I was trying to point out the hypocrisy of branding your instance to be about privacy and security when tankie-glorified regimes don’t respect that at all, and they’re instead mildly pushing people in that direction. Why not use something from the EFF pages on those topics? Nice strawman, though.

Joined Lemmy.ml because it was supposed to be a security, privacy and FOSS focused community

Yep that’s the line the developers put up there to lure people in. It’s mildly disingenuous at best. Having to copy a line from a document titled “The Principles of Communism” just to sign up should’ve tipped you off that something was a bit weird.

Join an instance that has more lax federation standards and subscribe to the ml communities you care about, or get comfortable with defederation and people from other instances discarding your opinions. It’s a choice you need to make.

This feels like a hasty “solution” to an invented “problem”. Sure, Wikipedia isn’t squeaky clean, but it’s pretty damn good for something that people have been freely adding knowledge to for decades. The cherry-picked examples of what makes Wikipedia " bad" are really not outrageous enough to create something even more niche than Wikia, Fandom, or the late Encyclopedia Dramatica. I appreciate the thought, but federation is not a silver bullet for everything. Don’t glorify federation the way cryptobros glorify the block chain as the answer to all the problems of the world.

To be fair, I tested this question on Copilot (evolution of the Bing AI solution) and it gave me an answer. If I search for “those just my little ladybugs”, however, it chokes as you describe.

Nobody said any of that. Get over your persecution complex.

Ignore this guy. I’m seeing a lot of “both sides bad” hot takes lately and I get the feeling we’re seeing a lot of seeds of doubt disinformation spreading like we got back in 2016. Abandon the troll, he can’t vote anyway.

Lemmy moment

It’s almost never broken. I have only been turned away for a broken machine one time ever, and McFlurries are more or less a monthly treat.

Sorry to break the internet meme, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t all that common.

Your math is wrong. If the Celeron runs 65W at idle then it is consuming at minimum 1.56kWh a day, at a price of €0.20 per kWh you’re looking at a minimum operating cost of €113.88 a year.

You didn’t factor in that days have 24 hours, not one hour.

Imagine paying for bigger uploads on Discord when Mega is free.

Sir, this is Lemmy. The correct terms are “fuck cars” and “capitalism bad”.

It’s the truth, though. The whole “One China” policy is the only reason the PRC and the USA have any sort of diplomacy at all.

This fuckin’ guy.

Oh my God please fuck off with this. Not everything single fucking issue is related to capitalism. You guys need to chill the fuck out and find some new hobbies.

Vivaldi is my daily driver. It has the best tab-management, dark website-mode (hidden function), build-in tracker, pop-up & ad-blocker, RSS-Reader, e-mail client, site-hibernation and much more.

You forgot excessive RAM usage 🤮

Those many stupid people are paying for your gmail.

Sorry you have to hear it this way, but a butt towel requiring a wash in detergent and even more water than you just flushed is less eco-friendly than two squares of toilet paper.

The true reality from someone who works in this space is that every company with an intelligent marketing department uses an email service specialized to help market to a customer file filled with email addresses with preferences tailored to each customer, and marketing campaigns are designed days or weeks in advance and scheduled to go out on a rolling basis. Email addresses that get queued up for some sort of email campaign are already “locked and loaded” to some degree and are not designed to be unraveled to remove one random unsubscribe request. Since the email providers receive client updates perhaps once a day to fill campaign lists, your unsubscribe as a rule will not immediately sync to be removed from any future campaigns you’re not already signed up to receive. On top of that, syncs can and do fail, however infrequently. This means that if there is a technical issue with the connection of some sort, it can take a day or two to resolve. A heavy marketer may still send a couple emails to a customer that unsubscribed while that sync issue is being repaired.

tl;dr: Most companies remove you from email campaigns within a day. 7-10 days is CYA language in case something goes wrong.

We did. Keep in mind that the explosion of growth on Lemmy is mostly made up of people that lost their apps due to the API rule changes, the ones that were opinionated and engaged enough to be selecting a 3rd party solution. So, Lemmy just got bombed with the loudest and most self-righteous of reddit users that now loudly circlejerk about how much better Lemmy is. In reality, all we have is a less diverse crowd of really loud people. Same shit, different platform.

Sync supremacy
