It’s the Google account people log onto with thats the issue from a security perspective.

That said neither a malicious update was so far identified nor anything that 2FA wouldn’t take care of.

This can happen to fdroid apps as well by the way. It’s just the downside of small or solo devs that they are on their own when it happens.

I’m actually more confident in the smarttube rev now I have to say. He disclosed it fast, flagged his own apps as compromised even without specific proof and published it from what I can tell pretty much right after finding out.

Thank you! It’s fascinating that I never made the connection to other quite similar words (another user mentioned remastered for example).

Today ik one of the lucky 10,000.

Oh my … Thanks! The remastered made a audible click in my brain! Now it makes sense and I’m ready to move on :D

Politics aside I didn’t understood the “master” naming. I was framed by SCSI and always wondered which slaves that master controls.

If I recall correctly back then my mentor even explained t as “don’t think of it like this kind of master, more like the source of truth and everything als derives from that”.

Can someone explain to me (in the nostupidquestions sense!) what the “master” naming was actually intended to convey and why people are so on love with it (if there’s something beyond “it’s jr original name”, while I personally don’t follow this train of thought I can fully understand it).

Which is quite a feat for a showerthought community…

I meant the one above that - but from your answer I deduce that that’s actually what Windows looks like nowadays? Oo

Thank you!

What is that? I first thought this is what Windows might look like today but now I’m curious what functionality a program like this solves!

If on he other hand you want a transition that’s really painful and slow but sooo rewarding (highly subjective, of course) you can look into nushell. They just said “screw this 50 years of conceptual baggage and let’s do it data centric and proper”.

I still am at perhaps 10% the speed of my zsh setup but the concepts are so intriguing I’m sticking to it. At least I try to …

I wish I could blame auto correct but I’m afraid at least 2/3 of that was (and is) sleep deprivation :(

Hopefully a bit cleaner now and thanks for the pointer.

Thanks! Highly appreciated :) Your “compile” time alone I wasted when I accidently screwed up disk encryption - and couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with my kernel parameters for a long time. So your numbers are not really shocking.

Edit: decrypted message.

Yay AMA! ❤️

How do you feel when you(have to use) a different linux system of that happens? Is it as different that it’s like “using” MacOS or Windows to you?

How lo does it take you to set up a system from scratch?

what’s the biggest downside from your perspective?

Thanks in advance!

While I understand the aggressive anti religious sentiment I also emphasize with your beliefs so perhaps a different way of phrasing it:

The link to religion is not so much on right or wrong but accepting or not. I’d I understand your context than your church teaches accepting and empathy.

This is not a universal, objective “correct” thing! You, and me as well, feel these values as right and choose to defend them. But there’s no nature law enforcing this.

And now the opposite as true as well. By having a peer group which is self reinforcing people can come to the belief that there are people who are worth less. Or evil. Or dumb.

Now the step to fascism is only a small one: my nation is best, my leader is best, etc.

If belief gets strong enough than objective discussion can’t take place anymore - both for things that we connotate positive as well as negative.

I can shad a light on that! […]

When we’re in a fast paces dialogue with a high level of rapport I start speaking my thoughts before they’re finished - and it happens that a thought starts out as “my opinion is …” And in the middle transfers to “oh it would be way more interesting what your thoughts on this are!”.

Or I’m mentally distracted and fall back to the monologue voice …

Either way: the flow of the sentence already started as a statement and now I want to make sure that it’s clear that your input is wanted and appreciated - and instead of saying “and perhaps that sounded like a statement but please treat it as a question” I fall back to “question mark.”

Oh I can shad a light on that! Hope it’s not en pair with the shelter animal hunting though.

In the sense of okhams razor it’s also possible that you’re just more sensibilized to the term.

It would be a fun experiment to next time first check YouTube before looking it up elsewhere, just to eliminate the chance that the information vector is before the search.

From there then come various other possibilities (from behaviour based prediction to Lemmy profe linking).

Just to widen the search area!

I can’t argue about the historic relevance; The article you linked is from 2020, the issues from early 2019. The original matrix developing company seems to have deep ties as described, yes.

But:

If you follow the very first link I. The article you can read the history of the matrix protocol itself. It shows where and when the matrix protocol was separated from this company and what the status quo seems to be:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol)#History

From this it seems clear to me that the information from this article are by now obviously outdated with KDE and Mozilla two big mentioned community projects that are involved.

Wikipedia as primary source is not well suited, but the fact that the article linked to it themselves seem to show that they relied on the back then status quo.

In short: in 2017 they would be absolutely right, in 2020 there were still huge issues - but by now those are mostly addressed or are unknown.

For the non link clickers. I give it interesting enough:

Does anyone have a pointer to an authoritative source on why

10/8 172.16/12 and 192.168/16

were the ranges chosen to enshrine in the RFC? …

The RFC explains the reason why we chose three ranges from “Class A,B & C” respectively: CIDR had been specified but had not been widely implemented. There was a significant amount of equipment out there that still was “classful”.

As far as I recall the choice of the particular ranges were as follows:

10/8: the ARPANET had just been turned off. One of us suggested it and Jon considered this a good re-use of this “historical” address block. We also suspected that “net 10” might have been hard coded in some places, so re-using it for private address space rather than in inter-AS routing might have the slight advantage of keeping such silliness local.

172.16/12: the lowest unallocated /12 in class B space.

192.168/16: the lowest unallocated /16 in class C block 192/8.

In summary: IANA allocated this space just as it would have for any other purpose. As the IANA, Jon was very consistent unless there was a really good reason to be creative.

There isn’t a global law about age verification they countries could be exempt of. It’s individual countries doing it.

And on top of that the laws are different from what I’ve seen, in the UK for example you have to fullfil certain criteria to fall under that law. But frankly it seems to be a mess in my opinion.

This is what an age verification service says about it:

In the very first post on this thread I pointed out that I’m not talking about this specific case at all.

To your last point I fully agree!

For the first point: that’s how I understood you - what I failed to convey: adultsshould fall victim more in cases like this because parents can be a protective shield of a kind that grown-ups lag.

Children on their own stand easy less of a chance but are very rarely on their own.

And to be honest I think it doesn’t change result of requirements for action both in general but respectfully for language based bots, both from a legal as well as an educational point of view.
