Everything has context, and context matters. Your can look at any issue from different perspectives and through different lenses. From different perspectives, different aspects of the context might be of different significance, etc. As such, there could very well be a perfectly fine reason to say “stop targeting women journalists”. But that doesn’t, at all, mean other perspectives are invalid.

The sex, gender, ethnicity etc of the victim, and the perpetrator, can give very important context that can point to very important issues that needs to be dealt with. If you’re alluding to the actual deaths of the victims being equally bad no matter their gender because they are all humans, then congratulations for passing the lowest threshold for human decency.

Wanting to end femicide doesn’t mean you value women more than men, it’s pointing to a specific issue. It also doesn’t mean that other issues doesn’t matter.

I’ll just say this: End femicide.

Curious downvotes on this one.

none of my horse-riding (or even carriage- or cart-riding) ever came close to being hit by an NFL lineman at full-speed or being on a bombing range.

To be fair, you can get concussion symptoms from heading the ball too much in soccer. There doesn’t need to be NFL or boxing type violence involved.

Lemmy is a barren landscape of emptiness of your stray outside of All.

That sucks. But it also happened before smartphones. Ask me how I know.

The man’s got Trump mouth, I don’t believe a single word he says no matter what.

Of course having fewer extensions installed doesn’t protect you from the ones that you have installed. But the fewer you have the smaller your attack surface is. And as a general tip, I think it’s a good one, even on Lemmy. Because I’m not going to assume people’s understanding of the web, browsers or permissions. And when it comes to the general population, a lack of understanding of an extension’s permissions has very little to do with ones ability to read.

Paiden? That’s a weird one. Payme on the other hand, now that’s a good name.

Isn’t that true of all server side FOSS?

You implant it, duh.

Obviously a simple URL redirector for wikipedia requesting access to this data is absurd and would be an immediate red flag.

To you, yes it should be. But it does require knowledge about how websites and browsers work that most people don’t have. I’d be very surprised if 50% of people have any idea what those permissions actually do and what would be reasonable for different extensions to have.

You obviously shouldn’t install closed source or otherwise shady extensions from dodgy authors you don’t know, but on the whole there is very little they can do that you should worry about.

Sorry if I’m nitpicky or confused here. You just said it’s obvious that you shouldn’t install closed sourced or otherwise shady extensions. Do you think a normie knows and cares if an extension is open source? And how do they know if an extension is “shady”? And what about legit extensions that get bought by shady people and turned into shady ones long after they’ve been installed and the user base trusts it?

I don’t know what that is from but it’s hilarious.

You live by that and I’ll live by the advice I’ve seen from infosec professionals that recommend as few add-ons as possible due to security concerns. But yes, browsers are getting more secure over time and that’s good.

I would assume, and hope, it works really well for such usage. I only tend to end up on Wikipedia a couple of times a week, and 95% of that is on my desktop to have a quick look at something I won’t be getting back to ever again.

Oh, I thought it was because they were slowly pushing their salami further and further in.

Do you know how big and heavy that phone would be with a car battery in it?

General infosec tip: keep your browser add-ons to the absolute minimum you can live with. Add-ons are attack vectors. The more you have - the more at risk you are. And only install the ones you have a reason to trust.
