I know that it is a can of worms politically, but now the man the whole world owes the wake-up call that were his leaks to, is forced to live under Putin.

If Snowden ever did, he hardly did it out of his own volition.

It really is a shame how spineless european politicians are, to not give Edward Snowden protection in europe. I bet a whole bunch of politicians are happy that he faded out of the collective mind, so they don’t have defend their indefensible standpoint of not giving Snowden amnesty.

It also sucks that there is no recourse against politicians that are clearly biased in their decisionmaking.

Gonna wait for a stable male.

In theory at least, online services would be more safe than a locally decrypted vault. If your computer is compromised, the bad actors can pull your encrypted vault for an unlimited brute force attack. Of course, this can be mitigated by increasing the decryption time. However, if your vault is already decrypted, then bad actors can just pull all your password from your memory.

I, for one, am decrypting my vault once when I start my PC. In theory, if I were to use an online solution, bad actors wouldn’t be able to pull my vault from memory.

Dear colleagues. I have just installed Fedora 38 on a friend’s work station, everything works so far. Only Firefox has issues. After about 5 seconds, the message that the application isn’t responding appears, asking me to either wait for or close the application.
Brave is working, Librewolf is working, but Firefox isn’t? Does anyone have an idea why that could be?

What you can do to mitigate the error right now is to refresh after using the back button. It will load the correct, previous page.

What is it they should ask?
“Should we stay federated with a community that has the very real potential of producing content that is illegal for us to share and in turn risk getting sued?
[ ] Risk your livelihood so we can continue accessing the content
[ ] Be lame and preemtively defederate”

A copy of that discussion is hosted on lemmy.world. In fact, all content from other instances on lemmy.world is in fact just a copy hosted on lemmy.world. That is how federation works. If a post that breaks the laws lemmy.world is subjected to, is federated to lemmy.world, lemmy.world will automatically create a copy of that post and make it available to all its visitors. By law, lemmy.world is hosting illegal content. This is a fubxamental design flaw with Lemmy and Mastoson, or the ActivityPub peotocol, that needs to be adressed by the developers, if instance admins are to be sure that they are not breaking laws by federating.

Honest question: What for? I have never encountered a site that was truly broken on Firefox.

Peak lemmy algorithm strikes again.

Small correction: While Chromium is not “owned” by Google, Google employees are the main contributers and the project is controlled by Google Employees. Chromium will absolutely support whatever Google wants it to support.

Louis Rossman made a video about this and especially where he quotes users from HackerNews hammers the point home for me. Firefox will be forced to adopt this “feature” if it ever becomes reality, as Chrome has overwhelming market share and the average user only cares that the site loads.

I simply know where the settings are on Windows. I can find almost all stuff in the settings, I can fiddle with the registry and I can do narrow searches if I do need to look something up. I also understand how and where programs on Windows save their files. On Linux I have only very little experience.

You are missing the point. Beehaw defederates because they want to keep their instance close to their values. My post isn’t about those types of defederation. I’m concerned about admins having to defederate for legal reasons. If you are an admin of an instance and your instance pull content from another instance that is illegal for you to possess or share, because one of your users subscribed to a community of that instance, then the only recourse you have is to defederate from that instance. That is bad design.

Server admins having to disable the very thing that makes the fediverse the fediverse to shield themselves from liability is by definition bad design.

There are people out there that arent OF ‘creators’ or nefarious people that rely on exposure. The dev that created Stardew Valley all on his own for example. I have spoken with some creators, who will, despite everything, stay with twitter, simply because Mastodon is too fragmented and the chance to be seen is too low.

I’ve heard the argument that ‘lemmy is not reddit’ a few times and it is aleays used to defend the objectively bad way federation currently works. Server admins have to defedefate, lest their servers automatically pull content the, could be sued for for distributing. That is just bad design, flat out.

That is not a proper solution. Especially when Fediverse applications are becoming mainstream, most users won’t switch instances to access content they currently are unable to. It will just lead to endless support tickets and -threads on why they can’t find what they are looking for. Also, for people that rely on exposure, such a fracturing of the Fediverse is just not worth it. Furthermore, having to restrict access to content in order to cover yourself legally leads to self-imposed censorship worse than even big platforms, like reddit, currently demand.
