Thats actually very cool! I didn’t know that this much automation and engineering stuff even existed.
News break: capitalism is on its way out. Now we have tech feudalism (enshittification as a business model). Rejoice!
They should be disowned. As should be everyone who made money from slavery, war profiteering, etc.
That’s a pretty cool comparison. Can you elaborate on that a bit? I have no idea what actually happened with christianity in ancient rome.
First of all, firefox is politically active and on the correct side too. Fighting for equality, against discrimination and for a fairer world for us all is the only cause that actually makes sense atm imo.
I‘m not totally sure if I like the fact that they don’t actively talk about their „new“ focus more but I‘m not actively researching that either, but I digress.
Besides that, they‘re asking to amplify factual voices (instead of the extremes) which I find baffling that someone has to actually suggest this. People thinking any other way would make sence are definitely high on something.
Thats actually what I‘m gonna do at some point. Your instance needs to be exposed, right? No chance it would work behind a firewall without a tunnel?
Thats what you get when you don’t care about single entities controlling the market.
Almost none of the people I follow on Twitter aren't on Mastodon and almost none of the people that follow me aren't there either.
In that case it’s your own fault.
You mean „none of the people are on mastodon“ not „aren‘t“.
It’s insane. I had no idea sex workers would be in such harsh conditions in the US.
One Problem pops out to me: usually, someone would just open a bank dedicated to sex workers and favor their business over others. But the banking industry would probably shut off that bank by denying cooperation, which is a form of market manipulation.
That is not mentioning the fact that opening up a bank is no small feat. I‘ve read about payment processors like n26 who later became a legit bank. I believe that is not easy to achieve. It would be easiest to maybe search for a bank outside of the us who does not share information about their customers without a warrant.
Swiss banks come to mind although switzerland is very conservative afaik. Germany would be my next guess.
Prostitution is legal here and I think the issue is not as big in that case. Maybe if someone was able to transfer their funds here, they could circumvent the US banking system.
That way, politics would be forced to act since they would be missing out on all the money that goes through another country.
I‘m not sure what your usecase is but it sure aint mine. As a windows administrator for roughly 10 yrs now, I very much prefer linux. I‘ve had to set up tons of windows machines and a couple linux machines and working with linux is like one tenth of the hassle in every department.
Install? 1/10th of the time Upgrade 1/10th of time and errors
And so on.
Most importantly, you need to get very familiar with the powershell if you want to work at least somewhat efficient which is like delving into linux.
Like, you invest hours to understand the shell, in that time you understood linux.
I started with windows 95, later also delved in 3.0.
It has been 25 yrs on windows and most of the complexity is totally unnecessary. It‘s like if you buy a crm for your company. They are naturally grown to benefit customers and not designed well. That is how windows works imo. They kind if need a big refactor.
I think I get your point but from a larger perspective, Lemmy (amongst several others) is just a means to an end:
Free the internet of corporate control.
A steep goal but a worthy one if you ask me.
So I say make it grow as big as possible even if that means it is not as intimate as it is right now.
In a large federated place, there will be infinite amounts of smaller/niche hosts to migrate to.
The idea imo is that we need to focus on our goal here: stop the infinite brainwashing happening through mobile devices.
Feel free to disagree. Its just how I see it. Have a good one.

Not a bad tipp for individuals. Won’t solve the problem though. The few individuals who actually go through with this dont make a dent while children and their parents will gobble up this stuff because marketing. We need policy for shit like this.
