Yet another reminder to sandbox your apps people, otherwise every app/mod u install will always be a risk and an AV should never be your main defense, https://sandboxie-plus.com/ on windows is incredibly simply to use, and on linux just install the prismlauncher flatpak and double-check its permissions via the flatseal app.
Sandboxie automatically opens any processes/dependencies the sandboxed app opens, under the same sandbox, so it should be fine. The entire game will be sandboxed. The game still runs smoothly on my machine regardless of the sandbox as well.
I know most of the Bethesda RPGs have massive mod support, and there's games like Minecraft that have more mods than anyone can imagine. I would consider those games pretty playable in their vanilla states. Would you say there are any games that were "saved" by modding? Or that are still kept alive by thriving modding...
Never rely on any cloud service! A good cloud based password manager is end to end encrypted meaning the password manager provider cannot access your passwords and they are secured from the provider and any compromise of the provider. But you do not only need confidentiality but also reliability. The cloud is just someone else's...
Honestly, i applaud age for being very simple to use and less likely to screw up as a result, but i wouldn't rely on it for files as sensitive as a password database, its relatively new and hasn't been audited.
You can’t prove that their server is running the exact same code
Which is the whole point between e2ee, assuming the server ended up being malicious, as long as the client code is doing its job properly, its fine. All the apps are open source.
Bitwarden('s server component) is not designed for single users.
vaultwarden's good if you're selfhosting, incredibly lightweight and compatible with bitwarden clients
Hi, reddit refugee here. I figured out that lemmy does not have a sideloading community similar to https://libreddit.kavin.rocks/r/sideloaded so i made one Feel free to join at https://lemmy.ml/c/sideloaded
Amazon's Ring cameras were allegedly used by employees and third-party contractors to spy on customers. The FTC has filed a complaint against Amazon, which may result in a $5.8 million settlement. Employees had unrestricted access to customer videos and could download, save, and share them. Some employees abused this access,...
thats very messed up, i would personally never trust one of these cloud security cameras myself, i'd either selfhost or get a local one, otherwise it'd always be a risk/blind trust.
I was just getting interested in Neeva as a paid search engine with some cool AI tools where you're not an advertising target because you pay. This explains the sudden refund from Neeva - they apparently got bought out and are no longer being a search engine. I don't really know what to make of it all....
I actually found the results better on Brave Search than on Neeva
same, i've actually found brave's results to be of very high quality, especially ever since they brought the ai tools, actually works well rather than being a gimmick. Website descriptions are also utilising it, and should be specific to the search term (which is indicated by bold text)
The only issue i have with it though, is that they removed the images section and now redirect to bing/google, and not even something like duckduckgo/startpage at least. Hopefully they add it back soon
Honestly, at this point im hoping reddit fucks up even more so that more people switch to lemmy, seems most are switching now more than ever, heck its the reason why i heard about it in the first place

I just dualboot linux and windows solely for gaming, sure i could get most my game library working on linux but its just easier having all my games in one place, and i dont really have to mess with unbreaking stuff
For a while now I've been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I've also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn't keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.
I disagree, the whole usecase for decentraleyes (although i'd recommend localcdn instead as it supports a lot more frameworks), if for users not using a vpn, in which case you'd be fingerprintable via your ip address anyways, what localcdn achieves is having privacy from third parties, as opposed to the website itself.
If you're using localcdn with a vpn, i agree that'd be counter productive since what does it matter that third parties get your ip if that ip's shared with a massive group of people and isn't your real one, but otherwise its still a perfectly valid addon.
