Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•Google Ads used to distribute Mac malware disguised as 'Loom' appEnglish
16·1 year agoWhat’s the deal with the Google ad that shows a legit URL but takes users to another? That seems like the biggest issue here and the article just rolls past it like that’s totally normal.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?English
2·2 years agoI was comparing frozen diced veggies a couple of years back (in Australia) and noticed that the store-brand version was approximately 1/3 broccoli stems by volume, which certainly explained the cost difference.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•What’s the best note-taking app currently out there?English
3·2 years agoYou’re putting yourself in a tough position by asking for both E2EE and the ability to use from a browser. You have to trust the web app each time you open the page, and hope that they haven’t altered the deal to simply grab your data after it’s been decrypted by your password. I have no idea how likely it is that Standard Notes would do that but I’d reconsider the browser requirement specifically if E2EE is non-negotiable for you - an offline open source client program would be a much stronger position.
For my money, I use local text files and SyncThing but it’s probably not spiffy enough for many people/purposes.

2·2 years agoI recall that if you elude the monster long enough by catching enough logs you eventually wrap around to the start of the course and can ski down it again, and you get an additional monster chasing you when you get to the bottom.













If you are feeling ambitious and want to go “serverless”, try out DecSync and a compatible android app for contact sync. This represents all your contacts as files on disk in a way that avoids conflicts, and you can use SyncThing to keep your devices in sync 100% peer to peer. Unfortunately on your desktop you’ll probably have to use something like radicale on localhost and the plugin to convert it into CardDAV for your regular email client to understand.
