Honestly, the US is largely safer than it’s ever been. Not sure why this is a constant drumbeat but folks will buy it up, I suppose.

Yeah, I don’t like a guy who consistently tries to embody “move fast, break stuff” in the places I least want that to be the case.

I always hate policy talk trying to split the hairs of Nazism and “calls for violence”.

Even worse, I just can’t get allowing monetization. If you truly “hate the views”, stop lining your pocket with their money…

The bit about this system flagging a “single person” more than 900 times at over 130 stores without any awareness of it as bunk data is just staggering.

Just make it all paid only and kill it once and for all…

Yeah, this is a big issue. I know Lemmy blew up a bit before it was truly ready for prime time but I hope this cleans up.

Couldn’t happen to a better bunch.

Short answer is that a lot of privacy-focused tools get abused like hell and put these companies in an untenable position. It sounds like Jitsi had something fairly bad happening that would’ve put them in a regulatory pinch.

Stupid idea that’s clearly motivated by the city’s deference to their tech gentry. Self driving anything has too many questions and issues still. I’m also not inclined to table “well what about the problems with people driving?” That only tells me we need transit, not robo taxis.

Having worked at a cloud provider for awhile and also done support, the reasoning is generally that Ubuntu is the “path of least resistance” to getting running. They have a super engaged community and the market share leads to a lot of guides across the web being primarily made for Ubuntu.

To be fair, it also helps that their LTS support is really nice and their repos are a lot closer to up-to-date than a bunch of others.

Drives me nuts that people do this garbage “for the kids” while doing nothing to support the groups working to stop actual child abuse. Go support NCMEC or something instead of being worried a child might Google “gay”.

He’s been fixated on X for so long and everyone’s told him items a dumb idea. He’s finally in a situation where no one will tell him no.
