Ich mag Pflanzen und hab ein extra Regal dafür. Support your FOSS (Free and OpenSource Software) projects!🫶🏼

  • It's better. Not good. Better than other tools, at least in the eyes of the many people using it. But as I stated at another post, to me this speaks to the fact that we need better FOSS alternatives for whatever purposes discord is used. I don't like Discord either, don't get me wrong! But so many people using it means something's missing and I don't think it cab solely be explained by the lack of knowledge of existing solutions but at least partly by the existence itself.

  • 25 seconds later: 🇩🇪 - Flagge wtf haha

  • He wrote code that was so bad, all that was kept from x.com when it was bought was its name. The actual code was taken from another company acquired at the same time.

  • Just use a VPN bro and you're fine /s

  • Hello, as I said, it's about "security by design", which means to design a system that 'doesn't allow for insecure things' in the first place. Like a microwave oven doesn't operate when the door is open. IT-/cyber-security is a complex field, but 2FA is a good place to start, regarding user facing services. There are lots more things than that of course.

  • That's exactly right. I was about to say how people usually don't even "not take it seriously" but rather don't even think or know about it. But you already said that yourself haha :D

  • The lions share IMHO is at 23&me. Offering such a poorly secured service is negligence, in the face of the data's high sensitivity nature.

  • This shouldn't be "offered" IMHO, this should be mandatory. Yes, people are very ignorant about cyber security (I've studied in this field, trust me, I know). But the answer isn't to put the responsibility on the user! It is to design products and services which are secure by design.

    If someone is actually able to crack accounts via brute-forcing common passwords, you did not design a secure service/product.

    [Edit: spelling]

  • I would say it's partially their fault. IMHO 23&me is mainly to blame. They should've enforced (proper) 2FA. Sure, people should've known better, but they didn't; they oftenly don't. But 23&me did know better.

    Edit: spelling

  • Removed

    Thoughts on this?

  • Isn't screen sharing working since some time? Works even on WebEx from Firefox, can pick any window to share. Granted a few years back it didn't work, but now it does. Maybe it's a zoom bug... 🤔

  • Best ask that in the sync community, hopefully someone there can help :)

  • That's a bit rude, don't you think? He's a person too and reads this comment... How would you feel reading st. like that about you? :/

  • I think he was being sarcastic, playing with words. Meaning, that you trade in time, runtime and memory and get nothing in return :D so a pretty bad trade haha.

    Of course it's worse, I mean, that was the point of this blogpost, wasn't it? :p It's just a (long) joke.

  • Someone should make a post about why blocking Threads is good and why it's not to be confused with gate keeping. If not properly communicated, this could look very badly for the uninitiated and they're not to blame.

    Some people of course have an educated opinion against blocking, but many presumably don't know the reasons behind it.
