Look, fool me sixteen times, shame one you. Fool me twenty six times, shame on you. We won’t get fooled again.

Something, something, the industrial revolution and its consequences…

Trust me, I would love to get ride of gas, but my stove does work fine without power. Also, utilities generally don’t go down because of weather, since they have backup power on site.

I think a lot of people are confused by this. If you order sex toys on Amazon, they don’t then flood your feed with more sex toys because they have it marked as “embarrassing.” I think the article is saying this product got a similar classification, not that it isn’t available.

I suspect the barrel of lube is largely a joke.

Japan will literally collapse into fire before they allow immigration

Y’all aren’t even trying to hide it anymore, huh?

Hah, I am all over that first thread already. Also in that second thread. This discussion is getting pretty out of band at this point, but I’ve actually thought about proper cryptographic solutions to this problem, but it would require modifying activity pub itself. Which is why I’m very much in favor of voting agent anarchy to force the issue.

Cats and dogs living together!

Do you have a link to any discussions on this? I have browsed local posts on piefed.social but can’t find it. I’d be curious to see more context in support of the trusted instance concept.

Yeah I guess for me I don’t really trust any admins. At the end of the day that’s a permanent database of user activity which could be passed along to anyone, so ideally the minimum threat surface would be that it exists only on the home instance.

Also, I kind of just don’t get the point of obfuscating for some and not others unless there are some politics going on behind the scenes, which just gives me even more cause for concern. I think this is a killer feature for piefed and really addresses a major concern I have with Lemmy so it is just disheartening to hear that the functionality has been nerfed for seemingly no good reason.

This isn’t a new thing. Dilution of “programmer” and “computer” education has been going on for a long time. Everyone with an IT certificate is an engineer th se days.

For millennials, a “dev” was pretty much anyone with reasonable intelligence who wanted to write code - it is actually very easy to learn the basics and fake your way into it with no formal education. Now we are even moving on from that to where a “dev” is anyone who can use an AI. “Prompt Engineering.”

That is stupid and defeats the point and makes me rethink my decision to support piefed.

There are plenty of ways to handle double voting without plaintext user strings. The fact that it’s done this way is just lazy and poor design and doesn’t actually do anything to prevent a rogue instance from vote spamming with fake users.

An iPad or laptop to the skull will fuck you up. Pretty much every flight I’ve been on recently, people pull out their devices again once the flight attendants are gone. I really wish flights would crack down on this and just start banning the assholes who can’t go like 8 full minutes without a screen.

Also airplane seatbelts are kind of a joke for kids. It would not surprise me if a kid came loose and became a deadly projectile.

Weird, you mean a country with a smaller population imports fewer things?

Amusingly, the pasture raised eggs are now the same price as the regular eggs at Aldi.

Is the FSB really that incompetent they don’t know who in Russia is getting public grants from the US?

Dumb fucks
