Am I the only one that has noticed the massive increase in buggy software across almost every domain? Like, EVERYTHING has so many more bugs now. Things just break constantly. AI isn’t one shotting fixing bugs, it’s one shotting making hundreds of new ones.

the amount of people that do not understand how big of an improvement passkeys are is really saddening. They think that somehow these tech companies are utilizing this in some nefarious way, rather than the very very simple explanation that … tech companies don’t want to be responsible for more breaches.

Passkeys are so simple and such a huge improvement that it’s literally all upsides and no downsides. Either you use their passkey managers like you would their password managers and it’s safer for them, or you use your own password manager with passkeys in it and it’s still safer for them.

You have a vast misunderstanding of why passkeys aren’t transferrable or usable outside of those providers. It had nothing to do with lock-in, but because every implementation was different. And no, you do not ‘depend on the site’ to let you use that option instead of a major provider. There’s a standard now and everyone is following it. If you can use a passkey you can use your password manager to manage that passkey.

Not unique to you. Been using Github every day for over 15 years and it wasn’t until I started using Refined Github that it was easy to find the releases page. Horrific design.

I’ve only partially read over you wrote and am heading into the mountains on vacation, but I will try to read over what you’ve written here sometime this weekend.

Yeah it’s super weird, if you go to a specific forum for help, like cachyos or bazzite, the community is bearable, and sometimes very helpful without being rude. But if you go to a general forum and state you’re having any issues with Linux you’ll be downvoted to hell and told Linux is still better than windows.

Yeah defining an announcement of something as its birthday is weird. I’m also biased on this, cause it came out on my birthday.

It blocks access to the link on your site. For example, on programming.dev people have uploaded CSAM. The links are immediately blocked (e.g. no one can get to them except an instance owner actually looking in the pictrs database) and then in the CF dashboard you get a notification with the link to the webpage it occurred on.

CSAM blocking works based on a known agreed upon, shared hash list which is created by a consortium of large tech giants. If novel CSAM is uploaded to your instance, then yes, it will fail to catch that. db0’s plugin might catch it though. LLM blocking doesn’t have the benefit of a bunch of multi billion dollar companies trying to stop it, in fact they’re doing the exact opposite, so yes LLM blocking sucks.

For your edit, I would expect you to have an email set up that you would get the notice from. You are not responsible for this kind of stuff until you have been notified, pretty much globally, so pay attention to your email.

You can set up Cloudflare as your CDN and turn on CSAM detection. It will automatically block links to known CSAM from the managed global CSAM hash lists.

If you want something in addition to that, you can use db0’s plugin that adds in a similar capability.

Really weird reading an article that interviews someone you’ve worked for (who is a billionaire themselves).

I see, you’re talking about manual reporting (as in you filed a report directly on CF’s website) rather than CF’s CSAM scanning. This is the same as reporting CSAM to any US service provider.

They do not. Here’s the email I got (I maintain programming.dev).

Cloudflare does not automatically report to the NCMEC anymore.

14 year olds aren’t allowed to take ubers by themselves in the first place. not sure how many 14 yo have banks in the UK, but in the US it’s vanishingly small.

as an instance admin I will let you know that lemmy (the software) runs very very poorly.

anyone that wants to use their computer for basic things like netflix or watching any content at all will notice the difference. They won’t be able to tell you it’s HDR, but they will think “why does this look worse than it did on windows”?

that is most definitely not the process. You have to explicitly go into Steam’s settings > Compatibility > “Enable Steam Play for all other titles” (what in the world, it’s called Steam Play, not Proton?) and then additionally select which Proton version you want. If you don’t know this, or don’t google it with the right keywords, you won’t understand why literally 90% of your library isn’t available (in my case it was 99% of my library, I think I only had 3 games available on linux natively). Also if you select the wrong Proton version some games won’t run, so you have to know that and switch it for those games only.

buying a pan increases demand for that item, which then gets built in those factories that then pollute the water you drink and the air you breathe. So yeah, they’re directly correlated.

recent studies have stated that the pans offgas from manufacturing for weeks after you’ve bought them, no heating needed, so no, that’s not correct. and it was known that they offgas at only 325ºF years ago. https://www.ewg.org/research/canaries-kitchen

so no, teflon pans are bad no matter how you use them, they’re bad for the environment, they’re bad for your health, they’re bad for animals, they’re bad for babies that haven’t been born yet.
