I’d be happy if we’d just accepted “referer” as the correct spelling for everything, but instead we have the “Referrer-Policy” header, so now I need to check the correct spelling for anything involving referring…

I do sort of like the idea that because we want to keep backwards compatibility on software we just change the language instead since that’s easier.

Last time I checked companies don’t share backdoors they’ve added in release notes.

What better headline would you propose in this case?

I don’t think that rule is valid here, the question isn’t there because the answer is definitively “no” and they just want clickbait, it’s there because the actual article is about the question.

(Side note: I’m aware most people here will strongly argue that the answer is no, and I agree, but that is not my point.)

Of the 1,723 adults surveyed across the UK, 73% said technology companies should, by law, have to scan private messaging for child sexual abuse and disrupt it in end-to-end encrypted environments.

Found this interesting. I found the survey results here: https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/68pn2b6b57/NSPCC_OnlineSafetyBill_230427_W.pdf

The exact question I believe is being referred to was:

And do you think technology companies should or should not be required by law to use accredited technology to identify child sexual abuse in end-to-end encrypted messaging apps?

This seems like a really bad question, since it implies a coexistence of end to end encryption and big tech companies being able to read people’s messages, which doesn’t really make sense (or at least requires more clarification on what that would mean). The question as it is is basically “do you think child sexual abuse is bad”.

I wish I could have extensions default to off and be able to turn them on selectively on sites. For things like darkreader I don’t want to use it 90% of the time so it shouldn’t need to have at access to site data.

By the way, I don’t like the title of this article, how is it done “remotely”, it’s just a list in about:config, no? Sounds clickbaity.

Is “scrapping” autocorrect, a typo, or intended? Not meaning to be rude just interested because I’ve only heard of “web scraping” but often see people write “scrapping”.

Lemmy still feels pretty niche so I also found it surprising for me, although it probably shouldn’t be, there are quite a lot and they have to be somewhere :)

My understanding (from limited knowledge) is that also due to how federation works even if you’re instance isn’t under too much load, you may notice issues with posts/comments from other instances if they’re struggling.

On that note, I think a post view limit would be good too. Maybe 10 posts a day for accounts who haven’t donated and 100 for those who have?

I don’t really understand AdNauseam. Can’t they also not build a profile with a normal ad blocker, but you also completely avoid interacting with the trackers (so better for performance, data usage, etc)?

Not entirely related, but I wonder how things like Lemmy/mastodon/other fediverse things compare to Reddit/twitter in terms of search engine indexing. Would posts like this even be indexed? Since posts are accessible through many instances would it be indexed multiple times? Would this affect ranking?

My experience using docker on windows has been pretty awful, it would randomly become completely unresponsive, sometimes taking 100% CPU in the process. Couldn’t stop it without restarting my computer. Tried reinstalling and various things, still no help. Only found a GitHub issue with hundreds of comments but no working workarounds/solutions.

When it does work it still manages to feel… fragile, although maybe that’s just because of my experience with it breaking.
