I mean that’s alot of effort to go through when they could just as easily plant CSM on someone if they wanted to. I understand the paranoia people have, but there are easier ways to fuck someone’s life up.

Remember when ankles were sexy

To answer your question seriously, no. Having pictures or videos of a 15 year olds breast is not by default porn, it’s only porn once it’s in a sexual context.

On one hand, yes let’s get annoyed at companies for using alot of energy. On the other hand, we have known our energy needs will be exponential for decades yet we haven’t tackled the issue. We still burn fossil fuels, despite having the ability to not do that.

Being angry at companies for building a new technology yet not being angry at the government and NIMBY fuckwads is a little… Backwards imo.

A few of the dimwits I work with use china alot as a reason to not do anything about climate change because they keep building coal plants but… The coal plants they build are more efficient.

According to this chart the UK is doing well but we can still do better and we should keep doing more.

UK has a higher population than Canada but had a lower rating on this scale. So that’s not strictly true.

It’s harsh to criticise people for not working for free…

Right but a small company or even a group of people aren’t going to put resources into something that a few % of people use. Look at Linux, despite it being the most used operating system in the world, retail sticks to windows and Mac, so it just doesn’t get the same level of support.

I completely agree in the sense people should educate themselves and use products that benefit them and don’t abuse them, but people don’t. And because people don’t, companies won’t.

You said it better than I could

Most people don’t use federated services. I know it’s ironic that an open source project isn’t using open source channels, but sometimes it’s best to stick to services that are easy access and popular.

I’m sure if enough people got in contact about using open source communication they would likely attempt it.

I emailed Microsoft to get my domain removed from their blacklist and it worked within 48 hours. Aslong as my domain has it’s correct security settings I no longer go to spam. Gmail didn’t seem to care as much.

Out of that list I use OVHCloud. Their VPS are built on Epyc (atleast they are in London), which gives very high performance for a low price.

Imagine if steam sold movies and TV shows

Funny, I’ve been a banker mason (stonemason) for 10 years and I’m now doing a computer science degree.

If you dump 8tb of data onto a 10tb SSD and only read from it, it will probably last just as long as a hard drive. SSD’s wear from lots of write operations, reading from them doesn’t really do much other than the cache will be damaged over time.

And they have Spotify DJ, which not everyone likes but I think it’s great, worth the £10 a month to me

Found blizzard.

But it also proves that if a company gives a shit, they can do it. This can be achieved with lower costs and experience, so in time the costs will come down.

Whereas Activision blizzard don’t give a fuck and anytime there’s a new DlC or game there’s significant downtime despite being a multi billion dollar company. Why people continue to support them I’ll never know

Caddy makes it so you don’t have to understand reverse proxies to use them, the config is literally just "reverse_proxy " and then gives it a let’s encrypt SSL certificate. It’s beautiful for self hosting.
