It was a good answer anyway

People love to repeat this but it’s not as comforting as you think it is.

Thank you both for warning me against doing something like that.

Any way to read the article without the paywall?

Don’t forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.

They cite grsec, that guy is a notorious troll. I’ve seen customers apply their patches thoughtlessly, on bad advice, and bring down production systems. Linux security isn’t perfect (if it was I would be unemployed) but a lot of those problems are solved on properly configured modern systems.

Perchance

I do Linux research for a living and I barely give a shit.

Yep. I want to federate and block who I want to federate and block. Large instance admins need to make compromises for practical reasons, but I don’t. My personal instance has no boards, so I don’t have to deal with problematic users from other instances either. If an instance is particularly awful, I can just not visit them until I have time to switch to my admin account and defederate it, there’s no urgency.

Plus, I thought it would be easier to get my friends to switch if they had an admin they could literally call if they ran into problems.

If an artist’s vision is sexualized children, maybe that artist needs an eye exam.

Wtf why. There’s no karma on lemmy to farm!

There’s been a few posts on it, including one where the OP intentionally voted the post up with an army of bots to demonstrate the problem.

If you run an instance with closed registration you’ll probably receive a bunch of incredibly similar, clearly AI generated, applications from bot accounts. They seem to prefer existing instances over spinning up bot instances, to avoid defederation.

Without the context of the class it’s hard to know if “talk about your contributions” is meant as “large parts of America were built on the backs of abused Chinese immigrants,” or if it’s meant to whitewash the experience. E.g., “the immigrants loved the opportunity to contribute to a free western society!”

While the primary motivation for it is definitely cynical, I am quite enjoying the MMO-lite aspects of the game. Running into strangers in the wild and doing activities together feels better in Diablo than it did in Destiny.

Edit: it would be pretty sick if they had an offline-only “realm.” D3 on switch was great for long flights and other places without steady internet. D4 is probably unplayable in air.
