Oh boy. If you think this is bad, you should try waiting a few weeks or months after you're signed up this time, then sign up for a new account using your current details, just with a different email. Spoiler: if you can answer the security questions, you're home free.

And remember that between the Equifax leak and more recent hacks, at this point, every sensitive detail for every member of the economy is now in the hands of bad actors. If they want your shit, or into it, they'll social engineer it.

Should passwords have maximum character counts? Sure, to prevent overflow attacks (or whatever) by pasting five different analyses of the movie Primer as your password. It should be longer than 20 in any case. But are there other, way worse security issues? Yes.

Golden Orb Weavers are common in Australia. I took this pic back in 2016 to send to some of my friends back in the US who find a kind of intense fascination in spiders (and also in avoiding them). Note the banding on the legs, same as yours:

1password offers complete import from LastPass and both looks and works similarly. Same price, I think; better software, fewer and lower-severity CVEs, better handling of breaches when they do happen. It seems to offer everything you're looking for.

Edit: well bugger, critical flaw for 1password Mac app: https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/08/07/critical-1password-security-flaw-could-let-hackers-steal-unlock-key/

It's been patched, but not a good look when I just said they don't have super bad CVEs 😑 Still true, this is rare, but important to update and address it I think.

  • Mods are typically the people running - and paying for - the instance in most cases on Lemmy, and they tend to be active on the instances they run, so if you report a post it may well be to the person that made it.
  • Expect less active moderation and less content.
  • You'll probably see a lot of reposts and batches of posts from the same communities if you sort by "New".
  • Make liberal use of the "block" functions, for both users and communities.
  • Trolls, spam, DDOS attacks, etc etc, can be pretty common. Bugs seem to have smoothed out and are rarer than in the early days.
  • The Voyager client (on Android 14 at least) will reload if you switch away for more than a few seconds at a time. It'll save your text if you have a comment in progress, but make sure you have a way to get back to what you were reading (save, upvote, etc) if you switch away to find a GIF or link or something so you can pick up where you left off.

When giving feedback, it helps to avoid derogatory phrasing and instead specify what you don't like and why. The key word there being "specify". Otherwise, you don't have a point, and you'll come across like a dick.

Edit: okay, suffer an eternity of complaining about things that never get fixed; no skin off my nose.

Not sure if you saw elsewhere in the thread but Obsidian slows down the more notes you have because it doesn't have a DB. Trillium is DB-based (and thus so is TrilliumNext) so it can handle a lot more entries. OP said they've got 300,000 notes without a performance drop!

And you believed him? Why would you ever believe a word out of that guy's mouth?

What laws of our land were broken? Which statute? Has Obama been charged with anything and if so what? Because he didn't have immunity from criminal prosecution, remember, so if this is your example you're going to need to show that a former president a) had to break the law, b) couldn't have accomplished the thing with existing powers, and c) faced criminal prosecution for that "official act" when they shouldn't have, as a result of not having this immunity.

And this is my point exactly. Obama hasn't been prosecuted for those drone strikes, nor for the operation that killed Bin Laden; and he won't be, because those acts did not break United States law. When the President needs to do something most people can't, they use powers imparted under existing law - the president already has quite a lot of power, you know. In the few cases the President has needed more than that, they've had to go justify it and get the other branches on board, at least nominally (looking at you, Bush Jr, and sending the Guard to the middle east to get around needing Congress to send the regular Army ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ). This is the way the system was designed, with checks and balances on each branch.

Long story short I'm sorry to say I find your example lacking and my challenge remains unmet. I very much appreciate you engaging in good faith though, so thanks!
