City Skylines Team to their fans: We’re sorry. Making good.

Hey OP — did you make this meme? Do you really have a 2 active users instance of Lemmy. If so… you make it seem like something manageable…

Do you know if I could run an instance with a raspberry Pi?

I’m thinking of a summer project… I know there’s a big learning curve but it might be fun?

So basically the only thing protecting our anonymity is the relative unpopularity of Lemmy?

Is it possible a film studio, or legal agency, could set up a Lemmy Instance and then capture all our IPs?

It is my hope that Privacy is the community for this. I think freedom to use browsers the way we intend is a privacy issue.

We have likely all seen or heard that the “Select All” option has been removed from Safari — don’t hate me, I won’t be doing apple again.

That said, manual SELECTING of text still exists.

Here’s the privacy issue:

When I SELECT a small amount of text, I am offered the COPY option.

When I SELECT a few hundred words, even at Gutenberg, I’m given zero time to hit the copy button.

Just now I shifted to Firefox and had zero problem doing what I needed to do.

Could other interested folks confirm this SAFARI bug/irritant/annoyance?

Here’s the page I was using:

https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/766/pg766.txt

In safari, check what happens if you try to copy five words vs. 300 words.

Listen — I’m just trying to get things straight. Isn’t this the very definition of a Shitpost?

I've been using some available on the Internet but recently they all look the same and they all ask for CAPTYA which is an obvious attempt to obtain ones true IP.

I'm new to privacy and hoping to learn more.

He stole that election fair and square.

I love that folks use these archive.org links like this one here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20231125030342/https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article281901303.html

How are they finding these or making them? Let’s say I’m reading NYTimes or something, what do I do to link to the same article but archived?

This ad was produced decades after the abolition of slavery. Yes, things were even worse during slavery. And slavers were not average people; they were scum then and now.

If I may, might privacy be both a personal, individual endeavor and a collective endeavor?

On the personal level, can’t we foil the corporate intrusion by choosing apps in the Fediverse?

And on the collective level, can’t promotion of the Fediverse help?

I’m aware that city and county records often contain my street address and that doesn’t bother me. I’ve got to pay taxes and vote.

But I look at it this way: that’s my front facing public identity. Basically the one I use at work that gets a paycheck. Not private. And yes, that’s a pity and that war is lost, but I lose nothing because of that.

But then there’s my identity that shares the goals of global groups that chafe against injustice and oppression. All that work separated from my public identity by multiple barriers. Personably not perfect privacy — watch The Conversation by Francis Ford Coppola for a discussion of perfect privacy.

Is this kind of approach practical and one that means we haven’t lost?

I hated the “lemming” association to Lemmy until I started seeing the “Let me” association.
