Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•When people recommend Brave browser.English
91·21 days agoThat you’re even suggesting this tells me that you don’t use tor regularly. Many clearnet sites dont want to be accessed through tor and will just block you. If you encounter any recaptchas thats basically a dead end. The time from opening the browser to having a fully loaded site is minutes.
If you don’t plan on doing serious crimes and your not an opposition leader in a totalitarian state, tor is not a good default browser.

ADHD@lemmy.world•What is your favorite kind of fidget toy/stim toy?English
1·30 days agoWhat are your typical fidgeting algs? Mine are:
- R U R’ U’
- M’ E’ (holding the cube diagonally)
- U R’ F R
- U-perm
Other than U-perm, theses are just random moves that feel nice and cycle relatively quickly. Ive forgotten many of the PLLs, but I remember that some of them felt really satisfying

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Can China just steal America’s AI brain that’s costing trillions to develop?English
15·1 month agoOh no, wouldn’t anyone think of the billion dollar companies? The Chinese are stealing the models that they have spent so much effort on getting all the training data. What a shame.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•‘Ripping’ Clips for YouTube Reaction Videos can Violate the DMCA, Court Rules * TorrentFreakEnglish
6·2 months agoI think it really doesn’t matter if a reaction video used the youtube player or vlc with ytdl. If its transformative content its fine, if its a re-upload with a facecam in the corner then not. Technology isn’t the problem here.

Datenschutz - Privacy - Digitale Selbstverteidigung@feddit.org•Wdr wirbt für Snowflake-Erweiterung um Menschen im Iran zu helfen
2·2 months agoSoweit ich weiß hilft Snowflake nicht, um die Internet sperren zu umgehen, da es sich eben nicht um DNS sperren, sondern um blockieren von routing allgemein handelt.
Snowflake hilft aber Leuten, die einen Weg gefunden haben, diese Sperren zu umgehen, ihre Identität zu schützen.
Starlink wird zum Beispiel genutzt, wobei das wohl auch versucht wird zu verhindern durch jamming.

Technology@lemmy.world•Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End EncryptionEnglish
102·2 months agoIm not a big fan of meta and WhatsApp, but these claims are a bit much. Any employee gets access to messages through a well documented internal process? “No separate decryption step is required” , so the WhatsApp CLIENT is not doing any actual e2e encryption and no attempt at reverse engineering or traffic analysis has ever seen that this is the case?
Where can one see, what these whistleblowers have actually published? I would expect to see this “simple process” and how that interface actually works… And I would expect any journalist to request some proof (show me the last message i sent to Alice) before trusting an anonymous whistleblower making such an extraordinary claim.
From what I heard so far, that anonymous whistleblower could be a troll or an ex-employee who just wants to cause some trouble for meta.
We should not trust anything blindly, even if it fits with our view of the world. Meta is an evil company, but as long as there is no indication for these specific allegations to be true, we should treat them as unfounded allegations.
Well maybe Europe can become the center of science again.
Proof by intimidation
Have you tried turning him off and on again?

Buy European@feddit.uk•Software: For those who didn't know, Blender is a Dutch nonprofit organization
11·1 year agoAutodesk is evil. They buy out all the competition, kill any perpetual licensing, increase the prices and then kill the project when all the value is extracted.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Proton has stopped using their Mastodon accountEnglish
17·1 year agoThree years ago I made an issue on their feedback page because the android app doesn’t really work on degoogled phones, it requires gms for notifications. Still not fixed.
Nice privacy focused App that can’t fully be used if you take privacy seriously.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•White chocolate is better than dark chocolate and i'm tired of pretending it's not
1·3 years agoWow I didnt know that this is such an unpopular opinion. There’s nothing wrong with liking white chocolate.
Liking white chocolate doesnt mean not liking chocolate. When i want sth sweet, i prefer white chocolate, but I’m also a fan of dark chocolate (60%-80%).

Technology@lemmy.world•Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per monthEnglish
14·3 years agoJust so that everyone knows:
Dont download patched apks from the internet. Instead, install the patcher from github and a vanilla youtube APK to patch it yourself.
There are no official sites providing revanced APKs and the unofficial sited may contain unwanted software.







I think a compromise like 160 would actually already improve things a lot and isn’t controversial.
But our current government is owned by lobbyists, so we will have to wait a bit longer.
