I’ll probably never trust anything they’ve touched until I’ve taken it apart and put it back together again.
Me too. But the vast majority of users need guardrails, and have a different threat model. Even those that also care about privacy, if they just want a solution that comes by default, this adtech ‘fake’ or ‘superficial’ solution does provide something. And anything is more than nothing.
This! Is the most resilient. It can run on anything, not just LoRa! So, it can work on underlying infra (assuming there’s power, e.g. renewables)
This is entirely different approach, sorry. Fwiw, I bought a wireless (2.4Ghz) keyboard that has a trackpad, and just use a zoomed-in KDE Plasma. Far from the eye candy of a kiosk, but with some customization you may achieve satisfaction (:
TPB is still around, only magnet links are around. They were hosting torrent files which is basically a list of trackers. That’s what they had to drop, in order to continue functioning. And their DNS is still banned like from almost every westernized country.
Regardless of technicalities, they were #1 biggest player. (Today they are like #3 or #5?) What I mean to say, is that they got busted mainly because of this. To make an example.
Interesting! Python and Bash do the same as British.
Oh c’mon the headline is clear. Get pregante XOR go home!
Yeah. And, leave the other at home. Somehow, that mutual exclusivity between devices made me write “or”. Hehe.
Or get a burner
Now that’s rad. Been consuming leftist niche internet for a while, never read such connection. You’re a poet. Thanks!
Emacs has panes. Is this supposed to imitate a fraction of the holy power? ;)
Oh baby rebase me Rebase me No mohr.
You could also consider Zulip they have been around for a while as the succesor of IRC but never arose in popularity. I like their concept of #tags for filtering messages inside a channel through #topics :)
Not OP, but I’ll chime in my reason: History. Messages older than… 30-day are only accessible for a fee. Even when you star/ pin those messages. It’s so hateful.
Yeah… since you are asking, try not to do anything. They’re people. They like jokes too.
Of course, all advise given in this thread is valuable, but I mean being overcautious may be the “special treatment” that is there routinely reminding them “oh you’re different”. They don’t need that. Just respect.
Yet, they’re entitled to their own decisions, triumphs and failures. So, they can shutdown the instance. Now, it would be a different thing if people really want them to be around again, raise some money, grab a backup, buy the domain name, let’s gooo!! …or not. Fine by me. If only 2 users from the instance decided to start a new one this is a huge win :)
The Age of Forks
Maybe won’t be all entirely too bad or doom… I would like to see a silver lining, some FLOSS developers are smarter than trolls.
Here’s a book for a different audience. Explains in layman terms why to be wary about this tech, https://thebullshitmachines.com/
