Hah, I am all over that first thread already. Also in that second thread. This discussion is getting pretty out of band at this point, but I've actually thought about proper cryptographic solutions to this problem, but it would require modifying activity pub itself. Which is why I'm very much in favor of voting agent anarchy to force the issue.

Cats and dogs living together!

Yeah same. As far as I'm concerned turning your own failed relationship into a hate vendetta is pretty weak shit. Do people really not just see this as extremely pathetic insecurity? Do people really not understand that letting a bad experience change you only gives it even more power over you?

Being "stoic" or whatever doesn't mean being a whiny little piss baby. It's kind of the opposite. There's nothing weaker or more cringe than letting a breakup own you.

Do you have a link to any discussions on this? I have browsed local posts on piefed.social but can't find it. I'd be curious to see more context in support of the trusted instance concept.

Yeah I guess for me I don't really trust any admins. At the end of the day that's a permanent database of user activity which could be passed along to anyone, so ideally the minimum threat surface would be that it exists only on the home instance.

Also, I kind of just don't get the point of obfuscating for some and not others unless there are some politics going on behind the scenes, which just gives me even more cause for concern. I think this is a killer feature for piefed and really addresses a major concern I have with Lemmy so it is just disheartening to hear that the functionality has been nerfed for seemingly no good reason.

One? Like a solid 10% of the thread wtf

Yeah and honestly why use a turn signal? They'll figure it out when you turn. And speed limits are obviously set too slow because they assume everyone will do ten over, right? And there's like a solid three seconds after the light turns red where there's basically zero chance anyone will be in the intersection! Social cohesion, order and civic pride are meaningless. Move on.

One time someone gave us a free cart at Aldi and my wife took the quarter instead of paying it forward. This is the worst thing she has ever done as far as I can tell.

This isn't a new thing. Dilution of "programmer" and "computer" education has been going on for a long time. Everyone with an IT certificate is an engineer th se days.

For millennials, a "dev" was pretty much anyone with reasonable intelligence who wanted to write code - it is actually very easy to learn the basics and fake your way into it with no formal education. Now we are even moving on from that to where a "dev" is anyone who can use an AI. "Prompt Engineering."

That is stupid and defeats the point and makes me rethink my decision to support piefed.

There are plenty of ways to handle double voting without plaintext user strings. The fact that it's done this way is just lazy and poor design and doesn't actually do anything to prevent a rogue instance from vote spamming with fake users.

An iPad or laptop to the skull will fuck you up. Pretty much every flight I've been on recently, people pull out their devices again once the flight attendants are gone. I really wish flights would crack down on this and just start banning the assholes who can't go like 8 full minutes without a screen.

Also airplane seatbelts are kind of a joke for kids. It would not surprise me if a kid came loose and became a deadly projectile.

When I'm out and about and looking for a drink on a hot day I'd love if regular unsweet tea was widely available. I hate buying bottled water but I also hate sweet drinks.

To be clear, I am talking mostly about defederation, but also about a development roadmap which removes them from the critical path. Mostly because I don't trust them, but also because they make building an open source community that much more difficult. I have a bunch of accounts on various Lemmy instances but I've made piefed my home for now because it represents a path away from tankie adjacent development.

I am seriously learning how to plumb gas lines to save like $600. So if you don't hear from me, it will be because I killed myself and probably injured several neighbors.

The unsweetened tea fight is a losing battle. The only way to get it is to make it yourself.

Weird, you mean a country with a smaller population imports fewer things?

Amusingly, the pasture raised eggs are now the same price as the regular eggs at Aldi.

The weight gain is really the big sign shit is going down hill. I've been making a series of changes since about age 35, and each time the new diet or exercise routine works for like a year or two and then the weight slowly creeps back up. At this point I literally ride a bike 200 miles per week and I will still gain weight slowly if I eat breakfast. It makes no sense.
