It’s just… So deserved, you know? Sometimes you can’t but laugh in the face of such karma and fucking irony.

Not cuda, but a lower level nvidia proprietary API, your point still stands though.

They replaced it with a lower level nvidia exclusive proprietary API though.

People are really misunderstanding what has happened.

I did it years ago when they sent me an email suggesting to do exactly that.

You can also register a MFA app and lock recovery codes in your PC.

This has been announced with enough time, you still have time to download another app like aegis or whatever. This is only for new logins however, you will still have access to bitwarden wherever you are already logged on.

You provided a situation where your phone was robbed and you didn’t plan for it so you didn’t print the relevant information.

So… Prepare ahead? Go to a relevant office with identification to get access to the relevant tickets again?

“What can I do if all the tools at my disposal to get the relevant information are stolen?” You get fucked. Idk what else to tell you.

On my home PC. Same with the 2fa export of aegis.

“What if you can’t access blah”

There’s a limit to interoperability, if you want access to everything everywhere even when you lose access for whatever reason, you will have to concede security.

You could save a keepass file with secure notes of both the bitwarden 2fa and recovery codes and save it in drive or whatever, you don’t need passwords nowadays to access the Google account.

“But what if I lose access to my phone?”

Well you are fucked, what else do you want? I guess you could print the recovery keys and store them in a secured box at home.

Edit: I read further down that your comment was meant to incite other to actually think and do stuff. Sorry if I came of rude.

I would consider protest non-votes also protest votes, and there’s no statistic on their amount.

Most people that protested against Democrats because they aren’t left enough wouldn’t just vote republican or third party, they would just abstain.

It’s been a thing for a while with rolling distros, let’s hope the release based ones ship it and their the flatpak issues so most users can enjoy sharing the screen with friends soon.

This makes sense, most of that explanation in the screenshot reeks of novices working with something they don’t understand.

I have worked with Qt, it’s not that bad to be honest.

What cracked me up was all that copying blocks of code “because no one knows how anything works”.

That reeks of novices copying code without bothering to read it well, and since this work method is horrendous, no one stays enough to stablish a proper knowledge base.

Would they? Signal could make this a choice per user. As in, you as a signal user don’t enable it so they can’t msg you, but they can enable it from signal to talk to you and their social circle all at once.

This a really easy issue to fix for signal.

Signal could enable it on a per-user basis. Why would your friends keep using signal? Because you would not enable it so they won’t be able to talk to you. However, they can now enable it and keep talking to everyone else, so they might decide to delete WhatsApp with in time.

You don’t understand. This is not for you, the signal user, to speak with WhatsApp users. This is for you to convince them to swap to signal and keep talking to other WhatsApp users. The more people change, the less information will go through meta. Lowering the barrier to swap apps is great.

To send messages, the third-party providers have to construct message protobuf structures which are then encrypted using the Signal Protocol and then packaged into message stanzas in eXtensible Markup Language (XML).

Meta servers push messages to connected clients over a persistent connection. Third-party servers are responsible for hosting any media files their client applications send to Meta clients (such as image or video files). After receiving a media message, Meta clients will subsequently download the encrypted media from the third-party messaging servers using a Meta proxy service.

This is only for messages sent to WhatsApp, right now you are force to use their app to chat with WhatsApp users, which is worse than the proposal.

Why would your signal to signal data be even sent to WhatsApp? Only the signal to WhatsApp and WhatsApp to signal data would go through meta servers… If that’s not how it’s being designed, it’s a failed feature ofc.

This is not federation, this is signal being able to send message to a WhatsApp server and WhatsApp being able to interpret it to send it to a WhatsApp user. WhatsApp wouldn’t know more than what it already knows when you inevitably need to use the app to reply to your grandma or whatever.

A big plus however is that you can convince friends and family to switch since they would be able to keep chatting with their family and friends, so the entry barrier lowers by a ton.

This is not federation and it is great.

Imagine that the main instance starts to blocklist words and censor content. Or ads. Having a way to move all your history, follower and follow list would be great so deter such issues since users can abandon your server quickly and you would just lose the userbase you were trying to monetise.

Imagine I decide to invest in a private server and want to create my own instances and move my Lemmy and Mastodon accounts there to have better control of what happens.

Having to resubscribe to everything would suck and specially in mastodon, having to generate a new userbase from zero would just deter users from such things.

Another example, suddenly the Mali govt decides to close lemmy.ml, that would suck. Having a way to changing the instance would be just great.

Even if the username changed, having some feature where you can transfer your account and follows, history and notify all to your followers of the new name so their follow list gets updated could be coded, and it would make instance hopping relatively easy.

I’m against reserving your name in all instances but having a feature to change the handle and that all your followers don’t suddenly know who you are is important. Something akin to creating the new one, notifying of the change and leaving the old one directing to the new one for some time.

Or just not letting you swap to an instance if the handle exists. Idk. But this would make me actually start using mastodon if it were a feature. I might even start a fork and work on it.

Because I found my brain’s fuckup funny and I wanted to share it with the word.
