What is Burggit's most common profession? in c/askburggit@burggit.moe

[–] SmolSlime@burggit.moe 2 points 1 year ago

I'm from CS too. I wonder if it's because Lemmy requires more effort to use (actively trying it out instead of using more mainstream social media, dealing with the quirks, etc.)

Well? in c/askburggit@burggit.moe

[–] SmolSlime@burggit.moe 2 points 1 year ago

LOL, tbf I've never eaten beef nor steaks before, so I just apply my preference of other meat instead.

Lol I'm quite surprised there are actually queer people here. I assumed since this is a, well, free speech Lemmy instance, this place would be filled with anti-LGBT people. So I minimized talking about it here.

Would be great if there's something like multireddit on Lemmy, but I guess subscribing each of them is the only way to go.

I was today years old when I found out Asian IPs cannot get into sad panda in c/general@burggit.moe

Back then they told to clear browser cookies and I did, but still couldn't get through. Didn't know it was actually IP block.

A cat that cooks for you or sings/plays music for you - which would you choose? in c/askburggit@burggit.moe

[–] SmolSlime@burggit.moe 2 points 1 year ago

Probably chef cat. Has more practical uses than singing.

Any of you ever used a kbin instance? in c/askburggit@burggit.moe

[–] SmolSlime@burggit.moe 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's more complicated than Lemmy, but much lighter on my phone. I just treat it like any other Lemmy instance. I only check the frontpage for some news and ignore everything else.

Nice. Also happy birthday!

lemmy.fmhy.ml lost their domain name in c/general@burggit.moe

[–] SmolSlime@burggit.moe 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Didn't know a country can take all of their regional domain by force. Wait, why is lemmy.ml still fine

YouTube watch history search is fucking retarded [rant] in c/general@burggit.moe

[–] SmolSlime@burggit.moe 1 points 1 year ago

Youtube's watch history search is weird. I need to type the exact title or it wouldn't show up, meanwhile the other search bar is much more flexible.

YouTube ruined the actual fucking search by polluting it with literally and intentionally irrelevant garbage after like 4 results

I use Piped for that. It could return all result without adding the barely-related videos. https://piped.video is the official instance. There are also other instances.

ILLUSION close up shop in c/general@burggit.moe

There's a JavaScript injection exploit going on. Apparently the exploit also works on comments, just by embedding an image and adding some JS code in it. I don't know if this could steal the entire cookies or just the website's, but just to be safe don't randomly click every link.

The post below is copy pasted from https://kbin.social/m/android@lemdro.id/t/168524/Lemmy-world-and-another-instance-have-been-compromised#entry-comment-661712

Some information I have posted to Lemmy.World:

I am not a super code-literate person so bare with me on this… But. Still please becareful. There appears to be a vulnerability.

Users are posting images like the following:

imgur.com/a/RS4iAeI

And inside hidden is JavaScript code that when executed can take cookie information and send it to a URL address.

Among other things. At this time if you see an image please click the icon circled before clicking the link. DO NOT CLICK THE IMAGE. If you see anything suspicious, please report it immediately. It is better a false report than a missed one.

I have seen multiple posts by these people during the attack. It is most certainly related to JS.

Everyone here tired of so many services requiring phone verification? (burggit.moe)

This is my old account that I just logged in today. Just joined a server and Discord asked for email verification. Okay, that's not hard, thankfully Discord doesn't restrict email to only big providers. But then suddenly DIscord asked to verify by phone number, because "something is out of ordinary". What's out of ordinary from that??? Joining a server > Discord asks to verify > I verify.

I was losing my mind seeing people suggesting moving to Discord when Rexxit happened. Like WTF, it's even worse than Reddit. Non-indexable content, worse privacy, needing account just to access the said content, etc.

I really hate how services nowadays require your phone number just to use their service. Unfortunately most people just don't care of privacy, thanks to "I have nothing to hide" mindset.
