Holy crap I had this issue. Seeing the cover just instantly hit me with the nostalgia.

The datacenter may be out of the reach of terrestrial law enforcement, but the company directors won’t be.

was this UAV safe?

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Trying to monetize the piracy of your users. That’s a bold business strategy.

Look, I know a lot of people could be using the sharing feature to share material that is in the public domain or that they own the copyright to, but let’s be honest: most of that sharing would be considered an “unlicensed public performance” by the MAFIAA.

If you go to your Settings page, there’s a Blocks tab which has a text-entry field where you can type in a community name to block it.

I frequently access Lemmy through quite old hardware, and I’d be a bit worried that these PoW scripts would make the site unusably slow for me.

Does Unraid still use JBOD with a single parity disk or have they moved to a sane drive layout?

I will describe how it works and the ethics of such a tool.

Where in this post do you describe the ethics of such a tool?

non-technical users believe that their votes are private, which is far from the truth. This attitude could potentially lead to harassment of Lemmings (yes, that’s what we Lemmy users call ourselves) for upvoting a particular post. Lemvotes makes it clear that votes are not private, which could help bring a more accurate picture of the way votes work on Lemmy to its users.

This is what needs discussion. It is this tool which will lead to harassment due to the way someone votes. And the threat or spectre of harassment will lead to the Chilling Effect, ie. self-censorship (of voting) to avoid harassment.

The chilling effect this causes will make communities even more like echo-chambers, as dissent will be pre-emptively squashed.

Without a tool like this existing, people have to go out of their way to find out this information (setting up their own instance, or finding someone who already does this surreptitiously). By making such a tool available to the lemmy community at large, you make it extremely easy for anyone to do this, and so the chance of harassment occurring is much higher.

You might think you’re being clever, or on some kind of crusade to educate the uneducated. But actually your actions are making this (community-built) platform worse. Compare your actions to releasing a 0-day exploit for a security vulnerability instead of responsibly disclosing. It doesn’t help, it just causes chaos until the people who do the actual work can figure out a solution.

Think about how your tool existing now changes the dynamic of Lemmy as a whole. Is it better, or worse? How would you actually solve this problem in Lemmy, instead of exploiting it?

good riddance

We should have all done this about 9 years ago when it became apparent that it was being used to destabilise our democracies.

Didn’t this get fixed very recently? I think it can fetch all replies at the time of loading the thread now.
