What have you heard about Cromite which makes it more shady than Brave!?

Yeah I know, I think a project dying and continuing as a fork still counts though

Bromite used to be the only non-built-in browser recommended by GrapheneOS, and I’ve not seen anything bad posted since it became Cromite. Apparently Firefox on Android still doesn’t have site isolation so it’s still a toss-up between security and the ominous shadow of Google.

Some people want to recreate reddit, but if they’re posting good content then I’m not going to worry about a silly name

if my backup key can just be cloned that easily

Do you consider $10,000 of equipment plus breaking your safe and extracting your pin to be easy? Who did you get on the wrong side of!?

The attacker would need physical possession of the YubiKey, Security Key, or YubiHSM, knowledge of the accounts they want to target and specialized equipment to perform the necessary attack. Depending on the use case, the attacker may also require additional knowledge including username, PIN, account password, or authentication key.

The attacks require about $11,000 worth of equipment and a sophisticated understanding of electrical and cryptographic engineering. The difficulty of the attack means it would likely be carried out only by nation-states or other entities with comparable resources and then only in highly targeted scenarios. The likelihood of such an attack being used widely in the wild is extremely low.

Given this massive caveat I’d almost call that headline misleading

I guess that can happen now anyway as the bad actor can just create their own instance with as many fake accounts as they like. Ultimately it’s still on other instance admins to block the dodgy ones either way.

whilst doing nothing to protect them

Well it also takes away a tool that harassers can use for their harassing of individuals, right? This does highlight the often-requested issue of Lemmy needs better/more moderation tools though.

Single developer prioritised his life over supporting an increasingly complex project, I think

So what does all this data actually mean? I’ve looked at the GitHub page but it’s more like a technical manual than an explanation of what I’m actually looking at!

Summit is great, and the developer seems really responsive

Oh shit, he’s real! This is going straight to [email protected]

You can set a community to only allow moderators to post

Could use a Lemmy community I guess

The reddit webpage asks me download their app every time I have to open it, libreddit doesn’t. It’s also full of “sponsored posts” which aren’t from external advertisers so don’t seem to get blocked.

GDPR isn’t just an online thing, it applies everywhere so I don’t know how your bridg software is getting away with that!

That sounds pretty illegal under the GDPR though, hence why I usually feel fine paying by card if the website feels like they obey the law.

Just using a debit/credit card? I still choose not to do this when there’s a PayPal option though, just feels riskier!
