Reddit is not where I would submit a bug. I would make sure I was running the latest version and that it still has the bug. I would search to see if It is a known issue both with a web search and on their bug tracker. If I found nothing I would submit a well reaseached and documented bug report.

If your a developer you could even submit a patch or pull request against the project main line. Most people cannot do that though.

If it is not a bug then really the developers should not be expected to do much. May not be their priority or vision. Lot more questionable to submit non-bug items unless you plan on developing them yourself and seeing if their is interest in including.

No, one and two are not the same. Your PM is not unlocked unless you enter that master password and it will lock after some time period. Many common PMs sync too. Plus you should be using 2FA. If you care about security avoid auto login.

The interesting thing about Twitter is how it shows how a significant part of our society works. It is kind of about amplifying fame and suggesting that we should all cares about meaningless 240 character posts or what these guys think.

That news media types love Twitter is kind of an indictment of how news works.

And they get to choose? Never worked for a business where that was true.

If you want to have services on the internet just rent a VPS. Keep in mind though plan to keep anything on the internet very updated, secure, and maintained. Linode is one such provider. There are many others.

If on your LAN then frankly the lowest power thing you can live with as electric cost will be a major part of the cost. I actually have a fairly substantial Media Center computer but also host my services that in my LAN since it needs to be always on anyway. I would not call my my solution low power but it is on already any way. I just made the system capable of both uses.

Basically confusing bandwidth and latency. As far as speed it all depends on what media.

Fine. Good luck. I will just use a different site. I do agree though… the web needs a better way and that way should not be ads and tracking.

VNC and ssh routed through a VPS can work for Linux and Windows. That is what I use for both.

For android I use TeamViewer. Not sure if VNC is there for that.

Not exactly true. Upstream could just disconnect the user for example at the ISP. One could also just disconnect whole countries if needed. We just do not take these these things seriously.

Similarly white hats could be scanning for vunerabilities and patching them when found before they could be exploited.

Similarly one could require all internet facing stuff to have an auto update feature.

Just saying many things could be done.

Seems overblown. They said crypto, gaming, gambling, advertising, and marketing sites were the biggest targets. Not exactly critical stuff.

As far as botnets… Let orgs or agencies either patch the devices or disconnect them. Seems like there should be an agency that scans for problematic devices and takes action automatically.

Actually in terms of the threadiverse it makes more sense to join medium to large instances that align with your interests and values. That way most of your posts and subscriptions are local. Then it makes sense to subscribe to the best other communities that are missing from your instance. This reduces fragmentation which is good.

Keep in mind your suggesting promoting fragmentation which is just nuts. Building community scale is the biggest issue at the moment. Keep in mind too that as long as there are 7 or so major instances, the threadiverse is not centralized. It is just more cost and manpower effective to join and donate to larger instances rather then everyone run their own. Presumably there is an optimal instance size. I have no idea what that is.

Long run it would be good to have some tech that fights community fragmentation like the ability to aggregate communities. The other approach is just to let the dynamics choose these and let minor communities just get starved which seems to be the current approach. Maybe that is better, I have no idea.

Mutual insurance companies are not profit making companies.

Depends on what people want. For threadiverse who cares, this is topic based not people based.

For a lot of micro blogging this is for people that either want to be the one people follow or for people that want to follow those people. I am not one of those people. You do have a point though about those people. That is not the the threadiverse though… not related to lemmy or kbin.

Drivers vary though. For tube sites it is more about monetization. So that it yet another driver.

Because of lack of trust based on behavior: https://securityintelligence.com/news/wot-privacy-breach-trust-tanks-as-browser-add-on-caught-selling-user-data/

Seems like crypto people do not like telegram because they rolled their own crypto. Often kind of a red flag. Counter is that I am not sure there is a known issue with it beyond the standard complaints.

Not sure why you would choose Telegram over Signal. The one thing I do not like about signal is your phone number is your ID though.

Keep in mind things go back further then you might think to mechanical computing machines. Ada Lovelace is often considered to be the first computer programmer: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace

Yes fear. Fear that your skill and knowledge is no longer useful or you job no longer relevant.

The thing I fear is the flooding of the net with crap well more crap then now. Also people actually believing the crap. Trusted information sources and authenticated people are the only way I know around that.

Every electronic camera is going to do processing. Not sure one should reject based on standard processing and not being certain. I disagree with the judges that the process matters when your judging a result not the process. They basically rejected it for being too good.

Oh my friend wins lot of the time and does great work. They have also seen judges choose crap work too. So they know what to submit and not submit when certain judges are judging. It is a real thing.
