Because it’s a weapon.

So is a water pistol. Depends if I change the pH of the water?

I think it's actually my instance not loading "SD" images (sometimes not initially, sometimes, straight away?) and it's not until I click the "HD" button does it actually load images like the above?

My instance thou is mainly run by a couple of guy who are a little busy IRL and it might be playing a part in what happened above since Nicole generally gets through most of the time.

Bad, Nicole 🫢

I hear ya.

But like I say the Fediverse is a bit different to reddit and means someone from a freshly made/hosted instance can straight up send you "bad things" in a comment thread nevermind a DM unless the Instance admins have de-federated from a spam(my)/unmoderated instance.

I've been putting off the invite to help the admins of my Instance since I'm a complete idiot at the best of times, but I do think we need more people flagging / tagging / sharing / mass banning them.

Good luck and have fun with the risky clicks ;)

......closes curtains permanently.......

Has Nicole been trying to cheat on me again?

But seriously, sometimes these come from random instances besides the one you've mentioned and I can't see how you could block them outside of playing whack-a-mole due to the nature of how the Fediverse....works.

Maybe instance admins could implement some kinda cool off feature before being able to DM another user, maybe the Lemmy devs could like you're requesting outright allow you to block DM's. Thing is, the spammers then adapt and use other methods to desperately try to get you biting their shite.

I had another yesterday

that didn't show up until I clicked the [obj] placeholder in Boost and eventually did the risky click shit even thou it could've been CSAM 🤬

So does mean samurai swords too, those decorative ones I have on a three tier mount like these?

Googled what a tanto end is and I'm unsure if it applies to them. Help?

Mine's having the lazy arse syndrome of using it to sign in to Tailscale and having other friends/family using their SSO from the Big G to simplify them signing into my Tailnet.

Guilty as charged?

I used to help out in r/Botdefense

The amount of them was ridiculous and only because the makers made another bot to report them to us (with stats), could we even keep up. That was before greedy piggy spez shut down API access and now? Ewww

It does when you're sharing nationally classified information with what is a third party, not sanctioned by the administration itself?

The headquarters are irrelevant.

Is it?

Is that why people trying to protect their privacy use VPN's/DNS resolvers outside of the US jurisdiction such as Mullvad/Quad9 etc?

And as stated by someone else if you're using a personal device with a phone number to share classified information outside of a SCIF, you've got to ask yourself if there's a modicum of "sensibility" in the administration here.

It's like someone else said - I went back and dug a little on old.reddit (RIP r/America) and there's for some reason its "not being shared" and actually, neutered?

Maybe I'm just a sucker for popcorn but it smells like it shit, it usually is 💩

It is absolutely insane, considering they have SCIF devices / rooms but also the option of "not using off the shelf" shit like Signal and using a phone number. But here they are.

Hell, they could even use something like Briar / Matrix / whatever that is decentralised/does not require a phone number unlike Signal but instead they sent emotes, and classified information detrimental to US citizens over a centralised (third party) platform. Literally, insane.

Are we missing an /s here? Signal is headquartered in the US, and here's me pondering if they were actually using Telegram instead. Which would've been pretty apt.

I think at this point I'd be better off trying to use WeChat.....

For a bit of clarity some are not seeing. Google, sanctioned too. Crazy times.

To be fair, it's running at the top of BBC news here in the UK this morning which is kinda weird. They usually dunk stuff like this unless they too have some angle on it.

You're gonna be on an aeroplane for a month?

e: tongue in cheek and all aren't SD cards are a thing these days? You've got the obvious network solutions but if you're off the grid?

Why bother?

Pray tell, how do you "pirate" a SSO service as you alluded to above?

No one asked for alternatives. We're more interested in how you're gonna "pirate" these things. Cheers!

Exactly, you tell me since I'm just giving you examples of US hosted services as you asked for.

Personally you could self host all three, but it would be a fairly expensive endeavour and you'd be operating on a brand new platform with no users.

GitHub? Internet Archive? Wikipedia?

Damn, all this time using JF and I never thought of theming it.

While I use it on a SFF PC I have a couple of users that access my server via a couple of CCwGTV Chromecasts I handed them and so, unable to test since I don't have one to hand but can you / does it theme the UI on the Chromecast too?

Cheers!
