This story is accurate save for what it is omitting: There is a rising trend of genocidal speech amongst black South Africans towards Afrikaners.

People are calling for the wholesale slaughter of white people, down to the last baby, they are doing this to the cheers of thousands at rallies across the country.

Black politicians are calling for white blood in the halls of government.

Even if you believe turn about is fair play vis a vie genocide, one could easily make the case for giving refugee status to Afrikaners, even while acknowledging the issue is being used as racist virtue signaling.

An instance full of toxic tankies who spam and brigade as their hobby. Nobody liked them except some tankies on lemmy.ml.

No, but it is moral to disrupt Tesla’s supply chain.

I’m bidding. Fuck them.

I was on a dating site many years ago. Never got messaged, rarely got responses.

Met someone in real life, set my profile to “in a relationship”. Got like 5 messages within a week.

Definitely a bit of vetting going on

MacOS owns the developer/sysadmin laptop market.

Nothing that involves authoritative state of data can be decentralized. Ultimately something is a source of truth. Who decides what the torrent data is? Congratulations, your system is now centralized.

Decentralized systems are anarchist mastubatory fantasy, distributed systems are what runs the world.

This is a neckbeard dream, and it is why activity pub will never take off.

Grandma ain’t running her own instance, but she can swipe her card and get “grandmahotstuff.com” tied to her ATproto DID.

As long as the did is maintained by a neutral org like let’s encrypt, and icann remains functional, it’s a superior model, as those orgs are now tied to the functioning of the internet itself.

Decentralization is is unobtainable. You have to have a source of truth. DNS has shown us the way, everyone else is fucking around.

Gotta have a trusted org to manage identities.

Penises should be loved.

There are a thousand better takes on Elon being a nazi piece of shit than trying to trash the most advanced rocket company in the world with weak arguments.

NASA always uses third party contractors for launch vehicles, and spacex is the best rocket company. Nobody is even close to second place now that Boeing is in the business of producing death traps and national security risks.

You call Elon a terrible piece of shit, but that thankfully has little to do with Shotwells excellent leadership at spacex.

Bless this guys heart, but after the Dibble affair it is clear there is no point debating insane positions in front of an insane audience.

Bluesky will never be fully decentralized. The DID needs a central authority like DNS. Its architecture is distributed though.

Ideally the DID stuff is put into a foundation, and once the open source the other components anyone who can handle the fire hose can join.

This article has zero mention of this guy being a white supremacist. Like he is on video saying white people are the superior race.

Omitting this is enabling right wing extremism.

Nope. It’s over. Threads only had momentum from it automatically creating accounts for Meta users. Bluesky is organic.

I was young and stupid. Halfway through the date her conscience finally made the right call.

I once had a date with someone, when I showed up I discovered she had a boyfriend. Turned out she had expected him to be asleep when I picked her up.

The free tier is pretty good for many people. It’s mostly Photos that ever push people into actually paying for an iCloud account.

I don’t use logic, but yeah the whole iWork suite, Freeform, Reminders, Notes. I think HomeKit data is also synced, and given how much data corruption happens in HomeKit as it is, I would dread any other complication.

There’s also the transparent encryption that happens where even Apple can’t get your stuff.

I mean I’d be a fan if Apple published a requirement spec for the iCloud api and opened it up to third parties, but it will be a lot to unpack and implement.

This holds up for simple file hosting, but the entire suite of Apple apps supports collaboration, many with live editing features. Slow sync times would put a damper on that.
