Yeah we are cooked.

With the USSR it was kind of all at once. Or rather, they managed to hide it until the very end.

What is this dentist shit? Everyone knows the best insect repellent is to just kom harder. Can’t get bit if you never stop.

This is a bold lie that Nutomic keeps pushing. These donations go directly to Nutomic and Dessalines. The servers are not the problem. The problem is the admins who happen to be the devs.

Weird how if you are an asshole to your users it makes them into enemies.

I joined Lemmy with every intention to contribute and make a significant donation as well. But after getting banned and dogpiled for daring to say things like “Russia shot down a civilian airplane” and “the ML theory you are referencing does say what you claim it says,” I’m also here to say the fediverse will be better without cringe keyboard warriors like Dessalines and transphobes like Nutomic being involved with it. There are other projects to support.

And I have had my life saved in almost the exact same situation by a helmet. This conversation is stupid. Head injuries are still the most common serious injury involving a sole cyclist - that’s without cars, pedestrians, dogs or anything. Literally thousands of people every year hit their head just falling off bikes.

Even if you exclude injuries from automobiles, head injuries are far and away the most common serious injuries people get while cycling. This entire debate is idiotic. Wearing a helmet is such an easy thing to do and has basically zero downsides.

Amazon routinely gives like $5-10 discounts on preorders.

Is that like a very tight power bottom?

I think people really underestimate how much goes into getting these algorithms tuned on legacy social media to create this kind of niche engagement. Actually I think there’s almost a cynical instinct here on Lemmy where that kind of effort would be rejected if it was seriously discussed.

Piefed implements an “attitude” system which tracks up vote ratio and a few other simple metrics mods can use to identify bad actors

Meh. At least pretending to be an adult feels like a pretty low bar.

Maps without the correct concept of New Zealand.

I’m always amazed at how much travel bullshit Australians go through to get anywhere, and this kind of makes me realize how it’s even worse for New Zealand. Is there any country which has a higher average international flight duration?

Too soon?

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.

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.

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