I just quit cold turkey and moved to lemmy fulltime. I miss some communities but whatev, its no biggie.

This is the OG version. https://youtu.be/KSJNR0rwT0k?si=-maStCBsYxle7E1L

I’m sceptical. With all the added complexity of a foldable, the specs are probably gonna be below average to absymal. I’d love to be proven wrong tho.

How many times do we have to go over this? Just don’t fuck with my hardware post-purchase with sketchy updates.

00:00 is the time with the new (“tomorrow”) date, 24:00 is the time with the old (“yesterday”) date.

24:00 isnt really used, in my experience. Also, many people dont mentally switch dates until they went to bed.

Jadzia would never utter such a garbage take. The Dax symbiont is gonna sue ya if you dont delete this.

What monopoly? M$ revenue + Nintendo revenue = Sony Gaming revenue

If anything, playing field just got level, as M$ post merger will be about the same size Sony is.

Activision waa such a piece of shit, I m actually very excited for this. They shitcanned Bobby too. It can only get better.

Facebook (and the complicit Irish Data Protection Comission) thought so too, an were rekt.

The case invalidated 2 seperate “safe harbor” agreements between the EU and the USA, making ANY data transfer of EU customers private data to the USA illegal without explicit consent. It was literally pandemonium in the IT sector for a few months, everyone was running stuff in US clouds and panicking.

This is what makes the EU high court (ECJ/EuGh) special: noone can pressure them politically. They couldn’t care less what anyone but EU law says.

And that was “just” GDPR, now they have way more EU laws (DMA, DSA) they can throw at FAANG.

Under GDPR and DMA, there would be real consequences. Like “being broken up or cease to exist” magnitude of consequences. Why would they risk it for the 1% of users who actually care and set their privacy settings accordingly?

Google doesnt care about you or anyones personal data. They care about the amount they collect. If the most privacy-aware users wrestle back some data and have it deleted, so be it. Google couldnt care less. Users are like cattle to them, as long as the general “data harvest rate” looks okay they wont investigate the odd one out.

I d rather have 2 to 3 (for critical, mid, and test systems) ssh keys that are regularly rotated than 1 key per machine. I m not gonna balance 50 ssh keys; neither enter my password every time i jump hosts.

Matrix can kinda emulate this kind of “all messages in one app” experience with bridges but you introduce a single server who decrypts all your end to end encryption so you pretty much have to self host. Also the bridges arent perfect so your msgs will sometimes look weird or not support some features.

I used it too. I miss it, but i get why they removed it: it just kinda breaks the Signal user experience and trust model. This app lives and dies by the users trust their conversations will be private. By having an option to message someone in a completely unencrypted, easy to intercept mode like SMS it risks this trust for little gain (some power users like us liked it). By removing it, the app concentrates on what is expected from it and removes a big possibility for user error while fleshing out its marketing image even more. It makes perfect sense but its a tad annoying.

iMessage will have to open up bridges to other messaging services soon regardless thanks to being a Gatekeeper under the EU Digital Markets App.

Exactly this happened to my mum when she tried making homemade frozen pizza without prebaking it. Either this is a store bought frozen pizza that thawed in a serious manner or something similar happened.

Tuvix was an abomination and deserved to die. Janeway did nothing wrong.

No search engine has a “single point of entry”. Every search engine has Cache servers all over the world at almost every major IXP. Nothing would prevent a federated service from operating the same way. Cloudflare or literally any form of loadbalancer or load balancing service could be used to redirect queries to fedisearch (or whatever the service name would be) to the local instance by IP geolocation. Authentication can just be forwarded to the home server via SAML, thats also where the settings can be stored and queried at login time by the local instance. SAML assertions are very scalable, and there needs to be no global login server, since every users login query can be forwarded to his home instance, where his profile is loaded. The full search index could be put into a blockchain that every local instance joins - every instance crawls their area and publishes new results to the chain. You seem to know very little about how the internet works, yet you accuse me of raging.

That the foss community can manage things like that has been proven for years. Debian mirror server network works in a similar way (they run their own loadbalancer ofc), while being cryptographically secure. And if you wanna see a federated login network like i described in action, just go to https://pubs.acs.org/action/ssostart

All these parts i described are existing technology and in global use. The combination is not, but there is nothing that would prevent a foundation from implementing search like this.

Lol Federation is the definition of scalable. Everyone serves their local users -> a miniscule amount of global traffic, everything but auth always stays local.

Universities have been doing it since the beginning of the internet. Email is the biggest example but there are others: eduGAIN and eduroam are the most notable ones coming out of the academic community.

If you bought a Rolex instead, it would have doubled in value in the meantime.
