  • Oh, I understand. I just don't expect a meme to solve the accessibility issues. People do use the CLI, they find it convenient, and there is no reason why they can't make a meme with terminal commands. What I don't understand is why you act like Linux or OP owe you something. We already have macOS, which offers a fantastic user experience, and we have Windows, which provides some middle ground. Let Linux be Linux. You can also create 'memes with more accessibility' if that's what you think the issue is.

  • I ignore that part because it doesn't pose a problem for the user. If you're on a distro X, you know what command to type to install a package using its package manager. For the same reason, OP didn't care to explain how to power on your computer. Or do you expect a meme to be a comprehensive guide on how to install sshfs on all major distros? Really? Maybe the real problem is that some people don't understand what a meme is.

  • How is sshfs source target distro-specific? That would work anywhere. What would confuse the user is GUI, because we have about 5 major DEs and 10 major file managers that usually don't even work with sshfs without extra plugins.

  • It isn't up to Valve alone to push forward the industry and release top-tier VR games every other year. They took a risk and created one of the best games I've played, and I'm not alone in that opinion. Valve are trying expand the gaming experience, they are trying to be innovative, and people blame them for "not giving a crap". Say what you want, but I thank Valve for what they are doing.

  • Thanks for your reply. The idea of zero-knowledge authentication is that the password never touches the server. Instead, the user can prove that they know the password when logging in by solving a challenge. This enables the user to log in from any new device without the need to transfer keys between them. I'll take a closer look at your suggestions though. Thanks again!

  • Thanks, I will take a look! Implementing the encryption algorithm itself wasn't my goal, I was hoping to find and reuse an existing library. You know, like we don't implement our own algorithms to hash passwords or generate keys.

  • For some context, cryptography isn’t even usually implemented “completely correctly” by experts. That’s part of why we have constant software security patches.

    Yeah, I totally agree, and I don't expect to implement it properly or go public with this. I just got this idea for the final project. When it comes to password hashing, we have libraries in all popular languages that handle this, and we have open-source tools to generate keys. So, I was hoping to find something ready to use for my project. Unfortunately, it seems this area isn't very popular.

  • The US had always been a questionable democracy with the hyperfixation on the president and just two parties setting the agenda, but I'd argue that it's still a democracy, though it is a rapidly deteriorating one.

    How, exactly? Decentralization aside, lemmy is a reddit clone, but on a smaller scale. The same human psychology that drives reddit also drives lemmy. I think your assessment is more applicable to mastodon because there you really have to figure out how to fill your feed with content.
