Seems like the actual issue was that the law in question would let him be convicted even if he wasn’t doing these things and just being a nuisance. It’s not that he’s innocent, it’s that the law used is itself illegal.

There’s a PR open (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/214) but I’m assuming Ernest has a million other things going on right now too.
Yeah, they’re not pushing it because it matches some far-right authoritarian ideology Meta itself has, they’re pushing it because conservatives taunting libs who fall for it and try to talk reason into conservatives drives tons of engagement.
about the Lemmy devs
I mean, the devs haven’t made it a secret about how they fully believe Chinese nationalist propaganda.
Not that it really matters though, since if any issues did come up, Lemmy itself would be forked with new devs “in charge” even if the original devs still continued most of the work. The lemmy.ml instance itself would be a different issue, though.
This is how they are
I don’t really like it when people think this. Every group of humans has people that would do this given the chance. Otherwise I agree, that Russian leadership really doesn’t care what their soldiers are doing, so the soldiers do what they want with zero accountability or fear of retaliation.
I see a lot of people talking about specific parts of 5G but honestly most of them are optional and only some of them will be active at once.
“Regular” 5G uses the same frequencies as 2G, 3G, etc. The carriers will be moving more frequency ranges of older Gs to 5G as time goes on.
In general, we can send more data at once because we have better math for sending data. There’s not really an ELI5 that can explain that part besides more math.
Another part is there’s also more math so that the phones can take turns talking better or split up frequencies better, so they don’t have to re-transmit as much.
If you’re in hyper-crowded areas, they made a new frequency range that cannot go through walls, but is way faster than the regular ones that we’ve been using. It’s only good for like sports stadiums and stuff, and you almost never use this. It’s called mmwave (millimeter-wave) and you can safely ignore any marketing around it. Not many phones support it yet because it’s useless 99% of the time.
the boss could technically read anything we wrote
My old work actually ran into some issues because they couldn’t see DMs/private channels.
Maybe this is a cloud vs. self-hosted thing? It’s been a few years since I’ve worked there though.
Is that some sort of ISP-level block?
Sounds like you need a VPN.
I don’t mean that it’s not old, I mean that it’s still got some more room for improvement. Passkeys, for instance, are an attempt at improving the user experience.
I’d also imagine at least part of it is the same as how normal people seem to think ADHD people with amphetamine prescriptions are just constantly high.
They don’t realize that whatever good feelings they’re getting from taking 100mg of amphetamines at once don’t apply at all to people chronically on small extended doses.
It still defends against one failure mode (the website gets hacked but you’re ok) but yeah, obviously if you get hacked and the hacker knows how to get your vault out then you’re 100% screwed.
My suggestion is always hardware 2FA, even though it’s not as mature as the other systems. Personally I have two Yubikeys (in case one breaks/gets lost) but it does mean that I need to add TOTPs to both of them each time I add a new 2FA.
I’ve at least heard people defending PHP recently. Supposedly it’s, uh, better than before.
That said if there was a community fork of Lemmy that people started organizing around I wouldn’t mind seeing if there was something I could help with.
On another topic, there are rumors circulating that we are fascists or supported genocide.
This is the part that I think will make it more difficult, since I imagine there are quite a few devs that would rather contribute to projects by less politically-outspoken project owners.
(I would also note that they don’t deny being tankies, and tankies tend to insist they aren’t fascists. They also deny the Uyghur genocide so they have that going for them too.)
I guess it kinda matters in that people like me certainly won’t be giving any code contributions, which for an open source project can be critical to its long-term health.
But devs also tolerate and use tons of code and the licenses that Richard Stallman wrote, even if he’s a huge creepball that a bunch of other free software orgs had to back away from.
So we’ll see. I also wouldn’t rule out a fork of it just so that it’s officially ran by a less controversial group.
If people really care there’s also kbin, which is the same content just with a different (imo better) UI.
Aren’t the flagship instances right now essentially lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works? Maybe Beehaw once the re-federation gets figured out? And then kbin.social on the kbin side.
This only matters if you use lemmy.ml, which I would expect to be largely defederated at some point soonish.
Minecraft had tons and tons of issues until Microsoft finally got Notch to stop writing code for it.
I suspect fear and uncertainty plays into it a lot too.
The world is changing quite quickly. Boomers got to live through the boom of the 70’s, and younger people keep being told about some fictional utopia of the “good old days.” Whatever they jobs they used to do are either automated or irrelevant now. The white cis male power dominance is eroding, and with it a lot of the social advantages they used to get for free are going away.
So, things are getting worse, and they’re scared and want to do something about it. The problem is, a lot of these people have a zero-sum mentality, where to improve their own standing, they must do so by harming someone else’s standing. The idea that things can be better for everyone with no one losing out just doesn’t exist there.
Obviously that’s not true, but if you try to convince them of that? Well, you’re just trying to trick them so that you can take from them. It’s an us vs. them mentality. And you surely don’t want your kids to join the enemy’s side, so you do your best to make sure they’re raised the “right” way. And if your side wants to harm you? Well, as long as the others are getting hurt more, it’s still a good thing, because now you’re getting ahead of the others.
$70 is typical for that, except it’s 30GB of data for the month before they reduce you to around 25kB/s.
