This is why the relived past is a trap for the mind.

Privacy Concerns on Lemmy: A Call for More User Control (github.com)

I’ve been grappling with a concern that I believe many of us share: the lack of privacy controls on Lemmy. As it stands, our profiles are public, and all our posts and comments are visible to anyone who cares to look. I don’t even care about privacy all that much, but this level of transparency feels to me akin to sharing my...

Although I agree that is how things work now, one could imagine a different approach:

For instance, I could maybe control who my content gets federated to. That is, if I decide I don't particularly want my content blasted to certain places that my instance would not call any blocked ones with my data.

If that causes some issues with ActivityPub, you can imagine encrypted blobs that could only be opened by others with a shared key.

We don't need to achieve perfection out of the gate, to me these questions are worth discussing so that we can build out more high quality tech for the fediverse, let's not try to just immediately shut down discussion.

Star Citizen, Valve's long delayed first foray into the world of MMOs.

The Irish government wants to pass a law that could see you or your loved ones jailed for possession of memes, cartoons or any content that could be deemed "hateful".

The Bill includes no definition of hate and is wide open to abuse by bad actors. Defend free speech – say no to this legislation, and any legislation of is kind… Anywhere!...

honestly the lamest and funniest bit.

Perfectly ties the whole thing up in a bow: can't even technically manage a domain name change.

For real something was wrong with the TOS stunt coordinator or something.

lol at the idea of 2019, or really anything post 2016 being a good year to go back to.

    Any episode involving the prime directive in TNG, basically. Picard has to be convinced to do the right thing by others in violation of the prime directive.

    Fuck the prime directive. Most amoral thing I ever heard of. Any officer who actually respects it is suspect.

    Picard (who I love dearly) is written SO BADLY around the prime directive that episodes involving it are difficult to watch.

    Fuck the prime directive.
