It's not super useful for doxing by normies necessarily but you better believe ISPs also log which customer gets which IP and keep that historical data (because they can definitely send copyright notices for torrent seeding) and law enforcement can subpoena or sometimes just ask nicely for historical IP data.
And that's a dangerous thing when regimes come to power and want certain speech squashed, especially if you believe you're reasonably anonymized.
What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
That intro and general structure (AI loves bulleted lists but then again so do I) sure sound like a lot of the responses I've gotten. As always, it's hard to say for sure.
I mean. "she was killed by the IDF" is passive voice, no? I think IDF is out of control as much as the next person but passive voice can be communicative and clear as much as active voice. And clearly it's easy to reach for if you gave it as a counter example accidentally.
I believe at the v6 bump something in libalpm changed and it broke the way I had installed yay, at least. Took me a bit to fix because previously I'd just installed yay with go install and IIRC that didn't work to rebuild.
For a search company I can't believe how terrible the Android app search is. I can't even search "bank" for my banking apps, and there doesn't really seem to be any metadata except for the title that goes into the search. Which is absolutely ridiculous given how many companies name their apps something cReAtIvE like "home" or "Resideo" or "Smart Hq." I just want to search GE for the damn GE app. Or "thermostat" for Resideo. Surely there's something beyond surface level here because obviously this is an extensively solved problem. How is there not metadata or description searching at minimum? My only guess is fear of abuse but Google has definitely dealt with that for their entire existence and up until recently, managed to handle it fine.
For context, in case you don't have kids (therefor you probably don't watch Bluey), the family in the car (the Heelers) was selling their house to move for a job but ultimately, the dad (Bandit) decided staying at their house with family was more important. As a final act of demonstration, he lifts the for-sale sign out of the ground and throws it onto the street, with emotional montage music playing in the background.
Basically the meme being, I reject this and I'll figure out another way.
Thankfully historical Hashicorp code has been permissively licensed and we have awesome forks like opentofu and openbao.
Sources say the decision was made by how long interns spent in each editor. In fact, it appears the vim users simply never exited once they opened the program, presumably because they found it so productive.
I had an issue logging into Twitch last night for the first time in a while. I just didn't get any 2FA messages delivered to me, until about 12 hours later when I was asleep and they were probably long invalidated. and now suddenly I can't log in to my MVD either. Apparently there's some sort of SMS short+long code outage (according to the twilio status page in North America, which is mildly infuriating when this is already shown to be a pretty sketchy 2FA mechanism, at least theoretically.
Just curious if anybody else has noticed issues or if that's just me. And also, I really hate SMS 2FA.
This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly "we're handling it and removing this" is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see. Especially as the admins of that instance have not yet upgraded the frontend version to apply the urgent fix.
It's not like this was a confidential bug fix, this is a zero day being actively exploited. Please be more cooperative and open regarding these issues in your own administration if you're hosting an instance. 🙏
It adds a small icon to other instances so that you can easily open it in your own lemmy instance for interaction etc.
It's simple, rough and ready but super useful, just input your lemmy instance in settings and then enable it for all sites or just the lemmy sites you want and hey presto.
Open for ideas, collaboration and feedback as always :)
