  • Unsurprisingly, vulnerable folk being regularly and deliberately attacked by people "speaking freely", tend not to see "speaking freely" as a gift, and are more inclined to see a space where they're not attacked just for existing as a gift.

    What's your IQ?

  • My IQ goes all the way up to 11!

  • How open are you about yourself to others online in general?

    Jump

  • I've been using my real name on the internet for 30 years or so now. I've hosted public radio shows, I run/admin several online LGBTQ communities and I've had newspapers articles done about my transition and activism.

    It's absolutely possible that someone with the desire could utilise that against me. But it's unlikely and it hasn't happened yet. And in the mean time, having to hold myself back and be constantly on edge about what I say and where I say it would impact my use of the internet in a way I don't like, every single time I use it.

    So for me, it's worth the risk.

  • Which countries strongly support my values?

  • Iceland?

    Though prices are high in Iceland. Their wages are also high, which offsets that, but if you're coming in with foreign currency/income, you'll feel the prices more...

    If you were born or adopted before December 15, 2025

    Citizenship may have been restored or given to people who were born outside Canada in the second generation or later before December 15, 2025.

    This means that in most cases you’re automatically a Canadian citizen if you were born

    • before December 15, 2025
    • outside Canada to a Canadian parent

    This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes.

    If this change made you a Canadian automatically, but you don’t want to be one, you can apply to give up (renounce) your Canadian citizenship.

    Adopted people are likely eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship through a direct grant for adopted people if they were born and adopted outside Canada in the second generation or later before December 15, 2025.

  • Lemmy Federation Is Useless If Communities Aren’t Really Decentralized

    Jump

  • I like themed instances and would enjoy them more if the All feed were personalized instead of the same for everyone.

    That's what your subscribed feed is for..

    But choosing an instance that fits you best isn't possible

    It doesn't need to be the best fitting instance possible. It just needs to be an instance that lets you use and interact with the fediverse in a way that works with you. That's why a lot of people use generalist instances. They're no ones "best fit", but they are also less likely to be bad fits for folk...

  • Lemmy Federation Is Useless If Communities Aren’t Really Decentralized

    Jump

  • Some instances are themed, some are generalist. Because multiple communities can exist around the same topic/theme, the user based ultimately ends up in a community hosted on an instance that fits their needs, because if it didn't, they would simply move elsewhere.

    Which ultimately means that if you get instance banned from an instance that hosts a community you want to use, there's a good chance you weren't going to last long in that community anyway...

  • Pascal (GTX 1070) on Arch after NVIDIA 590... what’s the sane long-term path?

    Jump

  • It will compile and install the module for you. All it means is that whenever your kernel is updated, the install process will take around 5 minutes longer than it otherwise would whilst it compiles the dkms module for you.

    If you use the lts kernel package, your kernel updates will be infrequent.

    If you use the regular arch linux kernel package, it will update every few weeks like it does now, and each time, your package installation process will run a few minutes longer due to the need to compile the driver

  • Is it wiser to store one savings in Gold as superior to the average bank/savings accounts nominal interest?

  • But you're also betting that the economy will come back alive soon enough because without it all you have is a heavy pile of metal.

    You probably don't even have that. Unless you have your own vault, someone else is holding it for you, and if things collapse far enough, good luck ever seeing it

  • I spoke to Pewgar about the eco fascist thing. It was old by the time I became aware of it, and was deleted by the user, and no further occurrences had happened in the intervening time. They told me they used the term without understanding the implications of what it meant (ie, they didn't realise it was literal fascism)

    Similarly, the other removed comments are old, with no recent repeats that I have found since then.

    In any case, community mods have their own rules for community bans, but as for an instance ban, despite the comments, given their age and lack of repeat occurrences, I don't believe pewgar is a fascist or a genocide advocate, and so no instance ban was issued.

    If there have been repeats of those types of comments since the initial ones were made 2 years ago, I'm not aware of them. If something comes to light that makes me believe pewgar (or anyone else) genuinely supports genocide or fascism, the ban hammer will drop.
