Okay rip I think the post I was using as a status check for hexbear was just deleted lmao, cuz yea now that I check others it’s all there
Thanks lmao

Oh awesome, so hexbear’s back fr then? Does that mean old hexbear posts will federate back onto other instances, or are those still gone?

Either way, glad to see you dudes back and thanks for the update!

The author of that essay (@dessalines@lemmy.ml) is one of the main devs of lemmy, so you’re asking in the right place lmao

I’m glad hexbear’s back, but I’m way out of the loop on this one. Re-federation? Like they were defederated? The most recent thing I know was them losing the domain, and I’ve honestly just been waiting for them to come back with a new one.

Can someone please summarize whatever went down for those of us who missed it?

Wow speak of the devil lmao

I woulda checked non-voyager UIs before bothering you with a bug report, but I appreciate you being this on top of things lol. Thanks for all your work on voyager!

It usually includes the link below the comment text as an attachment, as well as highlighting, but it seems to have missed that there’s a link at all (the text isn’t clickable either). I’ll try to remember to file a bug report later, thanks!

Thanks! This is how the comment looks on my end (voyager app):

Is this the wrong comment or is voyager tripping?

Edit: I was expecting to be horrified, but holy fuck reading the article you were referencing still shocked me. The fact that prison exists at all is genuinely sickening, let alone that people were kidnapped and sent there across country lines without trials or evidence. Thanks again for providing the link a second time, but I think I’ve had enough internet for today now lmao

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but which link do you mean? I’ve checked every comment in this thread and not seen any NPR links (also checked floofloof’s recent comment history and didn’t spot any), and I’m questioning my sanity 😭

I’ve read the article attached to this thread and this is the first I’ve seen El Salvador mentioned, so thanks since that at least gives me something to search lol

Anyone have a good source on the illegal kidnappings and the prison that won’t release people? I’ve been trying not to follow US politics but goddamn clearly I need to when they’re up to this shit already

I get this perspective, but I don’t personally wanna use it cuz “costs advertisers” == “rewards ad companies” and it’s the ad companies I have a problem with more than whatever random company decides to pay for an ad. Punishing companies for intrusive advertising is great, but not if it’s making even more money for Facebook/google/whatever fucked up company is the actual driving cause of the ad industry’s state.

Fuck that platform, if it dies right now the world will be a better place overnight. That being said, I’m against it being banned - imo if we’re petitioning for anything, it should be to get governments off of it and onto better alternatives.

Yeah those are fair points, I don’t use any of them so when I say better I mean purely from the perspective of “it can’t be owned”. Mastodon has the option to just make your own server, or worst case even your own fork of the project, and the other two afaik just don’t have either/both so will always be vulnerable to enshittification.

I’m so torn between wanting people to get on the better platform (mastodon) since they’re already migrating and not wanting to disrupt this beautiful (but way late) exodus from shitter

I love the concept, but the ugly reality is that anyone can spin up an instance and pour in an arbitrary number of votes to themselves or anyone else. I think the credibility score would give people a false confidence and honestly do more harm than good unfortunately

…did we read two different articles? The only link I see is to Mozilla’s own blog, explaining their choices in a relatively positive way. I’ve seen the effect you pointed out a lot, I just don’t see it here.

Samsung in particular has “smart” monitors, so for some of them the answer is unironically yes

It physically hurts me to say anything in facebook’s defence, but to be fair this is an account centre link to an account config page

I didn’t consider account recovery, that’s a good point. Personally I don’t usually bother with it for anything I want to be private - if I lose it I lose it lol.
It’s still not perfect, but some of the private email hosting providers like proton have email aliases, so you could use one for recovery without giving any info to hackers (assuming you trust the email provider). Definitely less secure than only a public key being exposed, but maybe an acceptable tradeoff for the convenience of an existing established solution?

You rule out social networks, but why? Wouldn’t a fediverse microblogging (or full blogging) platform work fine for the purpose? Just pick an irrelevant username and a strong+unique password and only access your account through tor using any and all relevant best practices.
Given you want the continuity of the author preserved, I don’t see the functional difference between the posts being associated with an anonymous account and them all having your public key. Am I missing something?

To put this into context, the zen5 X3D chips aren’t out yet so this isn’t really an apples to apples comparison between generations. Also, zen5 was heavily optimized for efficiency rather than speed - they’re only like 5% faster than zen4 (X series, not X3D ofc) last I saw but they do that at the zen3 TDPs, which is crazy impressive. I’m not disagreeing with you about the 7800X3D - I love that chip, it’s def a good one - just don’t want people to get the wrong idea about zen5.
