I'm pretty sure extensions can request browsing data for some specific URLs rather than every site you visit. If an extension with functionality on one website asks for access to all of them, then yeah it's a bad sign.

I'm not sure this even counts because the guy basically said let's be friends and she has leapt to thinking about getting back together. This just sounds like someone with issues of their own, if dating someone who is obviously unthinking but falls well within the predicted bounds of normal behaviour for a teenager makes them think they might be a lesbian.

How embarrassing for us both. Me unable to get the point, and you unable to convey it. A real failure of communication.

What you're suggesting is defederation by default. On the "fediverse".

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 1 points 5 months ago (3 children)

No, I want you to tell me what the point is. Seems like it's obvious to you?

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 1 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Sure. Why don't you enlighten me?

No, I'm not. It's a terrible "point".

Email is a technology, yes. ActivityPub is also a technology. Correct, nobody "owns" either. That's where the similarity ends though. If SatanCorp comes along and sets up their own instance, they get everything everyone posts. Every message they send. Instances can defederate, yes, which requires SatanCorp to spend another 10 dollars on a host name. I don't think people understand how trust based and fragile ActivityPub and Lemmy are, or how little privacy there is in any of what you do here, from good actors or bad.

Email by design does not send everyone's email to everyone else's server. It's not a good comparison.

It seems like the people that are involved are there on a publishing basis so all this means is that a promising game is going to get the disgusting Paradox DLC treatment

"Good news and bad news. Good news, Trump is not the president anymore.. "

You are correct.

Which should make sense if anyone stops to think what kind of weird pile of dinosaurs in one spot would be required to be condensed into millions of barrels of oil.
