If the target has push notifications enabled (which it is by default), they don't even have to open the Signal conversation for their device to download the attachment. Once the push notification is sent to their device, it automatically downloads the image from Signal's CDN triggering the local datacenter to cache the response.
An attacker can run this deanonymization attack any time and grab a user's current location without a single interaction.
And we should keep it that way. As soon as you can derive value from your profile karma and/or it means something, it'll break any sense of earnest discussion some are trying to have in the first place.
Look at Reddit: any serious thread is peppered with might-be-funny one-liners in the hopes of catching some upvotes. This makes those threads harder to read through, although it does make for funny AI summary results.
It's not just off topic banter to increase karma though. It's also reposting old memes, jokes and stories that did well in the past to farm that sweet karma. Throw in some copied top-level comments too and some subreddits are basically perpetually living in déjà vu.
Inscryption is a game that wants you to break it, as it will progress the story. Try to do all the puzzles in the cabin, and be sure to collect all the cards that are new.
Eventually, it will become almost trivial in order to get you to progress.
Time to pressure Nintendo in giving up X as an outlet, too.
Last year they already discontinued being able to post to X from your Switch (as the new API cost was basically astronomical compared to before), so maybe they need another nudge in the right direction.
A feature like this would be very helpful. Thinking of onboarding new users, you'll want to be able to give them an experience that eases them into things.
A custom feed that allows new members to see a variety of the best that Lemmy has to offer would be a good start. Then, when they are comfortable with the platform and its dynamics, they can customise it further, or swap the newbie feed for their own custom filter (which practically would come down to community subscriptions, I suppose?)
Now instead of making this comment very long, I'll put in an video game anology to make it a bit more digestible:
What we need is a tutorial area that showcases all the different things that the Lemmy endgame has to offer. Creating memes, sharing news, the art of shitposting, being a lurker, actual discussions vs just scrolling to see the funnies: all these things are enjoyed by different types of people, and before they can reclass and enjoy the wild open world of Lemmy, it would be good for them to get comfortable with the controls and settings in a relative safe space.
Nah, just trying to provide context. It might change your mind, it might reinforce your beliefs, I don't have an agenda. Just extra content to make informed comments.
. You guys are why we keep this blog going and I appreciate every single one of you, despite the jagweeds who keep crying to me about how I’m glorifying animal abuse, because obvz they don’t know the whole story
Do you have a link or something to further dig into this?
I think we all knew this was coming though, considering Reddit is still popular to find specific answers that SEO riddled adware websites won't be able to give.
Unironically, I dislike the 196 stuff. It's kinda like shitposting, but at least with shitposting you have standards. Just posting anything for the sake of posting something makes me tune out such communities due to the noise.
Considering there's at least 4 different 196 communities, I understand I am very much in the minority and this is an unpopular opinion.
It's true that it's mirrored, but the difference is that Golden Hour is after the sun has risen, and before the sun has set. Before sunrise it's Blue, and after sunset it's also Blue. Here's a visualisation:
I figured OP just mentally attributed it to a difference between sunrise and sunset based on their experience so far, so I didn't mention it initially.
Nope, you're absolutely right. These time windows are called "Golden Hour" and "Blue Hour" and are one of the basic principles to keep in mind and use in photography.
I don't understand why, but you do you I guess
