Yeah that stopped on 09/12/2001.

What if I’m taking a shit???

On Linux, you’ll want to install figlet and toilet

I know you’re 100% serious, but this sentence sounds so made up and hilarious

I don’t doubt anything you said, except for the last paragraph.

Ken Bone did an AMA on the same account that he commented on porn subs with - that was not a result of surveillance programs.

Self hoster here, im nuking all of pictrs. People are sick. Luckily I did not see anything, however I was subscribed to the community.

• Did a shred on my entire pictrs volume (all images ever):

sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs -type f -exec shred {} \;

• Removed the pictrs config in lemmy.hjson

• removed pictrs container from docker compose

Anything else I should to protect my instance, besides shutting down completely?

I was on the original Silk Road back in the day, those were the golden years. I don’t fuck with drugs anymore because even the non-hard stuff is completely tainted with fetanyl these days.

If it helps, there’s a 99.9% chance they just take your money and not send any drugs

People that hate communists tend to also be people who hate LGBTQ+, liberals fit this category (like blahaj 196 with its huge “anti-tankie” banner) they are just better at smiling and covering up their hatred of you.

Like I’m not getting ahead no matter how hard I try

If you’re American, this may be why. 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level.

You are seeing the effect of America’s deeply rooted culture of anti-intellectualism and the decades-long Republican crusade to gut the public schooling system.

Hexbear is a leftist instance. People interpret any criticism of Democrats as coming from the right instead of the left.

Also, Hexbear refers to both Dems and Republicans as liberals. In the US, “liberal” usually only refers to social liberalism. The definition of liberalism elsewhere in the world includes liberal conservatism.

Oops, thank you for the heads up!

I see this as a plus. People have a right to be forgotten. The problem nowadays is that companies track you and keep all your data forever and then use it to advertise to you.

At the very least, data collection and preservation should be explicitly opt-in.

Makes sense. I don’t know why, but I somehow read the original comment to mean that Americans were randomly dead on the side of the road, sans car. Lol

Not only is this racist but it’s lazy and unfunny too, even without the racism. Who buys discs anymore? Are you a boomer?

Why are they dying on the roads?

Haven’t been back to Reddit. It’s going great. Mostly I am relieved I don’t have to see that fucking Jesus ad anymore.

Interesting, thanks for the link - at the very least, things are trending upwards so fingers crossed we are through the worst of it for the time being. Which is probably 8-10 years, it is cyclical.

This is aimed at the person i originally responded to. General thoughts about about political agendas couched in loaded language below. Nothing is apolitical, and everyone has an agenda. The key is to figure out what it is.

“Worst recession since 2008” is one of those phrases that sounds almost like the economy is just as bad as 2008, but actually doesn’t mean much of anything.

For demonstrative purposes I’ll use some arbitrary numbers here.

If we rated the 2008 recession at an 10/10 on the badness scale, rated any recession between 2009-2022 as a 2/10 at the most, and rated the current recession we’re in at say, a 4 - I could say that this is the worst recession since 2008, and it would not be untruthful.

Language is deceptive.

But Lemmy can literally do this. I am doing it right now. I’m the only user on my instance.
