Well, the guy is in jail for what he did, and as bad as his action was the government can't just ignore the issues he uncovered.

I hate that I can't block posts about X. I have a bunch of keywords blocked with filters but obviously I can't use X as a keyword. I'm sick of news/posts about X.

Could be, but more likely it's just the result of having self hosted services, you have individuals exposing their own small servers to the wilderness of internet.

These trols also try constantly to post their crap to mainstream social media but they have it more difficult there. My guess is that they noticed lemmy is getting a big traction and has very poor media content control. Easy target.

Moderating media content is a difficult task and for sure centralized social media have better filters and actual humans in place to review content. Sadly, only big tech companies can pay for such infrastructure to moderate media content.

I don't see an easy way for federated servers to cope with this.

He installed a fake antenna? like a fake cellular radio tower? how is it possible that phones just randomly trust this antenna? they explain very little in the article.

Yes actually I already had those blocked but turns out that I had Elon's but this title has Elon’s, different quote characters ' and ’ so that's why it didn't work. Funny thing, after adding that keyword I couldn't come back to reply and I thought the post was deleted, had to remove it just so I can access the post again.

I use Sync for lemmy on Android, it has a nice option where you can add a list of keywords and it hides posts that have it in the title.

I'm completely ignorant of Spain's politics but after my 10min google investigation, because I'm curious, I found that apparently the current prime minister is negotiating some votes from a Catalan political party so that he can be reelected.

In exchange they ask for 'amnesty' with which to delete all their criminal records for the illegal 2017 secession referendum, which would mean forgiveness of the crime, as if it had not occurred. With this some party members who fled from justice would be able to return to Spanish territory.

There are also a bunch of financial deals but the amnesty thing is the one that makes the news.

They are asking Microsoft and Open AI to pay a subscription?

You mean that they can later equate "subscription for using this model trained with my book" to "subscription for using your brain trained with my book"?

Honest question, what should they call it?

To me, it makes sense that they don't want to call it a missile unless it has a rocket or other type of powerful engine. Drones are things that I expect to have the ability to return to base, and to have a propeller engine, so if any of those is designed to not return then calling them kamikaze makes sense no?

Also, that's probably just google enforcing EU user consent policy which will be mandatory for mobile ads starting from January.

It's weird that a user was happy seeing ads without consent and now decides to ditch the app because it asks for consent before showing ads it was already showing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Out of curiosity I found these.

Apparently the crime rate in Japan was 300k+ first half of 2023 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/07/20/national/crime-legal/japan-crime-rise

In 2022 it was 10k by foreigners the whole year, so let's say 5k/305k about 1.6% ish are foreigners? https://www.statista.com/statistics/1263319/japan-number-foreigners-arrested-crimes-law-violations

DIY or not they still need to test the laptop fully assembled before shipping so I don't see a way around that.

Is there a list with the amount these developing countries owe to China? edit: found it https://docs.aiddata.org/reports/how-china-lends.html#appendix

lovely, and my phone won't let me block 2G.

value is not rational

Follow up question for ladies: how do you more usually / prefer to get off: 1) by just "standard" penetration or 2) finger/tongue/others stimulation?

I'm trying fast-forward and imagine how we'll end up also hating lemmy in the future.

Thanks, you gave me an idea, the problem was that my keyword had ' but the title has ’ so now I had both types of quotes and it works.

It's not supersonic during landing or taxing, which I guess is when a direct view would be more useful.

For practical purposes it failed. If every attempt to achieve it failed then it's just a failure.

If you follow the subjective "it was never really achieved for it to fail" logic then anyone can claim nothing ever fails.

Meritocracy and the American dream didn't fail, we just never achieved it for it to fail then?
