Cybersec researcher here. The content of your chat is encrypted end to end. Their servers can't read what you write. This is because they use the same protocol as signal, x3dh and double ratchet. However, they can and will collect everything else. Contact info, for example, phone, etc

We got to be mature. Microsoft (and many other corporations) are a problem due to their unfair practices. But this is not a moral war against them, when we are not the problem. If we have vscodium, which is opensource and it has telemetry removed, which is the problem?

I would be happy if they didn't made the internet a worse place, if they weren't greedy billionaire assholes, if they didn't have a monopoly, but vscode does not affect my sleep.

What a race ! That was intense.

I don't know if it is possible, but I suspect there is an automated way to do it. Imagine you are using a client like thunder or liftoff. The "Create community" button is linked to an access point to the Lemmy API. If you know how to do it, you can DoS the instance. At the very least, you annoy the rest of the users.

I agree with you. Track is a track. With curves, limits and that stuff. We all know they are faster if they don't brake but... like in any other GP?

It definitely sounds like a DoS / troll point, so it is good we realized this soon. Thank you for the proposal

The new one looks like a serious downgrade, imo

I prefer flatpaks over snap, of course. I like using native packages, but I can definitely see the advantage in terms of dependencies, isolation and immutable systems, and they will probably be the future.

Liftoff, for the moment. But I think that there is still room for a lot of improvement. It is completely normal, this is still growing ^^
