Have you really never seen hexbears do the pig shit spam?

You literally just use a sponge and some bleach spray and like a minute of your time. If you replenish it daily your normal water chlorine should keep most of the bad shit at bay.

At the same time, the thing is so ridiculous that it doesn’t really interfere with any sincerely held belief, I think. The drama is what the troll wants.

Yeah it was kind of obvious it was the attack helicopter meme from the start. The whole thing was a bit silly in the sense that pronouns which don’t reflect human reality aren’t really any kind of moral hazard for ones that do imo.

At the same time, I kind of feel like gate keeping pronouns actually gives the trolls power in a way. Imagine someone at the office does this and then everyone actually calls them a Christmas tree or whatever. The lack of concern about this new nickname in the broader population would definitely piss them off, since they are the one who cares about that stuff.

Hah, I am all over that first thread already. Also in that second thread. This discussion is getting pretty out of band at this point, but I’ve actually thought about proper cryptographic solutions to this problem, but it would require modifying activity pub itself. Which is why I’m very much in favor of voting agent anarchy to force the issue.

Yeah same. As far as I’m concerned turning your own failed relationship into a hate vendetta is pretty weak shit. Do people really not just see this as extremely pathetic insecurity? Do people really not understand that letting a bad experience change you only gives it even more power over you?

Being “stoic” or whatever doesn’t mean being a whiny little piss baby. It’s kind of the opposite. There’s nothing weaker or more cringe than letting a breakup own you.

Do you have a link to any discussions on this? I have browsed local posts on piefed.social but can’t find it. I’d be curious to see more context in support of the trusted instance concept.

Yeah I guess for me I don’t really trust any admins. At the end of the day that’s a permanent database of user activity which could be passed along to anyone, so ideally the minimum threat surface would be that it exists only on the home instance.

Also, I kind of just don’t get the point of obfuscating for some and not others unless there are some politics going on behind the scenes, which just gives me even more cause for concern. I think this is a killer feature for piefed and really addresses a major concern I have with Lemmy so it is just disheartening to hear that the functionality has been nerfed for seemingly no good reason.

One? Like a solid 10% of the thread wtf

Yeah and honestly why use a turn signal? They’ll figure it out when you turn. And speed limits are obviously set too slow because they assume everyone will do ten over, right? And there’s like a solid three seconds after the light turns red where there’s basically zero chance anyone will be in the intersection! Social cohesion, order and civic pride are meaningless. Move on.

One time someone gave us a free cart at Aldi and my wife took the quarter instead of paying it forward. This is the worst thing she has ever done as far as I can tell.

This isn’t a new thing. Dilution of “programmer” and “computer” education has been going on for a long time. Everyone with an IT certificate is an engineer th se days.

For millennials, a “dev” was pretty much anyone with reasonable intelligence who wanted to write code - it is actually very easy to learn the basics and fake your way into it with no formal education. Now we are even moving on from that to where a “dev” is anyone who can use an AI. “Prompt Engineering.”

That is stupid and defeats the point and makes me rethink my decision to support piefed.

There are plenty of ways to handle double voting without plaintext user strings. The fact that it’s done this way is just lazy and poor design and doesn’t actually do anything to prevent a rogue instance from vote spamming with fake users.

When I’m out and about and looking for a drink on a hot day I’d love if regular unsweet tea was widely available. I hate buying bottled water but I also hate sweet drinks.

The unsweetened tea fight is a losing battle. The only way to get it is to make it yourself.

The weight gain is really the big sign shit is going down hill. I’ve been making a series of changes since about age 35, and each time the new diet or exercise routine works for like a year or two and then the weight slowly creeps back up. At this point I literally ride a bike 200 miles per week and I will still gain weight slowly if I eat breakfast. It makes no sense.

Is the FSB really that incompetent they don’t know who in Russia is getting public grants from the US?

Ambitious but rubbish

My wife has a tax payment history under two different legal names which share a single SSN
