  • Congratulations!

    Tradeoff question—

    Should I expect to find some semblance of safety in sticking with the largest open source browser project I can find, given perhaps the eyeballs etc., or would you reckon not (or even perhaps the opposite, security through obscurity & Umbra is “safer” than Firefox)?

    Maybe this is so “lightly” forked it’s “just” stripping + cosmetics & the risk profile is essentially identical?


  • I’m wondering if you could have any version of this—assuming best intentions and smartest people—which did not demand very similar countermeasures past a certain equivalent growth threshold.

    I unfortunately have to imagine Codeberg is like Lemmy and flies under the radar from spammers.

    …for now.

    LLMs all but guarantee a future of oppressive noise to signal ratios. I imagine IRL connections, or at least numbers saved in your phone, will become pretty important there. So then I think up in-person local-community-vibe verification schemes but they all end with dirty marketers or operators inducing members of the public to astroturf or lease their accounts…

    I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?
