It’s better. Not good. Better than other tools, at least in the eyes of the many people using it. But as I stated at another post, to me this speaks to the fact that we need better FOSS alternatives for whatever purposes discord is used. I don’t like Discord either, don’t get me wrong! But so many people using it means something’s missing and I don’t think it cab solely be explained by the lack of knowledge of existing solutions but at least partly by the existence itself.

Dolphines are whales. People keep doubting me, whenever I bring that up :D

He wrote code that was so bad, all that was kept from x.com when it was bought was its name. The actual code was taken from another company acquired at the same time.

But what if you don’t actually want it, but you are addicted because other people exploit the psychology of humans?

One could argue that it’s “their fault”, but then everything is ones own fault. Furthermore this wouldn’t change the fact IMHO, that we shouldn’t prevent people from exploiting or harming other people, yk what I mean?

Anyways, as this doesn’t seem to be a loot box or such, I think I agree with you here mostly.

Just use a VPN bro and you’re fine /s

Hello, as I said, it’s about “security by design”, which means to design a system that ‘doesn’t allow for insecure things’ in the first place. Like a microwave oven doesn’t operate when the door is open. IT-/cyber-security is a complex field, but 2FA is a good place to start, regarding user facing services. There are lots more things than that of course.

That’s exactly right. I was about to say how people usually don’t even “not take it seriously” but rather don’t even think or know about it. But you already said that yourself haha :D

The lions share IMHO is at 23&me. Offering such a poorly secured service is negligence, in the face of the data’s high sensitivity nature.

This shouldn’t be “offered” IMHO, this should be mandatory. Yes, people are very ignorant about cyber security (I’ve studied in this field, trust me, I know). But the answer isn’t to put the responsibility on the user! It is to design products and services which are secure by design.

If someone is actually able to crack accounts via brute-forcing common passwords, you did not design a secure service/product.

[Edit: spelling]

I would say it’s partially their fault. IMHO 23&me is mainly to blame. They should’ve enforced (proper) 2FA. Sure, people should’ve known better, but they didn’t; they oftenly don’t. But 23&me did know better.

I.e. Karl Popper’s tolerance paradox of being intolerant towards intolerance. Or, in a less confusing way: if someone doesn’t adhere to the mutual rules set by a group of people (read “society”), those rules no longer apply to them.

Respectfully, do you know what incels are? Besides, while your advice is not wrong, I think it’s a bit too broad and OP specifically asked for places/forums. But it definitely holds some truth and utility.

I think he was being sarcastic, playing with words. Meaning, that you trade in time, runtime and memory and get nothing in return :D so a pretty bad trade haha.

Of course it’s worse, I mean, that was the point of this blogpost, wasn’t it? :p It’s just a (long) joke.

Best UX of the FOSS clients in my experience

Nailed it. No one can argue with that 🧠

Essentially because after they did something bad it’s likely too late. But others can explain this in more detail with more knowledge than I have.

This is a great example to explain it to people who are familiar with the topic. But if I tell that to a “random” friend, word for word, they won’t know what I’m talking about :D

Someone should make a post about why blocking Threads is good and why it’s not to be confused with gate keeping. If not properly communicated, this could look very badly for the uninitiated and they’re not to blame.

Some people of course have an educated opinion against blocking, but many presumably don’t know the reasons behind it.

Where do you live? I’m asking because my experience couldn’t be more different and I’m in Germany.

I’m also a man, went to therapy and my therapist was just fantastic! She could relate to me, gave excellent advice etc., really changed my life for the better.

PS: of course I didn’t have go anything or so, just if I’d miss a session ^^ (in theory, but even 30m late to a 50m session was still fine hehe)
