Android 4.4 KitKat is truly dead, loses Play Services support by henfredemars in c/android@lemdro.id

One wonders if dropping Play Services support is enough to motivate a user who is already sufficiently determined to use a phone this outdated.

My dad: Unions are what's wrong with this country. I do everything I can to undermine them in the workplace.

Also my dad: They're abusing the workers! I can't even get a day off when I'm deathly ill without getting fired. Why won't anybody stand up for us?!

Don't even get me started on healthcare. He's a diabetic. You'd think it'd be a priority for him.

Wow! It was hardly worth it to begin with.

If an instance is just being slow I'll hop on to one of my other accounts, let alone down. My client makes that easy to do.

User-driven load balancing!

Now for something a little more silly by Viva Reverie. Post 9/? of my favorite MLP links.

Twitter's valuation has been slashed by 47% at Ark Invest since Elon Musk took over by henfredemars in c/technology@lemmy.world

Only 47%? You'd be a fool to invest.

Who knew that removing functionality and limiting access to your product was the path to social media success.

I don't think shortage means what they think it means. Just because you can't find people at the price and working conditions you're willing to offer doesn't mean there's a shortage. It might just mean that you're cheap.

finally there is a perfect monitor for Java programmers by henfredemars in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

I have a monitor that's almost like this and it's surprisingly nice. It feels like a two-monitor setup. Two actual monitors would probably have been cheaper, but I got mine from work, so it wasn't a factor.

The real advantage of having two actual monitors is being able to flip one vertically for reading code.

EDIT: a word

Recent artwork from Derpibooru.org that I liked: Flutgirshy and Nintendo DS. I never actually owned one of these, but I was often able to borrow one.

Suddenly one of my favorite MLP links 8/?.

Flash Game: Story of the Blanks (archive.org)

Hello again! Time for the next post of my favorite MLP links 7/?. This link is to a flash game stored at Archive.org; finally not posting a video! This was a landmark flash game telling a story that's best experienced rather than told. The whole game is very short but definitely worth it.

Content Trigger Warnings: Jump scares, horror, murder/crime investigation, loud noises.

It's a short game with non-graphic (IMHO, fantasy violence at best) horror content where the main character Apple Bloom makes a harrowing discovery. Note that the content in the game changes by the time of day and creepier content is supposed to be available after 3am, but I have never tested this.

The game runs (barely) in the Ruffle in-browser flash emulator. I had to reload the page a few times to get it to actually run without crashing.

When and where do the instance content rules apply? (lemdro.id)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by henfredemars@lemdro.id to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I'm confused about where my content is stored and therefore when to apply the rules of my instance. Let's say for example that an instance says that NSFW is strictly forbidden. Which of the following is permitted then?

  • Can I subscribe to NSFW communities? Doesn't this make their server pull the content?
  • Can I post NSFW content on communities hosted elsewhere? Does this cause their server to host the NSFW content? It looks like images I upload are stored on the local instance.
  • Is a private message stored on the instance and subject to the rules? Do we have to follow the current instance, the remote instance, or both during the conversation?

I've been assuming that it only applies to local community content, but I'm not so sure if that's correct because I depend on the instance to provide all the content (I think).

Firefox now has speed parity with Chrome on the Speedometer benchmark by henfredemars in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[-] henfredemars@lemdro.id 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Great, now implement modern exploit mitigations and sandboxing like Chrome uses. Firefox is objectively less resistant to exploitation. Some Firefox security has improved since the article was written, such as some sandboxing on Windows, but it's definitely not as mature.

I'm not writing that Firefox is insecure. Security is very important to Firefox! However, Chrome has had more work done in the realm of browser hardening.

They do, but Chrome is actively trying to remove support for most advanced ad-blocking capabilities. Further, Google has no financial incentive to make their browser hospitable to ad blockers as Google makes most of their money from advertising.

Google has pushed some half-baked ideas for how the web could work without having to block ads. Ad blocks aren't best buddies with Google.

I don't think any listing of great MLP links would be complete without something from TJ Pones and his unique, minimal art style and silly content.

Viewers: Please be aware that not all content on the creator's channel is SFW.

This is post 6/? of my favorite MLP-relevant links, posted once daily or less frequently. It seems that most of them are videos.

And we're back! Last night was a doozy for sure with the whole exploit thing going on at lemmy.world. In fact, I'm here @lemdro.id because I'd rather stay off the big instances, and my previous infosec.pub is seeing some connectivity problems. Rather than wait, I decided to embrace the plurality of the fediverse and here I am!

If you really care to check who I am (you don't) you can see my main account linked from my profile, and on that page it lists this as one of my accounts as well as the previous account, proving that they're all connected.

Post 5/?, a fun, super short clip from Cosmia's Stash, a reposter of Bilibili "Chinese YouTube" popular MLP clips. Hope you enjoy!
