I think this is one if those laws where they get to selectively choose who to prosecute.

…everyone is always a criminal so those in charge can do whateverthefuck they want with little regard for actual laws.

What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?

suffer.

isnt the whole point we get to use the tools we want?

one of them should leak this ‘finialized’ report

it sucks that this is the new normal.

ha, i think youll need a bit more of a qualifier. ive fired a gun lots, and i cant hit the side of the proverbial barn

ha yeah cuz a body shot is 100% death.

isnt the brain like 80% of the head?

head = obviously unprotected. body=unknown

i get your point, but still seems like the wrong way to go

who would waste time on a body shot?

i am big into the oldschool shit. my first browser was lynx

one of the reasons i chose to use an mbin instance is so i could access the threadiverse and the twitterverse at the same time. I can bookmark comments/posts and its pretty easy to check the peeps i follow if i miss their stuff in the server feed which is entirely temporal and can be limited to subscribed content.

fucks apps though. i use firefox on mobile/desktop and that seems to work for me. https://moist.catsweat.com

im not saying the fediverse isnt without its serious challenges. that said;

sorry, not letting bluesky havin my keys… but you do you.

i just dont understand people putting their effort into a piece of shit, corporate backed protocol like AT when AP is already more mature, in use, and with large contingent of active developers.

its portability is at the whim of those running the system. its still not your data. you can take your pod… and go where? all those other routers that will startup just any day now? after 3 years i think there’s 2 routers… and they dont talk to eathother. hilarious.

any day now!

its just twitter 2.0 with more steps and all the same executives.

sorry, not all of us are independently wealthy. some of us have to work for other people who require m$.

unfortunately, atproto doesnt scale horizontally as AcitivytPub does. so, really, no one should use it.

usually the people asking this end up at nostr… as close to true anonymity as you can get and all the worst of humanity that goes along with it.

friends dont let friends use nostr.

IE, it is a protocol-level change and would require modification of that specification (ActivityPub).

youll need to be more specific on what you mean by ‘federating’, but the answer is generally, no. domains are fundamentally core to the infrastructure.

its like asking can we have a phone system without phone numbers… suuure, but then its not really a phone system anymore, is it?

can we segment user addressing from server addressing? potentially… thats where it get interestingly complex.

this is the way

“free market”… oops, cept for those things.

People don’t subscribe to institutions with no credibility and don’t provide value in return.

ha, ok. have you met many people? id like to introduce you to an entirely fake valuation we call the “stock market”… where nothing is real and unfortunately for poor people, everything matters

you should know that local and state laws have been enacted specifically to prevent communal telcom services in many places

…because your politicians are bought and paid for. good luck.

anyone who thinks the stock market is not a complete fabrication of reality managed by the extremely wealthy just are not paying attention.

the issue is that its very old. when running it, you will use a ton more electricity and be a lot slower than even a 5-8 year old unused retail box/workstation.

yes, you could throw ubuntu on there and it will work fine. then you could toss docker on there and play with some container apps for the kids maybe… like a mintecrafter server.

but, like i said, youd be better off digging a more recent workstation out of some garbage can and doing the same thing.

e. ha, just checked that is a desktop/workstaton box…i thought you were talkin a real HP server… they have much larger power requirements. that little box you have there would be fine for a little mini server for light apps.
