I was so interested in this that I called them to ask how much 100g of brain would cost. They said €10. I thought this was a bargain so I said I’d take 100g of Portuguese brain. They said it would cost €10,000. I said “WTF, you said €10”. They responded “Do you know how hard it is to find 100g of Portuguese brain”.

That’s ok. We’ve enabled your webcam and have been recording your vinegar strokes for our facial recognition algo.

You misunderstand what “Hot” means. It immediately starts menopause in your body. Causing hot flashes and rage posting.

What you are looking for is “Top” as it will signal to the bottoms that you are looking for companionship.

It’s understandable as the religious people also migrate away from Reddit. The fediverse cuts down their stupid “equal time for dissent” argument. The fediverse explicitly enables them to fuck off and start their own instance where they can put up their own rules and federate with whoever they want.

I’m with world on this one. Punch the damn nazis in their faces. No false arguments about tolerance here.

The whole point of the fediverse is choice. Religious groups can create their own instances and put in rules that reflect their values. They can federate or defederate from other instances based on their desires.

What you don’t get to do is say “Hey, I want to present my views that are antithetical to your community because you are a popular instance”.

Some bots are annoying for sure, but I love the sporting event bots that keep the match information updated in semi-real-time. I don’t see an issue with bots that are identified as such, it’s easy enough to block them (practically a requirement for any news community that has bots posting).

All of your assertions would be easily provable if Telegram allowed audits and provided public financials. They do neither. In fact, they just try to talk in loops when it is brought up.

The whole operation is sketchy as hell. Anyone who provides their data to such an org is foolish. At least the Meta’s of the world have to declare their use and it is known and audited.

Telegram wouldn’t even provide a CUSIP or names of the firms that supposedly bought their corporate paper bond.

I’ll stick with Signal. An org whose funding is clear and who has their encryption and security audited by third parties.

Encryption is self-made and they won’t let anyone audit it. Messages are stored on servers along with all the meta data (your phone number, location data, etc). There is no clear funding model to keep it up and running.

The whole org is murky/sketchy.

Looks smelly. Can’t imagine the sanitation or trash removal is very good.

Telegram is very sketchy and I don’t trust it at all. I’d stick with Signal if you can get your network of people to use it.

If the intent is to make it more fediverse aligned, maybe incorporate that into it.

I would recommend steering away from all the space/mythology/nerd nomenclature. It will just needlessly alienate a bunch of people who are already skeptical about how tech/nerd focused Lemmy/Fediverse is.

They gave up all their personal data to see a crappy algo-driven social media site. Meta still considers this a win.

I’ve got a fever….

And now I have “Hooked on a Feeling” playing in my head. Thanks a lot.

I don’t think anyone is arguing against dual DNS servers. The distinction being made is that a second DNS server is not a fallback. Most newbies think “secondary” means it will only be used when the primary is unavailable. That’s not true. A client is just as likely to use a secondary DNS as a primary. If only one DNS uses pihole, then the secondary will serve ads because it’s just calling the upstream DNS resolver.

Personally, I accomplished what OP is talking about with two rPis. First serves DCHP from 192.168.1.10 to .100, second serves .101 to .250. I send the two piholes as primary and secondary DNS. I also use Unbound as the upstream, but that is just personal preference.

Does it only keep the current email address, or a history of them? I am guessing some people who used emails with personally identifying information in the account name may want to switch to a proton mail account.

To push back against the anti-pineappites who claim pineapple on pizza is against god’s will. One day they will accept that what goes on between consenting adults and their pizza is none of their business.

This worked for me, but it is very unintuitive. Would be better to have an explicit logout option.

By default or is it opt-in? Glad to hear that they have taken steps to remediate the biggest weakness of their service.

E2E only protects data in transit. Unless the pair also encrypted their data at rest, their messages will still be easily accessed in plain text by their cloud backup.
