I’d be happy if we’d just accepted “referer” as the correct spelling for everything, but instead we have the “Referrer-Policy” header, so now I need to check the correct spelling for anything involving referring…

I do sort of like the idea that because we want to keep backwards compatibility on software we just change the language instead since that’s easier.

Last time I checked companies don’t share backdoors they’ve added in release notes.

What better headline would you propose in this case?

I don’t think that rule is valid here, the question isn’t there because the answer is definitively “no” and they just want clickbait, it’s there because the actual article is about the question.

(Side note: I’m aware most people here will strongly argue that the answer is no, and I agree, but that is not my point.)

Of the 1,723 adults surveyed across the UK, 73% said technology companies should, by law, have to scan private messaging for child sexual abuse and disrupt it in end-to-end encrypted environments.

Found this interesting. I found the survey results here: https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/68pn2b6b57/NSPCC_OnlineSafetyBill_230427_W.pdf

The exact question I believe is being referred to was:

And do you think technology companies should or should not be required by law to use accredited technology to identify child sexual abuse in end-to-end encrypted messaging apps?

This seems like a really bad question, since it implies a coexistence of end to end encryption and big tech companies being able to read people’s messages, which doesn’t really make sense (or at least requires more clarification on what that would mean). The question as it is is basically “do you think child sexual abuse is bad”.

I wish I could have extensions default to off and be able to turn them on selectively on sites. For things like darkreader I don’t want to use it 90% of the time so it shouldn’t need to have at access to site data.

By the way, I don’t like the title of this article, how is it done “remotely”, it’s just a list in about:config, no? Sounds clickbaity.

Now you switched when you shouldn’t have idiiot

Oops yeah I did

Haha, got a “network error” on my first attempt so clicked send again, I guess it did go through the first time after all :D

Yeah, there currently seem to be a bunch of rough edges with Lemmy. Another is that iirc editing a comment increases the comment count shown on a post.

Nothing that can’t be fixed though, and it’s encouraging how good Lemmy feels already compared to reddit (for me at least).
