I agree!

I will use uBlock Origin and whitelist websites I trust

Thanks for your tips !

lmaoo

I don’t think that’s possible, but if that can reassure you, if you follow guides carefully, you shouldn’t brick your device

If you do a small mistake, I think that a soft brick is the most common problem, and you can fix it

I already did some mistakes, and I never hard bricked my device, just follow the guides carefully!

Hope this can help!

IVPN is very good imo, I’m using it, and I love it

Even my friends don’t text me back so fast

Lmaooooo love that reply 🤣

I sometimes use Tails, but the fact that it wipes every files on shutdown is kinda annoying imo

I guess I will disable it too!

Good point!

I think that disabling JS is worth the price (imo), that doesn’t annoy me very much Also, I believe tracker blockers can sometime fail to block fingerprinting scripts cause they’re could come from unknown domain

I stole this shitpost from reddit (as always) and the username was already censored

Slop

Direct messages on Lemmy (and most Fediverse platforms) are not end-to-end encrypted, which means that it’s stored in plain.

For example, your instance admin could theoretically see your private messages. I don’t think they check it tho, but if that’s a concern for you, then you should not share any sensitive details in your DMs. Also, don’t worry: random people cannot see it

Matrix is way better for that: it’s a decentralized communication platform, end-to-end encrypted, so only you and your recipient can read the messages.

I think it’s kinda the “Fediverse of messaging”

Imo, this heavily depends on the usage of AI: if you use it for everything, even for things you could do yourself, then yes, obviously that’s just stupid.

However, if you use it as a tool to help you, but don’t use it to replace your brain, Internet or whatever, then I think this is perfectly fine!

I dunno if that counts or if it’s the weirdest cause I rarely have any issue, but one day, I wanted to deploy speedtest tracker via docker on my 1st NAS…

So I tried, but it didn’t work (I forgot the reason). So I try to check the logs, but it turns out my NAS was insanely slow.

When I rebooted it, it couldn’t stop beeping and telling me there was a hardware problem, so I tried everything I could do to fix it, but nothing worked, so I ended up reinstalling the whole OS

Keep in mind this was the cost to see I had a bad result at the speedtest lmao 😭

Btw, I also lost all my important files, yayyy!

Around 33%?

Thank you!
