And twitter. And mastodon. And lemmy ffs, we’re not immune. (I’m doing it right now, in fact.)

Art doesn’t need to know this answer that badly. This fucking guy has taken

• dilaudid
• morphine
• opium
• nitrous
• pcp
• meth
• lighter fluid, by huffing
• cough syrup at a dose of “two bottles”

I don’t even know what a few of these things are, and I’m not going to look up and see how crazy the doses on everything else are, but based on the ones I do know I can only conclude that this guy is trying to kill himself.

And he’s succeeding, from the sound of it.

That’s why they call me Dollar Bill. Because I have one.

I’m confused why backups would even matter. Are the servers physically hosted in Mali and the government seized them?

Because if the government just invalidated the domain, that’s completely different. In that case a server device with everything on it still exists in the same place it always did, it’s just DNS that has changed.

(And yes, I understand that losing the domain name and the certs attached to it would be a big deal, but there’s no data loss, hence no need to pull from backups.)

This is exactly how I’m tryna be (I live alone in my house with my dog and my $0.003M fortune)

I think it’s very much like regular ice cream, but a flavor an octopus would eat.

Crab, maybe.

The Baby War of 2020 touched all aspects of our lives.

You went as cringe?

If your children would just adopt a can-do attitude while they’re mining, they’d be getting promotions

I know you mean like drinking and dancing, but in my head I’m like “yeah my chess club DESERVES a nice building”

You don’t have to put “Nobody:” before your joke, you can just say your joke.

That’s pretty cool.

I’m truly not being a negative nancy but the last time I checked reddit had 400M user accounts. We should be comparing active user numbers, but either way, this is a drop in the bucket and reddit rightly does not consider Lemmy a threat to its supremacy at this point.

We’re doing great though! Good trajectory.

The ferris wheel was QA’d to the point that even a meth-head could set it up safely.

you edited it so it’s less funny, which, you know, why even bother at that point. Why would you intentionally make a meme less funny.

It says “Quick question: what the fuck”

I hope the analogy doesn’t hold because the next bit after this is they wander the desert for 40 years.

YSK that most of these have an expiration date (and should have an expiration date). Checking the box says trust this device that I’m currently using, for a while, thus:

• if you use another device to log in (e.g. switch from mobile to desktop browser), you will need to do it again, because security is tied to your ownership of the device, and
• if you continue to use the same device for more than–usually–a month, you’ll be asked again because there’s a possibility your device got stolen or compromised in the meantime.

In short, most of the time you’ll have to do this once a month, or more if you’re using more than one device, and that’s nominally to protect you.

However, yes, a significant portion of these are just implemented by dummies, and don’t work.

The particularly annoying ones for me are the ones on bill pay sites. If they work for a month, that doesn’t help me. I only pay my bills once a month.

First of all, it would never be applied to all of Lemmy, that wouldn’t make sense and isn’t really possible considering how federation works.

Second, automoderation is a necessary tool to deal with a flood of users on many subreddits on reddit and by extension, it soon will be necessary on Lemmy communities as well. Each community has to make its own decisions about how best to moderate, but without automated tools they’re just going to drown. The net effect then would either be to shut down the community or allow the community to exist with no moderation at all.

You do. not. want communities here with no moderation at all.

Encourage communities to use tools that are sane and give you options for interacting with the community, and which don’t harshly penalize you for small issues with your posts, but what you are de facto asking for in this post is chaos for any large community.

It’s not that it was the issue. It probably wasn’t, although we’ll never know.

It paints a picture. A bigger picture of carelessness, corner cutting, rushing, and absolute indifference to the lives that depend on this company making its sub work.

And in a larger sense, it paints a picture of the way the wealthy run every aspect of the world now: carelessness, corner cutting, rushing, and absolute indifference to human lives.
