Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmyvision
My friends and I were trying to figure out how to set up an isolated WWW resistant to censorship and found identi.ca.
We set up an instance but never federated and used to to send memes to each other for years.
I did create an account on one of the federating services but it was rough back then. No one was tagging their post languages so it was like 10 or so different languages mixed together. I loved it.
Because while I find Lemmy great, it's not for everyone. Some of that is the people, some of that the form factor. With PixelFed groups, we'll have a new influx of users and groups to interact with. What's not exciting about that?
Same idea as new-reddit with its 'views'. It doesn't make sense how some post on a local subreddit gets a few hundred impressions immediately, even when posted at 4am. Meanwhile the actual organic comments on the same post follow the average human wake/sleep cycle
I wonder if advertisers are also fooled by those numbers, or if they use a different way of measuring
Well, this tells us that more privacy minded people with a background or interest in technology tend to be more present/engaging on Fediverse platforms. Not really surprising.
I don't understand the point the posts are trying to make. If an attacker can get at the SQL database, they must have remote access, i.e. the system is compromised somehow. What's stopping them from getting at anything else? Why should we concerned about the database specifically?
I think the point might be that any other program on your pc can access that db. Which would obviously be very bad. If that is the case I would think it would be patched.
More and more games are shipping with mega sus kernel level anti cheat which can (and does according to their EULA) take screenshots and files from your PC to make sure you "aren't cheating".
Valorant, for example, is made by riot, owned by tencent, owned by the Chinese government, and has a nasty kernel anti cheat in it.
So this means that with essentially no effort or changes the Chinese gov can just take this file and related screenshots of everything you do wrapped in a bow
