Privacy and security concerns, most of them are like big tech on wheels. See Telsa and others spying on users during intimate moments. Also most have major security vulnerabilities.

Just hotspot, unlimited data. Also donating to a nonprofit

Very cool! Yeah can you have multiple SSID channels? Can you set the DNS? Does it perform as you’d expect?

Hopefully the author explains how to use SSL/TLS since their site doesn’t :/

Seriously. It isn’t helpful towards the environment if we are using so many resources to mine chips and metals and then push it along the internet to then be trained on said AI bots. Would be more sustainable using paper and planting trees smh

Also the internet uses massive amounts of water and energy

I welcome my human counterparts

Check out the current Luddite movement, this is their main complaint

Article is from 2023

That’s a different conversation. I’m talking about an adversary who just creates a Lemmy instance and has malicious code embedded in the images, videos and text

What does that have to do with any corporation? Facebook specifically is already in a lawsuit this last month about installing malicious Root Certificates and performing man in the middle attacks against Amazon and Google, so I’m not sure what you’re asking

I think the chances are high since the domains are supposed to be novel, compared to Facebook which is a worldwide known domain and chances of impersonating it are slim or would require a client side hack

The quick defederarion option is a nice defense. Could be some damage in the meantime though

Either or. Would be more nefarious to have users sign up for a malicious instance unknowingly and then federate with non malicious instances

Maybe add to the caveat if it’s internet connected? I kinda like some old apps that don’t require network access and don’t really need an update (think guitar tuners, the frequency of a note hasn’t changed and as long as the underlining OS API still runs then I don’t see much of a problem)

HEY FELLOW HUMAN, MAYBE YOU NEED TO JUST EMBRACE THE ODDITIES OF THE INTERNET AND JOIN THE PACK. RARELY DO PACK MEMBERS TALK ABOUT COMPUTERS OR BRAINS!

SERIOUSLY, IT’S BEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET

(ANY SIBLINGS OUT THERE THAT CAN LINK THIS FEDIVERSE STYLE?)

[Quip that adds to your comment, but also shows some personality on my end]

Maybe T-shirt and local conversations at 3rd places might help?

The data wasn’t stolen, I can at least assure you of that

Thanks!

Any ideas on how to promote content creation on fediverse video platforms like Peertube? A lure of YT for creators is the money sadly
