These are good commandments. Nothing hateful about them

I saw a clip online of someone in Dublin showing a picture of 9/11 and people in NYC laughing

Flax_vert ,

It was pretty funny. Would have been better if the new yorkers responded with the potato famine.

Flax_vert ,

I see americans joke about it more than brits

Seriously? They made voting ID a council issue? Northern Ireland has had voting ID for a while and it's dead easy to get one, only thing I needed to pay was postage on a 2nd class stamp. Pretty good as well as it basically makes a free photographic ID available

Flax_vert ,

  1. You can get stuff mailed to a sheltered accomodation or homeless shelter

  2. You generally needed the polling card and an address to register to vote before this system, so I don't see how it makes a difference.

Flax_vert ,

Pretty silly for something literally used by the European Union and other European Governments. Am I right in thinking the German Government is one of those?

Flax_vert ,

Honestly I think a single user instance should be lightweight enough to run on a Raspi. Even having multiple. A lot of them don't need their own frontends either. Can just use an app

One Login: Towards a Single Fediverse Identity on ActivityPub ( thenewstack.io )

In response to Bray’s toot, Evan Prodromou — one of the creators of ActivityPub, who is currently writing an O’Reilly book about the protocol — noted that this “is also the argument for using the ActivityPub API.” He described the API as “an open, extensible API that can handle any kind of activity type — not...

What to be aware of before opening port 25 on a postfix Raspberry Pi?

I have a raspberry pi running postfix. I Realised unless I open port 25 I absolutely cannot receive emails (I have 587 open and can send but not receive them). However I heard there are scaries online which someone could potentially send emails from your server without consent. I believe as well my ISP doesn't block port 25. Is...

Flax_vert OP ,

I've got a domain

Flax_vert OP ,

How can I have reliable email that I can control, then?

Flax_vert OP ,

Thank you so much! It just tested it for me

Flax_vert OP ,

What do you mean reserve DNS?

Flax_vert OP ,

🤣

Flax_vert OP ,

too late.

The need for a Fedi Union.

tl;dr I propose a Fedi Union consisting of the developers of Phanpy, Pixelfed, Peertube, Lemmy, and PieFed. That will work as a way to fund all of the services collectively (with the option to still go to their individual patreons and fund them seperately) and as a way for them to communicate to help all the services be more...

Flax_vert ,

They already survived it lol, nobody even noticed it happening. Probably because to post here a threads user has to format a post in a specific way for it to even render here

Flax_vert ,

It's not any more toxic than Reddit honestly.

Flax_vert ,

What is gab ai?

Flax_vert ,

I agree, seems like what it is from this lol. Especially the GPT-4 mentions

Flax_vert ,

Was it to do with neopronouns?

Flax_vert ,

will we still have the tech to read it?

Probably, if VLC is still around.

Telnet still exists and you can still access a telnet server running on 40 year old hardware

Flax_vert ,

Probably the server room in a big company

Flax_vert ,

Other governments have done it, even the BBC have as well

Flax_vert ,

Hope a gov.uk one comes through someday

Flax_vert ,

The sooner they use the fediverse the better

Flax_vert ,

I own a guy and I like it

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

I've got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

Flax_vert ,

This is the best idea.

Flax_vert ,

That's just mad. Instances should have the free choice to choose. I am pro-threadseration

Flax_vert ,

It's not "very real". Because people already on Mastodon right now aren't going to suddenly switch to threads. We have nothing to lose.

Flax_vert ,

Isn't Snapchat terrible at security? Heard of someone who made a plane bombing joke in a private message and the airport wifi intercepted it and he got arrested

Flax_vert ,

Only thing you need to do to realise how bad they are is to play Chess against it. Vs using a chessbot from 30 years ago, it really shows.

Flax_vert ,

Why can't they just use a simple calendar app system where you book it off???? Who would use a large language model for that rubbish?

Flax_vert ,

Wasn't there something about CV's for job applications and the AI ended up figuring out that black people or women are less likely to get the job so adjusted accordingly? Or how in England during COVID, poorer schools got lower predicted grades while more upper schools got higher, even against the Teacher's grade, regardless of the work done

Flax_vert ,

Open fediverse and bad instances

Flax_vert ,

At least Hetzner is decent.

Flax_vert ,

I don't see people moving from Mastodon to threads

Flax_vert ,

Most people on Mastodon hate mainstream social media for a reason

Went to delete my account. Turns out I've not to worry.

Hi i am a complete noob who want to get into torrenting and piracy in general can people here help??

And before you say i have read the megathread atleast as much as i can because it feels too buzzwordy for me and i think it is more suitable with people with a little more experience than for litteral noobs also i want to leaen how to in android and not a pc and the megathread leans heavily into pc ....

Flax_vert ,

Glory to Ukraine!

Cry about it

Flax_vert ,

That means you can interact with your friends on threads without using their app and seeing their ads. It's a big win.

Flax_vert ,

Then we're back to ActivityPub as it is now. I hardly see Mastodon people jumping to threads. And governments might prefer having their own instance.

I'm sure the vast majority of people on Mastodon hate Meta enough to not jump ship. Why would you move from Mastodon to threads anyway? Instagram integration?

Flax_vert ,

I agree. The best thing we can do is take advantage of their federation by making a significant enough portion of their userbase on the fediverse, to the point that it relies on them. Many currently on the likes of Mastodon would probably rather die than use Threads.

The only real benefit I can see threads having over the rest of the fediverse is Instagram integration, which the convenience of that might be enough to have people prefer it enough to give them a market
