For all the memes, Arch has not once broken on me.

I may not be 100% right, as I haven't looked at it in detail, but I think it's even a bit more than that. Since the way that's proven is by the browser vendor signing the request (I assume with an HTTP header or something), you could also verify it's from a specific vendor. So even if Mozilla says, yes, we'll display your ads, a website could still lock down to Chrome. It would probably also significantly hamper new browsers, and browsers with a security/anti-ad focus, as they won't be recognised by major websites that use the new protocol until they have market share, which they won't get if they don't have access to major websites.

I have been using BitWarden, and it's pretty good, but I'm shifting over to Keepass now, syncing the database with syncthing. Means I don't have to trust they won't be breached, but it is definitely a bit more of a faff to get set up. For anyone unsure, I would definitely recommend a managed service like BitWarden though. I got my sister on it, who would probably have a single password for everything otherwise, and she got the hang of it super quick.

Well, it does say it would be a floating colony, so it would probably be up where the atmosphere is about as dense as Earth's, and above the sulfuric acid clouds, which is quite a bit more feasible than on the surface. That's something actual real scientists and engineers have looked at. Still not overly feasible though, and there surely won't be a 1000-person colony there by 2050. Even if NASA, SpaceX and the rest of the industry pivoted to Venus rather than Mars, I'd doubt that could happen. And I'd trust pretty much anyone more than this guy to pull it off.

A) Maybe not you, maybe not me or anyone else here, but 99.99% of the rest of the world? And when the rest leave, is Mozilla really going to be able to justify maintaining a browser for those that remain? B) There might not be a website that would do it, but what about if practically all websites with any corporate backing did it?

Look at awww, it can handle transitions for you and is pretty easy to write a script for.

Nah, nah, it was the International Phonetic Alphabet. Can't have something like that on the 'murican internet.

But...

Just found out I didn't land the job I was really desperate for and looking forward to, which was very uniquely suited to me.

The install script one hasn't aged particularly well. Although I haven't used the official one, so maybe it's not up to IRC standards. Everything else though, totally on point. When is this from?

I'm not disagreeing about the result, Lemmy definitely feels less spammy/trolly, but either you or I have misunderstood something about registration. As far as I'm aware, any rate-limiting, proof of personhood, email verification, etc. is completely a per-instance thing. So all you'd need is an instance that's permissive to get heaps of accounts. Or even if there aren't any permissive ones (that haven't been defederated), you could host a private instance, or sign up on multiple instances. However permissive Reddit is, I don't think Lemmy fundamentally has the capability to be particularly restrictive.

My understanding was that the browser vendor itself would be the attester. So if Google says it's Google Chrome, it probably is. Unless you somehow reverse engineer how Google decides that it's Google Chrome and spoof that or something...

If there are in a sealed container that wouldn't matter, unless it flies using a magical force without an equal and opposite force, at which point you might as well just throw out conservation of mass.

One with roads coloured too would probably also be informative. And I feel like this could be scripted with openstreetmaps to make them for different cities and compare them...

What about the "all" stream? Is that also preloaded to the server?

awww is actually just swww renamed. The author felt guilty about the name because it was initially "the final solution to your wayland wallpaper woes", and they weren't aware of the connotations of "final solution" when they named it that.

That would mean "crying little off-cut". So, apt.

I'd be on board with this, but as you say it's a show of a community's coordination. Are there any lemmy communities coordinating anything? I couldn't see any in a brief search, but I very well might have missed something.

The website seems to work fine for me, but they seem to only support open hardware (e.g. Raspberry Pi or Mycroft). That doesn't mean it wouldn't work on other things though, especially with open software, but I wouldn't be surprised if Echos require updates to be signed by Amazon, so it might require some hacking.
