@404mediaco There's nothing batshit crazy at all about a company owning the URLs on their own domain. That automatically includes public usernames on centralized services.

@404mediaco Similarly, when someone is banned from a fediverse instance, that's the right of whoever controls the domain of the instance. They can then also do whatever they want with the username afterwards.

This is why portable objects and client-side signing of all content are important.

@LALegault @TheAdmin You can just block any user or bridge domain yourself (and there are really only 2 generic bridges). They're just like a normal fediverse instance for that matter.

And use the normal reporting tools for your admin to see any actual violations of your server rules, so they can also do the same that they would to any fediverse accounts or domains.

Looking forward to the German government's mental gymnastics, when they try to explain why they're still supporting a government whose prime minister they would have to arrest now, the minute he steps foot on German soil.

@Haydar "Don't encrypt email, because there's always metadata! But do use Signal (with metadata on one central server, tied to KYCd phone numbers), because some XMPP clients let you turn off OMEMO!!"

Logic, how does it work? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Haydar Looks like the whole article boils down to an ad for their private key directory thing. And the first half is basically just "listen to me, I'm an expert, all these other people are dumb".

"[Australia] needs to accept that much of this solar will have to be wasted — or spilled — sometimes."

If only we had a way of generating income from excess electricity, with something that can be scaled perfectly with the varying input. 🤔

@feld Now it's time for the The Babylon Bee to purchase The Onion.

@Humpleupagus That one was missing in @lain's list, thank you.

It's amazing how every new #bitcoin all-time high reliably brings out the people that don't understand it even in the slightest, and who somehow have the urge to re-broadcast every single misunderstanding of the last 15 years to the world, instead of finally looking into properly.

Finally connected our weather station to Weather Underground. Now waiting for it to collect enough data to improve the local forecasts.

They probably shouldn't have killed Olga's husband and then ask her to marry his murderer:

Probably an inspiration for the Red Wedding episode of GotT:

Consider these numbers and tell me why they're good for Europeans:

@bumi @feld I think you need to use the beta?

"2024-09-16: GPG Suite beta includes a GPG Mail version that supports the just released macOS Sequoia."

You know what really improves the world around you? Your own actions.

Do good, and be an example to others! Talk is cheap.

Shoutout to all the fine people that haven't flooded my timelines with posts to further the division of people along party lines ahead of this U.S. presidential election! 👏
