So how come email spam still exists

We were really naive back when email was invented.

Is there anything about Lemmy’s architecture that will prevent this problem?

While Lemmy versions maintain some backwards compatibility, Lemmy is designed to move forward, and allow incremental security improvements. And it is possible to apply significant security updates to individual servers without losing access to the out of date ones.

Email really doesn’t have an equivalent way to improve security, Incrementally, without dropping large legitimate parts of the network.

DMARC and DKIM are making finally progress for email security- by dropping large legitimate parts of the network.

I think we will see this continue, but with federated product search, soon.

Small business vendors cannot afford to continue to leave their search results to Google and Amazon to control.

Damn. These kids need to wake up and stop getting ripped off. Salary range in the listing is the law in many states now and much of the world.

It’s basic self respect to expect it in the listing, and ask why it’s not there, when it’s missing.

Shaolin Soccer is the greatest masterpiece ever created with film.

Nested tables is the best I can do…

Voice of Ron Howard: There were too many to choose.

Lol. He knows how to get off of the list. If anyone can donate fast enough to outrun a make believe magic book, he can.

If you’re referring to “carve out”, then nope. See Carve Out Legal Meaning

Yes, with lots of carve outs:

• Un-aquited criminals who have not served their time have no right to be forgotten
• Public personalities who wish to remain public personalities don’t get to have it both ways
• Within reason, binding contracts entered into without coercion should remain binding, maintaing existing contract escape mechanisms.

Otherwise, for the rest of us, I do think we should have a right to be forgotten.

You’ve perfectly summarized my own feelings toward the best versions of Windows. Thank you. I feel more centered seeing it summarized so well in writing.

I’ll add that I found Vista cool and interesting on a technical level, even while the practical outcome was pretty awful.

Ooh. Interesting. Thanks. Might need to revisit. See if we can compete with office chairs, after all. Lol.

Exactly.

Do I detect a divide by zero joke? Nice!

This is hilarious, but I need facts.

All together, we (Lemmy) are hotter than oatmeal, but we’re less interesting than office chairs. (On Reddit).

Always spend at least 20% of the time on stuff you know is necessary, but will never be prioritized by marketing heads.

This is the way.

Leadership: Please don’t prioritize code cleanup, we have critical features we need to release.

Me: Oh. I didn’t realize you were taking ownership of (complex code no one wants to be associated with). I’ve got diagrams I can send you.

Leadership: No, that’s still yours. We just need you to focus on these features, and not any planned maintenance, for just the next sprint.

Me: So you’ll take over guiding maintenance on (complex source code no one wants to get near)? I can send you the backlog for your project plans…

Leadership: That’s not what we’re saying. Please just prioritize the feature.

Me: Oh. Sure. I will prioritize that feature, and I’ll only do the bare minimum cleanup that can’t be avoided, right now. (Which will turn out to be however much cleanup I damn well please, because their eyes glaze over if I explain it, anyway.)

Leadership: Now you’re getting it!

Me: Gee whiz. Thanks for talking it through with me.

Those are both great questions.

Discworld is ethics and robotics in middle earth.

You just blew my mind, a little. Dang. That’s Apt.

Perhaps ask questions about what they’re into rather than if they’re into thing.

This is great advice! Asking about something specific is off-putting and could lose a great candidate.

Asking an open ended question about their hobbies can get the same positive result, and will catch candidates who wouldn’t have anything to say about science fiction.

For me, the turning point was taking a bunch of classes on public speaking.

Getting in front of people helped me develop “personas” in unimportant contexts.

Now when I feel like I’m being weird, I can choose to retreat into one of my public speaking personas. And I can sort of hide inside the persona until whatever is bothering me passes.

The net effect on my interaction with the opposite gender is that when things get awkward, I become a kind of well rehearsed bland likeable that puts people at ease.

Only the people closest to me know that it’s a mask I wear to cover my own confusion or discomfort. One of the people who knows is my life partner, but of course they like me anyway, now.

As it is significant risk for me to install different OS

I used to be really anxious about it, but after installing GrapheneOS or LineageOS on many devices (I started doing it for friends who asked), they’re all humming along nicely

The way I got comfortable enough to do the first one was upgrading my previous phone right after replacing it. Of course I found that the older phone running free software was more responsive and had better battery life. (Funny how not running crapware helps!)

Experiencing that difference was enough to tempt me to put a cleaner operating system on all my new phones immediately, going forward.

In the meantime, there’s strong evidence that getting rid of random apps substantially improves privacy. May as well go for it.

But, of course, getting rid of Google apps is still the elephant in the privacy nightmare room until it’s done.
