Good riddance Cuck Starmer aka Kid Starver.

If the primary goal is integrated features make sure to follow actual ActivityPub standard and avoid creating platform specific conventions (looking at you Mastodon...).

I might tune in just to play with Phrecian Ascendancy classes again.

$4 price was entirely propped up by oil reserves and according to the latest reporting US only has 4 weeks of reserves left. So the true impact was delayed in the US, but despite the claims US is not isolated from price shocks. US oil companies are just able to generate profit at the same time as the crisis is happening.

US does export most of it's oil, but at the same time they do import for local consumption as they have very few refineries for their own shale.

Mozilla's own numbers tells the same story. https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity

By default it does as they send baseline telemetry to Mozilla servers, unless fork or individual user disables it. That said, many privacy oriented forks do disable it by default so they wouldn't be counted.

In 2020 Google claimed it was supposed to be limited to a single region in partnership with a single carrier. And was never meant to be put up on Play Store.

A spokesperson from Google reached out to clarify some details about the Device Lock Controller app. To start with, Google says they launched this app in collaboration with a Kenyan carrier called Safaricom.

Google has confirmed that the Device Lock Controller app should not be listed on the Google Play Store for users in the U.S., and they will work to take down the listing.

Of course, it was a lie since it's still on Play Store an of today and in use.

Important context missing from the EFF article is that the Mastodon instance wasn't the target of the raid according to the admins.

In mid-May 2023, the home of one of Kolektiva.social's admins was raided, and all their electronics were seized by the FBI. The raid was part of an investigation into a local protest. Kolektiva was neither a subject nor target of this investigation. Today, that admin was charged in relation to their alleged participation in this protest.

From what I have seen, it more stems from the activism vegans are engaged in more than the actual veganism.

Jonathan E Ross is a murderer.

Paying out legal claims and bribes from all the sexual abuse scandals are not cheap.

I think it's a distraction from the actual interactions. Same way karma is.

I'm all for supporting instances and open source developers, but any kind of reward for a donation creates wrong incentives. Donation is called a donation because it's a gift without expecting something in return.

But I also feel that any random kid shouldn’t be able to just go to these sites and see porn freely.

So they will just go to another site that doesn't have age verification and doesn't implement any security measures instead. Big sites are required to age check people before they are allowed to upload anything, that is not the case for most of the internet.

All age verification does is aggregate personal information and make it easy target for bad actors to steal. Instead of needing to go thought 100 sites, now that information & identities will be tied to a single database.

It's also a slippery slope, since the same adult content is available not just on dedicated adult sites, but mainstream social media. Lemmy, Mastodon, Twitter, TikTok, Twitch (just recently wanted to allow nudity). Do you really want to have your identity tied to your online activity?

Blame gamers for embracing every single greedy move and asking for more. If you shout how fucked up this is and still open your wallet, you are the problem.

That's a plain and simple admission that you are incompetent at your job. You should resign not post puff pieces at FT...

Trump campaign said video using Nazi-era language was posted by staffer who didn’t see wording, yet it stayed up for 15 hours

Everyone knows Trump makes all his posts himself and not staffers. He's a true fascist.

I look at it the same way I look at game engines. It's a tool, which if used in the production of the game should be disclosed and let people decide if they want to buy that product or not.

His policies on economy are responsible for billionaire class existing in the US. There is a good read on America only had a handful of billionaires 40 years ago. We’re now creating ‘centibillionaires’–and unless we tax them, trillionaires.
