There definitely are things you grow out of. Things you liked as a child, that maybe you remember fondly, or can categorise as ‘thing I liked’, but won’t entertain you as an adult. So I understand the core of what you’re saying. But there are more things you liked as a child that, assuming the thing and context hasn’t changed, you would still like as an adult. Did you like Pizza at 13? Did you stop liking Pizza since? Or chocolate cake. Or beer. Or the film Back to the Future?

The things you liked about Minecraft are still around in modern Minecraft. It’s more likely that you’ll still like it on the same merit than that it appealed to a part of you that has changed.

The game came out in 2009. If you started playing as a two-year old child then, you’d be an adult now. A thirteen-year-old child would be a thirty-year-old adult.

Free speech (…) isn’t supposed to (…) guarantee the opportunity to (speak) on other people’s private platforms.

That defense works if PieFed is advertised as Remu’s private fiefdom. It’s a space for all the Remu fans to hang out and say things Remu wants to hear.

Do you feel that is how PieFed is advertised?

So ignoring the censorship aspect entirely: Admins are asked if they wish to block right wing domains, and then if they say yes, the software blocks (some right wing domains and) left wing investigative journalism sites like The Gray Zone. Russian news sites like RT, Sputnik and TASS, Harry Potter related sites, all of Telegram, vk.com (Russian-language social media site), Video hosts like Peertube and Rumble.

Is the whole reason you made this list so you could sneak in some personal vendettas? Also pretty suspicious that the BBC isn’t on there. Or CNN. Or WaPo. Or Ynet. Or Mako. Or Times of Israel. Or DW. Given the era we live in, and their complicity in genocide, surely that’d be a higher priority than almost any other website if you’re aiming to block harmful news sites with right wing editorial lines.

Steam used to upload your whole resolver cache to Valve (So they could sidestep things not showing up in history when you use private-browsing). And they’re mandated to share everything they have on you with the NSA. So if you’re coming at this from a “I’ll trust Steam but not Wukong” angle, then yes, you are unreasonable. If you’re coming at this from a “All these private Chinese companies have insane privacy policies and send me hundreds of cookies, I’m not trusting anyone they work with!” angle then that’s completely reasonable. Closed source software is never safe, and capitalism doesn’t reward treating your customers well.

Is this even the privacy forum? A lot of people here implying OP should consent to the spying for better service. Cloudflare absolutely does gather as much as Google, and with much deeper access. If you can go without those websites, then block Cloudflare.

Do you have even one bit of anecdotal evidence that he has fixed or improved anything? Or maybe a plan where there would be a dip and then a projected growth and we’re in the dip-phase per his proposed timeline?

male only spaces could be a clutch until men get better at talking with women.

You’re not really making a good case for the inclusion of women in those sessions.

non-judgmental, but by women and men alike.

But it’s understood that the men in these spaces are already non-judgemental, or they wouldn’t work. But your comment makes it very clear who you put the blame on. As long as men right now are able to feel safe among other men and not in mixed groups, men’s groups should be encouraged.

Yes, the support group teaching masking is teaching a toxic culture, but if it’s necessary, it’s also teaching survival. It’s okay for any individual man or group of men to want to keep their head down and not be the driver of societal change.

It’s so obviously and unashamedly driven by the empire, so why do you give the empire’s news reporting any weight at all?

If you have an open browser tab, it can pull info from it.

Please elaborate on what you mean here.

I feel the same way about smartphones but it’s now completely normalised. Glasses are less paranoia-inducing since you can clearly see where it’s pointed and it’s at eye-level. I’d rather discourage smartphone use than smart-glasses use.

“Oh don’t worry, ChatGPT can just type that text in for you when you need it”. /s

If you’re referring to touch screen users, then I don’t see how not having copy/pasting work when you plug in a mouse benefits them normally when they don’t have mice plugged in.

The idea of learning three languages through an app at once in a short period is silly. Which one of these languages do you actually stand a chance at becoming fluent in? Are you already conversational? It’s a much lower bar to be able to hold a conversation with someone who’s trying to teach you the language and is patient with you than what’s needed for every day life. But if you can meet that bar today you’ll probably be able to learn the language well too.

I assure you the Dutch speak Dutch. Many Dutch people also know English because it’s a mandatory subject in school, but if I said that in the UK they don’t speak English, and that they all speak French, would you think I was accurately describing the situation in the UK?

Yes but why Lemmy? There are more mature forum softwares. Your proposal doesn’t benefit from federation and doesn’t benefit from a UI optimised for discussing external links. You can of course continue using your real-ID account and interact with the Fediverse that way but no one else is doing real-ID so I don’t see that as a positive.

It does also suplex dragons onto your house.

Discord is private social media, and most users think their messages aren’t shared with government without a warrant. Of course it’s possible in this case Discord didn’t even provide the messages “to police”, but that the police just subscribe to their commercial data-sharing and enjoy the same real-time access that way.

Bruv, OP asks ‘What’s your stance on Genocide?’ and then refers to Ukraine and China rather than Israel, that’s bad enough, but then the PieFed guy replies with that ‘they ban speech which minimises atrocities committed by Hamas in Gaza’! Sheesh.
