you can just edit the post. it’s not a problem

the way it worked originally, pagerank. SEO, will never cease sadly; goodhart’s law n all, but it’s better than what we have now

tuta or startmail probably

you can look at the privacy policy to see what they store unencrypted. tldr; don’t use if you suspect that governments are after you, but otherwise it’s fine. for governments i think protonmail is still the best option, but if that goes to shit, startmail is a valid alternative.

here, what the proton CEO is saying does concern the company itself, so it is a warning sign that things may get worse in the future.

this isn’t something i would immediately delete my account over, especially since i still have 2 years of VPN subscription left, and it’s still better than anything google; but i’ll hold off into putting more eggs into their basket, and see how it is after those credits run out.

that’s… mild. and doesn’t really have to do anything with mullvad itself (i am assuming here it was his own money, not mullvad funds). yeah, if people really wanted to boycott because of that then they should doubly boycott proton as well.

currently still using bitwarden but recently there’s been signs that the app might go full closed source in the upcoming years, and then start adding god knows what. i’d keep a backup of your passwords somewhere and be ready to move somewhere else if need be.

atp, if you’re already moving services why not jump to one that guarantees that you will own your media, for free, instead of paying a subscription for something that may actively get worse down the line

capitalism machine prioritizing short term over everything else, working as intended.

i just hope this means people will start buying music again. 1-10 dollars for an album containing 5-20 DRM free music files is probably better value in the long run than spotify’s subscription ever was. and with navidrome, mpd, and its clients, managing them was never easier; plus artists get way more of that profit. everyone wins.

It’s a temporary solution. they’re bound to enshittify if they ever come close to spotify’s popularity. or they’ll just get bought out before getting there

spotify single-handedly increasing music piracy rates back to napster levels

So, if Quad9 has admitted that geo blocking is insufficient when it comes to complying with bans, and that they were hit with a fine for doing that previously; how are they actually supposed to not provide services to french users anymore?

agreed, a tool that you have to actively fight to do something well is a garbage tool. it’s like trying to cut some chicken meat with a knife that’s magnetically drawn to living beings. You can make some nice diced chicken with it, but it is way more likely that you’ll slip up and cut off your finger than with an actual knife.

regardless of the original intention, the purpose of generative “AI” is to become a manager that’s out of touch with the actual creation process, so at best no one will know how something works, at worst no one will be able to fix it if it breaks.

just the basic lemmy.ml website.

i personally don’t care about posting opinions on an admin account, but they seem to be right. suspect it’s to do with living on the same instance.

the button is there, but clicking it does not do anything, can’t do it via the profile or searchbar either

are passkeys not a type of a hardware token? they’re tied to a device.

Yeah, it’s funny when people shit on Linux just because people care enough to disclose vulnerabilities. Trust me that any proprietary system has just as many; they just get silently patched in this month’s security update.

Computers are finicky things; the amount of known CVEs is simply a measure of how many people pentest the software and how big the project is, rather than any statement about its security.
