Now there's a guy that deserves it, it's sad that he was surrounded by such a spezwad.

True, but look at the documentation for IBM platforms and compare it to legacy documentation from Microsoft. People keep using it and part of it is because it has a lower maintenance cost than the short term costs of moving on. It's not trust that exists in a vacuum, Microsoft has tried to sell too hard being a Microsoft developer using their Microsoft tools to ever have that legacy demand, companies will just use *nix instead.

So basically, time and space.

I did this all the tine with SNES roms in emulators, you could even fast-forward in them.

The patent seems like bullshit, and will be easily challenged by any prior art. At first when I read the title I thought they were going to patent something nifty, like use CPU native VM support to simulate what emulators did and truly save and return to any point possible, but it's just a concept that has a hefty amount of prior art already substantiated.

The thing is, there are jails, and then there are luxury jails.

What we really need is healthier oral microbiota, the kind that are equipped with miniature flosses to floss your teeth with.

I must go to shit dentists, because I swear I've had this happen.

Aren't you proving his point, neither of those can be viewed by us normal users. If you want to archive posts, you can do so through web.archive.org next time.

But besides being claims that are impossible for any user to verify without context, the scope of it really seems like something that should be limited to your instance and discussions with the admins of other instances. You can't just keep chopping hydra heads, you'd do better by trying to get in contact with the admins who can see it directly, if it is affecting your instance.

To that end, archiving the evidence and creating one huge mega-thread or document that you can just include when needed might better serve you. Like I told the user, I don't see it as doxing, just potentially libel, so that's all you have to dismiss from your end. Just try to avoid collecting and pointing to personally identifying information and if anything keep it about the argument that's being claimed to dismiss it and not just the person. If you need to implement data retention policies for personal data, you can also say so, telling them you can't identify them but these sort of arguments have been made in the past which could be what they are referring to, etc. I'm no lawyer, just my two cents.

If the case is that they keep bringing it up, I don't see it as harassment to respond to them, and it clearly isn't an issue that can be argued based on one word premises alone. If someone is repeatedly commenting on someone else's comments, I guess it depends on how much it involves them as well.

The problem with the fediverse in that regard is that it's basically multicasted. On one hand that's a negative for the reasons you've said, but on the other hand it means you can easily dig up information that moderators and admins acting in bad faith can hide and then claim whatever bullshit they want.

Ultimately, you really shouldn't be seeking privacy in lemmy and should try to refrain from using information that can personally identify you if you are really afraid or really incapable of having a public presence. If someone tries to dox you, they could dox you from any website. If they do, the way to proceed with that is usually filling out a police complaint form and/or any other specialized agency in your country block that can deal with it, or if you have the money, to get in contact with a lawyer which usually makes it about who has the biggest bank.

However, we also have to understand what is being called doxing. In your case, I understand its someone pointing out an alt that had apparently posted content word for word. Doxing generally involves things like the SWAT showing up and assaulting your home or people messing up your personal life by making personal data public for misuse. I'm not sure how noting similarities to try to imply that you should also be banned applies here.

And trust me, I'm in a very similar situation, except it involves an admin committing libel just because I complained about them where people who complain about them also have, ergo I must be whatever the worst shit that he can throw at me and get to stick is, which apparently has been that I'm an alt of an account who is a pedophile on another server. Not only that, they didn't even mind including and leaving several links to an external server spread out through several comments that they claim hosts the pedophilia with the implication that people go there and check it out for themselves to confirm an association to the person they were accusing. Implied because, well, they are just leaving the link there without any real explanation, which might mean a user on a "No porn" instance could also randomly click on it if they are careless.

Going after libel is pretty shit, you can't really do anything about it, but I have reported the links to what is by their own words pedophilia to the appropriate organizations because that's far more serious and I'm sure not going to sort through that shit. But would I call it doxing? Well, besides the fact that the claim is false, no, sometimes libel is just libel, and sometimes linking to CSAM for any reason is still linking to CSAM. Looking at this, some lawyers do claim it is when it is tracking multiple usernames, although I imagine it might involve associating accounts with personal identifying information.

Doing it isn't necessarily wrong but should be limited to gathering information to report to law enforcement agencies to help with their investigations, if it's something more than casual speculation. In communities where the community itself can be considered an extension of the authority, the issue limited to it, where transparency is valued, and where the information itself isn't really that personally identifying, well, the circumstances seem different. Frankly, I think an abuse of authority is worse than doxing in such an environment, specially in a social network where you control the flow of communication. If that's your case, you should probably be calling that out instead.

Usually never.

Indeed, it's what happens when the unstoppable force of societal values meets the immovable object of someone's personal ego.

Toxocutiosis.

Now do Gentoo.

These have some implied requirements like being ivy league material and a certified patriot. They are also both essentially superprodigies who can only exist in fiction.

You can take a self-defense class, though. Get someone to train you with weapons and parkour, and you are all set to be an average person with self-defense, gun training, and some novice-level parkour abilities.

There's already examples of social networks that have upvotes and downvotes public. Besides kbin.social, which isn't the most popular, there are some that have existed for a long time outside of the English speaking world, like meneane.net

Admins and instance owners will be seeing that information, and given how badly some of them behave without any remorse, I don't see any reason why that privilege shouldn't just be made accessible for all. Otherwise you have no way to judge downvotes, which just essentially makes them useless except for current thread sorting.

See who makes it, and you can generally get a sense if they are making a downvote honestly, just circlejerking it, or a high likelihood of an alt because a dead zombie account that hasn't made a comment in forever suddenly decides to downvote in a deeply nested debate. In my experience, there is a high correlation of people who want anonymous downvotes and people who don't want to be called out for their shit, even when they are admins who are constantly peeking to see who's downvoting them.

It's clearly not the doomsday that the naysayers say allowing it will be.

Australia's presence in it is the ultimate proof, a history of conservative governments whose only difference is universal healthcare, and even with all the deadly wildlife out to get them.

Damn, they are onto us.

The Netflix version

Yeah, but on the other hand, you also know it will be a massive evolution that will last several generations nevertheless.
