I feel like I woke up in the stupidest timeline where climate change is about to kill us, we decide stupidly to 10x our power needs by shoving LLMs down everyone’s throats, and the only solution to stay private is to 10x our personal LLM usage by generating tons of noise about us just to stay private. So now we’re 100x ing everyone’s power usage and we’re going to die even sooner.
I think your idea is interesting – I was also thinking that same thing awhile back – but how tf did we get here.
A better example would be if Apple could make every instance of Safari look identital. It’s too large a percentage of traffic to block. Sure Tor is more serious about privacy than Apple, but Apple imo has the best shot at pulling it off. Google is too anti Privacy and all the smaller projects don’t have the market share. Maybe FireFox, but I don’t keep up as much with them tbh.

The command chest sheet in that article is wrong. gg is first line of the document, not H
I use neovim btw
The more you block, the more unique you become, and the more finger printable you are. Every divination from a standard browser is another data point they can use to uniquely identify you. It’s possible to fingerprint someone even with JavaScript disabled. Tor got it right imo by making every instance of Tor look as identical as possible. That’s what we need to do. Idk I’m no expert but that’s what I think.
Idk about older devices (unless it’s due to no longer supported os updates), but password recovery makes sense. Have you seen how tech literate your average person is? Definitely would create a lot of angry customers.
What if you turn on advanced data protection? Though even if that does achieve what you want it sucks that it’s opt in.
Weird how Apple and iMessage are not in the same category. How do distrust apple’s privacy claims but trust iMessage?
I really think the issue would be load on server bandwidth (depending who’s hosting the image). 2mb is not good for client performance, but in the grand scheme of things it’s not that much data. Video streaming consumes so much more. I would like to see smaller images so clients can load a feed of images faster. It’s also annoying because Lemmy doesn’t always tell you the size of the images. So the height of posts will shift in your feed as images are loaded.
lemmy shouldn’t require posters to compress their own images. Compression should happen automatically. It will save both the severs and end users bandwidth
Totally agree nuclear is a great tool but totally being used for the wrong purpose here. Use those power plants to solve our existing energy crisis before you crate an even bigger energy crisis.
