“Fair and speedy trial” my ass

Objectively a good reason to store ISOs

Have you lost that ability in your country?

This post is about it being attempted. See the OP.

How does parenting solve anything in a society where porn is everywhere, including on services made for kids, and where cities are filled with billboards depicting erotic ads?

This is a strawman argument.

I’m merely discussing a theoretical scenario, removed from the rot of our societies.

You are talking about enabling fascism.

But the need for them and their benefits [usually] greatly outweigh the risks.

Losing the ability to anonymously criticize the government, the rich, and those in power is a non starter.

Worse, even if it somehow came to fruition it won’t solve the problem of kids getting access to porn. You’ll sooner get pornographic zines and sneakernet. This is a parenting failure, not an auth failure.

The goal here isn’t to protect kids, its to silence dissent.

This would no doubt involve online ID verification at some stage, though that can be done with respect towards privacy.

No it can’t. Data can be de-anonymized.

Very cool, and definitely worth switching too where it makes sense.

But there is no mention of cost, so it probably won’t be cost competitive with regular wind for a while, which sucks.

But the silver lining is that this is among the first of this type of power generation, and it will only get better and more efficient as the tech is built upon.

Sorry this took so long to reply to! I was keeping it unread until I could rebuild my homelab server.

All good. I do the exact same thing with keeping things unread.

Tbh 720p is good enough

Oof

Definitely going to be trying for some kind of linux phone for my next one.

In my experience, you have to be incredibly selective with what you watch. The entirety of what I watch on there is makerspace type crafts, misc educational content, and the occasional video game, with ideally the least emotional commentary possible.

Disgusting

That tends to happen in autocratic states.

Thank fuck

Hopefully he wins the general

It’s software for budgeting. You can run it entirely local, or set it up as a server. It stores everything in an SQLite dB, let’s you import and export CSV files, and it gives you great options for querying and seeing reports on your financial records.

I’ve got a handful of accounts, so I set up a small python utility to parse the CSVs my banks give me to something actually sensible and readable for Actual. I do that once a month, add a reconciliation entry here and there, and it’s all kept on sync very well.

I have one morbid report titled “money pissed down the landlord drain”, and it’s far higher than I’d like to be. But it’s got close to every penny I’ve ever spent on that bullshit in one place.

That just means they become 100% efficient in winter!

Because of the networking effect, people don’t leave.

Federation is strong specifically because of how it gets around the networking effect. You don’t need a .world account to see content from it. That doesn’t apply for Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube without shenanigans.

This notion that everyone’s just going to pick up and leave Lemmy

You don’t need to leave lemmy. It takes 10 minutes to set up a new account somewhere else, with zero downsides.

Even Lemmy isn’t magically immune. If the admins of .world got handed checks for a couple million dollars in exchange for the rights to operate the servers, what would discourage them from cashing out?

Nothing, but it would be far less disastrous than say some billionaire buying the town square of the internet.

Because it’s federated, everyone can just leave. There is nothing stopping people from ditching .world and moving on.
