Yeah the local thing is something I'd like to see working properly because I mostly used Reddit and now Lemmy for software/tech discourse since Reddit replaced IRC for me like 15yrs ago haha. I expected to only see stuff specifically relating to that via my local programming.dev instance but I'm getting more of a catch-all in there currently. Maybe I need to clear the app's cache or something.

I'll try the scaled sort, it seems to be the popular opinion here. Thank you!

Edit: I'm an idiot. I was confusing the users posting to these local (to me) communities with their home instance tags aka [email protected] or [email protected] as the instances I was seeing. So if I saw a post by [email protected] then I was incorrectly interpreting that as a post on lemmy.world. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Thank you for this! I've used Boost for Reddit for years so you'd think I would have thought about this already haha. I really appreciate the thorough walkthrough! Hopefully it helps more people than just me!

I have no idea why I didn't think to adjust the sort and just relied on the category itself. Ugh. Thanks for pointing that out haha.

Any idea about the local category showing communities from non-local instances? Do you experience the same thing?

There are a lot of areas you can learn. Do you have a particular area you have more interest in? Web app security, network security, systems, etc

That's why it's Ticket Master and not Ticket Friend. But you'd think their PR would do anything it could to make it look like they care. Especially with all the talk about splitting them up.

Ultimately privacy is part of security so, if anything, everything you mentioned is just more reinforcements that this is a major security concern.

As someone that has been obsessed with tech since being a kid in the 90s I think the tech side of this is super cool and very exciting stuff. As a user, though, I only like this if I'm the one implementing and using it. I do not trust a mega corporation (or really any company) to "leave it locally on my computer and totally not use that data for other purposes". Right now it's supposed to be (as far as I last heard) only on your machine but we've seen EULAs and TOS' etc change many times over the years but especially over more recent years as data continues to be king and data like this is a literal bottomless diamond mine.

I know this isn't your point but it's just worries I have in addition to your points. And let's not even start about what this means for law enforcement abuse. No thanks, I'll wait for a FOSS equivalent that at least gives me and the community the opportunity to evaluate how it works.

I had this in Paris a couple years ago thinking "ok it sounds good but strange that it's so popular". After the first one it's all I wanted to eat the rest of the trip haha.

Rad. Thank you. Working on my switch to Firefox today. Between this noscript stuff and learning about styling Firefox with CSS I'm absolutely sold on the switch and no longer dread the process of ditching Chrome (mostly due to familiarity than anything else).

Thanks for the info!

How did I never know about this? This might make me switch to Firefox sooner than planned. Thanks for sharing!

Would noscript allow you to block things like when a site packs your history with their website making it impossible to back out to the page you came from? How does it work considering so many sites now are built with JavaScript libraries like React?

Ah interesting. Thank you, you're giving me something to read about that I never considered for crates. I guess I just assumed because of the scrutiny Rust was built with and continues to go through that it would also apply to verifying crates. I have definitely heard about it with NPM so it should have been obvious that it might not be any different for crates. Thanks again!

What is insecure about it?
