This point is very underappreciated in many political corners, including Lemmy.

Yeah that’s why I put it 2nd. It is not 2nd in people’s minds. But it is the 2nd most serious thing in reality.

Curious, coming from a LW account

Why are you curious. On a decentralized platform, It matters where you post TO, not where you post FROM. Anybody can easily switch to posting from another platform.

Thanks for the list!

I’ve heard bad things about hexbear and beehaw. But I looked at these other two.

[email protected] – unfortunately too many dumb restrictions.

Rule: Title must match the article headline <-- definitely a deal killer because often journalists use dumb headlines or leave the most important things out of the headline.

Rule Recent (Past 30 Days) <-- also a deal killer. Relevant is more important the recent. They are not the same things. “Recent” is only an imperfect proxy for “relevant”.

[email protected] – We have a winner!

Rule: Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech. <-- perfect

I would also welcome suggestions for “news” groups outside of lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. [email protected] is okay so far but I’m always looking for possible alternatives.

It doesn’t matter where your account is. If someone kills your account you can quickly switch to another lemmy instance and resub to all your communities.

I have had content nuked first from [email protected] and then from [email protected] and as a result I rarely use them to submit content. I specifically went to [email protected] because [email protected] was censoring my content.

Or are you just saying its too big?

It’s too big. And it has dumb restrictions like no video content. But also, I had a very popular posting just completely nuked by the mod of [email protected] and the entire advanced discussion was suddenly lost, forcing me to recreate the discussion on [email protected]. Ever since I’ve been posting content to lemmy.ml instead of lemmy.world. Mainly important things missing from [email protected] or that they took down.

But aside from all that, we absolutely need redundancy on lemmy for major stuff like news and politics. Mods will abuse their power because they all want to “control the experience” instead of just do the basics. I’ve also had content nuked for no reason on [email protected] also and as a result I mostly use [email protected] instead although I’m open for alternate news site suggestions too.

You just make an announcement on the community, or on [email protected] if you are splitting from a power tripping mod.

How does this work? Are you just talking about starting a new group on the same server?

We have a distinct lack of skilled workers, and in a variety of types/areas.

No we do not. That’s propaganda from the wealthy elites to drive down American wages. There are tons of people even in STEM or computer fields who can not get jobs in their majors.

This is exactly what happened during the days of “No Irish Need Apply”. The big difference here is that it would only apply to college graduates.

It’s totally different. The “No Irish” signs were about people who had already immigrated here. That stuff was both racist and completely pointless since they were all already here and obviously needed to work. Nothing to do with today. Trump’s going to hand out green cards to the entire world to come here and work an American job. China alone has 1.2 billion people. India alone has 1.4 billion people. Basic law of supply and demand. Increase supply of workers and lower wages and working conditions and worker bargaining power. Also, good luck getting your kid into college ever again.

We need large “sibling” instances rather than monoliths like .world, which is to say nothing of the politics of the instance.

Absolutely 1000%

This also highlights the destructiveness of toxic moderation. There is plenty of it here too

I can’t believe that lemmy mods/admins still think they have the luxury of making bone headed moves in a decentralized network. I am determined to get around this and it is the entire reason I am on a decentralized system. We vote with our feet and in the long term it will all work out. I am looking for suggestions for a politics group that is not lemmy.world and not lemmy.ml.

Geez even with decentralization we still have people making bone headed decisions. What is the best/strongest politics group that is not lemmy.ml nor lemmy.world?

Geez I can’t believe a major group was nuked just like that. I never noticed anything about it being unmoderated but thank you for providing the explanation.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

The Neofascist threat to America and democracy and the rule of law.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Nuclear Proliferation resulting from Treason Trump’s New World Disorder. Every country and their brother is going to scramble for nuclear weapons now.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Climate Chaos. NASA says this causes increased hurricanes, droughts, floods, wildfires, heat waves, and rising sea levels. All of which cause economic hardships and death.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

The Corrupt Supreme Court enshitifying our country by inserting radical changes in the constitution.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Increased National Debt caused by gigantic GOP tax cuts for the wealthy

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Abortion bans. This has been killing women who didn’t even want abortions by denying them appropriate medical care

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Income inequality. We are caught in a vicious circle where gigantic GOP tax cuts for the wealthy give them more money to enshitify the country which results is more gigantic GOP tax cuts for the wealthy. Rent seekers always pull up the ladder for those coming up behind them.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on:

Trump’s promise to billionaires to drive down wages by giving away unlimited green cards to foreign workers who graduate from American colleges.

You aren’t that special. Universal health care works. Gun control works. Mandatory voting works. All of these things have been tried in other countries and have been policy for decades or centuries in those countries.

You are absolutely ruining our conservatives’ simple minded theories with all your real world facts. All of their ivory tower theories start out with the assumption that you do not exist.

e.g. “If people can get free health care they will go to see doctors just for fun and then things will cost too much!”

I just see a bunch of crazed orcs with blond hair dye when I look at the picture.

ChromeOS though isn’t actually suitable for running servers like Windows and Linux are. It can’t do nearly the same number of things

ChromeOS literally is Linux so obviously it can do everything that Linux can. It is effectively a SUPERSET of Linux

Second all kernel mode code lives on the filesystem.

Now you are being ridiculous. We are talking about code than runs in the kernel but is not part of any official kernel module including device drivers.

How did you think it worked?

What I thought is that you had common sense.

You keep showing me again and again that you don’t understand the world of computers and modern IT infrastructure. Do you even have any qualifications or work experience in IT?

Dude you are the person who thinks that the cloudstrike code running in the kernel that is neither part of the kernel nor part of any official kernel device driver code is somehow equivelent to the actual kernel. You are also the person who made the completely nonsensical claim that ChromeOS Linux “can’t do nearly the same things” of Linux. So GTFO with the snarky shit, because I’m the one wondering how you can be so confused about basic stuff.

Do you even have any qualifications or work experience in IT?

I’ve been using the internet since 1983. How bout you? LMFAO.

There is also none of this VMs inside VMs stuff you were talking about.

Because you didn’t do enough research. My Chrome OS comes with an outer VM, an inner VM, the heavily locked down user mode, and the kernel mode. My Linux programs run in the outer VM by default. I would have to turn on developer mode just to get to the actual user mode.

Convicted Criminal and Sex Offender Treason Trump is always the exact opposite of what he calls himself.

“very stable genius”? Nope. Deranged idiot.

I am really really liking her. A lot. She is giving me rockstar vibes like Obama.

And we have the most powerful military in the world.

Yep. Ohio is full of Union troops. Although so are the other 49 states.

I would like to see Cory Booker or Pete Buttigieg. Mark Kelly would be okay too though.

Sure I’ve got lots of evidence.

https://www.security.org/antivirus/chromebooks/

[There’s no question that, when it comes to viruses and other forms of malware, Chromebooks are safe. How safe? Well, the website CVE Details1 lists just 55 vulnerabilities for Chrome OS. Compare that to 1,111 vulnerabilities for Windows 10, and a whopping 2,212 for Mac’s OS X; with five percent as many vulnerabilities as its closest competitor, it’s a pretty simple matter to declare Chromebook the safest option…there’s no question that Chromebooks are among the most secure computers you can buy]

55 vulnerabiilites for Chrome OS vs 1111 vulnerabilities for Windows. Huge difference.

Rather the file the module reads was updated and replaced with a corrupted version that causes the module to crash when it tries to read it.

Yes it was a ridiculous system to have kernel mode code on the filesystem. Even if a bad pointer didn’t crash the system a hacker could have put in their own code. And yes such a terrible security system would have affected Linux too. But with ChromeOS, the system is already secure. No need to use a terrible security system like Cloudstrike in the first place.
