Mint is fairly secure by default.
That said, nothing listed in the article is bad for your security, all pieces of advice do make sense in certain scenarios, but this is generally considered an overkill for home use.
If you’re an average user, don’t bother yourself with it.
If you download a lot of music and hook it up to a file server/NAS, it then kinda is.
Although it will miss the recommendations. For that, you can use ListenBrainz.
continuous development and progress
Lol
Ordi might be wrong in their approach to the correction, but our communications are, indeed, littered with words that are meant to emphasize something, but are instead so commonplace that they don’t mean anything anymore.
Fucking. Literally. Really. Actually. Insane. Unbelievable. Bizarre. Big. You name it.
In an era of everyone constantly screaming on the Internet while sitting there on the couch with zero emotions, it would make sense to step down and revisit the way we approach the language - and our experiences when facing such content.
The joke would absolutely be better off without the word “fucking”.
I see, thanks!
Fedi is mostly hostile to the idea of crypto, which is why such projects are commonly a no-go for this audience.
6 years is a fairly long run, so I hope tokenomics was somehow figured out.
Advertising is something commonly rejected; I too see this as a strong negative. Paid boosting of genuine content is not great, but I’ll take it.
Question: what advantages does it have over hosting your own fedi server? Anonymity? Not having to invest in hosting to get more control? Not having to build federated connections and rediscover communities?
Reading more about it, I see it’s based on a blockchain, with Pocketcoin token serving as a currency to incentivise node operators.
So, do I understand it right that every action and piece of media is distributed around all nodes, which are incentivised by crypto to keep going? And that user doesn’t normally operate a node per se, but has an account, similar to a crypto wallet, on this blockchain? Also, do node maintainer rewards come from users or the emission pool?
For now it looks to me like a terribly scalable and wasteful system with potential for monetary enshittification. Also, financing is unclear: if it’s on users, barely anyone is gonna pay for everything they publish. If it comes from the pool, even if it is diminishing like with Bitcoin, what would generate demand for the token? Governance?
But I might not see everything
What are the advantages over Mastodon? Is it compatible with ActivityPub?
Finally, Hannah Montana!
Glory to the heroes and all that, but gloating over the destruction is never cool.
Particularly terrible when Russians do that, but always bad no matter who says it.
There, the solution!
Repay everyone exactly as much tolerance as they give to you
Admin options would be cool - although this would exacerbate the issue of picking an I stance and then figuring out your pick was wrong for your purpose. Fediverse generally tries to avoid that.
Thank you!
Nice, thanks! Didn’t know of those contacts
Now that sounds scar®y
Without compression, every instance would have to deal with issues of free space, which is very sensitive when we talk about small servers ran on good will of the people.
I think the above was a light-hearted joke. Your answer might be useful for newbies, though
While there are some points worth discussing in the article, I want to raise an issue with the community itself, since it’s actually fairly adjacent.
If you look through it, majority of posts in the community that calls itself “Men’s Liberation” is really not about, well, men’s liberation. It’s about how men should adapt to the realities of modern feminism, without getting a set at the table to discuss how it affects them and what they would’ve done differently. It just straight up mirrors feminist talking points and rephrases them to have “men” in the name.
Don’t get me wrong: feminism tackles important questions, but it always looks at issues through the women’s perspective, which might miss the unique circumstances men find themselves in and their angle with the issues raised. Since the community claims to come from the men’s side (it’s in the name), I find it deeply disingenuous and concerning.
