I’m complaining because voting is important.
The US and Great Britain genocided entire continents, using bourgeios democracy, IE the parliamentary / representative voting system you hold so dear. Its proven to be the safest shell for rule by a capitalist minority, with the added benefit of making people think they actually live in a functioning democracy, rather than a completely rigged system.
In the past 30 years or so, the PRC lifted more people out of poverty, than any other country in human history. This is probably the most significant acheivement in modern times, carried out by committed communists carrying out massive, nationwide poverty alleviation campaigns.
These sorts currently don’t work on the profile view; and common sorting for multiple types is one of the features upcoming in 1.0.0
Thx!

It would require too many server resources for lemmy instances to become video hosting services, but you can use torrents:
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html#images-and-video
Are you seeing your instance as a means to patiently persue a certain ideology rather than allowing free speech and open uninterupted and respectful discourse?
We have no obligation to platform pro-genocide, patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, or otherwise oppressive speech, and more, we have a moral obligation to silence those bigoted groups, deprive them of their right to speak, and prevent them from spreading their harmful views, and not only for the mental health of our users, of whom many are members of those targeted groups, but because we know that its the modus operandi of these white-supremacist/bigoted groups to set up nazi bars on social media platforms to spread their views, get people to associate and agree with them, and grow. The correct answer has always been, and remains, to deny them a platform.
If other servers, following the line of reddit and other US social media companies, want to platform those views to increase ragebait engagement and their user counts, there’s nothing we can do about that, but at least here we can think about the long-term mental health of our users, which is far more important than user counts.
Fediverse instances are like email servers, if they call something spam and don’t want to host it, then that’s their prerogative. Arguments for “free speech” do not require them to host what you want them to host.
We also don’t buy the liberal notion of “free speech”, and think that even if there was such a thing, liberal countries and spaces don’t actually practice it. Much like all liberal countries have a long history of banning anti-capitalist / anti-imperialist speech, organizing, and communist political parties, the instance you’re on also doesn’t adhere to “free and open speech”: they’ve blocked the most popular leftist instances in the fediverse (hexbear and lemmygrad), to shield their userbase from those views.
I don’t understand why we need this division, and though you decry it in your comment, through actions or inactions, communities and moderators on your instance are allowed to amplify this division.
We have a be respectful rule here, and we do enforce it with temp bans, however it is unavoidable that some people (especially when venturing outside of lemmy.ml), encounter extremely bigoted and pro-genocide takes, and that makes them understandably angry. Still, if you see people from our instance breaking that rule, then report it, and we’ll get to it when we can.
How come you seem to allow communities who are moderated by a single user who repeatedly bans people just because they don’t like what someone says in an instant?
To be instant banned for a few paragraphs. Then being name called by that mod, in a community without any rules, and then being banned with the reason ‘Zionist’ while I am just about 180º the opposite is not the way to persuade people like me.
I don’t know the circumstances, so you’d have to be more specific, linking examples. We made the modlog public, and its possible to link to every modded item to see what happened.
I listed the challenges, how hard it was to communicate, how I was past the point of all hope to see it ever improving. Then the person said to me: “Good. So what are you going to do about it?”
Despite ideological differences, and some loud users on other servers demanding more defederations, we actually have good relations with most other fediverse server admins and runners. We don’t make demands on each other, each server has full autonomy to take mod actions on both local and federated users, and that autonomy is respected.
is people making assumptions about other’s beliefs based soley on their instance of choice. It’s not helpful, it’s not generative, and it’s a waste of everyone’s time.
Spot on. Taking countries as an analogy for fediverse instances, we shouldn’t make all the citizens of those countries into an ideological monolith: there’s always a diversity of views, even if some views are more predominant than others because they’re encouraged from the top.
And above all we should not be alienating and unecessarily divisive to those who, with a little education and prodding in the right direction, will side with the majority of the world’s workers. Our job is to make allies, patiently educate, and create more caring people.
The concern is valid, but we should also look at these company’s interests in pushing passkeys, which first and foremost is avoiding all support and resources they have to dedicate to password resets and account hijacking, of which TOTP was the band-aid for, which they also push.
The software or hardware attestation is IMO a non-issue for most public sites. We have a precedent in TOTP, and they haven’t locked those down either to specific software, because they care more about adoption (to avoid the costs above) than controlling what software you use to validate.
If someone wants to say that these companies will turn on this attestation for passkeys in the future, and break a ton of logins and decrease adoption, then they should have a reason why they haven’t done so for TOTP.
Another point someone brought up in one of these posts: the remote attestation (IE locking your passkeyto a specific app or software) issue is highly unlikely to be used for public websites, because it would block / halt the adoption they’re trying to promote, and its against their interest. No website that I know of has done this for TOTP either.
They push TOTP and passkeys now because they want to avoid the costs and support around resolving hijacked accounts, and password phishers.
The use-case for remote attestation is a valid one also: say you have a really secure internal system that you want to lock down to only users of your specific passkey validator, and make sure its that specific app, unspoofed.
No probs
Thx, fixed it. It was a date issue.

Knitting, reading, gardening, at least one walk every day.
We got most of the tech from the jetsons ppl could envision in the early 1960s (video calls, smartphones, smart watches, smart homes), but still don’t have flying cars, cloud cities, robot maids, and moving sidewalks going everywhere.
Highly recommend reading Domenico Losurdo - Class struggle for more on this.
It gets into how there’s not just a single class struggle, i.e. working class versus bourgeoisie, but many different and related class struggles. Both Marx and Engels held this multivariate view of class struggle too, and it was only later that chauvinists, anti-feminists, and imperialists restricted its meaning to the workplace only.
Also the smaller OS’s (puppy linux, tailOS) that can run entirely in RAM are going to be fast when it comes to anything but disk reads.
Same. Cardboard box or round scratching pads are still getting used every day for months. Every other toy, a day or so max.
Pretty funny that both the hoover institute and MLs agree with this analysis of FDR’s new deal… with opposite value judgements of course.
Sakai even has a really good chapter on this in Settlers too.
