early days Reddit and the whole Digg vs Reddit thing was wild. I remember someone made like a stupid long comic about digg vs reddit. and yeah Early reddit was much like what Lemmy is now.
yup just did it this morning on my server because now I'm moving my stuff, yet again, away from European companies because of all this. it was painfully simple and easy. I just followed a guide I found on a linux blog and within 10minutes I had a VPN of my own up and running.
because MC and Visa are morons. According to them in porn 4 fingers and a thumb in a vagina is fine. as soon as you take said fingers and thumb, ball them into a fist, and then stick it in a vagina then they got problems with THAT and it's a no go.
They have more stupid rules. If you piss on a woman in Europe and film it then it's fine. If you piss on a woman in the US and film it then it's not fine. IF you take the footage of someone pissing on a woman IN Europe and SELL it in the US then that's fine. But Americans are not allowed to pee on Americans on US soil according to Visa and Mastercard.
here's another one: Incest Porn is not fine according to Visa and MC. "but I see that stuff all the time!" I hear you say dear reader. Yes, because according to MC/Visa you MUST establish that this is a step family relationship in the beginning BUT further into said video you can drop the "step-" moniker and start throwing around regular dads and moms and brothers and sisters all you like.
they've been doing it since the late 90s/early 00s. Visa and MC have a list of "rules" for porn companies and have had them for decades. Why the vast majority of adult entertainment companies use third party processors like CCBill to specifically deal with that shit.
These dumb fucks in Australia think they're ahead of the curve or doing "something that has never been done before" but nah man they probably did talk to Visa and MC but highly doubt they pushed them to anything. it was more like Visa/MC said "oh yeah we did this before...yeah we should probably apply what we did to Porn to the gaming industry."
I don't think anyone is killing her. She met with the DOJ and Trumps lawyer or former lawyer or whatever last week and then suddenly, yesterday, she submits an appeal to the SC. they pretty much told her "because of optics and how it would look to our fascist moronic base we won't pardon you BUT if you submit an appeal we'll ensure it goes through"
Terms of the deal is once she's out she reveals all the democrats and other left leaning individuals that were "on" the island.
If they wanted her dead, she'd be dead already. OR (puts on my tin foil hat) they tell her no pardon cause they can't, but sure go to the SC and appeal we'll "make it happen, trust us" and then they tell the SC "lol, no man we're going to kill her but want it to look like suicide again so tell her no dice and then we'll kill her and say she killed herself cause she lost her appeal" or something stupid like that.
Unfortunately in this current climate either option is a very valid and likely possibility.
If I were an American I'd be insulted by the constant dog and pony show. Just let her out. you know that's what's happening, why go through the show for the peasants?
a lot of people. The other day I saw a post on mastodon by some politician or someone in the UK stating that if people find any site that is geoblocking the UK because of the age verification to report it to some link he provided. it was boosted A LOT with a lot of replies in support.
I can tell you exactly what happened. "Hey Claude, I need to configure and setup a DB with Firebase to store images from our application." and then promptly hit shift+tab and then went to go browse Reddit.
nothing was tested. nothing was verified. They let the AI do its thing they checked in on it after an hour or so. once it was done it was add all, commit -m "done", push origin master. AI doesn't implement security stuff. there was zero security here.
you're right as far it's intentions go. I honestly couldn't give a rats ass about what it intended to do what I have a MASSIVE issue with is that it did the EXACT opposite of what it "intended to do."
It didn't provide Women with a "safe space" because women's government issued IDs and their personal selfies were, quite literally, OUT IN THE OPEN. It opened Women who used the app to way more harm.
Their database, and i'm being extremely generous when I call it that, wasn't even password protected. not even a simple plain text password like "password123" there was NO password. at all. period. All I would have had to do was simply see where the app sent the scanned ID's, open a terminal, SSH into it WITHOUT A PASSWORD OR KEY, and then I now have access to the IDs of over 13,000 Women. Hell I probably wouldn't have even had to SSH into it, probably could have opened the damn thing from a web browser.
So when the media is saying 4chan "leaked" this stuff again they're being generous. It's like if you were walking down the street that Tea lived on and you noticed they left their door wide open so you decided to peak your head inside and while peaking your head in you noticed a box right by the door that had thousands of IDs in it so you picked up the box and walked out. Chances are other people got to this box before 4chan did, many people probably did, it's just that 4chan were the only ones to say "Hey I found this house with a wide open door and decided to pick up this box with all these IDs in it, neat huh?"
what I want to know is where do all these stock photos and movies and tv shows get those awesome sharpies that allow you write on windows so crisply? whenever i write on a window with a sharpie it always looks like shit.
I self host mine. Honestly I just self host as much as I can to avoid stuff like this because while many European companies are great you just never know. I was with Tuta but decided to self host, same for when I was using Filen for backups. Hell I'm even self hosting my git repos and search engine now.
Also keep in mind this thing is VERY specific to my personal workflow so I don't expect it to be anyones daily driver if it ever gets to that point. for the majority of people something like Sway works fine. For me I like the clicky clacky of keyboards and NEDM gives me that.
so with NEDM I can tell it specifically where I want my windows to open. Sway is generally automatic. say you want to open 3 terminals with a keybind sway is going to open them in the logical order it feels they should be opened. NEDM doesnt' do that. you tell it specifically WHERE on your screen you want these terminals opened via keystrokes.
so like in nvim if you have a treesitter you can navigate between your main workspace and the tree by hitting like space w h right? you do the same thing with NEDM to navigate windows. alt+space h j k l whatever. I can split my terminals horizontally with s or vertically with S. I can also split "empty spaces" or frames in the same way WITHOUT having anything open in them. so for example I can split my browser vertically and then in the empty space go ahead and split that up so I can open stuff in there as needed when I need it without having to open something, like a terminal, in order to split it up.
Sway is great if I want to let Sway decide how to manage my windows. I want complete 100% control though so I built this.
