There s a place where you can name and shame in a permanent searchable record: https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/Main_Page
Be the change you want. We can it.
Not gonna lie. The analogy of native americans vs palestinians doesnt click for me. There were jews christians muslims living in relative peace before the plan of an israel was shoved down people throats in the region. This wasnt a new big island discovered by accident.
I would agree though that human life is equally important and displacing humans forcefully is always a terrible crime if this is what the analogy implies.
I was having trial fasting (ramadan) days when I was a kid and another kid offered me some almonds, I ate them in a heartbeat and forgot entirely about the fasting. It was really early in the day. So yeah, healthy and delicious food gets me even when I am deeply committed to something.
That’s true. Scrapping is a gold mine for the people that don’t know. I worked for a place which crawls the internet and beyond (fetches some internal dumps we pay for). There is no chance a zip bomb would crash the workers as there are strict timeouts and smell tests (even if a does it will crash an ECS task at worst and we will be alerted to fix that within a short time). We were as honest as it gets though, following GDPR, honoring the robots file, no spiders or scanners allowed, only home page to extract some insights.
I am aware of some big name EU non-software companies very interested in keeping an eye on some key things that are only possible with scraping.
I remember the millionaire who wanted to prove that he could rebuild his wealth if he started from scratch again. He cheated a little bit because he used his friend apartment for free.
Fast forward, he gave up after a couple of months and understood what the rest of us knew for ages.
Wealthy people are delusional and no amount of reasoning will work with them.
To me it’s a feature and not a problem to have less people. I had more online human interaction in lemmy than I had anywhere else (except maybe facebook in early times). Look at Reddit now, good luck interacting with real genuine people. Everyone is shilling something and nobody is honest, plus the low quality posts count growing.
I saw some studies a few years ago on how people are less interested in traditional social media and more interested in instant messaging 1to1 and small group chats. Also something about how group chats become dead after they exceed a couple hundred members.
Just to say, I am more happy with the way things are in lemmy. I appreciate all aspects of Lemmy really.
I see. I can use torrent without VPN in my location but I get it.
Blocking VPNs is a nightmare for governments. Some companies rely on them for normal operation. I doubt western countries will take such path due to the economic impact of it. You got also ways to bypass blocks, new obfs protocols popping up everyday, residential proxies, tor, i2p,… So yeah, you need a full time large team working to keep up with some of that for a full implementation. How China didnt give up on that yet is beyond me TBH.
IMO, it s not something we should worry about it now.
