They're getting no end of grief from bad/paid actors though.

This brings a disturbing thought to mind.. if an instance domain name like foo.bar lapses and someone else snaps the domain up (or of it gets stolen) can the new controller plop Lemmy on a server and be instantly federated? If so what kind of damage could they do?

Because it needs an extra dongle that isn't free and most headphones use an ordinary audio jack.

Charging while listening.

And above all, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Many of those left on reddit, not all but many, are the ones who were happily shitting on the mods who were protesting. Fuck those trolls, they voted for the Leopard Party. The rest of us did a data request like it said when the shenanigans started because the writing was on the wall.

Try unblocking the ntp.org connections.

They're harassing in the sub-500K range now too.

Who says you're not allowed to? Go ahead, nobody will stop you.

whose code you can audit

More like whose code is audited by someone or someones you choose to trust. Let's be honest here, average Joe isn't auditing shit.

trying to hijack the company

wut

He was always an idiot, he had South African mine money to waste is the difference between him and the idiots you already know.

Also never trust a message is private unless you've at minimum encrypted it. Facebook, Twitter, reddit, even here.

Of course it doesn't include moderators. Moderators are users.

Reddit and its ilk are not the open web, they've been showing that clearly for years with the most recent bullshit (from any of them) just underlining what's already written on the wall.

Web 2.0 failed because of twits like Elon, bozos like Bezos, fuckers like Zuckerberg and Huffman who doesn't deserve a rhyme. We don't need them and never did, they're learning that right now.

What an awful article that is.

But yeah, dude had no standing on which to bring suit. That doesn't mean reddit won anything, it means the guy behind WSB is a douche which everyone already knew.

It probably isn't which one that's the problem, it's more likely your setup.

If you can, try disabling IPv6 entirely, turn it off in your operating system and your router. I'd bet you're leaking past the VPN that way.

It'll probably be a giant "Fuck /u/spez"

I don't like flatpak or snap or any of them. System libraries exist for good reason, just because your computer is stupid fast and you have enough disk for the library of Congress a couple times over doesn't mean you should run a veritable copy of your whole operating system for each program. IMO it's lazy.

Sandboxing is a different thing though, if that's the purpose then it's doing it right.

Any reference to here (Lemmy) from there is going to attract trolls. That place is at least half trolls at this point.

Elon, like Trump, has no money. He has credit and idiots willing to give it to him.

You're going to use a 10 core 64GB machine as a firewall? Do you mow your lawn with dynamite also? 🤣

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

And Meta will probably sue them.

I've had that on my Android phone for some time now.

Dismissed =/= reddit won anything

No doubt, but they've really ramped up lately. It's like all the manchildren from t_D suddenly saw their chance to be assholes again without consequence.

Wired will always be faster with equivalent tech. WiFi is a convenience that you pay for with a little more latency, usually small enough that you don't care.

Literally everything that was said is factually incorrect.

There really needs to be some kind of repercussions for spewing trash willfully like that. It's not "an opinion" ffs.

Duplicate post: just use ChatGPT. Closed

If this comment gets one upvote who gives a shit

However, I didn't know what I was doing, and broke my computer just as the professor foretold.

A rite of passage.

Burnt cigarettes have over 9000 different chemicals, several of which are addictive MAOI antidepressants. It's not the nicotine hooking people to the level we see in smokers, it's that, they're having legitimate withdrawal symptoms from a legitimate drug dependency. Nicotine itself at the levels anyone takes it in is maybe a little more addictive than caffeine.

Ecigs, at minimum, have propylene glycol (GRAS) and nicotine which isn't necessarily from tobacco, and even the nicotine is optional. Many have a couple other ingredients like vegetable glycerine (makes "smoke" clouds puffier) and flavorings, but even loaded up it doesn't compare to the count in the first paragraph. Ecigs also don't burn anything unless you're doing it very wrong.

Also since I'm on the soap box anyway, when you hear fear stories about "vaping" they're usually lumping in thc/marijuana which is effectively different even though it doesn't need to be. Because it's regulated if not illegal you'll chance getting things like adulterated cartridges with oils in them, if you breathe in oil particles you're getting pneumonia. So when you're reading or hearing about some scary story it's probably that and the one "reporting" is too lazy or too ignorant to make the distinctions they should.

Corruption usually comes from the top down. The real trickle down economics.

They've done some gentle hit pieces, it's Ars Technica that's awesome. They didn't pull any punches. Also owned by Advance Publications.

It amuses me to leave the image hosted by Twitter.

Edit: it was pointed out that Elon is a creepy stalker even through a static image, so here's a less 1984'd link.

Did they though?

Cinnamon is tree bark.

I think the A is for asexual.. like why tf would someone not interested in sexuality care. At a certain point it's just someone wanting attention and I think we passed it a few characters ago. Before you, gentle reader, get upset see it for yourself.. these come from Google search, obvious joke ones were ignored:

LGBT
LGBTQ
LGBTQ+ <- this is literally all inclusive, no need to go further
LGBTQ2 ("two spirit".. aka furries)
LGBTQIA+ (longest "official" acronym)
LGBTQIA2S+
LGBTQIAAP+
LGBTQIAGNC
LGBTQQIP2SAA
LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+

If that doesn't make it obvious I'll leave you with a quote from Peter Tatchell:

It’s great to be inclusive, but the new alphabet soup is a confusing and alienating mess — made even worse when people get into spats over missing initials or the inclusion of initials they disagree with. The longest I’ve ever seen is LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA. This is absurd. It makes us a laughing stock and devalues serious issues around sexuality and gender.

I'll be honest, $240K a year is far more than I make now.. I'd probably be shedding a tear as I told them to stick their spyware in their butts. 😥

Fuck Steve Huffman. They couldn't pay me enough to toadie for that turd.
