Wow, this summary is scathing

I’ve gotta hop as well; I’m trying to find the biggest/most mainstream instance that hasn’t blocked or defederated from the piracy communities. Will have to check this list and find one when I get a chance.

And if you were to actually create an innovative or competing product, Google would just buy you out like Android, Waze, Nest, etc

A tomato straight from the vine is basically candy 🍅🤤

Cloudflare DDos protection isn’t a silver bullet; the attacks are distributed and come from shifting source IPs, and are sophisticated in that they exploit resource intensive queries specifically designed to overload a Lemmy instance. If lemmy.world were to pivot to some other instance, who’s to say the culprits wouldn’t just resume their efforts pointed at the new location? There are theories these may be carried out by the recently-defederated fringe hate communities

Really? Dang, that’s a bummer. I haven’t rewatched it since it originally aired but at the time I thought it was superb.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a down-to-earth and insightful comment! I totally agree with each of your points. Same reason I would never shop at Walmart/Sam’s Club, get takeout from Chic fil a, drive a Tesla, sleep on a MyPillow, etc.

If u disagree with the term neoliberalism that’s fine but it’s a widespread and useful term that exists in common usage regardless as to what u think of it. If u haven’t read its definition I recommend u check it out! ☺️

Given the context Interdimemsionalmeme provides in their comment, I think neoliberal makes perfect sense. Why bring another human being into a dying world where their labor will be exploited until they die?

I had no prior experiences with any Barbie-related products or media (adult cis white male in the US) and wasn’t sure whether I’d enjoy it at all. After seeing it, i honestly think there’s something for everyone in this movie. It’s exceptionally well-written (very wry) and makes solid points about the current state of patriarchy in our society. It’s really well-done. Feel free to wait for it to come out on streaming, but then I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

Ooh sweet thnx 4 the tip - will try this later! I was trying via the web dashboard which I’m pretty sure requires a subscription

This is true, but it’s also pretty much the only “shortcoming” of the OS

That doesn’t surprise me since it was apparently released straight to DVD. Still might watch it with friends after a few brewskis MST3000-style

Interesting I never knew of “American Psycho 2”. I might have to give it a watch just for the lulz since it has Mila Kunis and Shatner in it.

I’m running netdata on each of my servers and it has every feature I need. If u choose netdata, make sure not to install the nightly builds since they get updated all the time and sometimes break features. One annoying thing with netdata is you have to pay a subscription for the option to disable individual alert types. I have a nearly full hard drive and there’s an alert for that which won’t go away. Same thing for temporary inbound packet drops which seems to happen everytime one particular Plex user forcibly transcodes content (they’re old and remote and won’t change their Plex client settings 😡). Each error they send you an email.

And I’m finding myself actually posting comments instead of drafting and deleting them like I did on Reddit for the last 6-7 years. The comment threads really deteriorated on Reddit over the last decade

Agreed. I personally struggle with the word “intentionally,” however. Meta was aware of the negative side effects of their content algorithms far before the recent Myanmar violence and did nothing to remedy it. There were internal reports about teen suicide and eating disorders several years prior that they tried to hush up, and of course the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal which revealed the extent to which Facebook was supplying third parties with user info that was directly responsible for increased partisanship in the 2016 & 2020 election cycles, and probably (imo) they share some blame for recent hate crimes in the US accordingly. And now we know they definitively hold blame for increased violence in Myanmar. If they knew the effect their platform had and did nothing about it, that to me seems intentional. Just my 2¢

To maintain the analogy - what if the radio equipment were somehow designed to provide stronger, more far-reaching frequencies if the DJs were broadcasting hate speech and military commands, but shorter, weaker frequencies when DJs discussed crimes against humanity? Facebook isn’t a truly open platform, it’s algorithms dictate what users see and what goes viral.

I use PiVPN (wireguard protocol) on the same pi I use for pihole exactly like this. Port isn’t forwarded, but I can split tunnel DNS for adblocking on the go and still ssh to my other server
