Who’s willing to scale it up? China probably
I am pretty sure I remember reading in the latest changelog that they just added it? At least on the backend they did. Probably didn’t work out the frontend features for it.
I’m not sure why. Maybe should ask them.
I don’t have a link, but the lemmy creators (and maintainers of join-lemmy) answered this in a AMA about a month ago. They said they’d prefer the horrible people concentrate in their own instances so we can block them easily rather than have them in our instances. The join lemmy list does not serve as an endorsement, but a catalog of all available instances.
This is how we will likely end up paying for services AND STILL having our data sold. It’s just the nature of capitalism. Businesses have to grow, and in today’s world selling data is always the natural progression towards it.
A parallel example is streaming services starting out as “tv but no ads and on demand!” or “just pay for the service and you won’t see ads!” but now we are paying and there’s still ads.
Businesses like this always end up veering towards changing privacy policies to the worse.
And depending on your threat model, not even a good privacy policy is enough.
I second the others. It is the #1 privacy VPN. It is also fairly priced, imo. Be careful and consider your threat model. VPN is not fool proof.
You live in the country with the most resilient system serving ruling class interests. There’s so many levels to keep you occupied trying to penetrate, but you will never win this game if you play it like that.
It is quite rare for an election as major as a senator’s not be won by someone backed by money interests. Even their opponents are usually backed by interests. The mere prospect of running requires funds that most people don’t qualify for. Just check the wealth of the poorest senator.
But even if you manage to penetrate this, you’ve only won one seat. Is that enough to make meaningful change? I’m yet to see that in action.
But even if your party of choice wins the Senate. If you’re anything older than a teen, you’ll remember the “ahh, darn! We only have the house but not the Senate!”. But when you win both, “ahh, we have Congress but not the president! This maniac just throws executive orders left and right! We’re so powerless”. But then you win the presidency and suddenly we all forgot about executive orders. Oh wait, you forgot about the supreme court! Guys we just have to wait until they die. Don’t worry, it’ll happen any minute now. Oh no don’t die during trump! Should’ve died during Obama. Oh wait one of them did. Wait what?
Yeah if you want meaningful change, this ain’t it.
They’re more likely to get re-elected by pleasing the ruling class than your average Joe. It’s what got them there in the first place.
If you want to make real change, threaten the ruling class directly. Cut out the middleman.

Not useful. And I doubt they are ignorant of our existence.
Exiting cloud being useful seems to be a very narrow use case.
For one, you have to be at a large enough scale where buying and hosting your own infra is feasible and cheaper.
Second, you have to give up the ability to almost instantly scale up or provision hardware in response to traffic or other events. (which is very common at scale)
Maybe his use case happens to be that very narrow case, but this isn’t something I would take as general advice.
How come it didn’t stop working yet?
It’s gotta be pretty difficult to differentiate human users from bots. If it was easy, you could prevent bots from loading the page altogether.
Who uses a system for only few minutes?
If you are doubting that this is one of the most frequently occurring security issues, I urge to search the web about it. It’s very easy to verify my claim.
It is one of the most well known, but it also is easy to miss, evidently from how often it happens despite it being very well known.
It’s very easy to fix once it’s known, but it is easy to go unnoticed.
Unless you somehow think that most app developers are incompetent, in which case I ask again: show me your better version.
It’s convenient to completely discredit a large piece of software taking years to develop as “insane” because they made a mistake (one of the most common security mistakes in the software world) when you don’t recognize the difficulty and wouldn’t be able to make something 10% as big.
And frankly it sounds silly.
I think most likely the website (instance) gets blocked in EU. Maybe they get a fine that they can’t force them to pay until they step foot into EU. I highly highly doubt they’d put the effort of extradition
There was a discussion about GDPR on mastodon github, and they seemed to conclude that GDPR does not apply to natural persons, which includes most instance admins who aren’t corporations or any entities, but just random people not profiting from anything.
Not sure how valid, since they aren’t lawyers.
Wouldn’t that be a less sustainable use of land?
I guess maybe not if we are talking tall building, where the roof surface area may not be sufficient for the entire building. But it would be a waste not to make use of all the unused rooftops
