I, uh, definitely would have worded this with more care, but if anyone believes their side is somehow immune to corporate interests funding or manipulating drama and outrage? It’s dumb to think that the rich sociopaths would uniquely mess with one political side while leaving another completely alone.
Nothing to do with any side being right, wrong, better, or worse. Everything to do with rish assholes being rich assholes.
For #1, it absolutely is possible, but the technique has changed over time. You pretty much have to look it up every time, and check older methods until you find the way that works with the version you’re using. Last I checked you needed to disconnect any NICs, then hit one of the F keys during setup to get to the command prompt, then put in a specific command, then reboot into setup again. Been years though.
For #2, Command Prompt doesn’t because it’s still the same shit it was from the 90s. They have an open source program called Windows Terminal that supports tabs, multiple environments, most of the nice stuff you’d expect from a good Linux Terminal, but they don’t include it by default so you have to install it yourself.
#3 and #4 are pure bullshit. 1 and 2 are as well, but at least they have reasonably reachable workarounds.
How can purity go above 100? Is this concentrated cocaine? Supposed to water it down first or something?
For what it’s worth, they’re referred to as directories by command prompt and PowerShell (effectively the new Windows command prompt) tools as Windows as well.
Image is gone.
You’re telling me the Spider Sense doesn’t go off for pee getting on yourself?
I’m more than OK with weird. I love weird. I’m even ok with strong political opinions that I don’t always agree with. I’m fine with Lemmy staying small in the hopes it never ends up becoming an eternal September situation.
Those aren’t the issue.The problem is the violent rhetoric combined with the intense and constant bad-jacketing. Constant jumping to bad conclusions about other users and arguing against those straw men instead of trying for good faith.
At least you only jumped to the conclusion that I wanted Lemmy to stop being weird and grow unsustainably popular. I was honestly expecting someone to call me a corporate stooge or that I’m just a butthurt MAGA chud upset that Lemmy leans left-wing, then tell me to kill myself.
And the statement that it wasn’t encrypted, just compressed, is an entirely antagonistic reframing.
There were multiple block lists. Some right in the open, and one that was stored as a monolithic .dat (I assume the one he called “compressed”).
The end result is that the second list was obfuscated from not only end-users, but also “admins” hosting it, and developers attempting to work on the project.
The compression decision only holds if all of the filter lists were compressed and this decision was clearly documented.
Plus the circumstantial evidence that the “enable toxic mode” option did not in fact disable the filtering that relied on the .dat file.
I can’t even say that I’m in theory against his openly stated goals of making the fediverse more approachable to normies. But this is not the way to implement it, and it’s not the way to react when called out about it.
Eh, besides a handful of specific subs that didn’t take good root here, I don’t miss it.
Yeah, seconding the other person. At least give them 11 LTSC. And instead of worrying about activation, just use MASgrave to activate it and they’re golden. It’s a real activation as far as MS is concerned.
I’d have to guess it’s something weird with how they’re using web fonts or something. Looks fine on my end.
It was fun for what it was, an overly serious and overly detailed “grimdark” setting based on an old TV show meant to sell toys, with a generous heaping of campiness on top. It’s entertaining garbage, and it mostly “knows its place” as such, besides one single attempt at a serious scene when the king of eternia dies.
It has a scene set to “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes, explicitly referencing the “magical secret powers” meme video of old. It has a short sequence with gym bro Skeletor and HR lady Skeletor. It’s a fun campy action comedy with surprisingly high budget and good effects.
I mean, we can think both are inaccurate and that it also doesn’t really matter, right?
Think of it this way: Should it have propagated as content at all?
I mean, people do be making faces like that, and have long before wojak. Only natural that they’ll be recreated in drawings.
As far as I know, blocks on Lemmy are one sided. As on, you don’t see stuff from who you blocked, but they can still see your stuff. I’ve definitely gotten comment replies from people I blocked ages ago, I just see it as blocked as long as I’m logged in.

As far as security goes, you’d only be as exposed as any Minecraft server is. That is to say, not much.
Controlled opposition anyone? Reminds me of some of the anecdotal shit that happened around Occupy Wall Street
