Tell me if I’m wrong, but federated systems don’t seem to be the best for privacy because you can’t ever delete all of the copies of your posts and comments?

    To be fair, this is how almost every social media site works. If you really need private comms away from all prying eyes, it'd be better to exchange email/pgp, matrix, or xmpp details through an ostensibly "private" message (i.e not a comment) here (or wherever) and do your super secret stuff there. That of course isn't perfect as they can save the logs and all so if they're compromised at any point it is possible to be an issue, but whaddayagonnado. Depends on your threat model anyway.

    It's also possible that you can use pgp here (though that also lacks forward secrecy), but I haven't tested it. You'd likely have to use three of these ` to indicate code for it to format correctly though.

    Still though, such is life for social media, assume nothing is private unless you make it so, and even then hope that stays uncracked.

    I make plymouth do the verbose mode because it's cool and hacker-y. Also I like when it says "failed" and I know what failed. For a few weeks I kept having to manually start firewalld and I never would have known otherwise, update seems to have fixed that though.

    Tbf, I really only have experience with fedora and thus systemd, so, I like it but I "don't know what I'm missing" in a sense.

    I hear this one too and honestly, it does negatively effect them, they just don't see it because it feels like it's always been there. But give them ad-block for a week and then take it away...

    Tbf if the folders were full of files that said "fuck you [Private] assholes" I'd laugh really hard. People should share and reshare, yes, and I do myself, but auto-banning people who are just starting out or making people beg for your [Privates] is for sure more lame than evading said assholes out of spite. At least that is understandable to me, there's a human element of pettiness to it that speaks to me, whereas the albeit similarly human trait of lording over your stuff and controlling access neurotically resonates less so, since they're not physical items.

    Been a few for me, there was also the meme about his mommy pulling him out of some fight, and the shirtless one about him being a fat drunk. I just so can't bring myself to give a shit about him, personally I don't get the obsession.

    "These are not said by the employees, because of the power dynamic where if they say anything I could and would get them fired out of pure pettyness, so they just silently hope I die in a car crash on the way home."

    Ftfy.

    With all that said, until things change, for sake of the underpaid employees, please tip just know you don't have too. If they treat you kindly and respectfully, tip, if not, smallest tip possible.

    A'ight, that's cool at least as long as you tip in the current system but push for change, no prob there. But make no mistake the only reason the employee doesn't say anything is the power dynamic, they're thinkin' it!

    He's suggesting "fuck the worker, it isn't my problem if they can't pay rent, they should learn to code." And somehow that will make the business owner pay them a fair wage and not replace them with a machine or a 16yo kid.

    Yeah that is annoying as hell. Like I get it if it's just like "my files are private, I'll open them if you have shares" but that whole "I need X album FLAC and a $50 baskin robbins gift card and then I might share with you" shit is the lamest thing I've ever seen.

  • lemmy.ml/c/piracy and lemmy.world/c/piracy do not show the same content. This a problem.

    ...all communities named "piracy" are not the same, the full community name technically includes the instance, they are each their own "subreddit." You could subscribe to all of them if you wish, or to just "the largest one," but you can think of them as say "lemmyworldpiracy" and "beehawpiracy" and so on, they are just different communities.

    It'd be like if two separate 15yo kids ran a fan page for their favorite anime character and expecting them to be identical simply because they are both about Goku, they're just different "sites" by different people, they just aren't the same thing simply because they're about the same topic.

    As long as you know your supposed "goal" of "helping" isn't accomplished and that server now hates you, and the owner you're opposing got his share and doesn't even know you exist, do what you wish I suppose.

    And that'll only hurt the poor employee's efforts to pay rent this month. The employer could care less, and sure you may make them mad enough that you're the last straw and they quit, but I'd be hard pressed to think you're magnanimous for it.

    You want sewage? You sign up for sewage. Everybody who does, has a week assigned where they must do the necessary maintainance for that utility.

    So I'm supposed to learn everything about sewer maintinence before this week, or are we throwing untrained people at critical infrastructure simply because they want to use it? And what then if I also want food, transportation, a computer, cat food, smokeables, drinkables, shelter, etc? Do I have to become an expert in all of those things too and work in those to get food, shelter, etc? Have to churn butter for a week if I want access to the butter store, and make bread for a week to get access to the bread lines, then I can make toast?

    Personally I'd prefer if there was some way to make what I make or do what I do, exchange those items or services for some thing with an agreed upon value, which I can in turn take to the store and trade for bread and butter.

  • Need reccomendations for distro. Old laptop from like '10 (shipped with windows 8, not even 8.1), touchscreen needed so no Mint unfortunately. No linux experience whatsoever beyond using tails and I know what the terminal is but have NO clue how to use it. Need a daily driver for light tasks (just gimp, handbrake, internet, qbittorrent, and libreoffice type stuff, no games), would prefer security and privacy, but idk if Whonix can run on my old machine and with my nonexistent linux exp idk if it is a good one for me yet, may need exp with something else first? Idk, y'all tell me! Was reccomended Fedora, has touch support and supposedly good for the light tasks and will run in my old laptop, but figured I'd ask what y'all think because you guys seem knowledgeable. It is my only computer besides my phone so I can't afford the time to fuck around lol.

    Whenever I open lemmur since android 12 it notifies me that lemmur pasted from my clipboard without my express permission. That is sketchy. Idk how I feel about using this with that in mind.
