The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate....
It's all open source. Fighting bots on sites like reddit and gamificaton of Google works because the algorithm for detecting bots is secret sauce. If the sauce recipe was available to everyone then bad actors would just read it and make a new recipe.
Here are the screenshots showing the wrong post issue I described in paragraph 2. Forgive me, I am not a smartphone Picasso.
Edit: OK, the main post screenshot shows the thread I clicked about Jerboa. This screenshot shows the improperly loaded post, with all the correct comments talking about Jerboa and other apps.
To clarify, I thought I'd been mis-clicking when a page with sport stats would load. Then today I noticed all the comments were of the right post I wanted to see, just the post itself was wrong.
Shredding up my Reddit comments (editing them to say fuck spez, linking to Lemmy and Kbin, not deleting but I don't care if they do end up deleted) and I got this....
Quotes are often used around a word when it's similar enough to another word to be understood.
Paywalled means you must have an account and pay in order to view an article.
There is no equivalent word that comes to mind for this, but "paywalled" is so close as to be misunderstood only if you're trying to do so -- you must now have an account and login in order to view what's behind the login wall.
I disagree with defederation when it's due to non-illegal discussion, but I feel Lemmy (and kbin) should have more sane defaults. In a perfect world, no one would defederate but there would only be a whitelist of federated defaults on the main page for each instance so you have to actively go looking for the content in order to see it.
Nope. When government workers do it they only allow them to do it for short stints, mandatory counseling, and then they're done. Referring to specifically reviewing CP-and similar related cases, but there is plenty of that being shared on Facebook. We don't see it because it's reported and the paid moderators dispose of it quickly.
Funny enough I thought that's what room temperature was until I looked it up just now.
Colloquially, room temperature is a range of air temperatures that most people prefer for indoor settings. It feels comfortable to a person when they are wearing typical indoor clothing. Human comfort can extend beyond this range depending on humidity, air circulation and other factors. Food or beverages may be served at room temperature, meaning neither heated nor cooled.
Abortion rights activists were unhappy with the president’s comments, as millions of people are being denied access to abortion care in nearly half the country.
I'm not sure where you live but I'm in the bible belt and almost every single Christian I've heard speak about the issue (people are very vocal about religion here) has said that abortion is murder and they do not approve of women having the ability to choose to end a life for any reason.
And it doesn't really matter if a cis man is "big on abortion" because these laws will never affect him and his body.
I'm pro-choice but I've heard this and many similar things said and it's such a ridiculous thing to say.
"It doesn't really matter what you think about inhumane treatment for XYZ medical condition because you're not a doctor and you don't have that condition"
"It doesn't matter what you think about banning this important subset of knowledge in K-12 education because you've already aged out"
Believe it or not, things can affect you even if they're not directly happening to you. People don't exist in a vacuum.
Disregarding someone's opinion has never once changed someone's opinion.
"Big on abortion" in this situation means "other women can have abortions but I wouldn't choose to"
He's Catholic. If you can't see that to mean "I see abortion as similar to taking a life" then there's no reason for me to read the rest of your wall of text.
I see people say that NordVPN is a bad choice all the time, but I've never seen any credible evidence that they're not trustworthy. Can anyone provide any sources with valid reasons to avoid their service? I only know that they had some servers hacked in 2018, but it seems as though they took that very seriously and upgraded...
That's happened with almost every VPN provider that has claimed to be no-log and then got a government subpoena. At that point you have 2 options: A.) Shut down, or B.) Code a technical way to capture the requested information for that user.
Sometimes they do choose to shut down and sometimes there isn't a technically feasible way to get the information.
