It always feels like YouTube is double dipping though. Not with what the post is about; that’s either/or, obviously.

But Google makes a nice profit collecting user data and behavior, and then selling that to advertising companies. That happens regardless of using an adblocker, and I’d be shocked if it doesn’t also happen regardless of YT premium.

But at the same time, Google also IS an advertising company; they use their user data collection platform to also show ads to users, getting paid again.

So personally, even if YT wasn’t owned and operated by a shitstain of a capitalist eldritch horror company, I’d still have zero qualms blocking all their ads: they’re making money off of me regardless.

Yeah, not having ads in the phone app, the TV app, the music app on the phone or in the browser is really nice, I love it. Also got that for all my friends and family.

Never paid YouTube a dime though :)

Tale your AI shit out of here

If you use nixos, you basically have to know/learn/use day-to-day the nix language.

nixpkgs are written using nix the language, using concepts mostly familiar from just using nixos.

Basically everyone using nixos is capable of contributing packages.

Ah, sorry. https://repology.org/repositories/graphs

Just gonna leave this here

That’s a really well argued paragraph. But have you considered: why pet shaped if not for petting?

(Jokes aside though. Point taken. But there’s nothing you can say to keep me from talking to them in baby talk from now on when I’m out gardening amongst them. Who’s a big stripey boy? Yes you are, aren’t you? :))

Wait I can PET BUMBLEBEES?!

Despite having a native Linux build, BAR is the one thing keeping my GF on windows. BAR runs flawlessly for her on windows, it runs flawlessly for me on Linux, but on her GPU on Linux, it has less than 3fps, both in the menu and the game. (Have already tried a shitton of fixes, nothing helped.)

Not arguing that. Of course there’s worse things.

But you must also acknowledge that it’s trivial to make this a non-issue. For example, I’ve seen lots of places where the door opens outwards with a kick. Or, even better (if slightly less space efficient) just have no door at all, and instead a short entrance with two 90 degree turns.

I think this is something that more and more places do anyways, basically any modern-ish place I’ve been to in recent years do the no-door-thing.

So? Like a their to half of people (sorry don’t remember the stat, just remember being shocked how high it was) do not wash their hands after using public toilets.

Why would I want to touch that doorhandle.

rmpc is great. But TUI, so not for everyone, I know.

So what. I’m sleeping, remember?

Obviously next to House. He wants his seat neighbors to stfu and let him sleep. I want the same. It’s perfect.

Definitely, yeah

Oh, whew! Just grooming then, that’s A-OK!

Huh - you’re right. I went back to Signal’s X3DH spec because I was sure I was right, but it seems I misremembered how the “prekey bundles” work: Users publish these to the server, allowing (in my original assumption) for the server to just swap them out for a server/attacker-controlled key bundle for each Alice and Bob.

However, when Alice wants to send Bob an initial message and she gets a forged prekey bundle, Bob will simply not be able to derive the same key and communication will fail, because Bob knows what his SPK private key is, while the server only knows the public key.

A compromised server would allow the server to man-in-the-middle all new connections (as in, if Alice and Bob have never talked to each other before, the Server/Eva can MITM the x3dh key exchange and all subsequent communication). That’s why verifying your contact’s signatures out-of-band is so important.

(And if you did verify signatures in this case, then the issue would immediately be apparent, yes.)

Edit: I was wrong. See below.

That’s why safewords should be passphrases! /s

Hold on, actually no, not /s

Is this some sort of public tracker issue I’m too private trackers and Usenet only to understand?
