ISPs already do that here in the states. The court case is to decide whether they should shut off access.

I don’t think Lemmy would count as social media but that said, you can easily create a dummy account that just, for example, posts pictures of moths or beans or bread or whatever.

It’s almost like old school Google front page.

Honestly this is the best suggestion especially if you can mount your windows partition read only. You get the benefits of Linux while still having access to your files.

For most folks, the biggest hurdle is getting compatible apps. Once you find the apps you need, moving over is just a backup and restore away.

I agree. This thread is for actual advice. rm -rf / belongs in a joke thread.

Yippie kayak other buckets!

Even remembering IP addresses isn’t a great because services can change IP addresses at any point.

As others have mentioned DNS, by its design, is decentralized…to a point. If you run your own DNS, you can’t be an authority to .com addresses for example. Even that sentence has caveats.

Generally speaking you can run your own DNS that uses root DNS servers. MPAA and others have attempted to get those servers to stop pirate domains from being resolvable but they’ve essentially said “fuck off”.

IMO, that’s going to be the last battleground, at which point pirating will have no choice but to move to tor and/or to I2P.

I’m a chezmoi user and I’ll be honest: as powerful as it is, it’s way too clunky to get right. I spend too much time configuring and then am too worried I’ll mess it up if I need to add or remove anything.

I’m going to give stow a try to see if it fits my workflow better.

trying not to poop

Why…were you trying not to poop? Or was this a meme I missed? I remember the beans.

Yeah, Lemmy had absolutely been great over the last year. 6-hour Top sorting is absolutely key here.

Is it a one-for-one replacement? No. There are a lot of communities that haven’t been able to come over effectively. But the main core communities have and it’s been fantastic.

There is a linear line from incel to alt-right neo-nazis. The ironic thing is that it happened before the rise of Nazi Germany and it’s happened again here in the US.

This is, unironically, what conservatives think.

¿Por que los dos?

It’s not about blocking porn.

It’s always about control. Conservatives want to control how you consume sexual content.

They are protected because they are migratory birds. You can get a license to kill them if they are constantly on your property.

Hard disagree.

They will provoke an attack if they even think you’re getting too close to their gooslings.

I’ve given them several meters and they still charged at me.

Our entire Internet, the backbone of all encryption, all runs on open source software.

It is more secure because people can see and audit the code.

Let me flip what you wrote:

Our military equipment already is vulnerable. We just don’t know how badly because it’s not open source.

Prove it’s secure by releasing the code.

I could only watch this show after Trump first left office. TV is meant to be an escape, not a documentary.

I want to watch the last season but I’m going to need to wait until after the revolution.

I implicitly trust FOSS more than closed source but because that trust has been earned through millions of FOSS projects.

On occasion, I will dive deep into a codebase especially if I have a bug and I think I can fix it.

You can’t do this with closed source or even source available code because there is no guarantee that the code you have is the code that’s been compiled.
