Honestly, I would be very much down to see this on Lemmy too. "This account was registered from country X" "Last post from country Y" (Or alternatively, "Last post from known VPN" so you at least know it's happening.)
It adds some interesting context at the very least.
Mind you, I have never in my life tried to use it, but my understanding is that is the Fediverse equivalent of FB. I'm mostly on Mastodon or Pixelfed, which are the equivalents of Twitter and Instragram.
I mean I don't have the amount of time necessary to go into how dirty past presidents have been and I certainly don't have the knowledge at my fingertips. But also, I think the stuff like Watergate and Monica Lewinski is barely a blip on the chart when you put Trump on it too. Which is not to say I condone the behavior of those presidents or seek to normalize their behavior. Just that from a numerical perspective it barely registers.
No sitting president before him has been a convicted felon.
No sitting president before him has been involved in the sheer volume of sexual scandals from assault to cheating to being implicated in possible pedophilia.
No sitting president before him has refused to return literally boxes and boxes of classified documents which he kept as trophies (or possibly as items for sale) while storing them in extremely inappropriate ways. (This is extremely different from Biden, btw, who promptly returned a few accidentally retained documents. Trump was playing shell games with them, repeatedly swearing he had returned them all while doing things like loading them on planes to move to other locations, etc.)
No sitting president before him has attempted to overthrow the government when they lost an election.
The level of bribery and corruption in his administration is off the charts.
The number of lies he tells has always been off the charts. ("I've never heard of Project 2025!" while having given a speech to its members and now following its plans to dismantle the federal government.)
His department heads have all been picked to dismantle the departments they're in. (Project 2025 again)
And then of course there is the christofascism angle, which is extremely disturbing because he definitely plans to never leave power again. He's currently trying hard to normalize use of military force against US citizens so he can seize control of the elections to make sure they go his way.
As far as I know, there still aren't any non-WebKit engines for iOS, even though the possibility is theoretically there as of 17.4… (It may need to be EU-only? I'm not clear on that part.)
You have to have set something up differently from me because on my machines it was a separate install from everything else down at the bottom of the updates page. And yes I did it. No major issues so far, although I wouldn’t have jumped in for a long old time if I still used Adobe products regularly.
I mean… it's hilarious that people still use Chrome when it has been a known back actor for years and years. Firefox is an excellent option and the more people that use it, the more it encourages companies to keep supporting open web standards.
Likewise, if you set an iPhone to use Advanced Data Protection, it's probably quite a bit more secure from intrusion than a similar Android phone. (And definitely more secure from subpoena.)
One thing I will say is here in the desert, we don't actually want them either. Water is already an issue. Power costs are already an issue when you're cooling your house all summer/heating it all winter. Data centers provide minimal jobs for the amount of resources they use in a community and the downsides have been discovered in a number of places around the country too (ranging from noise to increased costs to resource shortages). Keep your data centers off our cactii!
