I guess that depends if a noble character can be an "ends justify the means" character.
Garak orchestrated an assassination and frame job but it was for the purpose of defeating the Dominion. Since the Dominion was an oppreeive regime, defeating them serves the greater good and thus his actions could be argued to be noble.
Whether Garak is noble or not really is a philosophical question.
It's worse than Idiocracy. In Idiocracy, the president recognized there was a problem and hired the smartest man to fix the problem. Later on he even stepped down as president and appointed the smart guy to take his place.
We could only wish the Republicans had someone with that much integrity.
I'm holding out as long as I can on Win10 for gaming. It's my hope that Linux gaming will be compatible with most of my games by the time I have to choose between Win11 and Linux. Last time I checked there were a few games I was interested in that weren't completely compatible with SteamOS.
I've never actually heard of most of that. I've never heard of semantic HTML and I don't know what a dialog element is.
I think a part of the problem is there are a lot of people doing web development that never actually learned it. I'm a backend developer who occasionally has to do web development and I never learned web dev. All my training was with databases and serverside code and all my coworkers are the same.
Do you have to take your posts with you? I've seen people mention this before but I don't understand why that's such a big deal. I do agree about the communities though and feel that there needs to be an easy way to export your subscriptions so they can be imported on another account.
That was my thought as well. A single user instance with no local communities would only be storing posts from communities that one user subscribes to. Assuming the person subscribes to only what they want to see, that will be all they get (and any risks that come from storing information from those communities).
In a hypothetical situation where there are only single-user instances and community instances (instances that function as the source of communities), the only ones taking on risk would be the individual users subscribed to a community and owners of the instance hosting the community. There wouldn't be a need for an admin to make decisions to protect themselves that affect other users.
Honestly, I feel like self-hosting a single user instance is the ideal way to use the Fediverse. It gives you full control over what you see. However, that would require self hosting to become so simple anyone can do it.
Reading all these comments it's clear that a lot of people have unrealistic ideas regarding what Lemmy and the Fediverse are supposed to be (or maybe it's me with weird ideas).
The Fediverse is just a bunch of apps that can all communicate with each other through a shared protocol. There is no requirement for them to be free speech platforms or host everything. The whole purpose of defederation supports the idea that instances are free to associate or disassociate with whichever instances they want. Furthermore, nearly every guide I read on joining Lemmy state that you should choose instances to join based on shared ideals/beliefs.
For everyone saying "I'm leaving lemmy.world" I say "Good. That's what you're supposed to do." When the instance you join no longer aligns with what you want, you go to another instance and then you'll be back to viewing all the communities you want to see. That is what the Fediverse is all about and how it's designed.
I don't understand why everyone is so shocked they did it. Hosting information on pirating stuff is a lightning rod for lawsuits and Lemmy.world is large enough to actually get noticed.
I'm only surprised it took them that long to block it.
What I find surprising is that this is done by hand. I would have assumed it would be some assembly line process.
