It eludes me why people purchase these grey market products over just running unactivated. They're not valid licenses, they just overcome the technical limitations of non-activation. Generally speaking, you're supporting criminal enterprise for the sake of being able to change your wallpaper.

Edit: Truth hurts, I guess.

Highly depends on the quality of the sidewalk. While I love the aesthetic of my neighborhood much of the sidewalk is barely maintained brick and cobbles. Wheelchairs are safer in the road in many areas.

The backslashes were actually IBM’s fault. MS DOS 2.0 README

There is a significant number of GP subscribers that don’t pay nearly that much, if anything at all.

I passively accumulate enough MS Rewards points each year to not have to pay for GPU just by using Bing for search.

Your ALL is amplifying the highest engagement posts from the largest instances, particularly lemmy.world, which is definitely US-centric due to it being the largest open registration instance during the exodus... Go ahead and switch to your instances LOCAL and see what original content is being posted on sopuli.xyz. Quite a difference. https://sopuli.xyz/?dataType=Post&listingType=Local&page=1&sort=Active

I don't agree that there's been no pushback with regards to Facebook. Plenty of privacy advocates dissuade people from using it at all.

The lack of anonymity with regards to the upvote/downvote thing is just one example of things that might not be obvious to the typical user. Another would be consideration for people who moved away from Reddit so they would "stop slurping up my data". Thing is, the way the Fediverse works, pretty much anybody in the world can slurp up a much of the same data.

Not currently. Looking at the data it should be possible but I can't make an assessment of how much coding effort would be involved. Export wouldn't be a lot of work. Import would take a lot more consideration due to the need to reconcile data pointers and the effort involved in federating the changes, particularly when it comes to preserving timestamps.

They would have to pass that total along every time it changed. Different info, same number of server interactions.

Key point... not THE server, any federated instance server. This activity is available to admins of any of the thousands of servers in the federation.

[-] muddybulldog@mylemmy.win 3 points 1 year ago

You email exists only on your home instance, where you signed up. It does not get federated. Same with you password, which is hashed.

[-] muddybulldog@mylemmy.win 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, you do have to be an admin but you can be an admin on ANY federated instance, which is a piece that most people likely won't consider. Admins aren't an elite group of hand selected staff with background checks. I'm just some shmuck who knows how to format a proper docker compose file and query a database.
