Someone give it to me straight, what is the endgame of this cat and mouse game? I know yt-dlp and invidious have been quite crafty at adapting to these changes, but the scales seem to be tipping.

It feels like Google will dominate the game into submission the same way it did with AOSP and Chrome. I know I'm being dramatic but it's really starting to feel like we're being cornered into a hopeless situation

"The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all."

If the concern is legit, wouldn't it be an ethical practice to not support services that use the problematic TLD?

Holy God I didn't expect the admin of lemmy.zip to chime in.😊 I'm very appreciative of your work, please don't see this as FUD or shade-throwing. I'm just trying to understand and improve my general security practices as best I can.

Well put. Your explanation has me most confident I should avoid lemmy.zip communities for the time being--thx

Should .zip communities be avoided for this potential confusion or no?

[–] tisktisk@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Excellent explanation. So with this knowledge, should .zip sublemmy/communities be avoided as well or is this excessive for some reason?

The ending closed parenthesis is needed for this link but I can't fix it sry

 

I've heard a decent argument why it should be avoided, and I'm curious to know to what degree. I understand avoiding .zip links, but should I go as far as to avoid .zip communities too? Where does this thinking become genuine paranoia?

Another reason to use nvim over emacs. Precisely what I needed today folks
