Also most adversaries are using VPN’s

Some email services like iCloud offer scrambled permanent emails to use on different services though, that’s pretty cool.

If ‘but it works on my computer’ was a software service

I appreciate it! 😁

Don’t worry its a good question:

• Hosting just a single page is incredibly easy, hosting and maintaining a federated instance is not
• It’s just about as barebones as it gets, all the heavy lifting is done by and on the Lemmy instance
• Set and forget
• The content is interacted with by the federation, who are probably not even be aware of the blog

I’m posting this with my alt because I seem to be having federation issues ironically enough, my usual instance is 0d.gs

Controversial nazi salute does seem to describe the situation most accurately, it’s just the fact that it’s controversial is bonkers.

At the top of the left one I could definitely see why people would think the black part is gold due to the lighting and exposure. I’ve never been able to grasp how people see white though, for me it’s like saying a bluebird sky is white.

Edit: the wiki article on this is amazing

I love going from “how tf?” to “the madlad actually did it” in seconds

Yeah for those with fragile masculinity, this post is triggering, for anyone else, we laugh at the thought of their collective mouths frothing.

I was using Lenovo’s handheld a few weeks before release and was really impressed by the specs until I turned it on and it was windows and I made an audible laugh. They were saying I had no idea what I was talking about and how windows was the future of handheld gaming. Which made me laugh some more, guess who’s making a SteamOS handheld now?

You wanna go back to BBS? Cause I’ll go back to BBS

Yea, and I would never claim it’s perfect, there are no perfect systems. But one of the most powerful nations being that vulnerable to manipulation is something to witness.

Usually in a democracy the people are represented by parties which they align most with. In my country I can vote for one of seven, which get proportionally represented by a number of seats in parliament. The winning party rarely has more than 50% of the vote, if they do, all the losing parties will become the opposition, and if they don’t they have to combine with another party to have at least 50% of the votes. This assures that the winning party or coalition still has to negotiate their position and decisions every single day. If one party would want the power the current administration in the US has they would probably need 80 or 90% of the votes.

Is it complicated? Yes. Does it make sure the people are represented? Also yes.

In the US if a state votes 51% one way, 100% of the electoral votes go to that party, causing a reality where a party could get less than a majority vote and still win. This alone is proof that the people are not fairly represented and isn’t a fair democracy. In local elections you’ll have a much more nuanced choice but at a federal level it’s antiquated to say the least.

I will say that in a fair democracy, you should vote for your representative, in the US you have no such choice. Be it by living in one state counts as more than another, or the fact that a third party has little to no representation post election.

Retail stores rarely carry a phone older than two years, as long as they push new phones every year, people will be buying those phones.

OEM’s could have like 3 battery types, mass produce these 3 and offer battery replacement for maybe 30 bucks or less? OEM’s could have like 3 phone designs and update the internals, making each screen replacement maybe 50 bucks or less? Instead each has unique screen, motherboard, subboard and battery combo. My 10y/o nokia has the same battery as a new one, they cost like 5 bucks each.

Needless to say I love the EU for bringing back user serviceable batteries, that’s a great start.

Per the book, [former chief of staff] Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president is said to have responded.

Yeeaah I drew the line at the printscreens, it was a really interesting video with a lot of effort and research put in, unlike this article.

This is singlehandedly the best piece of satire I have ever seen, I was rolling the entire read, bravo. As a European, this reads like a black mirror episode.

To quote the website: “This should probably be illegal!”

“Let’s not assume people using this are male”

“This is not a place for politics”

Wh… wha… what? Do they not even believe in more than one gender?

As the cat and mouse game continues, we ask ourselves, is water still wet?
