Absurd. An attempt to establish your own religion as the dominant religion is not a result of a specific bias against Jews, as antisemitism implies. It is a belief that oneself is superior that results in a bias against anyone who is different

Calling it antisemitic is a tacit prioritization of your own marginalization over the marginalization of others, which fundamentally comes from the same mindset

All that is baseless capitalist propaganda

In the US, the Government does not represent the people, but those who buy elections. The people who buy elections have no incentive to change anything, and nothing will change in absence of a violent communist revoution

Ohhh, code that is distributed. The implication of that word flew over my head lmao, thanks for the clarification.

Closed source software can still be audited using reverse engineering techniques such as static analysis (reading the disassembly) or dynamic analysis (using a debugger to walk through the assembly at runtime) or both.

How are you going to do that if it’s software-as-a-service?

Did you think they cared about accessibility?

It’s a pretty good webapp

nyaa.si is great, I seldom search anywhere else

Btw, it’s really hard to get malware from video files, unless you double click on file.mp4.exe or something

Shouldn’t be yet - for facebook (I’m not fucking calling them meta) to track you across the internet on websites you don’t use, they use a tracking pixel - a 1 pixel image that is included on the webpage which is loaded from facebook.com. To load this image your web browser sends facebook.com the cookies it always sends to facebook.com - i.e. your login information, and that’s how facebook knows that it’s you on that random-ass website that has nothing to do with facebook.

But note - you have to have cookies on facebook.com for this to work. So long as you never visit lemmy.facebook.com or whatever tf their federated instance is, they won’t be able to track you since they can’t associate you with your login via the tracking pixel - If I go to another lemmy instance, that lemmy instance has no idea that I’m actually @theblueredditrefugee@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Well, this is based on my knowledge of how facebook tracking works. Maybe it’s changed since I worked there.

Edit: Should note that, obviously, everything you post on lemmy is public, keeping a log of everything a user posts should be pretty easy, like what they did with revddit and such before the apipockalypse.

lmao I thought I was dumb for not understanding despite having a BS in CS. Distributed systems are just inherently confusing (and I took distributed systems in college!). Definitely gonna be something that I contribute to on github though, it’s just a matter of time before I learn what I need to learn

Just did it, and it worked! Bit of a trick but wasn’t as hard as I anticipated so that’s awesome

Do you happen to know of a replacement for Youtube Vanced? It stopped getting supported due to cease and desist, and now it only works like half the time… (idk why youtube doesn’t create a version check and make it not work all the time, but w/e lmao I’ll take what I can get)
