Technology@beehaw.org•Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine
1·3 years agoTurning it on by default would be a massive disservice to the work that domain registries and registrars have been doing to allow Unicode to be used in domain names. In Spanish speaking countries the ñ character is pretty ubiquitous for example, and the workaround of replacing it with an n creates many problems like misdirected web traffic and typos in email addresses. Unicode in URLs and domain names is a feature, abuse should be attacked by means other than disabling it.
Is VR really so ubiquitous to warrant these concerns? In my opinion most of the warnings about how this technology encourages “escaping reality” apply more to things that have had an established place in society for decades, namely phones, social media and online gaming. I have two kids and a VR headset is the least of my concerns, but they could be sucked in to the non-reality of a personal phone in two seconds if I allow it.

Very nice! I’m self hosting Photon right now and it couldn’t be easier. Keep up the great work!

Technology@beehaw.org•Corsair acquires mechanical keyboard specialist Drop
6·3 years agoI’ve always known Drop for their audio sales and products, I hope they continue to collaborate with audio brands in the future. The Sennheiser/Drop HD58x is one of my favorites, it was hard to beat for the price when I bought them.
I’ve been using FocusReader for a while now to sync with my self hosted RSS provider (FreshRSS), works great and is under active development.

Technology@beehaw.org•Maybe a controversial opinion, but Lemmy is pretty great as a PWAEnglish
1·3 years agoI think the apps currently in development will only get better with time, but currently the web app is my favorite way to browse Lemmy.
As if these two needed their egos stroked even more. I’ll never understand why billionaires need so much attention, and why on earth we give it to them.


I think you still have to specify the URL up to the greader.php page, maybe in your case it would be
