Why do you expect they will be unlikely to infect larger instances?

Is there a reason to expect bots won’t overwhelm Lemmy as well?

I think it as undone, but there was a very serious plan to put breathalyzers in all cars. This cyberattack should give people some pause. https://www.jalopnik.com/the-in-car-breathalyzer-is-only-a-few-years-away-1850268311/

Please don’t argue theory definitions with someone who lived through the reality, its just straight insensitive

Yeah, when Karp says “there will be plenty of jobs” he doesn’t mention the wages those jobs will pay…

That kind of thing requires budget, though. The right/capital has that, volunteers don’t.

Adblock was purchased by Google years ago and now allows “non-intrusive” (is Google) ads by default. Use uBlock if you can.

I switched to LibreWolf, which is a Firefox fork that prioritizes anonymity and privacy. I like it, but there are definite quirks:

• it will tell every website your time zone is UTC+0, which breaks some stuff. Proton Calendar works if you tell it your actual timezone.

• no password saving and cookies delete every session, so you have to log in to every website every time you restart. This is intentional but I don’t understand the rationale. You can install a password manager though and self-host it if you want.

• because your device fingerprint is generic, a lot of websites incorrectly assume you are a not. I have to use FF for GrubHub, for instance, as they won’t play nice with LibreWolf due to restrictions on the HTML5 Canvas element, for instance.
