From the article:

A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network.

Public wifi without a VPN is like sex without a condom. The connection may not be encrypted (very risky) and even if it is, you are still susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks: https://www.garlandtechnology.com/blog/how-to-monitor-encrypted-traffic-and-keep-your-network-secure

I guarantee there will be a flood of articles about this over the next few days because of what I quoted above.

It's also possible that one of his "friends" reported him or something like that.

In general I agree, but there's no privacy on airport Wi-Fi. And very little at an airport in general.

That's true. But I guess I'm not the only one haha!

Xitter, pronounced "shitter".

Why did they use such an obscene word for this?

"Ploopy"? I would say it's weird (for headphones) and maybe non-descriptive. How is it "obscene"?

Great game. One of my 100%'ers and I was actually sad when it was done.

I'd love to know what your prompt was

I have a lot of issues with Lemmy and more specifically how the fediverse will work with multiple copies of communities and the knee-jerk defederation. But, in terms of stability, content and quality, I feel like it has been getting better. I'm willing to give it some more time.

I imagine specific examples would help the devs. If you can point to a post and comments that disappear in Connect but show up fine in a browser, it would give them a place to debug.

Disagree. So it should be an option. The confirmation is the reason I stayed with Connect over other apps.

In every other app I end up accidentally backing out of the app.

 

I end up backing out of the app a lot, especially from the search. Having the back button from the search window not exit the app and go back home is a solution for that partícular issue, but a popup to confirm backing out of the app would help in multiple situations.

I think any feature change like this should be optional though.

(I'm coming from RIF and it had this feature.)

 

I know this behavior was requested, but the tap to collapse and long press to hide buttons are both really annoying to me.

  • If there's a link in the comment and you miss your tap, you end up collapsing the comment. Then it takes three (or 6, or 9) clicks to click a link. This is particularly common at small fonts. The old behaviour of collapsing when hitting the comment header was sufficient, and still too much IMO.

  • I usually use long press to highlight text and copy it. Maybe to bring up a menu. Having it hide a menu (the buttons) is just weird and disconcerting

Again, I know this was requested, so I tried to give it a chance, but I really dislike it, so I wanted to see how others felt. I'm recently coming from RIF btw.

 

I feel like a design has to evolve to survive at the different levels, but have you thought of a design that you think would stand out in the pros? Weapon design, wheel design, armor, go wild!

Do you (yes you, you personally) read the name as "Shhh, it just works" or "Shit just works".
