In our testing, the VPN always continued to report as connected, and the kill switch was never engaged to drop our VPN connection.

This is the only place they mention kill switch. I feel like it needs a slight clarification on whether it was enabled and didn’t work, or if was just disabled and therefore not “engaged”.

Just switch to GNU/Hurd

They change it all the time for funsies

Who’s Joe

The guy in charge of this place

No they’re not. And the tech literate people that will see that they can disable this protection and continue as normal.

Microsoft doesn’t always do good things, but I think this is fine. If you open firefox it’ll ask you if you want to set your default browser, and it won’t regedit for you. It will open up the proper windows menu that lets you set firefox as the default.

Not letting malware change your settings by default is a GOOD thing. It is also a good thing that advanced users can disable the feature.

The only bad thing about the story is the lack of transparency. Having to find out about it by breaking tools is bad. It would be better if they had a changelog for these updates that say what they do so admins can see if their tools will be affected.

Do not take worm bile if you are allergic to worm bile.

Dang good catch on the second user, I wouldn’t have noticed since I usually don’t look at people’s profiles.

It’s kind of funny that reddit will become this chamber of advertisers making posts and fake users “engaging” while the real people all migrate to lemmy.

Like the other person said, it’s not meant to always fail the first time you enter any password.

It is meant to fail the first time you enter the correct password.

That sounds nice, I’ll try that out

Dang, the shared grocery list and meal planning was the best part of it.

I also quit whisk when it became samsung food. Does CopyMeThat let you have shared lists with other people?

Great response on why NFTs are lame for what most are being used for.

I play some blockchain games where the NFT represents digital items, and the only real use case for it being on blockchain is having the marketplace to trade in game items for money. And that doesn’t even need to be blockchain, it’s like an overengineered steam marketplace.

I wouldn’t say it needs serious work, I kind of like the homebrewed look of it, but there’s a lot of wasted space in the form of padding on mobile. I think the list of posts could just take up the full screen width and it’d be good.

Took a look and the article title is misleading. It says nothing about trust in the technology and only talks about not trusting companies collecting our data. So really nothing new.

Personally I want to use the tech more, but I get nervous that it’s going to bullshit me/tell me the wrong thing and I’ll believe it.

You never do

It has an extra finger

It’s not really fixable, right? They’re technically doing what the platform was made to do.

I hope lemmy gets some super interesting posts that become core lore for the entire user base like this one was for reddit.

The more I learn about web3/crypto, it is increasingly getting closer to real life financials with all the same pitfalls and extra crypto problems
