Nowadays everything seems newsworthy... I would not be mad about it if Bethesda did not include a pronoun setting, i am not mad someone made a mod to remove said option, i am not mad nexus keeping its sovereignty to decide what they host...

What is everyone mad about? Just let ppl do whatever they do.

The problem is not the dogs size. A Golden Retriever is about the same size as an American Bulldog (bitches usually a bit taller). The problem is which type of people a breed tends to attract. Retrievers are considered a nice cuddly family dog, bulldogs are seen as aggressive protection dogs.

However a retriever can be a dangerous dog and very able to kill humans if trained the wrong way. Protection dogs need to be trained to the highest degree, never go for the throat and immediately release on command.

Only cheap locks with a huge design flaw can be picked using a comb. The lock picking lawyer explains in many videos, how this is a very old exploit and easily can be defended against.

However, locks like that sadly still exist. So it is important to choose a reputable manufacturer - be it for classic locks or digital ones. However I will say, that digital locks usually have a classical backup. So that gives an attacker just one mor option to defeat the lock.

Totally agree on the paycheck. However we need to stop acting like piracy is bad only. Buy the things you really enjoy and support the creator(s).

Back in the days a friend suggested i buy Skyrim and i was like: "Uuh not sure if i want to spend that kind of money on a 2yo game". But since he was quite a fan, i pirated it. Soon after I bought the LE version and today it is still my most played game.

NGL: i also pirated many things of which i never bought the original version. But because of the bay i also bought some things i most likely wouldn't have without.

Soo kinda like the hippies. Just tech instead of chemicals...

That different instances handle issues differently is inevitable. Just from a legal standpoint they will HAVE to enforce different laws, depending on where they operate from.

However you have a point in the community helping out. I don't know what the application process is, but you might want to look into it. If you can just take over looking into some of these reports, it will help reduce this 3-digit load on admins.

I have to say that an invite based signup system makes my toenails curl backwards. IMO this will let instances die out slowly. I didn't know anyone using lemmy and just stumbled upon it. ppl like me wont ever be able to join an instance if it is invite only.

Don't misunderstand me: I do understand how critical it is for the operators of instances to protect themselves. Lemmy is a rather young project and still needs better admin tools. However, there are some good discussions happening on GitHub. Untill the operators and admins have the tooling to protect themselves, I see disabling img upload as preferable. It also took reddit some time to allow uploading images, instead of linking them.

It will be a cat and mouse game, which YouTube will loose in the long run. Don't remember the name, but there is a very clever solution: They download all the ads so YT thinks you are watching. However, ads are never shown to you. This is extremely hard to detect and it muddies the data collection of Google since you watch and click everything.

IMO: This is a net loss for YT/Google. Their collection of data looses value. And advertisers wont be willing to pay the same amount for clicks, since a registered click is not necessary someone who watched and the targetting got worse...

Lemmy is developed open source and the people operating the servers are not the same people writing the source code.

While I do not agree with the salty comment made about an amazing open source project, they corrected it. Maybe this is a great opportunity for people to contribute. Not everyone needs to be a programmer to provide value to a project like this. Sources can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet

You guys are funny. If you don't want to see ads, use adblock. Now SO is a free platform for people that want to contribute.
