Not the person you asked, but also a nextdns user: I have a light (in terms of blocking) profile on my router (set up via a DoH address, but DoT and traditional DNS are also possible). Then I have a much more strict profile I use just for my phone and laptop with more serious blocking, including porn filters (recovering addict). I set these up per-device, but later I learned I can do it in Tailscale (which I did).

Maybe you want to, or even have to talk to people who don’t use fedi apps.

I’ve been working remotely long before the pandemic and I will continue to do so - I’m far from being alone in that. Also, we are still in the “covid-era”, we just collectively decided to pretend we aren’t.

Because they don’t have all the things they claim to claim to have, or it’s with significant caveats. These things are publicised to fuel the hype which attracts investor money. Pretty much the only way they can generate money, since running the business is unsustainable and the next gen hardware did not magically solve this problem.

There have been a couple hundred zoonotic cases of bird flu in humans, luckily not human-to-human transmissible, yet (as far as we know).

I also suspect that the bird flu (H5N1) is not (as of yet, at the time this post was written...) likely to mutate to spread in a human-to-human context.

If you are infected with multiple flu strains at the same time, the viruses can recombine and yield a new strain. That is substantially more chance to get a human-to-human transmissible H5N1 than just by mutation alone (which is still something that should not be underestimated - flu mutates like crazy). There is a reason why virologists warn about H5N1 as the likely candidate for the next pandemic.

The plugin was an open source, but commercial product. It was forked and its store page was taken over by wordpress.org which unilaterally controls this store. Plugin updates were redirected to the fork, so essentially all users (bar the ones on wp engine, ironically) were stolen. Also, many sites were broken overnight by this move.

It’s a jarring situation, and frankly, I think it goes beyond the CEO being an asshat (he surely is). But I think this whole story shows signs of a mental illness.

Yet, wordpress relies on a defacto central store for plugins, where properties (along with the userbases) of private companies can be taken over by Matt Mullenweg.

Surely a malware that’s not a POC will not display an obvious logo to notify users of its presence?

It’s really astonishing how an entire article written using an AI-based metric is taken seriously, let alone discussed at length. Well, it probably plays into existing biases, which is likely the reason for its existence in the first place.

Wtf is this article, seriously. Was this paid for by Elon? If so, money well spent lol

The comment I was replying to stated that countries don’t get to exist beyond 200 years. There are several countries that exist way beyond the 200 year mark, many of them much longer.

Have you heard of European countries?

Only psychopaths make fasírt with this shape

I’m with you, but probably one good reason to consider Black Mesa “wrong” is the reimagination of Xen. Even though Xen is the weakest part of the original and BM did an excellent job at it.

Crypto bros 🫡

That’s really not the only possible move

Sure. On the other hand, I’m not sure it’s a good idea to make a new home at a platform with an investment from crypto bros, that will eventually become Twitter/X 2.0. https://universeodon.com/@cryptadamist/113472115447080382

Yet. Mind you, they are VC-backed. Eventually they will enshittify it.
