I've recently found the indieweb, from their website:
The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”.
We are a community of independent and personal websites based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content.
I agree, the encryption should be deliberate choice. And we've said nothing yet about the impact on performance.
You used to almost be forced to make a recovery CD or USB when encrypting a drive, now people don't even know how 'important' the MS account actually is.
Bypassnro is the old method, no longer working since 24H2. I've tested this method on GitHub and it works for normal AND S-mode devices.
Ctrl + Shift + J before selecting secondary keyboard layout (sometimes you need to click on the outside borders of the form so the dev console pops up)
Type this (can use autocomplete): WinJS.Application.restart("ms-cxh://LOCALONLY")
All the time, then people get ran around in circles, are given a too technical explanation and give up more often than not.
The encryption is not inherently a bad thing, but forcing people into account creation is where the trouble starts. With piss-poor customer support as the cherry on top, this should never be allowed.
I've noticed that a more detailed writeup is warranted! So I'll be working on that.
CORS is enabled on lemmy, you have to send the 'Origin' header in order to get the Access-Control headers. Which allows cross-origin for simple requests. No added headers, cookies or other data. So all API calls are made in JS by your browser.
Good question, it's a design choice. Being attached to my name I had no interest in needing to moderate which comments should and shouldn't be showing up under my name. There is a direct link to the posts on lemmy where they can be interacted with.
A second concern is XSS, with my own content I have no worries.
The open web and API's are designed for this purpose, and don't think any instance would ever follow reddit and close up theirs.
I'm all for donating to your instance owner, altough I'd be surprised if any would mind their API being used this way. Giving credit where credit is due.
That requires the running and maintenance of a federated instance, which is not easy or cheap. Doing it like this allows anyone to make a BlogOnLemmy by serving but a single webpage, no extra server cost at all.
I sepperate the hosting of the content and the page itself. With a website you do need to still be serving a html page, because it has no backend the page can be served by GitHub for example.
In theory you don't have to touch the website anymore, so you use Lemmy as your markdown frontend.
A constraint like this ensures someone can host their BlogOnLemmy without paying for anything like hosting space or running the instance themselves.
New copypasta just dropped! Jokes aside, I felt this comment.
