Yeah - in article, it reads the resolution of data is significantly higher.

this is DANGEROUS ground to tread on lemmy ☠️

*Sorta. ICANN has a special relationship with ccTLDs. Registries of gtlds can’t put an A record at the root tld.

Don’t forget countries. A few, I don’t have a list, but including .ai, .pn, are in full control of their domains and do it all on their own infra.

The Fediverse is pretty radical. I’m an atheist also, an exmormon, and I think this might just be a misunderstanding.
The rule, “no LGBTQ+ content,” I don’t think is saying “no gay people.” I am pretty sure it is just asking to avoid the topic, to prevent bigoted discussion from happening.
As fair or not as you want it to be, LGBTQ+ is a controversial topic for religious people, and I think it’s fair to just put a pin in that discussion in your community. But what do I know?

I’ve seen the opposite. A few days into the blackout, I saw someone post this meme about dictatorships where they (literally) put a picture of Spez right next to Tiananmen Square

Was the infant alright? AHT is no joke

Zorin seems good. I unfortunately had crashing issues with it, but that was a long time ago (a few years, but I think it was in beta back then).

Interesting, but probably harmless if it’s one-shot. In general, it seems like a bad idea. Not any better or worse than other recommendations systems. Mozilla should look into FHE.

Mint has always been my go-to grandma-friendly system. I remember using it when I was in my single-digit years. Most intuitive operating system ever. :)

Radical political ideologists love the Fediverse and always have, be it anarchosocialists or confederates. Not sure why. I just want shitposts and tech stuff.

+1 on Skiff. E2EE intra- and inbound. Great service, greater support. Free custom domains setup (& catchall aliasing!!!). Comes with a Drive, Pages, and Calendar suite.

Ubuntu is lame. OP conveniently missed LM (desktop users) and Debian (servers)

Why are people pretending this isn’t an issue??? Of course it is lol.
Luckily the fix is also easy: an image proxy server. Mail clients do this already.
It exposes the bigger problem with Lemmy: lack of auditing.

true, forgot about them!

You’re probably fine, but I recommend just getting a free VPN to keep your ISP at bay. I don’t like Proton, but they do have a free VPN. Google around and you can find some others too, if that one is too slow

Microsoft is surprisingly pro-FOSS - probably more than any of the others in “big tech.” It’s the same reason MS isn’t in the FAANG acronym. They’ve consistently forwarded and contributed to the FOSS community over the past several years. They have massive stakes in the linux foundation, which is either conspiracy or just a shift in attitude (i haven’t decided myself yet). For a more concrete example, with LLMs, Microsoft (despite basically owning OpenAI) is contributing to free and open-source language model development, with Orca and TBAAYN, as well as publishing free and open-source tooling for LLM, such as the guidance repository.

I see monero pretty widely adopted! But not near Bitcoin and even BCH might have a little more traction.

I’ve kinda seen monero as a truly peer-to-peer currency because most central exchanges don’t ever want to touch it :)

I’m also disappointed that we now have AI browsers, which is scary and not a good direction to go in.

Out of pure curiosity, why do you say this? In context of something like ChatGPT, it makes sense, but what do you think about stuff like local LLMs as assistants and embedded in browser infra?

You probably saw some (mostly fraudulent) ads. Dread is where most of Tor’s public content can be found; but, yeah, crypto (specifically Bitcoin and Monero) are the standards there.
