Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    A lot of Siri requests are processed locally, to be fair. And iCloud has encryption now.

    e2ee is almost meaningless on a closed source app or system... whats stopping them from sending a copy of your files unencrypted?

    Well, it would most likely show up in the network traffic if they were doing that for starters. And no one doing security analysis on iOS has ever mentioned that AFAIK. And since Apple bases about 90% of their marketing on protecting your privacy, that would be very bad for them as a company.

    I mean, what’s stopping someone poisoning a library on open source? That’s actually provably happened.

    Which is not to ding open source, which I quite like too. Just saying you are running certain risks no matter what you choose and in a phone OS, if you just want it to work and not think about it, I personally feel like Apple is a decent risk still.

    Using the term "normies" paints you as having a superiority complex, which isn't the best look.

    [–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Being a normie isn’t the best look either.

    Misanthropy in current times is an indicator of a functioning brain.

    Anyone that says it's all great is delusional or trying to exploit a market inefficiency.

    There's quite a leap from "absolutely everything is completely fine" to "I hate all humans". Both are idiotic sentiments.

    [–] alyth@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Really? I just interpreted the use of normie here as "layperson" or "average user" and thought it was completely harmless.

    [–] tory@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Have someone refer to you as a normie and lmk if it feels neutral or derogatory.

    [–] alyth@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

    I can't imagine normies getting worked up over what some internet nerd calls them

    [–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

    You’re not wrong. That said sometimes it can be self-deprecating.

    In any case, one substitute is “non-nerds”, but I’m sure someone can think of a term that fits even better in the meme.
