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?

Stanford researchers find Mastodon has a massive child abuse material problem (www.theverge.com)

Mastodon, an alternative social network to Twitter, has a serious problem with child sexual abuse material according to researchers from Stanford University. In just two days, researchers found over 100 instances of known CSAM across over 325,000 posts on Mastodon. The researchers found hundreds of posts containing CSAM related...

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

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.

The reason people advocate for GrapheneOS is that it’s a good OS.

crystal ,

Would you not call Ubuntu a different OS than Debian? And if you do, would you find it unreasonable to say that Ubuntu offers Debian app compatibility?

GrapheneOS and stock Android have a similar relationship.

Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the web (github.com)

The much maligned “Trusted Computing” idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google’s ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google’s...

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

Because SMS is severely insecure.

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

crystal ,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
