They're not though, they're just forcibly replacing mods who don't want to open with ones who do want to open...

Totally different 🙃

In theory yes, but practically speaking trying to access a lot of the modern web over TOR would be at best painfully slow and at worst almost impossible thanks to DDoS protection providers like cloudflare.

Used to be a manager, and thankfully left right before they brought back the Mexican Pizza...
That thing was / is torture to make, and always breaks or is put in the bag sideways (because it literally does not fit in the largest bag if you try and just place it in straight down).

The Nacho Fries comes in a close second though, but mostly because frying it essentially halved our capacity to fry literally anything else throughout the day.

I promise you that like 90% of the creepy stories you've heard are people either exaggerating or just straight-up lying to sound cool on the internet. The kind of stuff that actually needs to operate over the TOR network doesn't exactly want to be easily discoverable by normal people.

You're no more likely to accidentally stumble across illegal / dangerous content while using TOR than you are while using any other browser.

When DeStefano tried to file a police report after the ordeal, she was dismissed and told this was a “prank call”.

Why am I not surprised.

Good. Until a studio can point to a known-dataset that isn't just ripping art illegally from sources they don't have the rights to use then it's just not worth the risk.

It's not 100% unrealistic that large studios like Blizzard and Riot (who have very clear styles that "work well" with AI generation weirdness) will eventually have huge in-house datasets that they own since it's all created under the umbrella of their employees and contractors who already sign away all the rights when they make content for the games they're working on. But until that happens, it's so obviously a red flag / great area that Valve's move is just a no-brainer.

Obligatory "PIA is owned by adware distributors" warning.

To simply use TOR you do not need to run any kind of guard/middle/exit relay (this has always been the case), but yes there is the risk of being held accountable for other users data while hosting an exit relay.

This hasn't gone away thanks to any legal precedent as far as I'm aware, so I imagine it all depends on the tech literacy of your local jurisdiction & how good of a lawyer you can afford.

There are none. It is carcinogenic.

Good, rot.

Mine has become my couch gaming set up for my TV, so pretty much anything compatible with controller support gets played on the couch instead of on my PC. Also use it for playing torrented TV shows & movies on my TV by remote mounting my media drives on my PC.

I've also brought it around for travel a few times now, but I also don't travel all that much either.

Overall I really only would 100% recommend it if you're willing to tinker with the Linux half to really unlock the full potential of having basically a really decent Linux HTPC at your disposal. That said, it's not a requirement and I think it functions super well in the Steam gaming mode on its own.

Still bitter about Vlemmy, and I haven't made a replacement account yet.

Must still be some growing pains, because your instance definitely doesn't have kbin.social blocked.

TMNT was mentioned, and I also +1 that

I would also add Castle Crashers as a recommendation, though it might be a little too bloody / violent for your kid's age range.

If you can't tell the difference between learning as a human being, and selling content that you don't own the rights to, then I don't know what to tell you.

But you do know, and you're just being disingenuous intentionally.

Were they filled with spam? Or does your instance just really hate Star Trek lol

I like the idea, but I feel like something isn't working correctly.

This comment in particular seems to add the icon with the "internal" kbin /m/ link, but their either empty or it throws a 404 error when I try to go there.

Edit: Am i just dumb, and this is still a left over / ongoing issue with kbin's federation in general?

Looks great! Any chance this could add the ability to collapse child comments? Or is that beyond the scope / ability of this kind of stuff?

The one thing I would add, is that if you do switch you might want to consider reformatting your drives from NTFS to something linux compatible like ext4.

It can be a bit of a pain in your case though since you have so much to redownload afterwards

The beehaw admins have stated their hopeful end goal would be a federation whitelist, rather than the current blacklist format. So even if you were to make you own / join a smaller instance it seems like beehaw's entire goal is to be walled off from most instances.
