Using ASCII in URLs is simple and is less error prone than “supporting” unicode via percent encoding. It is also just a convention to use ASCII for usernames in many platforms. ASCII is also supported out of the box in major OSes while some unicode characters might not. What about impersonation? And what about people trying to type in the username of someone that uses unicode? It is not logical to use unicode in this case.

Canta uses Shizuku to delete user and systen apps. There is also a few categories like Recommended, Advanced, Unsafe, etc. Most of the apps also have comments on it by the dev (I suppose).

Because URLs are usually in ASCII. That was a standard. Check RFC 1738 and 3986. Now, you can use percent encoding, but why use that. It just complicates things.

You won’t get non latin usernames anytime soon. But you can change the display name using non latin charactets

You can delete or disable the service that creates those stories. Download Shizuku and activate it, then use Canta to delete it.

I am a fan of hydrogen bombs

I never block anyone or any instance. I simply ignore them. I also use the subscribed feed, so what most of the people say about hexbear, lemmygrad, etc. content filling their feed also does not affect me.

That’s what uBlock Origin planned to do if YouTube ever decided to etch ads into the video stream itself.

I was just given a computer with unrestricted internet access and learnt it that way. Of course, the internet being unrestricted made me visit some questionable and illegal websites. Including CP and some hardcore NSFL using the tor browser. But I don’t regret it (other than the last points).

Looks like a fun community, I’ll join.

They only realized that when he said that? What a weird infosec team. I guess they also could use SimpleX if they wanted the most secure, private and anonymous option, but I think Signal is pretty well balanced as a messenger. Good privacy and usability.

I don’t know. I primarily use Mull on android because it is a hardened version of Firefox. No issues with it so far.

XMPP could have been great if it weren’t left to die. The clients look like from the 2000s and encryption is a mess to set up. We instead have Matrix, which is pretty resource intensive to run and has its own problems but it practically functions like XMPP.

Surprised that happened. Very rare to see that these days.

Fuck Nostr. Useless protocol used primarily by cryptobros and bots. Literally can’t contribute to the standardized federation protocol ActivityPub but can make one shitty protocol. The same shit as the AT protocol.

Long brainstorming sessions on how to implement my next Lemmy bot.

Yeah. For riseup VPN, Mullvad VPN exists. They support XMR and even give you a 10% discount because you used XMR.

Firefox’s sandboxing sucks ass (especially on Linux). Mozilla has still not implemented a better sandbox, despite the open discussion since years. GrapheneOS (a security and privacy focused aosp rom) uses Chromium for its browser Vanadium because it ultimately is undoubtedly more secure. Google pumps millions into their chrome security team.

So while not that good for privacy, chrome/chromium is better for security.

If that were to happen, the receiving end wouldn’t know who sent which vote, thus making spamming extremely easy.
