You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
You make a good point about legal moderation. Modlists could work on top of that.
“serverless” communities have been suggested multiple times and hopefully they will be implemented someday. It is a good idea.
Hmmm, fedidb says “total users: +93K since last month”, “total monthly active users: +68K since last month”. That’s not that much, but not too shabby either.
Looks like the growth is more attributed to pixelfed
Hopefully in 10 years, the moderation tools will be good enough to deal with a scaling userbase. What the fediverse needs is moderation subscriptions i.e subscribing to or unsubscribing from moderation actions of different groups or people.
For example, joining a community would subscribe you automatically to the moderation list of that community, but you could also unsub from the list if you don’t like the mods there and sub to a group of people you trust more with mod decisions. Imagine if there’s an overeager mod in the community you subbed to and you wanted to exclude the modding decisions - mod lists would allow that.
I’m not sure if you’re intentionally missing the point or not. We’re not talking about encrypted group chats. We’re talking about encrypted Facebook. The amount and type of data involved is very different, so is how long the data will be retained.
But sure, if you want to ignore unsharing things, go ahead. Let’s see how that’ll work out for you 🤷
This does make sense, and I do not understand a lot of the technical details, or how this problem would be solved. I just wish it was haha
:D same. I think the solutions could be applied elsewhere too. They’d be very interesting.
Can’t say I understand what happens technically when someone is kicked from a matrix room, so what what happen with the encryption keys I dunno.
That depends on the client. Some clients will exit, some will stay in the room. Encrypted matrix rooms use “perfect forward secrecy”, meaning new people can’t read the past, and old people removed from the group/chain/chat cannot read new messages. So, being kicked from a room would still allow you to see all the chat history you stored. Or if you sign in with a device that didn’t get the “kick” message yet, the server could still send you all the messages up until the point of the kick message.
I’m not sure how Matrix implements it and server + client implementations can differ.
Sharing != downloading forever. When you browse it, yes, technically it’s in your cache, but that’s why it’s called a cache. Most people won’t install a client that puts their browsing into long-term storage (unless Microsoft takes a screenshot for them and promises never to upload it somewhere). Regardless, it is still a security issue (as I just described with releasing the encryption key). You can choose to ignore it, until someone comes along and exploits it. Then you have a bunch of angry people screaming at you because you “didn’t close an obvious security hole”.
I remember thinking about this long time ago and even asking some hackers about it to get blank stares back. Basically, there are multiple problems around data access.
Take the simple scenario of a unfriending. Let’s say you have 12 friends, but Susie turned out to be a real bitch and you unfriended her. You don’t want Susie to have access to your photos, messages, and basically anything anymore! That means the encryption key has to change -->
Where is all the data hosted and who is going to reencrypt all the entire history from the point Susie became your friend until you unfriended her? The most secure would be that you have all your data and that you re-encrypt it. Great, you are data-frugal and have maybe 10MB you have to re-encrypt. But Karl, your photography pal paid for gigabytes of storage and now has to rencrypt a good chunk of that if he unfriends somebody.
You could of course say “fuck it, the asshole friend probably made a copy and re-encrypting is pointless”, but then your ex-friend can just share the private key with the world and TADA, everybody has access to the files you shared with said friend.And that’s just one problem I can think of right now. When you take more time to think about it, you’ll run into more and more stuff.
I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it definitely isn’t easy. Add to that that many people don’t care and it’s less likely. The closest I get to that is Signal.
112·1 day agoI’m not saying “immediately”. He can take his time and make a decision or wait to see if they’ll pester him further or if it’ll even go to court.
For me, I’d just not bother with being in the unknown and just change the name to something unique, so that next time someone comes along, I can tell them fuck off because I did my research.
IANAL
While unfortunate, it seems like a legit case. Especially given how similar the apps are. One character off is quite confusing for a potential customer 🤷
I’d just rename the app and move on. Pick a different name that doesn’t come straight out of the English dictionary and is unique.
In the United States, for example, the non-adjusted average woman’s annual salary is 79–83% of the average man’s salary, compared to 95–99% for the adjusted average salary
Uh… what am I looking at?
Freetube and
mpv(usesyt-dlpin the background) work well for me 🤷
How slow is qubes? I imagine that virtualising everything is slow. Does it have a containerised mode?

01·2 months agoThe reactions here are why people don’t join forums, don’t ask questions, or choose to learn alone. “duh, I knew that”. Yes, the dude didn’t, which is exactly why he’s frustrated. I think too many have forgotten what it’s like to be a beginner and make a fatal mistake, which would explain the mocking responses here and things like recommending new linux users Arch.
We still suffer from the runtime errors that could’ve been caught at compilation time.
This isn’t even humor, this is the truth!
