  • I like and been using JetBrains IDEs for years now,
    and am/was happily paying for a good product.

    However I feel like they’ve been going backwards in the last year or 2,
    it feels less premium,
    and more like your a paying beta tester,
    since lately I deal with bugs in their IDEs too often to my liking.

    But this news kinda scares me,
    usually if something is free,
    then you are the product,
    paying with your data.

    Which I can see happen to these IDEs now :/
    Especially in this day and age where massive data collection by big tech is sadly normalized, and where coding data likely is wanted to be trained upon by AI companies with the current ongoing hype bubble and all.

    If that would start to happen to JetBrains products, I fear for enshitiffication in the forms of:

    • Losing your privacy
    • Leaking company secrets

    And further once the AI bubble pops,
    which will lead to less demand for data,
    since there will be less companies.




  • OP I agree with you, it’s a great idea imo.
    I’ve been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
    and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
    that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..

    Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
    https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban

    I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
    so it’s good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.

    However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
    Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.










  • I won’t disclose where I store mine.

    But I’d recommend to:

    • Not backup your PW manager’s database + key file in the same location
      (That would decrease security, x1 data breach would allow them to easily brute force your PW DB since they’ll have the key)
    • Not go with a PW manager that does not allow you to choose a location where you desire to backup to (Seen plenty of mainstream PW managers getting data breached by now, so going with a cloud, which is not solely used for PW managers, has an advantage imo, since they tend to be less targeted by hackers)

    I’ve been happily using KeeWeb + Keepass2Android for years now:

    It might not be as environmentally friendly as POS (Proof of Stake),
    however it’s much more secured against attacks.

    POS only has a few hundred validators that need to be attacked.
    POW needs tens of thousands if not more miners that need to be attacked.

    Imo monetary systems,
    should aim for maximum security.
