The object man appears behind you while you're coding and inserts a null reference that takes you a day to find.

No one forced the democrats to do this:

I read through the whole list, and monero was the only decent privacy recomendation I could find. Everything else was US-hosted. A lot of it was just recommendations from Apple and Google on "privacy" services they offer.

No mention of syncthing, matrix, xmpp, even with sections dedicated to those categories.

Yes, I believe all the messages are in plain text, and it's up to the server not to log it.

It is possible to e2ee the message content yourself tho.

Edit: it looks like ntfy.sh specifically keeps messages cached in memory for a few hours befor discarding them. https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/

Russia would need a hundred years more of existence to even come close to the amount of atrocities the US has and continues to commit.

For sure, stuxnet is just the beginning, who knows what the US will subject the world to next.

The country that Linux is domiciled in currently (US), has slave labor camps:

  • The US currently operates a system of slave labor camps, including at least 54 prison farms involved in agricultural slave labor. Outside of agricultural slavery, Federal Prison Industries operates a multi-billion dollar industry with ~ 52 prison factories , where prisoners produce furniture, clothing, circuit boards, products for the military, computer aided design services, call center support for private companies. 1, 2, 3

It also has the highest prisoner population in the world both by capita and total.

Russia's prison rates don't even come close to the majority of US states, including even California.

Not sure what the source is there. Does seem low, but Israel doesn't seem to be taking any prisoners anyway.

You should let them know, they might need your expertise.

 
 
 

We all know how awful most modern websites are in terms of bloat, javascript and tracking. Not only that, but designing and maintaining web-browsers has become such a gigantic undertaking (almost the size of an operating system), that only a few companies have the resources to do it (google and mozilla, and mozilla might not hold on for much longer).

These alternative protocols offer a minimal set of features, and are trying to get back to what the web should've been: static content with images, text, and links, with local applications filling the void for anything more complicated than that.

Lets say I wanted a privacy-friendly way to view a page on a news site. I could:

  • Copy the URL of the page
  • Open some tool, (or website, anything), paste that url.
  • It converts the content in the url to the necessary privacy-friendly alternative format, and I can view it with my gopher/gemini browser (or even maybe a markdown viewer).

I know there are a few html -> markdown converters that can do the last step.

Does anyone know if this would work?

Let us know in the comments if you’re able to help mod. Requirements:

  • You have to be on the lemmy.ml instance
  • Should have a history of activity here
  • Able to enforce the rules, with temp bans or permabans if necessary.
 

Now I only have to answer ~300 replies and private messages until I can get back to coding!
