I just hope there will eventually be a solution that doesn’t require tired server owners to sift through registrations and posts all day.

I can see that the link you’ve given is the real website for ChatGPT, but when you’re referring someone to a page where someone can download an executable, you should show the link rather than saying “Click HERE to download”
I think the majority of people on Lemmy don’t want to be served an AI-generated feed about AI. Maybe try a more AI- or LLM-focused community?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•What is the safest repository to an install application from on Android? GitHub or Fdroid?English
8·2 days agoIf you want F-droid’s moderation, you can still ensure the code is original to the developers by verifiying signatures with something like AppVerifier.

Well, there’s really no way to have automatically recurring payments with cryptocurrencies like Monero, since any automatic payment service would need access to your private keys to be able to authorize transactions on your behalf.

Technology@lemmy.world•Satellite Snooping Reveals Sensitive Unencrypted DataEnglish
15·5 days agoWhat confuses me is what they mean by “corporate VPN data containing unencrypted login details.” Unless the VPN server connects to the backend servers with unencrypted traffic through these satellites (which definitely should not happen) then this should not be possible.

That is a very deceptive title. These are problems he noticed in Windows 11, not Linux.

2·6 days agoTo create a redirect:
- Go to https://kagi.com/settings/redirects
- Click “Add Rule”
- In the bottom box, use the following format to create your redirect:
^https://original.domain.tld/|https://new.domain.tld/For example, to replace www.youtube.com with inv.nadeko.net (an Invidious instance), you can use the rule
^https://www.youtube.com/|https://inv.nadeko.net/I’ve also created a copy of this rule for any youtu.be results, as well as X/Twitter and Reddit for their respective frontends. This will work for any pair of websites if you can simply replace the domain in the URL and have it pull up the correct content on the alternative website.

61·7 days agoIt comes down to the fact that Kagi’s first priority in search is providing the best results, so they’re not going to turn down access to another search api based on politics.

I think this goes well beyond “privacy tips,” though some of it is interesting to think about, for sure.
