I have nothing constructive to add to the convo but I’ve seen a bunch of your comments, and I respect you a lot as a human being and I’m glad you’re on the fediverse

I try to block as little as possible personally, cuz the fediverse is small enough already lol. If it’s something you’d consider at all, I’d def prefer a tag on these posts to blocking either you (don’t wanna do that, I still like seeing your other posts and comments) or however many comms on subjects I’m interested in (def not doing that). If you don’t wanna tag the posts for ideological reasons that’s valid and no pressure tho

hey could you tag these posts something unique please? I appreciate that you’re posting them for people defederated from .ml but for those of us who see both it’d be nice to be able to filter the duplicate posts out

Can you elaborate on this? I’m guessing it’s related to the “lesbians drive Subarus” stereotype but I’ve always been curious why that stereotype ever existed

You’d be wasting your opportunity for powers, at this rate that’s coming up this year anyway

I get this perspective, but I don’t personally wanna use it cuz “costs advertisers” == “rewards ad companies” and it’s the ad companies I have a problem with more than whatever random company decides to pay for an ad. Punishing companies for intrusive advertising is great, but not if it’s making even more money for Facebook/google/whatever fucked up company is the actual driving cause of the ad industry’s state.

Fuck that platform, if it dies right now the world will be a better place overnight. That being said, I’m against it being banned - imo if we’re petitioning for anything, it should be to get governments off of it and onto better alternatives.

Yea this opinion gets dramatically worse if you enjoy the old American slave music too Edit: also I think people voting on your post might be forgetting the purpose of this sub a little lmao

Samsung in particular has “smart” monitors, so for some of them the answer is unironically yes

Markdown uses underscores for italic, which is why they also need to be escaped with backslashes.

Exactly, what can AHK do that a generic plasma shortcut plus a script in your language of choice couldn’t?
Genuine question, I haven’t looked at AHK in years

It physically hurts me to say anything in facebook’s defence, but to be fair this is an account centre link to an account config page

I didn’t consider account recovery, that’s a good point. Personally I don’t usually bother with it for anything I want to be private - if I lose it I lose it lol.
It’s still not perfect, but some of the private email hosting providers like proton have email aliases, so you could use one for recovery without giving any info to hackers (assuming you trust the email provider). Definitely less secure than only a public key being exposed, but maybe an acceptable tradeoff for the convenience of an existing established solution?

You rule out social networks, but why? Wouldn’t a fediverse microblogging (or full blogging) platform work fine for the purpose? Just pick an irrelevant username and a strong+unique password and only access your account through tor using any and all relevant best practices.
Given you want the continuity of the author preserved, I don’t see the functional difference between the posts being associated with an anonymous account and them all having your public key. Am I missing something?

In Canada we have Kijiji, which is… not perfect for privacy, but at least it’s not facebook
