Yep, straight from Macarena to Tubthumping and nobody even noticed.

I’m still waiting for .rar so I can buy unregistered.rar, which is the way it’s meant to be.

Because it’s no longer 1996 and there are domains beyond ccTLDs and com/net/org?

He looks like he’s either going to tell the cops they’re so fired, or he’s shit himself.

If you want to keep up with trending topics, find news outlets you believe provide you the proper coverage of what you’re after, and just follow the RSS feeds instead.

Mastodon/Lemmy/Reddit/Facebook/Twitter are there for people to post hot takes on the news, not just share the news. RSS is the way to go if the news is what you’re after, and not people commenting on the news.

Goons are responsible for the destruction of so many good things on the internet. Best $10 I’ve ever spent.

Thunderbird doesn’t understand aliases by default (apple’s mail apps on MacOS and iOS do). You’d need to add the alias under Account Settings -> Manage Identities for each alias (which is any custom email domain accounts you add, assuming you want to send mail as that user). There is only one account: the iCloud login. Everything else is treated as an alias, and doesn’t create its own inbox - everything goes into the singular inbox.

As the other posts said, email won’t migrate automatically. The easy way to do it, though, is setup your old email and the iCloud email in email and just drag and drop your email from the old email to your new iCloud one.

For #3, you need to log in to your iCloud account, head to the profile and security options, and make an application password.

Thunderbird will find all the appropriate settings once you provide your main iCloud email, and you just need to use the application password and everything will just work.

That’s a misquote: it’s “There is no ethical consumption under capitalism”. It’s basically saying that you, as a consumer, cannot legitimately make ethical decisions when buying, because the entire system is built on being exploitative, and thus any decision you make cannot be ethical because the choices you have are already the result of exploitation by the time you’re making the decision.

A good example is the “going green” fad: it does not matter which consumption choices you make, because your choices are effectively irrelevant. You spend a little bit more money for the “green” product, and that money will go directly to megacorporations that are exploiting and polluting on a scale that so outstrips your ability to combat it. Thus, your “more ethical” choice did absolutely nothing but fund the exact same polluters and environmental exploiters as if you had not made the “green” choice in the first place.

I killed all delivery nonsense a while ago. It was like 4 fees plus a demand for a tip on top of inflated prices; go to the restaurant and pay $15 or pay DoorDash $35 for the same shit? Fuck that, I’ll drive and pick my own damn food up.

And bonus, if half of it gets eaten in the car - I mean “wasn’t given to me by the restaurant”, sorry - at least I’m the one who ate the damn thing.

I’m going to disagree with the OCLP people: it’s a fine project, but it’s absolutely horrible to deal with from an end-user perspective because they’ll update something without realizing it’s going to break something, and now you have to deal with someone’s computer not working and get to maintain it.

If you can move to Linux, and she’s happy with that, then great. Though you’d probably want normal Fedora, and not Asahi since it’s not a M1/M2-based Mac.

But it sounds like she wants MacOS and, unless you want to fiddle with something that’s finicky, failure-prone, and not guaranteed to work in the future, just go buy a used/refurbished M1 for like $600, and then not worry about it for the next 5-10 years.

I kinda have two answers to this:

1. Not yet,

2. It was more an intent to show that they’re not some shining defender of the ad-free private internet, who would never take action to defend a potential future revenue stream if they thought it might be profitable later.

Remember everyone, corporations are not your friends, your buddy, your pal, or even slightly gives a shit about you beyond how much money they can extract from your wallet and anything that’s in the way of them doing so they’ll work around, stomp on, and kill by any means necessary.

Apple will follow suit: don’t be taken in by the ‘we love our customers’ nonsense they like to present. They make billions in selling ads too, they just do it a little more quietly than Google.

The only comment I’d add here is that you should make sure you have a real domain, that you’ve paid actual money to, when setting this up. ActivityPub assumes the domain is immutable, and the free dynamic domain names you can get (or free TLDs like, say, .ml was) are a bad choice. Spend the $10 or whatever, because if something happens to your domain name, you cannot just update it in the database and fix federation: it completely breaks everything in a way that’s not repairable.

The closest thing you’re likely to get is a black and white Brother laser.

It’s as open as a printer is likely to ever be in terms of driver support, the availability of parts is reasonable, and you plug the thing in via USB and then forget it exists until you need to print something.

I have a 2300D I’ve had for most of a decade now and the only thing I’ve had to do is put paper in it.

Wow, I’m shocked that they’re going to sell the biometric data to anyone who wants it. Well, not that shocked. Actually, not shocked at all.

Just to be pedantic, it’s not pull, it’s push: the data is POSTed from the server that hosts the community.

Right now loading a page makes a bunch of API queries to pull all the related data for the posts, votes, sidebar info, and so on AND the API is very untuned and sending way more data than the WebUI/a client needs to actually generate a page: hence my ‘it’s less efficient’ comment, though this is certainly something that can be tweaked to improve performance between the back and frontends.

I will, however, admit that this is only true if someone is actually reading the content they’re subscribed to. The ‘subscribe to everything’ scripts turn this math on its head because now you are using resources to gather data you don’t care about.

ActivityPub isn’t anything more than JSON over HTTP(s); there’s no reason at all that you couldn’t simply tunnel all the traffic using hidden services over Tor using nothing more than the Tor daemon to create a hidden service and the proxy functionality to route all outbound HTTP traffic over Tor.

ActivityPub is not a distributed network: you don’t have communications between servers in a mesh, the server that owns a community(ex. fediverse@lemmy.world) pushes out JSON data to any subscribers.

Small servers won’t talk directly to each other, unless they’re subscribed to communities on each other so having a lot of small servers doesn’t actively impact the load on each other, but only on the larger servers that have the more active communities.

And, even then, the JSON requests are going to be a lower impact than a user actively browsing the site, though probably only marginally and maybe not in all cases.

The windows version isn’t released yet; the Mac version is.

Allegedly Windows is by end of year, but they’re not really being exact with a date.
