Web Development@programming.dev•I Audited the Privacy of Popular Free Dev Tools — The Results Are Terrifying
6·12 days agoI have never understood how a dev can be comfortable pasting a valid jtw Auth token into a random website to decode it, when there are several very good cli tools that will do this for you locally, faster, and much more securely
One huge advantage of a rolling distro is that generally only one thing can break at a time :)

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•How far back in time can you understand English? This site goes back by centuries allowing you to test yourself.
3·21 days agoIt was a good thread here too: https://lemmy.world/post/43447694
I guess the nature of the fediverse means that some post duplication is necessary for exposure coverage, lol, so who am I to accuse a repost of not suitably linking the source.
Depends on your magical mythos, I was thinking more Earthsea than D&D

3·21 days agoI’d disagree with that argument and draw an analogy with the short reactive pathways triggered by e.g. that thing where you tap a knee with a hammer and it jerks; I don’t think the reaction loop there counts as a sense, and only when you add in the CNS and perception of it does it even connect to one. But it’s hardly a cut’n’dried argument and I’m sure there’s a lot left to plausibly disagree on here

1·21 days agoI’m pretty sure I understood one whole sentence of 1100 but other than that 1200 is where I tap out.

Anyone can get a gun, not everyone can become a wizard. I think the analogy goes a different way.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Under British and UK Legislation anyone using or developing end-to-end encryption is now a “hostile actor”
4·23 days agohttps://blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/10/14/a-hack-is-not-enough/ this article makes a sadly excellent point in response to you here. Fair warning: it’s long. But even if you dip out early I assume you’ll get the point being made

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?
6·29 days agoIf I had a mouse for every time I’d seen Pushing Daisies mentioned on Lemmy, I’d probably have like hundreds of mice, because I’ve seen it mentioned twice and those things breed. It was absolutely excellent though and I was so gutted it never got another series. Maybe it was hit by a writers strike? Can’t remember how long ago it came out now.
