crystal , to fediverse in UI Idea for one-click Lemmy account migration

A. If you want to hop you can already just create a new account. What’s the issue with taking ownership of your posts with you?

B. Just migrate the salt, too. A server can have per-user salts, which may be migrated together with the hash.

C. If you already have control over someone else’s account, what additional benefit does migrating serve?

That’s not the point. Yes, child porn sites can host child porn. Other sites/instances can’t stop that. But what other instances can stop, is redistributing said child porn. And for that purpose, such technology would be useful.

You moved the period in the wrong direction. It’s 0.034462%.

crystal , to technology in Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the web

Governments like the EU do not just regulate to gain power. No need to spread disinformation just so you can be more pessimistic.

Signal messages are (verifiably) end to end encrypted. That means no one other than the sender and receiver can read their contents. You don’t have to rely on Signal’s integrity, since Signal is (verifiably) unable to read the messages’ contents.

Because SMS is severely insecure.

Use Signal, it’s secure and isn’t spyware.

The one thing that stops me from using NewPipe is not seeing answers to comments.

It’s such an important feature but it’s simply missing.

Until that’s added I don’t think NewPipe will be an option for me.

crystal , to linux in What is your go-to Linux distro and why?

I use NixOS on my main PC.

If you want to use NixOS, you have to be willing to read.

Two things are especially difficult:

Coding: You will have to learn the Nix-specific way for everything you do. How does Nodejs work in NixOS? How does GCC work in NixOS? How does my IDE work in NixOS?

Using unofficial packages: The nix repos are very large and you’ll most likely find everything you need there (or on flatpak/flathub). But if something isn’t there, the easiest way tends to be packaging it as a nix package yourself. And that’s something many people probably don’t want to do.

The coding thing is annoying enough that I may switch away from NixOS at some point.

Other than that, NixOS is great.

crystal , to technology in The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training

The browser is highly performant, contains (nearly) all necessary (usability and privacy) features and is suitable for beginners.

The search has a nice interface that is usable without javascript, has an onion site and should be low on telemetry. It also (in my opinion) has the best search results after Google. And these search results are Brave’s own results, not just resold Bing results; so they’re actually bringing real competition to the search engine market.

If you care about brainless animals, you might as well care about plants.

crystal , to linux in Red Hat: why I'm going all in on community-driven Linux distros.

For most users pretty GUIs are far more important than the latest security updates. (And even if they weren’t, Fedora offers both.)

crystal , to youshouldknow in YSK alternatives to imgur for uploading your images

Aren’t other file/image hosts just as vulnerable to DMCA takedowns? I mean, they have to comply with their host country’s law, too.

Works for me too now. Seems like they fixed it.

It works on Chromium browsers. It does not work on Firefox.

Interesting to see even Mozilla apparently testing their websites only on Chromium.
