So from a security mindset, this is a nightmare. This person must be a paid plant for Big Cross-Site-Tracking

I welcome my human counterparts
Check out the current Luddite movement, this is their main complaint
That’s a different conversation. I’m talking about an adversary who just creates a Lemmy instance and has malicious code embedded in the images, videos and text
What does that have to do with any corporation? Facebook specifically is already in a lawsuit this last month about installing malicious Root Certificates and performing man in the middle attacks against Amazon and Google, so I’m not sure what you’re asking
Yeah, but the average internet users doesn’t understand these concepts. And with the use of “random-lemmy.random” it seems like it might be an easy attack to fall for
I think the chances are high since the domains are supposed to be novel, compared to Facebook which is a worldwide known domain and chances of impersonating it are slim or would require a client side hack
The quick defederarion option is a nice defense. Could be some damage in the meantime though
Either or. Would be more nefarious to have users sign up for a malicious instance unknowingly and then federate with non malicious instances
How much time do you estimate (or know) you spend on these other apps?
HEY FELLOW HUMAN, MAYBE YOU NEED TO JUST EMBRACE THE ODDITIES OF THE INTERNET AND JOIN THE PACK. RARELY DO PACK MEMBERS TALK ABOUT COMPUTERS OR BRAINS!
SERIOUSLY, IT’S BEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET
(ANY SIBLINGS OUT THERE THAT CAN LINK THIS FEDIVERSE STYLE?)
[Quip that adds to your comment, but also shows some personality on my end]
Maybe T-shirt and local conversations at 3rd places might help?
This is such a bummer of comment on so many levels. It’s like the tragedy of the commons became sentiment and chose nihilism
True, I was thinking man made
The prompt didn’t specify it had to be something in my lifetime
A single moment without radiowaves
Well, if you use credit cards that data gets tracked, stored, mined for years to come, not to mention the dozens of internet servers it took for you to buy that bread in the immediate. If you use cash, I’d assume some local authorities use extra AI to track your movements via cloud cameras (plus fiat isn’t fungible since it has serial numbers)
It would be nice to hear the “pro-[insert your local fiat]” energy use when people argue environmentalism against cryptocurrencies
exactly
yeah not sure. are there ways to rip a drm physical album to audio file?
Hopefully the author explains how to use SSL/TLS since their site doesn’t :/
