I wouldn’t actually roll through with a completely blank phone/laptop, fill it with a bunch of fake but innocuous data first

I have questions, like uh did you ever…ya know…😅

I upvoted, but have serious qualms with Captain Holt being even tangently associated with orange dishrag 😤

Oof you’re going to have a real “fun” time at the border explaining yours lmao

The lemmy.ml instance not being treated the same as the rest of the Triad in regards to defederation

Some highlights from the link:

"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And a long list of bans/censorship and allowing the proliferation of known propaganda and misinformation outlets clearly demonstrating use of their instance and recognition to force a political narrative

LMAO me trying to post a Linux article in !linux@programming.dev is always a 50/50 on if you got to it first 😂

Not really, all OC content gets proper attribution or shows in the crosspost links section/menu. If I missed one, lmk, I am after all human and mistakes happen

Context:

Why am I cross-posting .ml?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Every keyless vehicle I’ve driven has had a failsafe, usually something along the lines of starting the car by pushing the start button with the top of the FOB and it’ll temporarily be powered enough to read whatever security codes it needs

Some brands have a hidden manual key inside the FOB that you could use

Lol, I’ve been wanting to tear down my old laptops down to the board and run them “bare” in my rack as some sort of cluster lmao

I’m not sure for all use cases, I can confidently say that if you depend on networking features of X or something like xrdp (Like me lol) then that’s going to be a solid NO

But if not, then maybe?

I have a six-month notice period. I’ve been relieved of my duties, but I am still officially an employee until the end of November. I’m also entitled to three months of severance pay after my notice."

How nice to have a government that actually decently regulates business, I need to move to Denmark :(

I think there might have been a misunderstanding, I’m not saying it should exist or that it’s good, at all.

Just that you could still buy a new car and then sever the cellular antennas, then the collected data won’t be able to actually leave the vehicle. But, doing so might break any subscription-based features, if present, because subscription means it’ll need to phone home periodically

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ it was mostly for others.

But on a technical note, subscriber count is an almost useless metric on Lemmy. There are a LOT of dead accounts.

A far better metric is MAUs, which .ml linux ranks 29th

New maybe, but it still needs to get that data out somehow, a little clippy clip to the internal antennas would probably do the trick lmao (as long as it’s not with a subscription feature, that might need to periodically phone home)

Ugh, don’t remind me, I get annoyed whenever I see them in the checkout lane.

Yes we actually still have them, but we have them in the most insulting way, basically one half of the shell is a candy part and the other is the toy and each half is separate by its own film covering.

I bet it was because one kid in the 80s or some shit was in some freak accident or something and the Pearl Clutchers of America™ rode in on their high horse to protect everyone lol

Yea, they basically already self isolate sooo it’d just be another Tuesday for them lmao

LMAO, f keys, when I switched I instantly fell in love.

• No more digging for keys
• No more fumbling
• Much easier to unlock with full hands
• Really easy to leave the car running and lock it from the outside
• The key can be ANYWHERE in the car e.g. gym bag

When it comes to cars, half the time I swear the complaints are just old car heads who just hate those “new fangled features”. Like the need for “manual” transmissions because automatic sucks, automatic transmissions haven’t sucked for a long while now. Initially it did, but it’s quite refined now.

Fuck the subscriptions though, I want the “fancy electronic features” just sans subscriptions and data collection

Lol no worries! Oof yea a wedding will do that lol, exciting news though!

YES YES YES NEW KONSI
