Thank fuck, I'll finally be able to experience a non-tory Westminster.

I don't know who's downvoting you but I'd like to chime in and say you're 100% correct.

That is beyond what most people should be expected to do and it is beyond what people have done historically

Going to a local market to buy fresh produce has been the norm throughout history. In the past century it has changed but for billions of people, buying what you need for that day is still the norm, I know I still do it.

@fediverse Fediverse user growth jumped to ~50'000'000 users. What happened ?
The FediDB Fediverse User Growth graph shows a significant jump in user count in February. Software distribution is also 81% other, and the biggest server is fediverse.hanbitgaram.com with 39 million users ! What happened ?

Someone was testing a program they made that links Lemmy / Mastadon (ActivityPub) to other services, think threads or Reddit.

When they ran the program it created all the dummy accounts and published it to the Fediverse making it look like a lot of new users joined.

That sort of rhetoric always feels sexist to me. The implication is that trans women shouldn't compete since those with XX chromosomes have some sort of superpower that means they'll beat those with XX.

The quote "Trans women can compete in sports as long as they don't win." always stood out to me.

There have been cases [1] where vulnerabilities in software have been found, and the researcher that found it will contact the relevant party and nothing comes of it.

What they're suggesting is that the researcher who discovered this might have already disclosed this in private, but felt that it wasn't being patched fast enough, so they went public.

    I've not seen any of these arguments. Though it may be all downvoted to hell and back.

    My main gripe with adding privacy features to Lemmy is that the whole point of Lemmy is that all data is already publicly available and for Lemmy to continue working the way it does it'll need to remain that way. And because of that there's nothing that can be done to stop bad actors setting up an instance and selling all the data they collect.

    At least in the EU (and UK to a lesser extent) no major corporation would be able to get away with selling that data, so the spent man hours on allowing privacy settings would be wasted time.

    Because Anti-vaxxers don't exist in other countries...

    It's more that people are distrustful of large organisations in general (governments, business, religion). There's a rightful suspicion of faceless entities, and I don't think that can be "fixed".

    Isn't it a benevolent dictatorship with Linus at the head?
