It’s absolutely hacking those computer, just not the site. I just don’t want to get overly excited for something that doesn’t have much meat to it.

Unclear from the article but, while a bit pedantic, this sounds more like it was potentially a DDoS attack rather than a proper “hack”.

Kind of building on the D&D subject, if you look up your local game stores that have playspace, they probably have a calendar on their website listing lots of “Open Play” events or something similar. Mine also has craft/hobby nights.

You normally just show up to these and play.

The card and army based games may expect you to have your own stuff, but I would get in touch with somebody because a lot of the time there’s going to be somebody who will let you try the game with their stuff and teach you how to play in hopes of getting you interested long-term.

Most game shops host some games that are open to people signing up.

At one of my local stores, they specifically have the “D&D Adventure League” once a week. It does have a $5 entry fee.

Ok, this doesn’t sound too crazy in context.

They aren’t owners, they are suing to be released from their lease contracts because they feel they suffered “direct and concrete” damage from the way Teslas are now associated with “Elon Musk’s actions”.

In some circumstances the company also gets a cut of rebate. I don’t know about anything that may or may not be going on in the US on this front, but in Canada Tesla’s been under scrutiny because they submitted a bunch of forms last minute claiming sales that did not look legitimate, just before the Canadian program ended.

Seems to be a kind of online conference. For being open source focused it’s opening is very salesy/buzzword salad-ish.

"Open protocols, not closed platforms. The Fediverse, Mastodon and ActivityPub. ATmosphere, Bluesky and AtProto. Human connections, not AI bots, nor fake news nor manipulative algorithms. New funding models. New forms of governance. Better trust and safety. Direct relationships to stakeholders and customers. Interoperability across social platforms everywhere, and so much more.

After a decade of stagnation, next-generation social media is breaking out of the closed silos and connecting the world into a global, open social web. It’s a wild world full of opportunity.

FediForum brings together the leading thinkers and doers who build this new Open Social Web."

Too close to a real response for me to upvote in good conscience. 😩

Correct, it is mobile only. Unfortunately, I think I must be misunderstanding what you’re saying about the OP stuff. This is my view, the way I think about it at least, these are all “OPs”, ones with a plus sign next to the leftward arrow have comments.

And then if I tap, I get the op with its comments underneath it.

Try Fedilab, I think it will be more intuitive for you, unless I’m misunderstanding your frustration.

If you end up not liking WP, Drupal is another option. https://new.drupal.org/home. // https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub

They are the types to put all the rich on a pedestal of earned success. They just cannot wrap their heads around the idea of a rich idiot, especially an old one. It’s an oxymoron to them.

Not saying it is, but accidental, quality degrading, changes to a major/prevalent auto-correct system could result in what OP is claiming. Just to give an example.

If you haven’t tried Summit, give it a go, the default look is NOT Sync like but it has a lot of customization options and I feel like I’ve gotten my setup looking pretty close.

Honestly I was fine with the rebuy at first since it was a significant recode AND because they promised to stay on top of development a lot better than they had in the past. Obviously that was a lie and that’s why I’m frustrated with them.

Think what you will of the approach given this more disruptive option but she wasn’t quietly sitting, she outright refused to attend https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/03/04/aoc-not-attend-trump-address-to-congress-tuesday/81398760007/

I would say there is a meta element to this kind of attack that is less directly about public perception, though that exists, and more about the target’s perception and how “they” want to be seen. And yeah everything influences everything else but that level of rabbit holing is rarely constructive. // I also think this is less about foot fetishism in specific anyway and more about Trump being sexually subservient to Musk, this is just about as graphic as you can get with the concept while remaining PG-ish, or at least public display safe.

In this case though the KGB agent was killed by Russia for being an FBI double agent. This is a weird angle of attack. I HATE “DODGE” and this kid almost assuredly shouldn’t be in the position they are, but for other reasons.
