So my fear of sharks has gotten better, and I don’t quite understand why.

Curious 🏳️‍⚧️

But anyhow, you’ve probably found me because you’ve seen one of my totally inconspicuous comments

I’m open to chat about these and other related things over on Matrix

    Nightcore Rasputin absolutely slaps

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I was under the impression that the ability to export a project as a multi-page pdf has been added not long ago, but I might have to check

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Checked again to make sure, it's not very straightforward because it's not part of the Export menu:

    You simply have to do File > save a copy and save it as a pdf.

    I love this genre so much, I don't know why

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Can I just say... Lancia Stratos

    Oh, and the Detomaso Pantera GT5

    I wish I could sleep for eight hours straight. Though I wouldn't even mind waking up every now and then if I'd always fall asleep quickly in exchange.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Yeah

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Many apps share some data right at the start of the app though, before the consent form even pops up.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Outlook did that

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Four inches?? Huh???

    miss_brainfarts ,

    They do provide an apk outside of the Play Store, that uses a Web Socket for push notifications. Not he best way of going about it, but hey, it exists.

    Thank you, I needed one for my cereal^^

    miss_brainfarts ,

    What? It tastes good

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Every website that does this, repeat after me:

    PROGRESSIVE ENHANCEMENT

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Wait... what? What???

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Seems like a few countries should go over their laws again and prohibit those models from being sold. I don't know what else would be effective

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I'm not sure if we're ever going to get the full potential of a card out of NVK, but the fact that running them above base clock is now possible is pretty huge already.
    (Unless I misunderstood something, but I believe that's now a thing)

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Only if you tell your contacts about it, and explain to them what a bridge does

    miss_brainfarts , (edited )

    Take Signal to Matrix for example. They use different encryption protocols, which means a message sent from one end has to be decrypted, and then re-encrypted with the protocol of the recipient before they can actually receive it.

    So basically, your encryption is not very e2e anymore, and the fact that someone can set this up, effectively giving encryption keys to a third party without their contacts being able to do anything about it is pretty fucked.

    Oh, and different TOS between different services also come into play.

    So if you do this, at least tell your contacts about it, so they can make an informed decision about whether or not that's okay for them.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Do whatever you want, but again, make sure your contacts can make an informed decision about it.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    You're hitting the nail directly on the head.

    Not knowing what's going on being a bad thing is precisely my whole point

    miss_brainfarts ,

    It might be safe, it might work well and all, but it does defeat the point of 2FA, so I wouldn't want people to even know about it before they explored undeniably better and safer options, like Authenticator apps for their phones.

    But to be fair, many people around the world only have one single device, so 2FA becomes a difficulty. But that's the point where I'm not knowledgable enough anymore to see what the best way of going about it is.

    From my gut feeling, I'd rather put a dedicated TOTP App on a device than to use a browser extension.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    2FA being on a separate device is simply the most secure way of doing it. An attacker who gets access to some passwords for my accounts can't do a whole lot without also physically stealing my phone.

    It's simply an extra hurdle for malicious actors to go through.

    Though I guess in most cases, having any 2FA at all will probably already turn off a majority of attackers.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I could've worded it better, that's for sure.

    An attacker needs some form of access to your separate device. That describes it more accurately.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Many services and companies argue that metadata is not personal data, but even if that were true by definition of the word, the means to correlate metadata to a real person have existed for how long now?

    Just knowing that I receive messages, at certain times, in a certain app, might not be a lot on its own, but as soon as you cross-reference that with other users, it becomes a surveillance goldmine.

    And that's what many people seem to miss, I think.
    Individually, there might not actually be much, depending on how you use your device. But the word individually gets thrown out the window in our world where everything is interconnected 24/7.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I want her ass

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Depends on a lot of factors, maybe you're regaining that battery life elsewhere. But it is fact that several apps all doing their own thing will drain more battery than if they all relied on a single service like Firebase or UnifiedPush to wake them up

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Aegis Authenticator, in case someone was wondering what to use

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Okay but jokes aside, how many users actually have issues with that? So far it never broke anything for me, even when it apparently should have, according to a forum post I only read several weeks late, after finally noticing the intervention required tag

    miss_brainfarts ,

    There is one thing about interoperability that I don't see many people talking about:

    Your messages going to and being handled by other services means you'd be subject to their TOS and privacy policy as well.

    As long as services are transparent about it so users can make informed decisions based on it, that's generally fine.

    But then services like Beeper, or just Matrix bridges in general, make it so anyone can setup such a connection between services without their contacts even knowing about it.

    My Stallman Freedom Index is only a good 96

    I'm a fraud :(

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I'm gonna go AMD next time, but not before I ride my 970 all the way to the end

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Everyone talking about Kafka here, but...

    Yes, I wanna have a girls night out :D

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Actual malware, too. Even if you uninstall it, so many different bits are left over that still happily run in the background and might report god knows what back to base

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Stuff being free is hella convenient to me :D

    On that note, are you free this evening?

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Oh yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

    I have so much passionate hate for Adobe, if their headquarters ever burn down, everyone who knows me will think I did it

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Ok but seriously, Blender has being going like crazy ever since the 2.7 release. It is insane to me what this software can do today, while being FOSS

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I think GIMPs biggest issue is that it still doesn't have non-destructive editing with ajustment layers.

    It's the single most useful feature any kind of editing software can have. Not being able to use that makes any project that is more than a low-effort shitpost incredibly frustrating.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    🥺💜✨

    miss_brainfarts ,

    No wonder I'm not happy, my bootloader hasn't failed me once

    miss_brainfarts ,

    But seriously though, I cut off a good 30-40% from my GPUs power limit and would you look at that, I still enjoy the games I play.

    Have to run most of them at low to medium settings anyway, so might as well.

    Only thing left to improve it further would be undervolting, I should try that at some point.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Reflex at 100 fps still won't compare to 300 fps without Reflex though

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Currently using a GTX 970 on EndeavourOS, I believe tuxclocker can do undervolting, haven't tried it yet

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I've put it through absolute overclocking hell, and it still runs as happily as it always did, so there's that.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Reflex just shaves off the extra overhead you'd get from having the gpu run at its limit. It won't make a low framerate have the same latency as a drastically higher one

    miss_brainfarts ,

    Oh, absolutely. The higher-end you go, the more the product is tuned for balls to the walls power with no consideration for efficiency.

    As the extreme example, the 4090 can deliver almost 94% of it's full potential when limiting its power draw to about 70% and/or undervolting it.

    (Not exactly sure about the numbers, but you get the idea)

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I think I might be too dense to get what you mean, then

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I'm gonna be honest, I can't stand this argument.

    Yes, the people I send a message to are the last and weakest link in a long chain of making the transfer of that message happen.

    But that doesn't mean all the other links are irrelevant.

    miss_brainfarts ,

    I misunderstood, then. Sorry for that, my reply was a bit angry
