I was going to suggest an attack similar to what I’d assume the guys in your link achieved—the actual data on the flash chip can be dumped easily, so if you can figure out the encryption algorithm used, you don’t need a whole lot of computational power to brute force a 15 digit numeric key (a couple of high end GPUs would probably get you there in an hour or so) and decrypt the dumped data.

Here comes a new wave of users, I guess

Kinda thought they’d manage to go a bit longer than the few months they did

We have an equivalent GDPR legislation that’s mostly the same except the Tories carved out a few exemptions for the police (of course they did). Requesting your data, I believe, is still a thing though, and tbh I think you may have been able to do this under the 1998 data protection act. I may be misremembering though as I mentally threw that knowledge in the bin once GDPR came around.

Working fine for me too, What’s happened OP?

Weirdly, that’s bandcamp today. Apparently they’re doing a thing where everything you buy today, they will give their usual cut to the artist too.

Shame it’s not all the time, but I guess bandcamp needs to pay for servers, etc.

Lidarr + Plex is the one for me

The more simple approaches have already been tried and tend to die before they live.

Social media requires a network effect in order to be successful. Given the established players have had nearly 2 decades to accumulate vast networks, it would be a huge uphill struggle to start from zero content and users. Federated & decentralised social media is the answer to this—you get a network for free, giving the software a chance to stand on its own merits.

For this to all work correctly, they must all talk the same, ideally standard, language (the activitypub protocol) and for decentralised software to actually be decentralised, there can be no single point of failure (therefore caching). As someone mentioned, SSO is inherently centralised, even with something like OpenID, if your authority is down, your account is unusable, so it wouldn’t really add much to the experience as it stands (and possibly may risk complicating it more for new users).

I can’t believe you were able to ask that with a straight face

Legitimately, I want one exclusively so I can get told the wash is done and then I can put it on for an extra spin all from the pub round the corner from my house and then arrive home just as it’s finishing

Personally speaking, and I don’t think it’s too controversial of a view, but I kinda like that about lemmy.

I have come to hate “personal” focused social media and prefer “content” focused social media. I don’t care about random people or someone hoping to become an internet personality, I’m here for varied content and a selection of opinions in the comments. I don’t want those comments to be from the same people, and if they are, I’d prefer to be oblivious to that. I kinda like how lemmy goes further than Reddit in that it gets rid of cumulative karma counts too, hopefully means we avoid seeing a Lemmy equivalent of karmawhoring.

There was loads of high effort OC on Reddit, people typically weren’t doing it to create a presence (and if they were, they couldn’t have picked a harder platform to accomplish that, other than maybe 4chan)

A festive mimic

Good luck getting a copy if you don’t already have one, scalpers have already raided everywhere.

Edit: apparently the Christmas drinking has affected my reading comprehension

Still a warning for anyone else thinking the same

That’s some good text rendering for AI

I suspect the angle is something around avoiding regulation, they were happy with the previous “we’re just a platform” arrangement where they could hold their hands up and waive responsibility for the content and users on it. Now that’s actively being remediated by various governments, I think they’re hoping they can make claims of reduced responsibility for what’s on their site if it can come from elsewhere in the fediverse.

I’m not sure about specifics, but my gut feeling is that this is the angle

I’m imagining that the flap is behind the LCD, and now I’m wondering if anyone ever made a VHS deck like that

It’s not all wrapped up in a complete package and definitely won’t find equivalents for every feature, but there’s some userscripts on !plugins@sh.itjust.works

(Full disclosure, I wrote a simple one to customise the community bar at the top and posted it there)

Not really sure what to make of that but I’m glad to know that Reagan is in the underworld at least

!quackers@lemmy.world

Old habits die hard for me and I’m glad they’ve got mlmym on https://old.lemmy.world, it’s my default on the desktop now

If anyone is doing the same and misses the community bar customisation from RES, I cobbled together a little userscript to do this

Hopefully someone else finds it useful too
