It demonstrates that nothing on the fediverse is private, and bad hacks that pretend otherwise are a terrible idea.

There’s easily over a thousand fediverse instances at this point, having to whitelist them all would be impractical.

Yes, I touch type so use it whenever I capitalise a letter typed by the left hand.

Fiat money yeah, but gold and silver have inherent value.

This is genuinely the Dumbest idea Trump’s white house has come up with yet. Trading actual money for made up internet points.

Yeah, I did mine like 15 years ago around when they first started accepting international orders (At the time they didn’t even have labs in the UK and they paid to TNT overnight ship my spit to America)

Hyperbole

Some forum software is starting to support activitypub with plugins. If they add the plugin then you can follow and interact with the forum from Lemmy. The best option for everyone is to start pestering forum admins to add those plugins so they get users and Lemmy gets more content.

Long term creating migration scripts for popular forum software like phpBB, so content, users, etc, can be moved to a custom Lemmy instance would be an option.

Helium was interesting, but they locked it down so you can only use their proprietary hardware for access points, it seems kinda scammy.

IPFS is used by several archive projects like Anna’s archive and libgen.

Meshtastic is a distributed local mesh network for text messaging.

Now seems a good time to point out there is an alternative DNS root that isn’t censored https://opennic.org/

It sounds ridiculous but then I wonder if trump could resist the offer of a knighthood.

Throw in a few crates of tea to replace the ones lost in that unfortunate boating accident and we’ll consider it.

He’s somehow less of a psychopath than any real life bourgeoisie. He’s given Homer his job back like 12 times, and apparently pays him enough to own a house and support a housewife and three kids.

If an AI is detecting bugs, the least it could do is file a pull request, these things are supposed to be master coders right? 🙃

“not an FBI surveillance van”

Would you say the same to a woman who lost her hair?

FLOPS, floating point operations per second.

The problem is the medical establishment doesn’t really care about men’s health; hair loss in men is treated as cosmetic despite the psychological consequences. The best we get are two repurposed drugs (this and minoxidil) that they happened to notice caused hair growth as a side effect.

I’m a transhumanist, but a lot of transhumanists are right wing lolberts.

They’d probably melt it down instead, just to avoid giving it back.
