That’s a pretty dumb argument, this was a targeted killing. You’d be supportive of killing a major terrorist right? Most would, because the terrorist is evil and kills thousands of Innocents… Well it’s literally no different here. They can be against murder and yet still support killing a terrorist, which is what a Healthcare CEO is.

If the person you’re replying to was a health insurance CEO I would be extremely supportive of that.

I don’t get this meme template

You say that but they literally went to court against a journalist claiming they “hacked” them because the journalist simply referenced their html code that is visible from pressing F12.

Luckily I think the case was dismissed but it was really close and was extremely problematic to begin with.

Seems like the courts haven’t caught on, but most people migrated to yt-dlp.

I do wish they rebranded the project to get rid of YouTube from the name. It can do so much more and is insanely powerful. It should be advertised as a generic video extractor. Don’t know if it’d help legal issues though, despite them not actually breaking laws.

As much as I wish this were true, this is in a bubble where Windows isn’t already preinstalled on everything.

I use Fedora and I don’t understand this

I just want to pound my coffee and get to work. I finally gravitated to Fedora because it’s clean and just works. Too much setup on my Arch and Gentoo installs with way too much breakage. It’s fun to customize and tweak distros like those to an obsessive degree, until you actually need to get work done.

snap would be better then installing from manual archives, but it’s comparisons are actually to your distro’s package manager and flatpak.

I think the massive privacy benefits outweigh things like that, which should be documented properly anyways

Personally I’m in the camp that I want history to be lost. That’s part of the appeal to me. In fact my favorite feature in the fedi is Mastodon’s option to enable auto-deleting posts of a certain age.

Only content that is explicitly pinned or reaches a certain amount of interactions should be saved imo. Since that’s the stuff you’d actually want to preserve rather than the 99% of forgettable content, and it would also drastically cut down on file hosting.

Another thing is that a federation should only act as the exchange between users on ActivityPub. It should only cache relevant information and not be expected to store everything, like I wrote before. The user should be a portable account that is stored on a device. The federation server would sync your account between your devices, but not store it. You send your content to the federation, and then the federation sends it out into the world where they choose to do what they want with it. The federation shouldn’t hoard it indefinitely.

Also this makes sense from a privacy perspective. If you care about privacy, why would you also want all your data indefinitely stored? Unless certain things are relevant and explicitly kept, it should be expected to expire and be lost by default. Where did we get this expectation that data should be stored forever? Also you expect it to be stored forever and not be trained on by AI?

This comment for example, after about a week or two most of the visibility and interaction of it will drop to zero. At that point, this comment should expire and no longer exist. I wrote this comment, it reached some people, and served it’s purpose and should expire. I’m not going to pretend like this comment is some kind of historic document that should be indefinitely preserved, nor do I expect or want it to be.

Why would you need to host this? Why not just have a client that does backups?

Glad to see it is built on top of the Solid protocol. Cuz I was going to say it sounded familiar!

“allowed too” 🙄

tcp

Should be a server setting, just like how some servers can choose to show combined votes or separate up/down votes.

So it basically failed the bus factor

Hopefully mbin becomes more resilient, or if Lemmy just gets some nice rewrites.
