You’re asking this in a community that’s specifically about doing piracy. Pretty hard to take your question seriously in this context.

why not just let lose of this crippling desire to align ourselves with some historical identity

Fair enough. Counterpoint: It doesn’t freaking matter what word we use. No matter what the word is, the right will attempt to poison it and stir hatred of it and assign meanings to it that aren’t real. Look at what happened to “woke”. It will keep happening, because the modern right is Fascism, and poisoning language is a fascist tactic that goes back to the very beginning. You call yourself an Anarchist; where on Earth do you live that nobody has negative associations with “Anarchist”.

Use whatever word you want, just use it consistently. Don’t expect it to stay free of propaganda, because they do that to our words on purpose.

Not the plant you think, though.

That’s why they call me Dollar Bill. Because I have one.

I’m confused why backups would even matter. Are the servers physically hosted in Mali and the government seized them?

Because if the government just invalidated the domain, that’s completely different. In that case a server device with everything on it still exists in the same place it always did, it’s just DNS that has changed.

(And yes, I understand that losing the domain name and the certs attached to it would be a big deal, but there’s no data loss, hence no need to pull from backups.)

This is exactly how I’m tryna be (I live alone in my house with my dog and my $0.003M fortune)

I think it’s very much like regular ice cream, but a flavor an octopus would eat.

Crab, maybe.

The Baby War of 2020 touched all aspects of our lives.

You went as cringe?

If your children would just adopt a can-do attitude while they’re mining, they’d be getting promotions

Movie studios: “This is definitely the most important thing we have to deal with right now”

I know you mean like drinking and dancing, but in my head I’m like “yeah my chess club DESERVES a nice building”

That’s pretty cool.

I’m truly not being a negative nancy but the last time I checked reddit had 400M user accounts. We should be comparing active user numbers, but either way, this is a drop in the bucket and reddit rightly does not consider Lemmy a threat to its supremacy at this point.

We’re doing great though! Good trajectory.

OK, as long as all the well-meaning people stop discussing it, nobody will ever find out about it.

Son, this is not it.

The ferris wheel was QA’d to the point that even a meth-head could set it up safely.

you edited it so it’s less funny, which, you know, why even bother at that point. Why would you intentionally make a meme less funny.

It says “Quick question: what the fuck”

I hope the analogy doesn’t hold because the next bit after this is they wander the desert for 40 years.

YSK that most of these have an expiration date (and should have an expiration date). Checking the box says trust this device that I’m currently using, for a while, thus:

• if you use another device to log in (e.g. switch from mobile to desktop browser), you will need to do it again, because security is tied to your ownership of the device, and
• if you continue to use the same device for more than–usually–a month, you’ll be asked again because there’s a possibility your device got stolen or compromised in the meantime.

In short, most of the time you’ll have to do this once a month, or more if you’re using more than one device, and that’s nominally to protect you.

However, yes, a significant portion of these are just implemented by dummies, and don’t work.

The particularly annoying ones for me are the ones on bill pay sites. If they work for a month, that doesn’t help me. I only pay my bills once a month.

First of all, it would never be applied to all of Lemmy, that wouldn’t make sense and isn’t really possible considering how federation works.

Second, automoderation is a necessary tool to deal with a flood of users on many subreddits, and it belongs in place. Each community has to make its own decisions about how best to moderate, but without automated tools they’re just going to drown. The net effect then would either be to shut down the community or allow the community to exist with no moderation at all.

You do. not. want communities here with no moderation at all.

Encourage communities to use tools that are sane and give you options for interacting with the community, and which don’t harshly penalize you for small issues with your posts, but what you are de facto asking for in this post is chaos for any large community.

It’s not that it was the issue. It probably wasn’t, although we’ll never know.

It paints a picture. A bigger picture of carelessness, corner cutting, rushing, and absolute indifference to the lives that depend on this company making its sub work.

And in a larger sense, it paints a picture of the way the wealthy run every aspect of the world now: carelessness, corner cutting, rushing, and absolute indifference to human lives.
