this has also been my (limited) experience with dbus. Unusable for mere mortals (people who don't have extensive experience with it and don't have time to just read the source code and piece it together), by way of being almost completely undocumented.
It seems like a really useful thing that would be 5x better if it was more easily usable/documented
idk, this one doesn't seem that unhinged in the grand scheme of things. Like obviously the behavior was unacceptable, but I think its a position many pretty reasonable people could find themselves in.
I was thinking of people outside of lemmy entirely, but yah
Honestly its possible I was just thinking of the youtuber who taught a pug to do a nazi salute
This is like 1 or 2 steps removed from the "functional medicine" fuckheads that my mom was introduced to a year or two ago and is now pretty into. Thankfully she's not at the point of eating red meat and butter and eggs exclusively but there's some kooky stuff in there and the fact that you can find licensed doctors promoting every fucking variety of horrible misinfo makes my blood boil
Audacity is the actually FOSS answer, afaik. I've used it a lot, but not for music (much). It's not a DAW, but if it's just recording and stitching tracks together it will 100% work, and with some effort you can do fancier stuff.
There's also Ardour and Zrythm which are more real DAWs Ithink? but I know nothing about them. Maybe try ardour if you already know you don't want to do audacity
this fucking website is gonna be an absolute goldmine of horrible gamer/weeb takes isn't it?
::: spoiler CW mentions of CSAM Completely conflating drawn CSAM with "fanservice" repeatedly, insisting its fine because its just drawings and could have no impact on the real world, and the usual gamer/otaku takes on women in video games, etc.
Then I just decided to check their front page and see if there was more garbage, and immediately found an example of them complaining about their sexed up video game characters being sanitized by wokies or whatever for unrealistic body proportions, and the writer clapped back saying x character was actually based on a 3d scan of a real life model. A) that doesn't mean it isn't promoting an unrealistic beauty standard just because it isn't physically impossible. and B) I clicked through to the tweet source on that, and then to the account for the game it was promoting, and the character shown on the game's profile had thighs and asses and boobs like twice as big as the IRL model. Amazing work all around. :::
This is all true, but there's more to worry about than just feds. Similar deanonymization attacks can be leveraged by fascists and liberals who want to harass our users. Not compelling google to reveal IPs, sure, but linking to a malicious domain (and obscuring the link destination with markdown), or to a targeted social media post and seeing who interacts, or a bunch of other vectors.
No reason to make attackers jobs easier, but also true that even the most careful of us should not feel a false sense of security
Not sure what multi account containers buys in this context, I think the default behavior of firefox mostly mitigates the 3rd party tracking that used to be rampant. Maybe I'm just not thinking though. They'd still get your IP, and the fact that you clicked on a link shared by x other person?
I guess it would open links posted on hexbear in the hexbear container, on which you won't be logged into the other site? But iirc common practice for sites you do have a sign in for is to auto-open them into their own container so you'd have to be configuring it pretty paranoid-ly.
Attempting to work around and mitigate these issues at the site level is probably a good idea, because people individually will not all be so careful. But it has to be done in as like, convenient a way as possible, otherwise it'll just piss users off
