12·1 day agoIn the 2000s I thought that due to more and more people being on the internet, stories like this would be very common in the future, not just for the government, but private entities too.
In reality: Most things that happen at most workplaces are not interesting enough to leak, and most people do not want to risk their careers for something like this. So it’s still relatively rare.
You could try creating an account on kbin/mbin instead of lemmy, my understanding is that that gives you the “threadiverse” and the microblogging fediverse on one platform, though I have not tried it yet.
On Lemmy you can only follow communities, not individuals.

5·2 days agoI always find it funny when I read a lemmy thread that’s being posted in by microbloggers who just start all replies with @ followed by usernames of people they’re replying to.
They’re a lot younger than me too… but I was on the Internet, including in some mostly-adult communities, at 16 too (not so much at 13). Many of my formative experiences took place there and so I see absolutely nothing wrong with what they’re doing.
no, I’m very certain I’ve never seen one, this article certainly doesn’t have one

you can sort !casualconversation@lemm.ee by “new comments”
Last decade it was “destroyed”

I’m here, I don’t answer to anywhere near all questions I see though.
No, you can’t go to real court. You’re actually kinda getting at something more serious: This is true for all crimes. Especially also drug crimes. That is why the prohibition of drugs causes violent crime: the only way to enforce contracts over illegal drugs is through violence.
If there were a universal answer to this, there wouldn’t be any others.
I myself currently use Debian (testing), have for some years now, but I have used other distros in the past too.
1·6 days agohonestly any that wants to leave (by a democratic referendum) and doesn’t cause any exclaves or enclaves to exist
ideally donations like lots of other FOSS projects
Wait, what? Which parts of this are satire now? I read the Onion piece that Global Tetrahedron was purchasing InfoWars, but this is a Guardian story saying The Onion is purchasing it? I’m a bit confused.
