Not a news article about it but here is a video showing you how it works/what happens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ_g9YfnjHQ

Never allow “Send notification” permission for “Bot verification purposes”. I heard a new type of fake “Captcha” where you need to execute a script ( with Windows + R and then pressing enter ) that will just execute a script and run malware.

About https://codeberg.org/ArtisanByteCrafter/pytube-gui/issues/7 Would it be ok if i try the playlist integration or do you want to do your things first?

Works pretty good but basic error handling is missing. I made a issue and a PR for it already. My first try at streamlit.

Haves a heart attack

Ahh yes i need to invite peace and gratitude into my heart.

A missleading title indeed…

Same thought here, why uploading it to proton drive? github isnt evil that they trying to snatch that code or whatever. If you are so cautious then ramp up a gitea or gitlab self hosted instance up.

and the HECK lot of data it REQUIRES to operate. Things that are just “Why do they need THAT?”, tiktok is of course not the only one but its very aggressive on this.

Thats has to be from the onion! ( I hope at least )

Same, linux is just so customizable and compatible with everything.

Faster startup, faster start of games, software etc, YOU control the software not otherwise around, installing and removing software is 1 button click ( not 100000 clicking through yes i read tos that i will never read … ), installation of software is quick, modern Desktop Linux distros really do not require that many terminal usages, FULL customisation of your desktop, windows, easier custom with quick one click installation and one click removal of course ( because on windows they just throw another “Hey you wanna use our other stuff” and still need to click through 5 clicks just to remove it. ), You dont need a itchy tpm2 chick for your encryption of hardware and its not required for installing basicly the OS, you can pack your software into virtual environments ( Flatpack or similar ) so that some software, e.g. Chrome doesnt have FULL access to your pc that they REALLY do not need, switching OS from linux to another linux distro is super easy because of the easy installation of apps, extensions and all that can be saved to a file and just installed from another distro, you can choose what to upgrade ( no more FORCED windows updates or suprise updates ), sometimes you screw something up in your OS on windows you would HOPE there is something written on the internet, on linux you can just plug in your live boot linux distro USB stick and then you can fix directly what you or some application broke. ( never happened that my distro just “broke” ). On many distributions there is already integrated backups, that incrementally saves your data, the compatibility with everything is just great, even virtualisation of windows is better on linux then windows to linux, there is a lot of options for communicating between devices ( for example files ) and there isnt really a monopoly by one drive by microsoft, everything on linux is less “corporized” so less ads on your desktop, less bloatware, YOU own it, not the CEO of microsoft.

Of course i see you there already:

“BUT windows didnt do anything bad…”

They screwed windows users already BADLY, for example they “accidentally” install a HP driver software FORCED and without knowledge, they installed/recommend 3rd party apps/websites on a fresh install of windows, that should NOT be on a pc that YOU own and didnt wanted ads. The bloatware that comes with windows, for example one drive, edge and microsoft store its just slowing your pc down, and after few updates your rtx 4090 TI pc feels like GT 460 pc because everything needs to run in the background.

In summary:

YOU own and controll your pc with linux, less bloatware, more customisation and less corporation spam

Its ok, everyone their favourite OS.

Sorry but i have to rant.

There is a lot of misleading information in this post.
Not misleading, straight to the point, on things no one else wanted to point out.

Correct the CSAM wave was handled by admins on their own. As far as I remember there were no specific feature requests that would have helped in this regard, and anyway they would have taken too long to implement and publish.

Yes we were put just aside because the feature we recommended was “pictrs” stuff.

There is a fundamental lack of confidence amongst a majority of Lemmy instance admins towards the lead developers of Lemmy.

Thats true and so far many instances ( i dont want to say who, because they should come out if they want to be known ) i and the lemmy.world team have many reports from users, admins that they want a better replacement for lemmy. ( e.g. Sublinks ).

The moderation is TERRIBLE after 0.19, the sorting totally wrong unchangeable, every “resolve” leads to page refresh ( have fun finding your report you left on ). New reports are just never seen again, because you cant sort by new. The “All” view is terrible in reports and private messages. Marking Private Messages as “read” just refreshes the page and on the ui doesnt change anything, but after refresh it is marked as read.

On 0.19 there are some occasions of untested things, like “Remove an admin” is not correctly translated. Something THAT primitive.

We / Jgrim never opened a feature request because we already got enough by seeing in the history of feature requests of others.

The ui gets just worse and worse, untested features goes to prod and not getting even a “Warning Untested feature” flag.
We know you are just some guys in their free time. But then why not take your time, test it, make sure everything works, then release it.
Quality is the key for a thriving software, not pushing versions like its a tournament on how many versions can someone push to prod.
You are not a big corpo that can deploy fast fixes that fix any issues that could block instances, so quality is here even a higher priority.

Chrome now with extra spyware and not being able to block ads and trackers! For the cheap price of your data.

They dont even have any good arguments anymore XD

Great explaination why python is not super good for such big project.

Because of that sublinks got created.

Correct. But those accusations that java was a bad choice i just cant have it. This isnt “I love Rust” or “I love XYZ Programming language” it was “F*ck you for using java”.
