Typing this on sync. No issues at all currently

Damn. That’s brutal.

I’ve used that phrase myself in the past, and never thought of this, despite having done hospice care. Thanks for the perspective. That’s serious, you made me rethink things.

People are morons

No, we super super promise!

Tbh, I’ve done all the calling out I feel useful. I get you for sure, but I’m old enough that a single callout is about my limit. I say my peace, then report (in the case of something this rude), then block.

Yah, that would be a great solution in comparison, but it’s still privacy invasive. Not as bad, but it’s still not giving people due process.

Which, not everywhere in the world recognizes that principle as a right, I am aware. But I do consider due process a right, and scanning anything on anyone’s devices without a legally justifiable reason is a violation of that.

I’m not willing to kowtow to a moral panic and just ignore the erosion of privacy “because the children”. And it is a moral panic. As bad as it is, as much as I personally would enjoy five minutes alone with someone that’s making or using kiddie porn of any stripe, it simply isn’t such a common thing that stripping everyone of their privacy, in any way is acceptable.

They wanna figure out a way to target individuals suspected of that kind of crime, awesome. Untargeted, sweeping invasions simply are not acceptable, and I do not care what the purported reason of the week is; kiddie porn, terrorism, security, stopping drugs, I do not care. I have committed no crime, and refuse to give away the presumption of innocence for myself or anyone else.

Gods, people are just dumb.

I am so glad lemmy has a block function

Look, just because people don’t agree that a specific method will be effective, that doesn’t mean they support it.

That’s shitty thinking, and even shittier behavior. You should be ashamed of yourself for going there in what was previously a civil, friendly discussion.

It wouldn’t. Anyone into that shit will just go somewhere else, and the price of that is yet another erosion of privacy.

Frankly, good.

There has yet to be any of these purported “child protection” scams that would do a damn thing for kids, and only invades the privacy of people that have zero reason to be investigated in the first place

I would argue that only revolution will stop them, but it would be nice to have a peaceful option work instead

Sorry, but you can not have my proprietary beard yeast, so you can’t have the same beer I make (I don’t make beer. I do make bread, but have never cultured my beard yeast)

The fuck are you smoking?

Damn, I hope there’s no upper limit to block lists

You’re young. It really was a thing. It never stayed up long, and they found ways to make it essentially instantaneous, but there was a time it was easy to find very unpleasant things on Facebook, whether you wanted to or not. Gore in specific was easy to run across at one point. CP, it was more offers to sell it.

They fixed it, and it isn’t like that now, but it was a problem in the first year or two.

Windows 10.

The way they rolled it out, and everything they shoved down the throats of anyone that “upgraded”

I think 16 terabytes? Might have been twelve. I was consolidating a bunch of old drives and data into a nas for a friend. He just didn’t have the time, between working and school and brought me all the hardware and said “go” lol.

Fucking Allan, always fucking shit up.

Wait, what? Did you reply to the right person?

Stop posting US politics here. Why would anybody outside the US who comes here for “Technology” be interested in that?!

Seriously, IDGAF where it is, this post is not about technology at all.

Isn’t that the same as other newer formats though?

There’s always something new, and if the new thing is better, adding/switching to it is the better move.

Or am I missing something about the other formats like webp?
