The problem is it takes time to identify them and kick them out. At a large scale, there will be a constant churn of poorly managed and malicious instances getting access to the network and then not getting booted until weeks or months later.

I doubt they’ll care, if only due to self-interest. Most of the corporate sites are trying to ban or deprioritize links because they don’t want people to leave their site and stop viewing their ads.

If you care about that, spinning rust is not the right solution for you.

The problem is the federated nature gives a limited view of user behavior to everyone except the home instance, which means identifying spammers, bots and influence ops and effectively banning them is much harder, assuming the mostly volunteer admins even have the time and desire to do so. Federation also introduces the possibility of malicious instance owners.

Lemmy’s design is fundamentally unable to deal with bad actors. The only reason it’s tolerable now is that it’s too small to be worth their time. It would completely go to shit if it ever got huge.

The argument was based on real median wages returning to above where they were in 2019, unemployment being <5% and inflation dropping back to 2%.

There’s not going to be another free election, so fuck’em.

Young people overall still went for Harris by the largest margin of any age group. The story is overwhelmingly one about turnout. The overall turnout was down 3% and the drop happened mostly in demographic groups that lean Democratic.

No, because it comes from personal experience working in cybersecurity.

I support most of what Lena Khan has done, but this is stupid. Cybersecurity features should be built into the base package of all cloud products. The fact that so many charge extra for them is and always has been bullshit. It’s like trying to sell a car but charging extra to include seat belts and air bags.

The complaint should be that they’re selling a product that is unsafe in its base offering.

NIST has been saying since 2016 not to use SMS for MFA. It’s always been horribly insecure.

They seem to be real hit or miss. I also have 2 6TB barracudas that have 70,000 power on hours (8 yrs) that are still going fine.

Avoid these like the plague. I made the mistake of buying 2 16 TB Exos drives a couple years ago and have had to RMA them 3 times already.

No, because that’s when the olds took it over.

Germanium and gallium are not that rare. They’re produced as a byproduct of other types of mining (zinc, aluminum, coal, etc). China has a monopoly on them not because of any kind of special geology, but because they were willing to sell them below cost for decades.

It won’t take long for alternative sources to spin up and become available, especially because China has been threatening to do this for over a year.

Because it’s Microsoft and they have to compulsively rename things every few years.

They’re also one of the companies trying to destroy the NLRB.

There will 100% be a policy to disable it. Microsoft may shit on their retail users, but there’s no way they’d force it on their enterprise clients. It’s a security and compliance nightmare and they know it.

The problem with that argument is that 80% of people live in cities. There are not enough rural people for them to be a majority of the Republican party.
