jdrch,

Yeah I’ve done that before.

jdrch,

I doubt the president who lives on the internet & relies on it to connect with his superfans would disable it.

jdrch,

Each instance has complete control over what is posted on it. The only way to truly own your posts is to set up your own instance and interact only with communities on it.

jdrch,

True, but if server owner pulls the plug, all the content you have there is gone. They can also unilaterally delete your posts.

I guess my point is ownership isn’t as important as control.

SoundCloud vapes content and entire accounts all the time.

jdrch,

A Texas independence would not only violate the Constitution, it would sink the GOP in the remaining states due to the loss of Texas’ electoral votes, thus ensuring a Republican president would never be elected again. This is the biggest reason Texas will never secede, regardless of the state’s conservative nativism.

jdrch,

Lol no. That said, I’m on Threads too so whatevs.

jdrch,

Mine is fully backed up.

jdrch,

No reason given?

jdrch,

The FTC tried & failed. They’ll most likely fail here too. It’s tough for courts to rule against what the FTC sees as unfair competition when even the judges are likely Amazon Prime & Big 3 ecosystem subscribers.

jdrch,

I can’t imagine any law that would preclude the status quo, as Microsoft doesn’t own a controlling stake in OpenAI anyway. It sounds like the FTC is picking its targets based on market cap only.

jdrch,

to stop using it you have to de-register your phone number from iCloud.

Ah, TIL. I was wondering that. I’ll avoid it then.

jdrch,

LOL here we go again.

Biden heads to Las Vegas to showcase $8.2B for 10 major rail projects around the country (www.independent.co.uk)

President Joe Biden is heading to Las Vegas to showcase $8.2 billion in funding for 10 major passenger rail projects across the country, including to spur work on high-speed, electric train routes that could one day link Nevada and California, as well as Los Angeles and San Francisco....

jdrch,

Still waiting on the Moline to Chicago rail line 😔

FDA Approves World’s First Crispr Gene-Editing Drug for Sickle-Cell Disease | Landmark decision heralds a new type of medicine that can tackle genetic conditions that are hard to treat (www.wsj.com)

The key thing about this kind of therapy is that it’s not a drug you keep on taking - it’s a one-time thing which permanently cures the disease.

jdrch,

Great news for folks in Jamaica where I’m from. Pretty common there.

jdrch,

To no one’s surprise.

Techrights — The Effort to Silence (Squash) GNU/Linux Advocates and Press Coverage (techrights.org)

THE Google ‘News’ (Gulag Noise [1, 2]) mentions of “Linux” diminish again, partly because sites that used to cover GNU/Linux every day suddenly stopped a few weeks ago (our coverage of it had struck a nerve, attracting about 3,000 readers). No need to shame the publisher or anything (it had done a great job until it...

jdrch,

I used to subscribe to this blog. The takes were so bad I’d deliberately share the links the author was railing against.

jdrch,

I use Termux + Tasker for this exact functionality. I can provide the scripts and setup to anyone who’s interested.

jdrch,

Research: it still exists.

Questions regarding moderating and the LW age restriction

We, the mods of !autism, are writing because we have alerted the users of our community that we will report their accounts should they explicitly identify that they are under 18 years old in a comment or post shown on Lemmy World to enforce the Lemmy World Terms of Service (ToS). In said post, several users have brought up...

jdrch,

You don’t have to go looking for evidence, but I think you’re within your rights to ban any underage interactors you know of.

jdrch,

That’s classic British humor.

what's currently the best solution for a windows install

I haven’t had anything to do with windows in like 5+ years. I need to set up a laptop with it for someone tomorrow, I’m guessing W11 is nowadays recommended? what’s currently the best option for a hassle free experience (no ads, no random game installs, no migrations to onedrive, etc)?...

jdrch,

what’s my best bet for a set & forget situation?

Deploy WingetUI and set it to automatically update everything as administrator. The nice thing about this solution is it scales to whatever 3rd party apps the user installs in the future.

It’s about as close as you’ll get to Debian’s venerable automatic-upgrades on Windows.

jdrch,

Yeah I wasn’t referring to those.

jdrch,

Windows is my daily driver and all my PCs run 24/7/52 unless they’re sleeping while I commute with them 🤷‍♂️

(I also run Linux, BSD, and macOS.)

jdrch,

No, power on/off is much worse for components than running due to the transients involved.
