Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.

  • The goal, if the old fool can be said to have one, isn't to have a consistent and coherent policy but to present as being dominating on all topics.

    Command of the military and police by having big parades and deploying troops in domestic spaces.

    Control of money with import taxes and gifts to friendly fellow moneyed people at his sole whim.

    Control of people's movement, who stays and goes with their ICE gestapo acting with impunity.

    Control of morality, dehumanizing the LGBTQ+ community and deeming anyone not fitting their vision of 'normal' as being undeserving of support.

    You know, totally not the strongman/dictator/fascist thing...

  • Will Lemmy instances be forced to verify users' ages identities?

    Jump

  • I really don't see that happening. The internet and the real people that build it tend to be innovative tinkerers and hackers. Things get built because there's a need and someone tries to say they can't. P2P, darknets, proxies, VPNs, heck the whole concept of the fediverse defies the idea of control by an external entity. So they may try, but the chances are slim it works.

  • It's been observed that the porn industry is often one of the first adapters of new media tech before they become commonplace, but I'm not sure some things need to be shown in that high a resolution.

  • US House committee releases more than 33,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein files

  • ...of things already known and public while keeping the rest locked away.

    Just another distracting smokescreen.

  • Immortals must be riddled with cancer thanks to gene errors in their dna replication.

    Jump

  • Maybe, but immortality also tends to come with things like extraordinary capabilities for self repair and by extension disease resistance, so maybe they get some sort of error correcting code in their DNA replication to go with it.

  • That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why?

    Jump

  • It happens, the 'did I miss a cue' can be brutal if it keeps replaying. Only real answer I know is being content with your own self and if someone also happens to fall into that same space all the better. People get so inundated with images of what's 'possible' which a good chunk of it's enhanced with selective posting and filters, so we get some unrealistic view of what a normal happy life is supposed to be.

    As for the sending pics, shitty people aren't worth the brain space to stress over, you dodged a bullet there.

  • Missouri's GOP governor calls special session to redraw congressional districts

    Jump

  • So it really has come to blatant "fuck you we're not pretending to play by any rules of courtesy and custom anymore", and yet it goes on largely unopposed.

    Decorum is dead, by most reports I see the left outnumber the right by a sizable margin, stop playing nice.

  • What does it feel like to be an admin of a lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • Like any other account you occasionally need to update software and settings for. Then again I'm guessing you meant someone running an instance with more than just themselves using it.

  • US court rules many of Trump's global tariffs are illegal

    Jump

  • Staying an order pending judicial review isn't uncommon, particularly if it's on matters far beyond the influence of that court.

    That said, it's not like this admin cares what any court says anyhow. The scotus could say in plain as day language 'no you for sure can not do that' and it'd get brushed off as irrelevant somehow.

  • Why do narcissists have such fragile egos?

    Jump

  • How dare you imply my ego is fragile?! Don't question me!

  • Privacy at a cost: the dark web’s main browser helps pedophile networks flourish, experts say

    Jump

  • In the network formerly known as freenet, forgetting the current name, traffic to and from the node, and the data at rest is all encrypted, only referenced by keys so nobody has a real influence on what they store or transmit. Plus, they only know the peer that made a request, not a source or a destination, so just 'pass this key back to me if you have it, otherwise ask the next person', so routing is just as opaque.

    In cases like that there's not much to be done, as it well should be because as soon as control can be performed it'll be demanded or liability placed on those who don't comply.

  • Did you ever delete a google account?

    Jump

  • Hard to say, things like Nextcloud, Immich, Emby, and Mealie probably get the most exercise, but being a tech person some of the more interesting are things like Security Onion and some of the infrastructure tools.

  • Did you ever delete a google account?

    Jump

  • Yeah, though with things like the fediverse, generations that where born into the tech world (internet only really started to be a thing around high school for me, but my kids have never used dial up) and small cheap systems like raspberry pi I expect it'll get much easier and hopefully more common.

  • Did you ever delete a google account?

  • Self host ALL the things. I know where all my pics and docs reside right here in my house.

  • Did you ever delete a google account?

    Jump

  • I deleted one I didn't even remember having. Something I created back when I first got a smart phone and as much as I recall think I used it for the primary phone login account and had my separate emails just in the client.

    Only got reminded of it when they sent an email to my main address saying it had been inactive for years and was going to be deleted anyhow, so went through this process where they unlocked it after a month of waiting to see what was in there before shutting it down. Was pretty much blank from the start so it doesn't really matter if they actually deleted it or not.

    How my main email got set as a recovery is another question, probably just many years back brain not being so good at keeping online identities siloed.
