RAM transfer rate is is not important when swapping as the bottleneck will be storage transfer rate when reading and writing to swap.

Which I doubt Apple can make as fast as DDR4 bandwidth.

I don’t think latency is relevant in an application like lemmy. If you can’t get posts from the server it’s not latency but the server being overloaded.

Votes are federated. They are tied to account names. Only your instance can tie them to your IP.

DMs are insecure in that admin instances can read them. Most instances tell you not to use them.

Scraping is more resource intensive than using an API to have data submitted to you. Since you are now offering a service you can set terms on what you can legally do with that data while scraping can lead to legal issues. PR issues as well.

In general using a corporate social media will allow companies to track you (or buy the tracking data from the social media company) far more thoroughly than scraping lemmy.

Given new commercial entrants into the Fediverse such as WordPress, Tumblr and Threads, we suggest collaboration among these parties to help bring the trust and safety benefits currently enjoyed by centralized platforms to the wider Fediverse ecosystem

In such a system, the server on which a post originates would submit imagery to PhotoDNA for analysis

This same technique could also be applied to other hosted media analysis mechanisms (e.g. Google’s SafeSearch or Microsoft’s Analyze Image API40

While large social media providers utilize signals such as browser User-Agent, TLS fingerprint,8 IP and many other mechanisms to determine whether a previously suspended bad actor is attempting to re-create an account, Mastodon admins have little to work with apart from a user’s IP and e-mail address, both of which are easily fungible.

So basically people might have joined the fediverse in large due to privacy reasons but if fediverse is to be “ethical” it should share your images with big tech as well as track you better.

He also laments Tor and E2E messaging.

Also, here’s a solution: Just don’t use Chrome or any Chromium-based browsers.

Provided your bank has not stopped supporting your “non-secure” browser. The previous browser vendor that had a functional monopoly did abuse user-agent to harass the competition. Using non IE required changing your user-agent to IE/Windows for a lot of sites.

Or as they say:

Websites will ultimately decide if they trust the verdict returned from the attester.

It is expected that the attesters will typically come from the operating system (platform)

There is… …the risk of websites using this functionality to exclude specific attesters or non-attestable browsers

It’s not corporate based social with a mostly US based audience.

It was literally started because of political censorship of leftists on reddit.

A free ,as in non DRM, digital copy is the best from a customers perspective. It’s after all what you get after ripping your discs.

Physical media can also have DRM, just because we were able to break DVD, BR etc does not mean we are always going to be able to do so. Nor is DRM on physical media inherently weaker than on digital files, quite the opposite. If they got it right you could be unable to resell the disc afterwards, or more precisely the guy you sold it too could not use it.

Of course. They dont get any info to associate your IP with your lemmy account. You could even not have a lemmy account at all.

The posts just contain a URL which doesn’t include the uploader’s ip address or their browser string.

I mean I was a Nintendo fanboy when I was young. I have a switch now and owned N64, GC, Wii. Me and my RL friends lamented not being able to pirate. Sure there are people online that are anti piracy but I think they are actually a vocal minority.

Them and people profiting from copyright are the remaining percentage.

Why is this news, 99,9% of society says piracy is ok? Has anybody in your life ever reproved you for saying you downloaded a movie, game etc?
