  • Fediverse still going strong and stabilizing

  • I had a similar problem with Lemmy.one. It was the push I needed to move over to Piefed, and I'm glad I did.

  • Thanks Willy.

  • Republicans sue to block Newsom's gerrymandering, point to legislative gamesmanship

    Jump

  • Are you making similarreplies to posts about conservatives? Or are you only try to sour peoples views of democrats? I see a lot of "what about Israel" posts any time a democrat is mentioned. But those same people don't seem to give a damn that republicans are not only doing the same or worse with Israel, but also trying to destroy America.

    The destroy America is what this whole post was about, and for some reason you felt compelled to bring up Israel. And I have no problem saying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and the US is not only complicit, but seeming encuaging it, but that has nothing to do with this post.

  • What foss MP games are still active?

    Jump

  • For games where there is a list of servers, it would be cool to have a central software like gamespy to let players know where the other players are.

  • Sweden prime minister under fire after admitting that he regularly consults AI tools for a second opinion

    Jump

  • One thing I struggle with AI is the answers it gives always seem plausable, but any time I quiz it on things I understand well, it seems to constantly get things slightly wrong. Which tells me it is getting everything slightly wrong, I just don't know enough to know it.

    I see the same issue with TV. Anyone who works in a compicated field has felt the sting of watching a TV show fail to accurate represent it while most people watching just assume that's how your job works.

  • ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing

    Jump

  • There is the case of the worriers. People who, when not given positive confirmation otherwise, assume the worst. I'm not talking cheating, but like accidents. "He's 5 minutes late, maybe he got in a car accident and died!" It's not healthy, but it is common and isn't a trust issue.That said, my partner doesn't get to track me, and I have no interest in tracking them.

  • Password manager by Amazon

    Jump

  • LastPass's biggest problem was that they were almost the first in the game, and mistakes/choices they made 20 years ago bit them hard when they got hacked.

    There were two major issues with LastPass's security model:

    1. Non-Password data wasn't encrypted. So usernames and urls were visible by the people who stole the vaults.
    2. Passwords were encrypted with a number of iterations based on when the account was created, so older accounts were only run through a single iteration. The iteration process makes it much harder to guess the master password(by making it take a longer time). So single iteration makes it pretty quick to guess the password.

    So with flaw 1 you could see what vaults might have valuable passwords like banks and crypto wallets. And with flaw 2 you could reasonably quickly break into the vaults of long time users.

    So aside from their lax security allowing the compromise to happen in the first place (Nothing is fool proof), they weren't providing the level of protection most people assumed.

    More modern password managers like BitWarden fixed those problem a long time ago.

  • KDE Plasma Bigscreen (Android TV alternative) is back from dead

    Jump

  • Being Linux, if you were really motivated, you could probably write a shim service that converted CEC to basic input that it does support, or someone out there probably already has.

  • You are probably correct that the firewall is the culprit. Good suggestion.

    I realize disabling the firewall for testing is OK, but I recommend looking up what it takes to open the ports or app in the firewall instead. I've spent my whole career running into and fixing instances where techs disabled firewalls for "testing" and never re-enabled them.

  • KDE Plasma Bigscreen (Android TV alternative) is back from dead

    Jump

  • As others have mentioned, the websites tend to be limited both by resolution and functionality.

    My TV supports CEC(most do these days) which will pass the remote input onto the devices connected to it, like a computer. Which means with Plasma Big Picture I can navigate with my remote, and any app that supports navigation with simple arrow key input would work great.

    Unfortunately, the streaming websites, last time I tried, absolutely suck at that and assume you are navigating with a mouse.

  • Glad to see it being picked back up. I tried it previously and I really didn't like it. It felt half baked. The new version looks like a substantial improvement. Now if only every streaming app didn't lock their services behind DRM and mobile apps.

  • "Beehive", an unnofficial, unsanctioned, unassociated Mineclonia server with seed "beehaw" is up!

  • I jumped in and had a look around. I'd recommend making a welcome area around where the new player spawn is. A little lighting and a few signs for the rules would be helpful.

  • Machine learning is a subset of the AI branch of computer science. I agree that the pop culture definition of AI is different than the computer science one, but the computer science one is still valid.

  • PieFed.World is now open

    Jump

  • Interstellar is what I'm using. Generally usuable, but certainly doesn't understand the things that make PieFed special. With so many of the major Lemmy instances spooling up secondary piefed instances, it means it is probably only a matter of time before this issue is resolved.

  • PieFed.World is now open

    Jump

  • It's pretty critical to topic feeds. The app I'm using doesn't understand the link consolidation thing that Piefed offers, so I'll see 5 of the same post all together in it. Really I just need to start using a PWA instead of the app until Piefed has better app support.
