Damn, if only there was some way to certify that.

Certs are free through Let’s Encrypt (and have been for quite some time now, like a decade). Certs makes people peeking at what you’re doing along the route substantially more difficult.

Idk, the only people I know who pay for YouTube premium are a queer couple.

A sitting Senator who is a member of the minority opposition party is asking for him to be returned.

You’ve buried the lede so deep. Try “the nine justices of the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision.”

The US government is telling the US government to return him but the US government isn’t listening to the US government. I think the statement that the US has lost control of the reigns is apt. The US government cannot currently control the US government.

My personal conspiracy theory based on absolutely no evidence is that they aren’t tracking who is who there so they don’t know where he is and obviously everyone would say they’re him.

The ads make you gay

The “fediverse” are distributed online social networks using a thing called activity pub. Because they all speak the same protocol they can interact with each other. This is why Mastodon and Lemmy can talk to each other.

BlueSky uses something called AT. AT proto has three things to it where . The pds (I think it’s called) is where you can choose to store your data. Relays aggregate those. Then you have to have a way to view it. In activity pub the first two layers are the same thing and we typically call them “instances”. Running your own relay for AT is wildly expensive and to my knowledge nobody is doing it because of that. Not enough people use their own pds to store data to even really make it worthwhile. The vast majority of BlueSky users are actually using BlueSky itself. Even if you consider the fediverse to be things doing federation, BlueSky isn’t really as federated as they lead you to believe.

Hi, I’m Nicole, but you can call me the fediverse chick!

It’s so crazy to me that ads pay less and subscriptions cost more.

Ethnostates are okay so long as you agree with their political views?

without controversy

Anno 1800 was an Epic exclusive (and Ubisoft’s Uplay) for a year on release. It was available for pre order on Steam. I believe people that bought it on Steam prior to the one year exclusivity deal still got it. It was a whole thing though. Definitely would call it a controversy.

I got a little lucky in that I filed my taxes on Sunday and made my 2024 IRA contributions then. Only some of the funds were available Monday but I was able to buy. I would’ve bought regardless of the price (I don’t really time things) but it worked out nicely.

“/s” means they’re being sarcastic. Relax.

(I am a different person, not arguing anything about this particular vulnerability or the government’s funding of Tor.)

I think you’re defining backdoor too literally. I get your point, but colloquially it just means to get something nefarious in. If someone is saying “the government has a backdoor in an encryption algorithm” it would mean they believe the government has a vulnerability in that allows them to easily break the encryption, not necessarily a separate “door” or something.

Puppy?

Yes, the “not supported” thing is just their terminology. They could decide to stop pushing them at any time. Though technically they could pull the plug on anything whenever, but they’re explicitly saying “we might stop supporting these unsupported Windows 11 installations at any time.”

They didn’t get rid of it, they’re allowing you to upgrade to 11 and calling it unsupported. Just like 10 is unsupported.

implying threads about other issues are less serious.

I never did this.

Why retaliate at all though?
