Thank you :D

God i miss legacy minecraft. Way better than bedrock.

I still have it on my original xbox one (not the og og xbox lol) and i’m overwhelmed with memories everytime i play it.

I was heartbroken when they discontinued it, and it took me years to actually migrate to bedrock ;'(

Thank you for reminding me of it :^)

No way… you’re telling me a free AI is profiting off my data?

Always run AI locally!

My original comment was under a hardware thread, but the main interest of it was the paper i linked. The paper itself is better suited to the article but my commentary is not haha.

I’m very excited for the development of these open source processors, but the average person is probably not going to build their own hardware (for obvious reasons 😅) But i think this is still a huge step for transparency!

The original point of the paper was for software, which is arguably more malicious (and what the article was talking about) Almost no one can build their entire environment from pure scratch (from the OS to the browser) and even then, how can you prove that the toolchain itself is not malicious or backdoored?

My point ultimately is that most of this does not matter. There is something close to “true privacy” but never 100%. Privacy is about tradeoffs and compromises, it is still better than exposing yourself completely to the open.

I’ll repost an old comment of mine, since it’s relevant:

True security/privacy is impossible.

It is a compromise, and it all depends on your threat model; everything is probably “backdoored” some way or another.

However the productive thing isn’t 100% blocking these risks, it’s mitigating it. It’s not feasible to build your own processor, so for example, choose the least worse between Intel ME and AMD PSP. It’s sad that we have to live in a world where surveillance is everywhere, but this is how it is for now.

tl;dr: don’t worry too much about these, you’ll still be backdoored one way or another, what is important is making it harder for them

I think it’s been implemented this whole time, but it’s just that the default lemmy-ui doesn’t show it

mods will also be able to view votes in their communities.

You can already do this using tesseract, by the way (not tesseract.dubvee.org, strangely?)

On t.lemmy.dbzer0.com i can see both upvotes and downvotes (for all my modded comms):

Ah, well that sucks :( i thought it just used a different strategy to do so if it was trusted, not outright disable it.

Will correct it, thanks

I’m not sure about the downvotes part (i failed to recreate this lmao) but you can already view upvotes with mbin. Piefed solves this problem with a option to make your votes private but only with untrusted instances (but from my tests it didn’t work? weird)

I mainly use offline tools like onlyoffice, but i love cryptpad. It’s the best office suite for privacy. Highly recommend.

Good luck with the competition!

I don’t have much to say, but thank you for working on lemmy all these years.

I can complain about it a lot sometimes, but I’m very grateful for both the communities and the developers that kickstarted the fediverse, and for free too! So, thank you ❤️

Great article, thanks for sharing.

I think it was ultimately stupid what they did, and how they handled it but this article puts a lot of my uneases at rest.

Edit I’ve seen the other comment on this post, seems more sensible.

I’m glad we have choices but be careful everyone, they’re new and we don’t know if they’re trust worthy.

They seem good, but they’re new and we can’t know just yet whether we can trust them or not.

I use it too but i’m not sure if i should recommend it, since they’re not OSS (against rules)

I make soft exceptions though, so i’ll keep them at a minimum :)

Haven’t heard of it, thanks for sharing. Seems interesting

“The walls have eyes, the walls have ears…”

They’ve almost become omnipotent in the tech space and nobody cares. They wouldn’t care if they’ve managed to name every single detail about them, nor sell it and rat them out to the police.

All from a simple search engine…

Some manufacturers phones’ can’t even install ROMs. ~Fucking samsung…~

It’s a huge shame since the best phone on the market are pixels, and those are owned by google.

Fairphones seem interesting though.

You should check out Heliboard and Florisboard for good alternatives.
