I thought this was spam but that’s just the video description copypasted into the post. You might not want to do that in the future.

Yeah I feel like sports fans probably do better than average on this quiz. Nationalities are quite prominently considered there.

Yeah I sat here trying to name three of:

• Chinese people (Xi Jinping, Jack Ma, uhhh…)
• French people (Marie Le Pen, Nicolas Sarkozy, uhhhhh damn my brain forgot the name of the current president even though I literally read about him earlier today)
• Swedish people (the King and no I can’t remember what number of Carl he is, a Swedish friend, oh fuck I can’t remember the surname of my other Swedish friend)
• Estonian people (Kaja Kallas, holy shit where do I go now, oh yeah the Disco Elysium guys: Argo Tuulik… fuck who was the main guy? Who was the money guy?)
• Russian people (Vladimir Putin, Prigozhin-- wait he’s dead, ok what about the geopolitics guy on Twitter nuh uh can’t remember his name)
• Americans who aren’t or weren’t the president or the vice president (drew a blank until I thought of the RedLetterMedia guys, then realized I forgot Mike’s last name, then cheated by remembering Mike Morhaime’s last name instead)

And I’m not even on the spot in a studio. The human brain just doesn’t work that way.

edit: and for context I’m Finnish, so I picked neighbouring countries that I should (and do) know people from

You also have to provide access to your computer so the attacker can produce labeled training data for the neural network that performs the pattern matching for the actual fingerprinting.

Because that’s what they did in the paper: they got the data and performed the attack on the same machine. There’s no evidence presented in the paper that this identification could be generalised to arbitrary machines and configurations without prior access.

So yes, this is a complete nothingburger.

Found the physicist.

Yeah I know there’s ways to get voice calls and stuff, but the issue is that it’s not standardized in any way. As you said, you and everyone involved needs just the right client with just the right home server.

Matrix on the other hand finally managed to more or less solve this with Element Call. That’s not to say Matrix doesn’t have its own issues, it’s still not a complete Discord replacement either, but it is closer than XMPP and more likely to get there eventually.

Nothing as such, it just doesn’t really do what Discord does beyond the basic chat experience. Stuff like voice calls, screensharing etc. aren’t really there.

It also kinda lacks userbase, seeing that a lot of the open source federation enthusiast crowd has moved to Matrix.

Why XMPP instead of… pretty much anything else? Mostly asking because if you’re considering it as an alternative to Discord, I’m not sure you know what you’re getting into.

Humans generally have trouble thriving on diets that our closest primate relatives have no trouble with.

Fire turned us—a species capable of digesting raw meat and starchy tubers—into wusses who can only eat processed foods.

It’s 15.6mph here and I just don’t see the point using one if I can ride faster on most terrain under my own steam.

Hills.

Do you mean Vaultwarden? AFAICS they do not “settle” on it, but they do argue that it is much lighter in almost every respect. And since it is Bitwarden compatible the comparison is valid.

I don’t know which one I mean, because OP never says which SaaS password manager they switch to, they simply say they switch to a proprietary SaaS password manager:

For group A I’m going with a SaaS password manager that offers proper vault sharing, integrates with the tools clients actually use (SSO, browser extensions on corporate machines, audit logs), and takes the hosting burden off my plate. The platform is proprietary, which I would normally not be thrilled about, but given that the scope of this group is client work only, I’m accepting the trade-off.

My review of your post: you need to stop using so much emphasis on everything. Not every instance of the word Bitwarden needs to be italicized. Also five different ways of storing passwords sounds insane, and harping on for a dozen paragraphs about Bitwarden’s security incidents only to settle on another SaaS password manager sure is a choice.

Oh, I thought you said “this was well known as rubber-duck debugging”, with only one as.

2 minutes of scrolling articles and quick comments is more refreshing than a 15 minute break relaxing.

I am not at all convinced, and in fact this might be the first time I’ve heard anyone say low attention span piecemeal content does anything but rot your brain.

I thought this was as well known as “rubber duck debugging”?

That’s… a completely different thing? Rubberducking is when you explain your problem out in words, which engages the speech production part of your brain which often helps you solve the problem by making you crystallize your thoughts.

This is vibecoded trash and asking $70 for it is honestly offensive.

The proof is that they even vibecoded their Flathub submission PR: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/8077

There’s a lot of blatant LLM bots on Reddit these days so I think it’s a good thing they’re doing this. It’s also only a matter of time before those same bots start landing on Lemmy, even more so than they already have.

That 5 days ago link is just a weekly discussion thread that was made 5 days ago. The gun image was posted in the thread after the shooting.

Taking it up another notch, doing them both simultaneously was the clear winner. If I listen to a reading assignment while following along visually reading the text, it’s like a one-and-done and ready to take the test at the end of the semester with no further studying.

I believe there’s some research that confirms your anecdote in that kids with reading comprehension difficulties had a much easier time reading when they were both reading and listening to the text at the same time. Entirely possible it’s applicable to the general population too (or maybe you just have undiagnosed dyslexia or something).

audiobooks and reading books both activate the same language related areas of the brain

This doesn’t mean they’re the same thing. This is an area of ongoing research (because audiobooks have only recently become very popular) so there are surprisingly few studies on the topic, but the general consensus is that they’re not the same thing. For example, while reading you go at your own pace and can easily re-read or skim words or sentences, but you can’t do this when listening to audiobooks.

I’d link you to a nice essay I read(!) on this last year in a Finnish newspaper, but it’s in Finnish so most users here probably won’t get much out of it… Actually what the hell, I’ll link it anyway: https://www.hs.fi/kulttuuri/art-2000011260022.html
