Well shit.

I guess a better question then - when is the juice worth the squeeze?

Like, I’m sure that government agencies have an interest in tracking who is making what comments pseudonymously online, but it would take a lot of effort, computers, money, energy, etc to constantly scan and store information for everyone, right?

Which is where we get into different levels of security - I’m going to try harder to hide my identity if I were to pirate a movie vs browsing Wikipedia.

I guess the question is: who is motivated to collect what information, and what needs to be done to make that identifying information useless for them to connect the dots?

Although, what are the odds someone goes to the length to match writing style and personal details that you let slip while using a pseudonymous account against an online presence where you are identifiable?

I’m sure it’s possible, especially if there’s a reason you might be targeted, but I imagine it’s still pretty challenging and time consuming

It might help with depression and anxiety. Definitely not a cure (take your meds!), but spending time in nature, exercising, and mindfulness do all show some benefits for mental health

Yep, sounds like I’m the odd one out then. Although Lemmy is far from my only source of news and information

Maybe I’m the one that’s out of the loop, but I’d consider myself fairly informed and on the left, and I only think I’ve heard him speak once or twice. I don’t watch any streams though, so it could just be that I’m not part of that community

Is Hasan Piker really the biggest voice on the political left?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Are there any resources available for how to do this? I feel like I more or less understand how Docker works conceptually, but every time I try to actually use it, I feel in over my head very quickly

There was a time when I was worried about changing people’s minds and trying to see things from their side. It’s not worth the effort any more, at least for me. They’re dug in and want to argue, but they aren’t open to changing their minds.

I don’t feel like it’s my responsibility to tolerate their hatred to try to explain why they should care about people that aren’t like them. I’d rather spend time with the people that I feel safe around and know aren’t bigoted

Today, Macías Nguema is regarded as one of the most kleptocratic, corrupt and dictatorial leaders in post-colonial African history.

I have changed my mind, definitely not goals

Oof. That is bleak, and all the more so because you’re probably dead on

How is offering users the option to set a backup/recovery email a dark pattern?

I, too, enjoy being investigated by the USPIS

Who do you think you’re helping with this?

Thank you!

I’ve been interested in Zettelkasten for a few years, since I discovered Obsidian, but I’ve never been able to quite get the hang of it enough to make it stick

Haha well I feel less concerned now

Pretty cool. What does the planning and construction process look like that enables them to build out so quickly?
