  • If it’s your only layer of security, it’s not good. But when a website doesn’t tell you whether or not an email account exists when you try a username and password, it’s still obscurity (you’re not confirming one way or the other) but it’s still a useful level of security. IPs are generally not given out for a reason. Most people don’t even realize they don’t get hacked simply because they aren’t targeted. That you even route local traffic via the internet is interesting to begin with and makes me wonder if you truly are prepared for a targeted attack. Maybe you decided it’s not worth the effort but maybe you don’t know how. I don’t know. But nonetheless, you’re making yourself more of a target.






  • But the same result would occur in socialism. Even communism. I don’t know what you expect to happen in any societal economic structure that would suddenly give you the freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want. Jobs existed the same way all the way back then as they do now. And that was the birth of capitalism, not before it. Most didn’t own their land. It belonged to a king or emperor. Sure there are exceptions and caveats, but to say capitalism didn’t exist back then isn’t accurate. Capitalism isn’t bad. It’s how it’s implemented that makes it awful. I think we need to migrate to socialism via capitalism. But it requires winning of the minds of the populace and that won’t happen until folks have an accurate understanding of both capitalism and whatever system you want them to transition to. I don’t even know what system you’re supporting with your question. It sounds like you’re trying to describe some sort of star trek utopia that supposedly is advanced beyond economic systems (yet how many episodes revolved around trade deals between planets and races… but I digress).






  • Before the link was edited, when it was just a raw url with no markdown code.

    It’s always with markdown. Lemmy is the only web app that can access it without markdown. I explained it like four different ways now. If you don’t understand it by now, you never will.

    It worked for me and it’s why I provided a full link. Since it was created on Kbin, it was escaped by Lemmy as well. So lemmy will display the app just like Kbin would. But anyone who creates a link on lemmy, it will always look wrong in every other web app or third party app. It’s simply not possible for a third party app to display a link properly that was created by a lemmy user. Same goes for code boxes. They can only be displayed properly by Lemmy and no one else. It’s not possible for third party apps to display them properly.

    Lemmy is the only one that can display links and code boxes created by Lemmy users. Links and code boxes created by every other platform displays properly everywhere.

    You’re literally hand waving it away because it still works even though it’s impossible to parse by any other app. Just because it is only aesthetic doesn’t mean it’s a bug. The bug affects jerboa more than Kbin. I still helped those users instead of your pretentious ass by saying “oh well, not my problem.”

    When there’s a problem that only exists with lemmy, it’s lemmy.

    Do you need me to explain it yet another way? Do you need an ELI5?

    You’re the pretentious one speaking from some authority without having any clue what the fuck you’re talking about.

    I’m done. You’re blocked so I won’t be angered by any stupid replies from you.


  • The link works for me. I was helping other folks who may have an issue with bare links as pointed out by the other commenter.

    Either way, Lemmy is the reason non-lemmy readers can’t actually properly parse the information. The information is not what’s stored in the database. Only Lemmy can display it properly since it wraps it up in a bunch of markup that is then provided to third parties. As a developer, I don’t know what reasoning you still think you have to believe it’s not Lemmy. Everything you’ve said so far does nothing to backup that point.

    Edit: also, I’m done here. I’m not interested in convincing a non-developer their favorite platform isn’t perfect.
