You can have it set so it fails to boot with secure boot disabled. Not part of my threat model but AFAIK it’s default even for Windows FDE.

I am but with self enrolled keys. People wildly misunderstand secure boot, it’s more for kernel/boot level malware and so it can be used with module signing.

It is very much unmaintained, I assume they will just let it break since only like 5 people use it still

I might actually have to instance block lemmy.world if it’s too bad since it attracts the worst kinds of new users due to open registration.

It creates pretty productivity related graphs your manager/PM loves, that’s the real usage.

Lemmy has a similar problem (with lemmy.world)

I know this is a joke but you can get more throughput with async I/O for this use case. It lacks a good punchline though

Good.

Props for admitting it and coming around. No one is immune to propaganda

A lot of these crashes were caused by third party security software injecting code into firefox. There was also some malware, and utilities like driver helpers.

I don’t have precise numbers, but you may be able to search for it.

From what I understood, it’s a requirement for a local API (for apps to use) and could be implemented during user creation.

It will be a slippery slope and IANAL, just my interpretation.

This is (extremely obvious) vibe coded. Also client side validation for permissions and other security issues

I would read your review of various day to day items.

That’s odd (but believable), I think every server I ever used required a sign up to be manually approved so if you use one with open registration they may have stricter moderation for new users.

I have a pretty good guess. They were using ShellExecute or a similar API with only "notepad” as a name or “edit” as a verb. The search order would end up finding your shortcut first.

This would be odd behavior (the path should be be the full path and start at system32) but I don’t have IE6 and Windows 95 to find the exact API lol.

Each instance admin decides whether they require an email. Mine doesn’t, but it’s more important to choose an instance with admins you trust and not located in the US.

Don’t use your real email regardless of instance.

This will go well. But some people want lemmy to be like reddit, shitty politics and censorship inclusive.

I believe I used it on reddit, long ago but there were no ads. I was surprised since no other client I know of has them (and no lemmy server has ads).

I use voyager, it’s great.

They may even switch CEOs if the situation worsens, but the practices remain.
