Also Named Bort 🇨🇦 @terryenglish@librem.one

things ihatebeinga.live has done to get cancelled:
- posting too many cute anime girls
- being far too tame and lacking in drama
- having well-behaved bots that don't follow anyone
- allowing speaking to nice people from wherever they might be
- enforcing a basic and created-and-agreed-on-by-users ToS

truly despicable behaviour, domainblock needed

I love this post:

"When we first approached hardware manufacturers almost two years ago with this project most of them instantly said “No, sorry, impossible, we can not help you.”. Others warned us, that it could never work, that it was too complicated, “the industry does not do that” and so forth.

And yet here we are, later than we wanted, but we are actually shipping first hardware! It is possible but it comes at a price." #Librem5

We are delighted to share that early yesterday we shipped the first #Librem5 Birch devices to backers https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-birch-shipping-announcement/

Is Corbyn more anti-semitic than Trump is racist and sexist? Or are the special interests just scared of somebody who looks at the world very differently and won't be pressured into the same old policy?

Like has **anybody** on the tumblrverse called that shit out as, at a minimum, shit stirring?

Like they literally, correctly, define racism as "putting one race above another out of the belief that one is inherently better" directly after saying "only specific races will be called out"... That honestly reads like a low-effort troll

@r000t @kazuma to be fair they're going to get a lot of block recommendations from Mastodon too - nobody there likes TERFs either

@mewmew
That's.... Absolutely hilarious.

I really wanna spin up an instance with literally the same ToS with those words sed'd and clock the Mean Time Between OFFICIAL INSTANCE BLOCK RECOMMENDATIONS

Where the fuck is this? That's worse than playvapid

Many tech companies tout #privacy and security features that coincidentally also increase their own control and your dependence on them.

In this case, the feature protects user location data from competitors but not from Apple:

every hackernews ipv6 thread

ipv4 exhaustion is coming soon, <insert something here> is running out of ipv4's
ipv6 will solve this
YAY
ipv6 also gets rid of NAT allowing people to self-host effectively
actually NAT is good because you need a firewall
also I turn off ipv6 because it's insecure

and then you have a hundred-comment thread about why NAT isn't actually a good firewall and all the benefits of ipv6 over ipv4 EVERY SINGLE TIME

@terryenglish I'm also surprised that The Amazing Atheist still exists
