If you use iCloud with a family plan you can use another family member’s phone to find your iPhone via Find My.

I was going to say this. Get a hold of the profit margins at your local national fast food chain restaurant and tell me again the profits aren’t that high. 😂

Plain HTTP means anyone between you and the server can see those credentials and gain access.

It it using HTTP Basic Auth by chance? It would be so easy to put nginx (or some other reverse proxy with TLS) in front and just pass the authentication headers.

Especially with music, if any of this is plain HTTP (or any other plaintext, non-encrypted protocol) and you live in a lawsuit happy jurisdiction you might end up with piracy letters in the mail.

Maybe write an anonymous tip to those authors to let them know what’s up

I started learning HTML at the age of 10 using FrontPage and Word. There were entire utilities dedicated to stripping out Word’s atrocious HTML at the time.

I’ve always wished Markdown was better supported in email. I work with external companies’ APIs a lot where email is the medium, and typically I use a Windows monospace font for code snippets (I’m on macOS but there are a handful of monospaced fonts that work on both).

It’s very clunky, and I wish the backtick notation would work out of the box. Whoever decided HTML in email was the way to go should be shot.

IPv6. Stop engineering IoT junk on single-stack IPv4, you dipshits.

Amen

How do you know?

I’d never get past this. If a website forced this on me I’d probably stop using it, otherwise I’d just override it with CSS.

You’d probably need to write a script that parses the RSS then strips out anything without enough comments. You’d then need to either serve the new stripped RSS via HTTP unless you need just the RSS file itself. It would be pretty easy to do if you know any programming language.

Personally I’d use Ruby or Crystal but that’s only because I’m well-versed in both already.

Yeah I don’t really understand how any of this isn’t fiction 😂

Or they hate updates for some fake reason like “they want to control me”

Yeah, I live in lawsuit happy USA and pirating through i2p has never landed me letters in the mail. They don’t even know what it is you’re looking at let alone where it truly came from.

Again, I really recommend reading about the subject instead of trusting some idiot (me) on the internet.

It’s next to impossible to do this. I think if you read up on the topic you’ll have a better understanding; I’d like to explain more but it’s difficult to do so without knowing your level of expertise, etc.

The TL;DR is that nodes on i2p have no clue which nodes line up with which IP addresses. It’s true that from outside the overly you can see it’s i2p traffic, but you’d need to defeat so many layers of encryption that it’s close to impossible.

Well at least you’re using i2p, I kind of wish more people would. I just don’t like generally using unencrypted communication methods, so discussing even a simple crime like piracy is no bueno for me.

I’m so paranoid I would never talk about that over SMS. 😂

So I’m no expert on the bot but it seems like the hard right crowd are the ones crying about it being misinformation.

You’re on a federated, P2P (as far as instances go) platform not expecting to find misinformation from a bot; meanwhile you got all sorts of “user” accounts posting fake propaganda every other post and real humans with equally problematic opinions but for some reason the bot that might be inaccurate (maybe because it’s a BOT) seems to be the breaking point.

I’ve said my piece, I’m not really so interested in this topic to keep drilling down endlessly. The whole thing is fucking stupid.

So you’re smart enough to realize it’s “blatantly biased” but others aren’t so we need to get rid of it?

It’s kind of like Lemmy users don’t understand that this is a decentralized platform where you can connect to it and do whatever you want. The whole point is for it to not be regulated by any one entity.

The way you can “take it down” is by building a better instance (or sponsoring someone else to), maintain/manage it, etc. It’s strange to me that you expect your instance operator and/or the platform at large to implement blocking a specific bot just for you, especially when your account is basically on the default “how to use Lemmy” instance.

Yeah the “whole thread” goes off about iOS 18, so my bad for assuming people were using iOS 18. 😒

Though you’re right, the entire thread is pointless. I’m considering blocking this community because it feels like everyone’s got an attitude problem.
