Pretty sure the lead lemmy dev has said some transphobic things as well. They're a major tankie at least.

Thanks for the heads up, but I'm browsing lemmy on a device that is produced at least in part by slave labor somewhere along the logistics chain. At some point I think you just have to disengage from developer drama.

Ahegao? More like ahe-kerchow!

So Microsoft doesn't want to be responsible for any potential instability from running their new OS on unsupported old hardware. They don't want to test functionality for a setup that is missing something they've listed as a requirement for Windows 11 for many years now.

Are we going to complain about them not releasing new games on the Xbox 360 anymore now?

If anyone was relying on that workaround to run Windows 11, when it has been clear from the beginning that it was an unsupported workaround, they have no one to blame but themselves.

A user blocking an instance does not block the users from that instance from interacting with the user who blocked.

It's not well explained, but my understanding is that an instance block just prevents communities from that instance, and posts made by users on thay instance, from showing for the user that blocked the instance. Comments from users of that instance still show for the blocking user, and the block is one way anyway.

because it shuts out everyone on that instance.

But it doesn't. Unless they've changed the functionality in the last 3 major revisions or so, a user blocking an instance blocks all posts from that instance. Not the users or their comments on other posts.

It's an easier way than blocking each community from that instance individually.

I'm not going to try and justify the people who think it's ok to be bigoted towards white males. It's not ok. I'm also not going to pull the "those people don't exist" bullshit, because it's bullshit.

But no one of that particular flavor of asshat is here in this post or comment thread. So get out of your own head and get over yourself. For your own sake.

Complaining about misandrists and/or people racist against white people is not acceptable behavior publicly. At best it makes you look socially incompetent, and at worst it makes you look like someone who wouldn't mind being lumped in with nazis.

On top of that, the amount of people publicly anti-"every white male ever" is pretty damn low lately. Low enough that you can generally get through life as if they don't exist.

It's been over a decade since I've seen any news orgs worth mentioning run anything along the lines of "Young white men need to be taught not to rape".

If you can't escape it, change the spaces you're spending time online, and the people you are spending time around in real life. I haven't heard that sort of shit to any significant amount for a very long time.

Holy shit. I have been trying to figure out what this intro was from so I could find it again for years!

That 90s cg museum just has such a specific feel to it, and I'm down bad for anything that captures that sort of vibe.

Anything supposedly said by "Anonymous" as a hacker group should always be treated with immense skepticism.

There do exist somewhat legitimate sub-factions that actually take serious actions and do serious ops, and also semi-legitimate "outlets" for their statements... but there's also an overwhelming amount of smokescreen bullshit "anon news outlets" and little script kiddies running around. It's important/intentional that those continue existing as smoke screen for the more "serious" factions.

Beyond that, being an anonymous group with no real methods of confirming membership to outsiders (insiders can just check if you're in the private IRCs and etc) it means that just about anyone and everyone can make some big declaration like this. The proof will be in the results, not some announcement that could be made by a rando.

All that said, there's convincing and considerable evidence (collected by Krebs) that members of Elon's DOGE group have background in the actual hacking ops spaces.

No matter who is really making these threats/warnings, I think things are going to get pretty dire in the US government IT space. It's been well known for decades that most government orgs have absolutely abysmal cyber security, and now you have a bunch of young adult tech-bros with no true accountability running roughshod over all of it. Then there's the fact that more than one of them have "serious black hat hacker" backgrounds.

Going to be one wild ride.

I should combine this with a cheap thin bookend for my bookshelves! Custom cozy bookends!

Looks like a nice online wrapper for yt-dlp. If you're on a computer you're better off using that. There's also versions of it for android. But I guess it's good for iOS and ease of use?

Thank you so much for actually listing the albums! So fucking many of these album grids just expect people to just recognize the album cover, which makes it useless for trying to find new stuff that people who like what you like enjoy.

My wife nearly tripped over me when I got down on one knee, lol. It was the height of Pokemon Go, and it was a little too good of a distraction from me being suspicious in the park where we first met.
