We made it this way because you’re stupid. Also, if you don’t like it, you’re stupid.

No wonder it turned out to be a pile of dogshit.

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles…

Considering how easy it is to set up a screen reader or to set an overriding font on most browsers, this seems like an exercise in futility. That said, something like mssystem ought to do it – standardized, block-style typeface, with little to differentiate the individual letters.

They pulled a rifle on him for a missing mudflap, so yeah, I’d be terrified, too.

If I had to guess, I’d say they’re trying to maximize their market cap. It’s no secret that they’re looking for a buyer and/or eyeing and IPO. The more profitable they can seem before that, the more money Huffman can walk away with.

Better yet, use a hidden partition.

That’d be my suggestion. I can’t imagine that the average airport security goon is going to check the reported size of the drive against the hardware specs as part of a normal inspection.

Always play stupid in these instances: I forgot the password; I got it second-hand and didn’t know about that; Encrypt-a-what, now?

I can’t imagine why. As much as I love the fediverse and what it stands for, it’s barely a blip on anyone’s radar at this point.

At some point, maybe. Back when I was running my own Mastodon instance, things were pretty much in this same state, but lots of other things have improved.

I mean, in Russia, anything is possible, but in any country that respects the rule of law, you’re a citizen if you pay taxes.

Name checks out.

Pretty much just this. Well, and LinkedIn, but I don’t post personal stuff over there. I moved from Facebook to Reddit about eight or nine years ago, and with Reddit circling the drain, am currently rudderless. Tried this Mastodon thing when it first got popular a few years ago and had no good experiences with it; this time around seems to be different with all the fresh blood. Just hope it keeps on keepin’ on .

I’ve been all about these things since we first started talking about them, but whatever that is is bullshit. It doesn’t have nearly enough connection points, and the ones it does have are secured by velcro. If the workers are feeling anything, and that’s a big “if,” then it’s purely placebo.

Edit: Clearly @Hellsadvocate thinks tricking folks is the way of the future.

If their sale to Microsoft goes through, you can bet on it. I give M$ a lot of shit, and deservedly so, but their history of buying game companies and turning them into professional outfits is established.

I wish they’d do a graphics refresh on LotRO. That was a great game in its day.

can Joe Schmoe hosting a rinky-dink Lemmy instance do the same?

So rinky-dink that he doesn’t have a proper backup system, right? One unfortunate accident, and there’s no data to subpoena.

If I had to take a guess, its probably from folks running over it and breaking it off.

If I’m doing a drive-by of Reddit, I might nab a few stories, but for the most part I don’t even load it anymore.

Paid reviews can accomplish a lot.

You can sue over anything, sure, but if you’re really considering it, you’re better off waiting for HR to finish its investigation. If it comes out in your favor, you can use that to bolster your position; if it doesn’t, then you may want to rethink filing. Let somebody else’s money do your litmus test.
