It's like in American shows, they just speak English with a foreign accent (potentially unrelated to the location).

oce , 25 days ago

I don't particularly love them, but subtitles are just part of daily life in any non-English speaking countries given the amount of English speaking media being produced, so most of the world are used to them.
I think quite a lot of English natives also use subtitles on English media because of sound mixing or sound system issues that make dialogues hard to hear.

Anyways, it's just a little jest, if you enjoy this trope, I am happy for you.

You can conviniently block a whole instance from your account now, it reduces this kind of disagreement a lot.

If I’m not allowed to have a discussion or disagreement with you, and get kicked out instead, I’ll just go to places where they will talk with me

I actually tried to, and if it was possible to have rational and polite discussion, without straw man arguments, dog pilling, personal attacks and finally threats of violence, I would have continued to try.
But sadly all of this happen, multiple times.

At some points I considered leaving Lemmy, thinking that this federation as a whole was not safe for debating. But then I started understanding patterns, either it was from the users from a specific instance, or it was communities from a specific instance that turned like that. Overall the pattern seem to be that if the instance mentions extreme political ideologies in its description or if the profiles of its admins do, then debating is not possible.

If they want to stay connected to people to avoid the circle jerk, they have to work on themselves too (ex: learning to debate politely), you can't except us to absorb all the damages to help them avoid radicalization. It's like walking towards a terrorist group with flowers while they are shooting around and expecting them to be inspired by your pacifism.

I do enjoy debating and questioning my own beliefs, but I am not on Lemmy to consume my mental health, so I need to take some actions to protect it.

oce , 25 days ago

I think you are correct, but not having the opportunity to participate in a thread on those instances because you can't see them anymore is part of the ways to avoid troubles.

oce , 24 days ago (edited 24 days ago)

Lemmygrad and Hexbear are the most obvious ones, sadly lemmy.ml is also part of them in my experience despite not being obvious about it (you have to check the admins and mods profile to see the link) and having some good content when it's not about politics such as tech. There may also be some defederated by my home instance admins that I may not be aware of.

Uncomfortable, mayby, for having to read information you oppose?

dog pilling, personal attacks and finally threats of violence [...]

Not all violence is physical.

I think many people need to grow a little thicker skin in that regard.

Are you blaming me for not having a tick enough skin instead of blaming the behavior of attackers? Please reconsider that thought.

I'd be curious to see if this actually enforced and for how long. I see companies cutting costs on security all the time. You can't really trust them with anything else than creating and optimizing processes to make money. I'd rather see public regulators eat their turnover until they comply.

Looked it up, it relates to the behavior after a natural disaster. I think that's quite a specific situation that gives everyone a common goal to work on for a relatively short period. I also think it suddenly interrupts a situation where there was a government, so people are still acting as citizens. Outside of such event, I am not sure people would work together as much. I can think of many examples where the weakening or absence of government leaves room for religious extremist organization (Irak under ISIS) or criminal organizations (Haiti currently) which are pretty much "might is right".

Sorry I didn't know you would think I had to spend a couple of days reading a book in order to be able to discuss your point.

I made the effort to look up your reference, so I could understand what you said. Did you ever make such effort with mines?
Now instead of using those few lines to explain to me what I may have missed, you wrote those lines to attack me. I think you could have ended it before falling to such a low quality argumentative level.

I think in European law, for data to be anonymous, not only there should be no personal identifying information but also there should be no identifiers that allow to link non personal data together to trace the behavior of a single person. https://www.edps.europa.eu/system/files/2021-04/21-04-27_aepd-edps_anonymisation_en_5.pdf

Do you mean not aggregated? Do you mean aggregating different kinds of data, or do you mean grouping together the same data for a category?

oce , 2 months ago

I think this means you still have some identifier that allows to link those data to a single person. This is quite explicitly not considered anonymization by the gdpr.

If your security relies on hidden information then it's at risk of being broken at any time by someone who will find the information in some way. Open source security is so much stronger because it works independently of system knowledge. See all the open source cryptography that secures the web for example.
Open source poc and fix increases awareness of issues and helps everyone to make progress. You will also get much more eyes to verify your analysis and fix, as well as people checking if there could other consequences in other systems. Some security specialists are probably going to create techniques to detect this kind of sophisticated attack in the future.
This doesn't happen with closed source.
If some system company/administrator is too lazy to update, the fault is on them, not on the person who made all the information available for your to understand and fix the issue.

oce , 2 months ago

Crowd sourcing vulnerability analysis and detection doesn’t make open source software inherently more secure.

It does, because many more eyes can find issues, as illustrated by this story.

Closed source isn't inherently bad, but it's worse than open source in many cases including security.

I think you're the only one here thinking publishing PoC is bad.

Then please explain why the reasons specified here are false belong that argument from authority.

oce , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

No I don't think you said I was entirely wrong, that part was clear enough.

My issue is more with your argument from authority and personal experience. It is very easy to be biased by personal experience, especially when it brings good money.

access controls and supply chain management and traditional security mechanisms.

So I'll put my personal experience too (which is also a low value argument). From the outside it may seem this is well done in big companies. But the reality is that this is often a big mess and security often depends on some guy, if any, actually having some standards and enforcing them, until they leave because the company doesn't value those tasks. But since it's closed source, nobody knows about it. With open source, there's more chance more people will look at this system and find issues.
I don't doubt some ultra sensitive systems like nuclear weapons have a functional closed source security process because the government understands the risk well enough. But I think there are way more closed source systems, at lower danger level but which still impacts people's security, that are managed with a much lower standard than if they were open-sourced.

In this case, downgrading to the not affected version. If there's no possible downgrade, stopping the compromised system until it is fixed.
Keeping the vulnerable system up because you think nobody else should know is a bet, I don't think it's sound. State actors are investing a lot to find and exploit those vulnerabilities, in this case probably even funded the implementation of the vulnerability, so I think you should assume that any vulnerability you discover is already used.

oce , 2 months ago

That's a good point, but wasn't the micro benchmarking possible, published and analyzed because it is open source? Also the vulnerability analysis, impact analysis and fix can be peer reviewed by more yes.

You have provided no valuable argument except "believe my experience", so I am answering with an equally weak one. Provide me some good quality study and I will be happy to change my mind. I recognize this lack of enlightening information is pretty aligned with closed source philosophy.

oce , 2 months ago

I think some of this data is actually available for open source projects by scanning public repositories, although it would be a lot of work to collect it.

oce , 2 months ago

A lot of straw man arguments. Overall, I think we agree on the value of open source.
