If a device makes an encrypted connection to a server the device makers own, there's nothing further you can gleam from studying the DNS lookups. They can route traffic through the first server, and they can resolve any IPs through the first server. And since you insist the person you're replying to doesn't know what DNS is because they said it's encrypted, I feel you might also not know that DNS can be encrypted. In that case, the network owner can see that a device makes a connection to the nameserver, but they can't see which addresses the nameserver was asked to resolve. And similarly, the device can refuse a connection to the wrong nameserver.
imnotfromkaliningrad's comment includes reasoning and it's obviously their opinion. Meanwhile yours is the propaganda verbatim with no analysis and no reasoning.
DDG is inherently bad because it's hosted in the USA and has to comply with those laws and gag orders. Nothing I've heard about Qwant makes it seem like a worse option.
In all the most read languages, text is read most easily horizontally. That means that if you want to be able to read the tab titles, they need to be very wide. If they are stacked on top of each other, they can have a fixed width that you're willing to sacrifice, and then you can read the titles easily and scroll through them quickly. They pack very tight (one line) vertically. They don't compress as much horizontally while keeping the titles legible. Using only icons and packing them tight is hard to parse, because horizontal lists are harder to parse than vertical lists.
Further, because monitors are so wide, even one line (and especially one line with all the padding that is required for a UI element to be comfortable to parse) spanning the entire width of the monitor is a felt sacrifice. The width of a normal website title sacrificed horizontally for the entire height of the window on the other hand isn't felt as strongly.
Only leftists think we score a point when we say 'rules based order' is a farse. It's meant to be a farse, or they'd say international law like everyone else. To the imperial core and liberals, this is obvious and correct.
Medal of Honour VR is 180GB, or about 24 minutes if your download speed never falls below the advertised speed. And that's even a 'nice' example, some of the super large games like Call of Duty and MS Flight Sim update between every time you find time to play and make you download hundreds of gigabytes.
Sounds like the instance admins should contribute. Hiring a third person to sneak 'moderation tools and data privacy law related issues' related development ahead in the queue would probably go a long way in stopping to 'refuse to work' on it. Or they could straight up actually help build the software.
You don't need to support Putin to be a Marxist, him and Russia are deserving of a lot of criticism, but it's maybe a little suspicious if someone sees everything happening geopolitically right now and consistently chooses to focus their anger towards Russia.
To be honest when I read Supavillain's quotes my first reaction was also 'So they don't like Russia, who cares?", Ukrainian national identify exists, if Russia annexed western Ukraine they wouldn't be able to erase it. Non-principled populist politicians do always suck. And Russia would've loved (I assume this is about) Donetsk PR to have been their puppet.
But then those last two quotes are pretty bad. Killing Putin or even having Putin do a 180 wouldn't change anything. He'd just be replaced. And the poor countries are no less civilised.
I agree with OP that block should be labelled mute, and agree with others in this thread that terminology should be consistent across ActivityPub applications and that the current Lemmy behaviour is the best behaviour for a block/mute button given Lemmy's public nature.
Could Lemmy (if user consensus agrees with it) raise the topic to the ActivityPub developers?
