They care about privacy and security, not marketing. They probably hate that they have to do marketing in the first place. It’s honestly relatable.

what’s a left wing mistake that they might get called out for?
Can’t tell if your talking about the (human) Proton marketer responding on reddit, or the (AI) Claude and Opus 🙃

3·28 days agoWhat kind of abuse are you talking about? I doubt you’re talking about a 51% attack, which is incredibly hard. I’m guessing you are talking about social engineering, like where some scammer gets a poor soul to leak their bitcoin wallet or something like that.
In these cases, yes a centralized payment system can be useful, because the authority in charge can just reverse transactions that are deemed fraudulent or the result of a scam. But that same authority can do things like ban all payments to Steam for porn games (like the recent Visa Mastercard drama). That same authority can say “GrapheneOS and Pinephone users aren’t allowed to make NFC payments”.
In cases like these it would be nice for there to be an alternative to centralized systems, at least for those technologically literate enough to use these alternative systems.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What are your self–hosted alternatives for inter device communication?English
1·1 month agoDepending on the number of devices you have, your threat model, it can be helpful to set up a security hierarchy. So you only need to worry about securing the devices at the top of the hierarchy, and can play loose and careless with the devices lower down. That way it’s less likely to lose everything due to one mistake

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What are your self–hosted alternatives for inter device communication?English
1·1 month agoEven if you have a password for your ssh key, malware on your system can just wait until you enter the password.
My point is that SSH access is very powerful, and effectively means that the security of the SSH server is reduced to the security of the SSH client. If your SSH client is pwned, so is your server. If you have 10 devices each with ssh access to each other, then if any one device is pwned, all devices are pwned as well.
This is not the case for systems designed for file sharing only. For example with syncthing, if one device gets pwned, all it can do is send files to the other devices.

1·1 month agoMost people probably don’t care but it can be a security risk, allowing malware to move “laterally” between all your devices. For my main devices I don’t give them SSH access to each other, but I do give them SSH access to my secondary devices (like a Pi-Hole)
I think you should at least donate if you can. It’s not about whether you are forced to use it, but whether you appreciated the service (which you probably did if you used it over all the other services available). If the service goes away due to lack of funding, you’re still forced to use email, but you’ll just be forced to use a worse email service.

1·1 month agoNobody expects things to never break, but stability is a spectrum and clearly hyprland is less stable than the average. That’s the main conclusion I got from the post at least. And less stability means more time needed to fix. Nothing you can do about that aside from switching to a different DE
