Makes sense.

Lemmy.world is filled with censorship and genocide apologists. It’s basically an exact clone of Reddit’s culture of smug libs that look down their noses at other poor people while working tirelessly against their own best interest by supporting corrupt oligarchs that weaponize identity politics as a highly effective dog whistle.

If you can use another method, disabling SSH entirely would do it. ;)

This is how Talos Linux achieves best-in-class security properties.

I’m impressed that a pro footballer found Lemmy. Welcome!

You need to disable JavaScript to read my blogspam.

I read four words then was hit with this.

You’ve just hit the article limit with your free Sifted account.

Ok, ok. If you insist. I won’t read your article.

Yes. And each of them is regressing into corporatism/neoliberalism because of it.

Why would you use this instead of Matrix FFS? Closed source and centralized.

I’d argue that FPTP is the real barrier. It makes it a FACT that we can only have two parties.

Joy Ann Reid is considered progressive? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The news media is lurching FAR to the right and people are REALLLLLLL quiet about it.

Joy Ann Reid was one of the most vocal opponents of Bernie Sanders in 2016. She is the equivalent of JOE LIEBERMAN for news pundits.

I used to keep a list of repos to pull onto my NAS in case they someday went closed source. I use “mr” for it. It worked great. I had it on a systemd timer.

It feels AOC is doing all the heavylifting grandstanding while all the rest of them smug bunch are just watching with "told ya dis was gunn happen" drawn on their face.

Please tell me my ignorant ass is just blatantly wrong because I ain't getting any news.

You’re blatantly wrong. AOC lives to grandstand and pander. Just like mamabear Pelosi, she kept REALLY quiet about everything (including the ongoing genocide she voted to keep funding) when her team was in power.

Here’s a video showing how she was hand-picked from 10,000 applicants in a nationwide talent search for a pretty face to intentionally and impotently pander and drum up support from low-information identity politics dupes to keep eroding labor movements under the guise of being a leftist.

Cast your attention to Rashida Tlaib if you want a real one. AOC is as fake as professional wrestling.

Yes. They did, after all, assassinate him.

It’s pretty funny to see this thread filled with wrong answers by lemmy.world users and those same smuglibs downvoting anyone that suggests otherwise when it’s pretty universally accepted that he was killed by the CIA.

The CIA even did a distinctive CIA-style cleanup job , eliminating all parties with knowledge of the hit afterward.

What for many years seemed unthinkable has turned out to be true after all.

There was a CIA cover-up. The CIA did suppress information. The CIA did stonewall both of the official government investigations of the JFK assassination. And as a consequence of this Agency misconduct, both investigations were compromised in important respects-particularly in regard to the fundamental issues of whether the assassination resulted from a conspiracy and whether Lee Harvey Oswald (alleged to be the sole assassin in the Warren Report and alleged to be one of multiple assassins in the Report of the House Assassinations Committee) was affiliated with the CIA.

Do you have a link to his undoing?

His knowledge of everything mechanical and electronic is pretty useful though. I’ve learned a TON from him but now I prefer Cutting Edge Engineering to scratch that kind of itch.

Are there obvious, inherent pitfalls to deregulation of anything at all? Yes.

Is it absolutely necessary for it to exist? Also yes. Self sovereignty is both dangerous and absolutely necessary…unless you WANT Uncle Sam to be able to put a short time-limit on spending your tax return once they adopt a Central Bank Digital Currency (and they will). With a CBDC controlled by the Fed, we will be subject to money that expires and other features that feel like bugs that go hand in hand with a central power controlling a currency.

Agree to disagree then. You don’t seem to grasp my points and I don’t grasp yours. Peace.

As my rant above detailed, I’d be happy to give up my belongings if I lived in a truly communist society. But I don’t. So, I hold onto my possessions tightly since it is literally the way I survive.

That’s fair. However, I’d say anyone that is just fine with the deaths of >50,000 innocent people because of some tenuous revenge premise fall closer on the politicial spectrum to Reagan or Bush than anyone I’d even consider labelling a “liberal”.

I suspect you should listen to your own counterpoint:

Don’t walk down the street because someone might rob you.

Don’t use your computer because someone could hack you.

Don’t go swimming because it is possible to drown.

Throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

An uncensorable ledger not controlled by any one party is (at the very least) a valuable technology with unique abilities despite scammers using it for gambling.

The digital equivalent of uniqueness is (at the very least) a valuable technology with unique abilities despite assholes using it for Bored Apes.

Just because you can’t see the use case, doesn’t mean we need to stop innovating.

Scammers:

• don’t tend to share any of their their source code
• usually have an initial token allocation where insiders are given early access to more than 15% of tokens. (this one is a CRUCIAL)..Obviously, the best ITA is one where the tokens are 100% available to everyone at once.
• heavily market their cryptocurrency before it even has a use-case (most projects fall into this category)
• their governance is centralized to some charismatic Elon-bro that talks about price all the time
• don’t let you use any wallet you want (self-sovereignty is CRUCIAL)
• don’t give you access to your keys at all times (again, self-sovereignty)
• are usually just some governance token or ERC-20 or some quickly minted Solana token ($LIBRA $TRUMP $MELANIA were all obvious scams)
• never have a viable peer-reviewed white paper
• their code is NEVER formally verified by neutral parties
• use technologies that are not auditable
• use technologies that are not decentralized

I’ve spotted many scammers a mile away just starting with this list off the top of my head.

For instance, I am the moderator of infosec.pub/c/midnight and actually locked my own communities until I see the source code.

I like the tech from what they tell me. But, I can’t, in good conscience recommend it yet because it ticks some of the above scammer boxes.
