Great relevant Ahoy video!

Windows Explorer is set up to ALWAYS show full file extensions, that’s like a basic safety measure that really should be on by default but isn’t

Drives me MAD man. Absolutely MAD.

This is the most amazing post I’ve ever seen.

The flip side of that same coin is that, IME, fediverse developers champion data privacy, anonymity, and decentralization. These developers believe that users should never offer that much personal data to one platform, so they build and advocate for platforms that don’t require that data. Building a lowercase-f facebook on the fediverse would betray that foundation.

“No. { Several paragraphs of argument that’s not mutually exclusive }”

Arghh hate that shit. I don’t know why online argumenters love to start with “No and.” I don’t block because of it but man, nobody learns how to have a constructive debate anymore.

May as well make a new alt, you’ve already burned this one too the ground.

He’d be unimaginably sad to see the world today.

Nothing lasts forever, especially on the Internet, but I’m happy to say I enjoyed kbin.social for as long as I used it.

Thanks Ernest! Good luck on your recovery and next projects!

The ultra wealthy are building bunkers. Preserving any form of society no longer interests them.

I use mullvad and qbittoerrent as well, but I’m not savvy enough to have noticed any leakage. Hence my interest.

Following this thread, let us know if you have a resolution op.

Yeah I was gonna say, blaming Biden for anything is exactly what Trump is doing right now. lol

I see a shit ton of .ml accounts signal boosting this article, partying like its October 2024. I don’t buy the legitimacy of “altmedia.house” either. None of it passes the sniff test, to say nothing of the current state of the world.

LibreOffice will function perfectly fine for a single user taking classroom notes, or making a presentation, or a spreadsheet, or what have you. You might notice it crash occasionally, but in the dozen or so times it crashed on me, it has a 100% success rate at recovering the file. It’s kind of remarkable.

Jesus wept, look at that blindspot in front of the A pillar. It’s the size of Elon’s ego!

The prudity and hypersexuality are two sides of the same coin. In a culture where you are not allowed to discuss, portray, or explore sexuality, the only outlets for people’s base sexual desires become unhealthy ones.

That’s a brand new Cockney rhyme to me, thanks for the giggles!

Misskey has a massive Japanese population in part because it was written by Japanese speakers.

On the one hand, one of the things we often tout about the Old Internet was the ability for anyone to run their own website, forum, blog, etc, free from corporatization. On the other hand, running your website is a responsibility on your part, and in the convenience-focused Internet we have now, seems to be a forgotten lesson.

On the third, mutant hand growing out of our back, fedi software should be designed with security-by-default, i.e. no open registration, to prevent the forgotten lesson from being a huge problem.

In the wild, it’s far more common for them to just spin up a bunch of accounts across “good” instances (particularly those without registration applications) and coordinate.

In 2023, this happened to a ton of unsecured Misskey instances who then proceeded to spam most of the Fediverse. It was just a troll in reality, but revealed that the Fediverse is no less vulnerable to coordinated, sophisticated attacks (and with how politically minded it is, there’s plenty of incentive for nation state actors to do so).
