You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Yeah it's almost impossible to read

I bet most male cinematographers take some of the best dick pics, because of their knowledge of lighting, angles, depth perception, and whatnot. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Yes, cinematographers have the biggest dicks

Is using MicroSD cards a good way to store data so that you can destroy quickly incase an adversary is about to seize control of it? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah not the best idea, because if they see you throw it they will be searching for it

The best would be to encrypt it

Sheesh, at least buy them a drink or something first, you don't have to jump straight to brass tax

Are there any USB cables that last a reasonable length of time? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

I sort by top month, I'm sorry if that offends you.

I'm also just saying if you are gentle with your cables and look after them they should last?

I've never had a cable break on me, I still have micro b charging cables from old Samsung's that still work and aren't damaged.

Maybe try looking after your stuff?

Why does it have wheels

Do you know anyone in real life that uses Lemmy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

This is such a good response!! Love it

Google requires developer accounts to be verified (good) so now scammers are trying to hijack legitimate accounts (not so good) in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

This is the way

YSK that Bitwarden will require you to enter verification codes sent to your email before letting you log in, starting February 2025 (Edit: This is for those who aren't currently using 2FA) in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world
[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago
  1. Use a 2FA app that allows you to export encrypted backup (I use Aegis)
  2. Make an encrypted backup of your 2FA keys and store that using the 321 rule.
  3. The 321 rule is 3 copies, 2 different types of media, and 1 copy offsite.

If your 2FA backup is encrypted, you can even store it in Google Drive or wherever, ask a family member to keep a copy, it doesn't matter if the password is strong.

If you're extra scared of losing your keys then you can use something like Authy as a last resort, they make it super easy.

I work in cyber forensics and incident response, 2FA and strong passwords can prevent 99% of the shit I see.

What is in Area 51? (sh.itjust.works)
 

What are the most likely theories for what is inside Area 51. No crazy conspiracy theories, actual grounded theories that are probable or likely.

I love Language Models! (ChatGPT & Gemini) (sh.itjust.works)
 

Not an advertisement I swear, but I honestly love language models, I specifically use Chat GPT and Gemini ALL the time.

I'm someone who loves research and learning. I always have questions on all sorts of things. Before GPT I would be googling things for hours each day, visiting forums, watching YouTube videos, etc.

Now with GPT I can ask so many questions on things I am curious about, and even ask follow up questions or ask for more in depth explanations.

I think I am also a bit ADHD and so my brain is always jumping around different topics which makes me curious on specific things. My latest is insects, specifically wasps.

I absolutely hate bugs, and wasps are the worst. But I am now learning more and more how important a lot of bugs actually are to the ecosystem. It's really a great way to learn and engage with topics when you can ask follow up questions or ask for more details on specific aspects.

TLDR: GPT has replaced 90% of my research that Google used to be.

Important Note: Please be aware language models can be innacurate and prone to mistakes, so always verify the data from other sources if you need accurate information and not just general knowledge.

Question: 3rd Party App Request (sh.itjust.works)
 

As per title, I'd like to know if there are any third party apps worth it still?

I'd ideally like a web app that scrapes the shit out of Reddit causing more harm than good. Anything like that available? (Even if it's a website that scrapes I'll be happy)

Feature Request: Mark posts as read on scroll (sh.itjust.works)
 

Apollo had this feature where you scroll past a post and it automatically marks the post as read. This is huge because it allows you to easily doom scroll without seeing the same content twice :,)

Please allow links to open in default browser (sh.itjust.works)
 

As per title, I would love a toggle option to allow in app links to open in my default browser automatically.

So I'm curious with the whole Ledger seed backup controversy, are Ledger devices actually safe? Should I continue to use my Ledger? I don't have much so I'm not too concerned, but I'd like to still sleep peacefully at night regardless.

My App Icon submission (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't have any software on my phone to round corners so please excuse the square.

The fediverse is a vast and beautiful place, just like our universe. I think our app icon should go deeper and represent more than just a simple spaceship or a mouse.

What action are we taking to protect against spam? (sh.itjust.works)
 

As the title says, lemm.ee is defederating instances that are allowing thousands of spam bots to be created on them. Will we be taking similar action? What is the game plan here?

What will happen to Brave browser after the manifest change? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've read some things online about it all but I'm not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won't be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?

Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave

Looking for MotorSports recordings (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello world, I'm looking for motorsport reruns or recordings, specifically F1 and MotoGP. I'd like to watch the entire race but not live, maybe 2 or 3 days after.

Are there any resources like this?

Unhappy with Lemmy (sh.itjust.works)

I'm really not happy with Lemmy so far. Its a great community and a cool concept, but the amount of bugs I am experiencing is really starting to put me off.

The site constantly updates / glitches, when I try click on something it moves just before I click so I end up clicking on something else. If I open a post, as soon as I go back the entire home feed is different and my sorting preferences have been reset.

As someone coming from the refinement from Apollo this really is offputting and makes me want to use Lemmy even less.

The people here are great, the federation is cool and I like how decentralized it is, but I think I'm going to log off now and I don't expect to be back anytime soon.

Ps. A functioning app I can download directly from the app store would be great. I'm not interested in progressive web apps or testflight betas, I want something that just works and is well refined.

Edit: I understand its early days, I'm not faulting devs for not being able to keep up, all I am doing here is expressing my opinion. I'm also sad about losing Apollo so that definitely adds to my disappointment quite a bit if I'm being honest.
