To be fair, this is how almost every social media site works. If you really need private comms away from all prying eyes, it'd be better to exchange email/pgp, matrix, or xmpp details through an ostensibly "private" message (i.e not a comment) here (or wherever) and do your super secret stuff there. That of course isn't perfect as they can save the logs and all so if they're compromised at any point it is possible to be an issue, but whaddayagonnado. Depends on your threat model anyway.

It's also possible that you can use pgp here (though that also lacks forward secrecy), but I haven't tested it. You'd likely have to use three of these ` to indicate code for it to format correctly though.

Still though, such is life for social media, assume nothing is private unless you make it so, and even then hope that stays uncracked.

I make plymouth do the verbose mode because it's cool and hacker-y. Also I like when it says "failed" and I know what failed. For a few weeks I kept having to manually start firewalld and I never would have known otherwise, update seems to have fixed that though.

Tbf, I really only have experience with fedora and thus systemd, so, I like it but I "don't know what I'm missing" in a sense.

I hear this one too and honestly, it does negatively effect them, they just don't see it because it feels like it's always been there. But give them ad-block for a week and then take it away...

Tbf if the folders were full of files that said "fuck you [Private] assholes" I'd laugh really hard. People should share and reshare, yes, and I do myself, but auto-banning people who are just starting out or making people beg for your [Privates] is for sure more lame than evading said assholes out of spite. At least that is understandable to me, there's a human element of pettiness to it that speaks to me, whereas the albeit similarly human trait of lording over your stuff and controlling access neurotically resonates less so, since they're not physical items.

Been a few for me, there was also the meme about his mommy pulling him out of some fight, and the shirtless one about him being a fat drunk. I just so can't bring myself to give a shit about him, personally I don't get the obsession.

Foremost*

"These are not said by the employees, because of the power dynamic where if they say anything I could and would get them fired out of pure pettyness, so they just silently hope I die in a car crash on the way home."

Ftfy.

With all that said, until things change, for sake of the underpaid employees, please tip just know you don't have too. If they treat you kindly and respectfully, tip, if not, smallest tip possible.

A'ight, that's cool at least as long as you tip in the current system but push for change, no prob there. But make no mistake the only reason the employee doesn't say anything is the power dynamic, they're thinkin' it!

He's suggesting "fuck the worker, it isn't my problem if they can't pay rent, they should learn to code." And somehow that will make the business owner pay them a fair wage and not replace them with a machine or a 16yo kid.

Same, can't switch off Subbed/Active(or hot idr).

Pee is stored in the gooch, duh. The balls thing is a meme.

Yeah that is annoying as hell. Like I get it if it's just like "my files are private, I'll open them if you have shares" but that whole "I need X album FLAC and a $50 baskin robbins gift card and then I might share with you" shit is the lamest thing I've ever seen.

Hell half the time I try to post on Jerboa, the app crashes but the comment still posts. Who knows lol.

...all communities named "piracy" are not the same, the full community name technically includes the instance, they are each their own "subreddit." You could subscribe to all of them if you wish, or to just "the largest one," but you can think of them as say "lemmyworldpiracy" and "beehawpiracy" and so on, they are just different communities.

It'd be like if two separate 15yo kids ran a fan page for their favorite anime character and expecting them to be identical simply because they are both about Goku, they're just different "sites" by different people, they just aren't the same thing simply because they're about the same topic.

As long as you know your supposed "goal" of "helping" isn't accomplished and that server now hates you, and the owner you're opposing got his share and doesn't even know you exist, do what you wish I suppose.

And that'll only hurt the poor employee's efforts to pay rent this month. The employer could care less, and sure you may make them mad enough that you're the last straw and they quit, but I'd be hard pressed to think you're magnanimous for it.

All the classics of course, but to go for a lesser mentioned one: Frankenfish.

Thanks for the info!

It's definitely still active, Praise "Bob". Idk about the dependancies though.

You want sewage? You sign up for sewage. Everybody who does, has a week assigned where they must do the necessary maintainance for that utility.

So I'm supposed to learn everything about sewer maintinence before this week, or are we throwing untrained people at critical infrastructure simply because they want to use it? And what then if I also want food, transportation, a computer, cat food, smokeables, drinkables, shelter, etc? Do I have to become an expert in all of those things too and work in those to get food, shelter, etc? Have to churn butter for a week if I want access to the butter store, and make bread for a week to get access to the bread lines, then I can make toast?

Personally I'd prefer if there was some way to make what I make or do what I do, exchange those items or services for some thing with an agreed upon value, which I can in turn take to the store and trade for bread and butter.

Mmmmmm my torrents say otherwise. Can't stop me! Shit like this is why I torrent unless you've got tapes or wax for me.

(This message was brought to you bt Piracy.)

I think I will soon, thanks for the pep talk lol, I legit did need it! I think that even if the process is a little tough, it's possible that the product brings me Slack. Hell maybe I'll like the process too, who knows, learning can bring Slack sometimes too!

"Stuff" should be a compression tool, you tar it, then gz it, then stuff it down even further into tar.gz.stuff

I actually am interested partly because of their history, the creator is of the same religion as I am and his creation was announced in like '94 on the old Hour Of Slack radio show affiliated with said religion. In fact, Slackware is a direct nod to our concept of Slack, and there's even pics of our guru J. R. "Bob" Dobbs on the slackware site in the banners section. I know it isn't dead because 15 came out earlier this year (or was it late last year?) so they must be active and not dead, just hard to find lol.

Thanks for the advice, I'll maybe try it on an old asus I use mainly for booting tails on soon. That's the only device I have with windows for emergencies and nothing I have is powerful enough to run VMs I don't think, but tbh that windows install barely works and I haven't needed it in two years, so "fuck it," right?

How hard is it? I really want to try Slackware one day but I'm not the most adept at linux yet. Really only have experience with Fedora, Tails, Puppy, and antix so far.

Hard to find people to ask about it, as you said because of the smaller userbase. I did look yesterday though and there are some youtube videos on slackware 15 set up, so I may be ok with those. Still kinda nervous lol.

Fedora for me, what I started on. Want to try Slackware though.

Fair, the community is usually the one to help with that, when I did research before installing they told me that non free drivers like nvidia or broadcom would present an additional challenge and told me how to fix it, so I guess I knew going in and didn't consider people not doing that first.

Haha only you can make that decision, it's a 70's porn parody of Flash Gordon, there is sex and nudity but it's honestly pretty tame compared to today's porn. It's more silly than anything, silly with boobies.

Not streaming, torrented it. I think it's on Soulseek but I can't check rn.

I wish I could help, as I actually need a way to do this if possible as well.

I assume though that this may be more of a job for the terminal than for nautilus, though I don't know how to do that either. Probably a for loop, which I am still working on understanding how to construct my own unfortunately, I'm still kind of new to all that.

A cross between gerbil and boa constrictor.

No I don't mean "food." Jerboa.

Brave Little Toaster was such a fucking banger.

And fuck the IOT bullshit!

Great post, saved for future use. I'd say myself that while Fedora may not be aimed at beginners, it is pretty good for beginners nonetheless. It's what I started on (after dipping my toes in Tails, which also has it's use cases but more importantly here demystified linux for me and made me comfortable with it. Then windows pissed me off one last time and the rest is history.)

The fedora community in my experience has been very helpful, though that was reddit, so we shall see what the future holds.

My masto admin still is free to ban people he doesn't like from his server of course, he just would rather we be able to curate our own feeds, and I'm sure curates his own just the same as we do. He didn't abdicate the throne I suppose by the nature of being the server owner, and our server is private (exclusive to those in a particular club,) I guess he's just a benevolent dictator. Still though, I like his approach.

Yes, just venting my personal grievances with the reacionary culture of the fedi at large. I think the fediverse would be perfect if most of the moderation (regarding cultivating your feed and blocking instances, communities, and users) was placed on the individual, barring outright illegal content like CP, revenge porn, or beastiality which should of course be nuked from orbit and are all actually illegal.

I'd like to see the culture go not from dictator (reddit) to smaller dictators (lemmy), but from dictator (reddit) to anarchism (lemmy, but with more community decision making for themselves as an individual rather than The Council of Beehaw and The Council of Lemmy.world deciding all their peasants are at war with each other.)

Thanks for the heads up, I was worried for a second especially with the recent FedoraFiasco.

This is the way imo. I'd personally like to see the culture of the fedi shift more towards self-moderation by users, let the users decide for themselves what individuals, communities, or servers they want or don't want to see.

Yes, this would mean that you'd be responsible for thinking for yourself, but imo that added slight burden is worth the freedom that is supposedly the reason the fedi exists.

My masto server does this (beyond who defederated us because we don't wholesale block the same people they block) and it works just fine for me, I just banned the Nazi instance (cause duh), the wolf-gender instance (it's all they talk about and I'm just not interested, I'm sure they're fine people), the Loli-art instance (cause duh), and the futa-bot (it's spam, a lot of it, and I'm not into futa), and I'm gtg, just wish the reactionary instances that I'd be fine with weren't so cliquey as to ban my instance for allowing it's users to think for themselves, but c'est la vie.

This works 100%.

XMPP (with omemeo) is the classic (and also what FB messenger uses behind the scenes, without omemo), Matrix is the new kid on the block taking over. Both are decentralized sorta like the fediverse (but separate from said fediverse.)

Used to use Signal, but they're removing SMS support so everyone might as well switch to matrix. Wickr was bought by amazon (and they say they won't ruin it, riiiight), so that's out. Idk enough about briar or session, and telegram isn't as secure as people seem to think.

Flesh Gordon.

No that isn't a typo.

Yes it is exactly what you think.

Yes it is hilariously bad.

I've been seeing stuff about this but I don't quite understand, what does this mean for Fedora? Do I need to switch too?
