DXVK to enable support on older DirectX versions as well. ^^
The easiest way to block an auto-upgrade to Win11 is to just disable TPM in the BIOS. That way Windows will see the PC as not Win11 compatible and not perform the upgrade.
Looks interesting, I’ll check it out, thanks :D
YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that “no” is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from
into
I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
(and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)
Works for Firefox on Android. On iOS you can set Firefox Focus your “Content Blocker” which essentially is also just a weaker form of ad blocking.
yup, speeds are just reds that trigger earlier basically ^^
This. I hate the whole left/right tribalism.
Like I know that it can be used to get a rough idea of what political motivations someone might have and I know that where my own ideologies would mostly fall in that inaccurate one-dimensional linear spectrum but ultimately it is too inaccurate to use it to classify everyone’s political motivation.
Worse it creates a whole us-vs-them divide. “Oh you aren’t right, when then you must be a commie”. “Oh you aren’t left, then you must be a fascist”. So you might consider yourself in a different position on a political spectrum and just see the differences to someone on the other end of a political spectrum even though you might have more in common then you think. Heck, if you are on complete opposite ends you might even have more in common then you think.
Ultimately, the focus should be less on left/right and more on individual policies. Like should healthcare be public or privatized, should be build another road or another train track here, etc
Why does political debate always have to turn into this tribalistic mud fight instead of proper discussion on how to best address the needs of citizens?
You think they would have just repurposed the page that asked if you if you were over 18 before going to a nsfw subreddit for this task, but old.reddit.com seems completely overlooked as of now.
Doubt it was overlooked. I moderated a larger subreddit and I can tell you that the stats for old.reddit are tiny compared to the rest so it’s not worth the cost of implementing. Further if you use old.reddit you probably already have a dislike for the app and will rather abandon the content then install the app. Finally old.reddit is used more by old-school redditors which tend to be the vocal minority that will complain about the change the loudest. So overall, ignoring old.reddit is propably the smarter decision from reddits perspective… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We should add awards to lemmy :,)
Honestly just switch to a manufacturer that provides security updates for longer periods of time. My iPhone 5S, released nearly 10 years ago and is still getting them. Fairphone is another great example.
Noticed quite an increase in bot posts over on r/titanfall to the point where a retired mod wanted to return to their position to help deal with it. Given that I’m kinda moving away from Reddit I gave them their position back so that I can start moving on.
Definitely my iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit. Cost like 70€ but I’ve repaired dozens of devices with it which otherwise would’ve gone to waste. Based on that it easily saved me more money than it cost :D
However, I don’t fully understand this part:
there should be an easy way to also access that information in the front end to indicate to the user that what they up/down vote is in fact not private.
But it’s true that my brain today doesn’t really want to work. You mean by some kind of API call can reveal these information?
Basically what I meant is some way for the user to see who up/down voted what. Maybe hovering the up/down vote button shows a field you can click on that say votes or something and that then redirects you to a different page that shows who upvoted and downvoted that specific post/comment. The exact details don’t really matter. My point was basically that if something is accessible but only via hidden means that are not obvious to the end-user, they may wrongly assume that information is private. So by making it easily accessible to end-user, you also clearly indicate that that information is publicly accessible ^^
Why would you want to show all information stored on the frontend?
I’m gonna start out by saying that I don’t know how lemmy’s federation code works. So if I host another instance and federate do I only see the upvote count or also who upvoted? Cause if the only person that can see the count is the admin of the instance the user belongs to, then there’s no need to show it in the frontend. If however all you need to do to see upvote count of all lemmy users, is to host your own lemmy instance, then there should be an easy way to also access that information in the front end to indicate to the user that what they up/down vote is in fact not private.
So for me whether up/down voting is private is less of an issue as long as it’s clearly communicated. Again if only the instance admin the user is part of can see the count, then that’s essentially “private” as you are trusting that entity already ^^
I meant more in regards to the naming, not the rules themselves ^^"
Should we do something similar to reddiquette in lemmy? Lemmyquette?
Any plans on moving to a different platform like lemmy here? Or is it something that might just happen organically?
Personally I like the custom CSS each subreddit could apply but to each their own I guess.
Aren’t AppImages still limited to Xorg?
Also there’s no centralised update mechanism or dependency deduplication, no?
