I love the idea of taking on a monopoly, but I don’t like that, without regulation, it has a low chance of success, and the consumer gets to suffer as the monopoly fights back.

What’s a one chunk city?

Nevermind. I’m dumb.

We should just use second notation for everything.

I’ll be there in 5 min? I’ll be there in 2 or 3 hundo!

See you tommorow? See you in in 86K!

Next week? About half a Megasec!

Doesn’t Megasecond sound better than Fortnite?

There never was love for flatpaks and there never will be. I’ll never forgive them for killing my son.

Vendor lock-in is 100 times worse today than it was 20 years ago. It’s vile, insidious and borderline cruel. Microsoft doesn’t want to work with anyone, they never have and they never will.

Any feelings of openness and cooperation you get from them is engineered, from the ground up, to ensure that they are in a position of control over you.

Their crack security team is not the result of some spontaneous and sudden desire to protect their customers. It’s a consequence of having to constantly triage the financial impacts of a never-ending stream of critical vulnerabilities.

Labelling this proprietary shit “ecosystems” is insulting to ecosystems. They mere notion that you should be using Microsoft software to monitor, secure and protect your Microsoft software is downright ridiculous.

Microsoft is not the only, and maybe not even the worst, in a long list of hand-wringing, life-sucking, progress-hindering companies who people will willingly defend because these companies have forced their way into becoming a part of our identities.

I think if you link your Lemmy and Reddit accounts it filters out all memes automatically. Tell your friend to try that.

Bot, you also need to tell people that /c/blah is meaningless. This is not Reddit bot homie!

You’ve got something pretty interesting for us don’t you? Let’s take a look. Wow, yes. I think we might have something here. You should be pretty excited about this!

So, I’ve been looking at old memes for most of my career and only come across a few like this.

There were many communities made to capture old memes but only a few were truly popular. The rarity of these communities also plays a huge part in how valuable the memes are to collectors.

I’ve seen a few others in better condition, but collector demand for this item is still very high.

Given the condition of community and the records kept about the origins, at auction: I’d expect this to go for about…

… three to four million doge.

“Antique Memes Community - Near Worthless” “Owners Thrilled”

When Palo Alto sells your dipshit CIO one firewall appliance per virtual server. “Somehow. Someway,” says the salesperson, “we’re gonna get even more firewalls in here!”

And now the ENTIRE INSTANCE for lululemon, who’s bot posts 1000 times a minute.

If the only criteria to be in a private channel for admins is being an admin, there’s no use making it private. ;) Unless your just looking to filter out bad actors who don’t want to take 5 min and 5$ to make an instance.

FYI for anyone looking to deface more instances, That list is only updated every 24 hours. Depending on when it last run on your home instance, the info could be out of date.

Out of curiosity, where would the regulators go for a case like this? There’s no “company” running it per. se.

Concerns were posted a few days ago, but no POC that used the exact same attack as we saw here. Basically, there were some warnings, and work was underway that would have prevented this, but it was not done fast enough. There is a patch now, that will take a while to roll out, plus a renewed focus on general and related issues.

Don’t fall for it. They’re also an admin on mastodon.world! :)

They defaced it with dicks and changed the federation list to be only threads.net. I don’t think it was a state sponsored chinese hacking group. :)

You’re not misunderstanding. They just solve more than one issue, and create a few too.

That’s a personal preference though. You don’t have a need for a relay. There are more than a few people who want to run their own instance and at least browse all the things without having to subscribe to them. This is a news aggregator at the core after all.

I’ve been pondering trying to make one, but it’s not going to be a cake-walk. The tool (that was a script) I wrote ruffled some feathers for it’s potential to destroy the lemmyverse. While I don’t believe that could happen. I’m still interested in something easier and more integrated.

The theory is simple and I am willing to take a stab at it, but there might be road blocks trying to make or incorporate changes to the actual lemmy code.

That makes more sense.
