You are absolutely a human being with dignity. I even have family who are Evangelicals and we get along well enough, though I dip whenever they try to bring up religion.

I was commenting on religion and its legacy. Of course you are not personally responsible for the Christianization of the world, or the cultural genocide of Indigenous people in residential schools.

I just think that the "I'm not like other Christians!" thing always rings a little hollow. You are a part of the religion that is the #1 weapon and driver of colonialist projects (including Canada!). The foundation is rotted.

Christian crusaders and missionaries forced people to adopt Christianity and genocided populations, erasing entire cultures, but now that Christianity is in the majority it's easy to say Christianity has nothing to do with imposing itself on the world. It's already been imposed.

Evangelicals overtly continue the evil legacy of their missionary forebears, but all of Christianity bears that legacy.

You would think...

This is interesting! I've been exploring this and it seems like a neat little license.

I'm not a lawyer, but one funny edge case I noticed is that the Extractive Industries module seems like it makes it a breach of license for crystal shops to use your software since you're involved in the sale of minerals.

I would tend to agree with FSF that it's not FOSS, though. There are so many restrictions on this license and who can use it, based on fairly arbitrary things like "if CBP claims you're doing forced labor" or "you do business in this specific region". It might be more moral, but it's a different approach than FOSS, which is less restrictive than more and prioritizes "Freedom" above everything else. Maybe it's time for a different approach, though?

Tbh Trek isn't very gay, it seems like most people are straight/gender conforming by default. There are only a few gay characters. Compare it to the Culture, where trying out new sexes and sexualities is so normalized that there's one character who's explicitly mentioned to be cishet and another character remarks it's weird that he's never explored his sexuality at all or tried changing his sex.

CGNAT is for IPv4, the IPv6 network is separate. But if you have IPv6 connectivity on both ends setting up WG is the same as with IPv4.

Yeah, I can see that. It's definitely more like a search index than a web crawler. It's not great at being a search index though, since it can synthesize ideas but can't reliably tell you where it got them from in the first place.

Calling it a web crawler is just innacurate. You can give it access to a web search engine, which is how the "AI search engines" work, but LLMs can't access the internet on their own. They're completely self-contained unless you give them tools that let them do other things.

Only the 14% statistic was explicitly about IPTV, the others are about "consuming content illegally". It seems like maybe there are multiple surveys involved?

Only giving a /64 breaks stuff, but some ISPs do it anyway. With only a /64 you can't subnet your network at all.

I really doubt it. We could give everyone on Earth their own /48 with less than 1% of the IPv6 address space.

Giving a /48 is spec, but a lot of ISPs are too stingy :/

It seems that the issue was resolved behind closed doors, so it could have been resolved behind closed doors to begin with, and then if the defederation was to go ahead simply announce the defederation.

Making an announcement "it will be defederated in 48 hours" made for this weird countdown drama thread (we even had programming.dev people show up and be sad about defederation!) that didn't really go anywhere, and then y'all just locked it when we refederated and made it clear that you were never interested in input and you'll be running the instance as you please (which is well within your rights of course). So what was the point of the thread?

I can see how it is nice to have warning if a community you're involved in is going to be defederated, but it also drags drama to our nice little corner of the fediverse, and pins it at the top of our feeds for all to see. In fact it shows up as the top of every feed for me, Local, All, and Subscribed. I can't get away from it.

Every time these threads show up they end up blowing up. Honestly, if you didn't make these threads, I wouldn't care who you defederate. But because the thread exists, I have to come in and I have to have an opinion. That's a personal issue and I recognize that, but I would hazard a guess that I'm not the only one. People who have never interacted with Blahaj nor the instance getting defederated show up in these threads sometimes. These threads invite drama, and for me personally, whenever they come up they make this space feel significantly less safe and make me want to leave Lemmy as a whole because it feels like it's just nonstop defederation drama for days at a time, but it's pinned at the top of my feed.

Maybe these threads actually provide utility, and I should just take these threads as a sign I should take a break from the Internet for a bit. But to me, they just seem like they're all downsides.

 

I know you're supposed to pronounce it along the lines of "blo-hi", but the Anglicized "blahaj" is so hard to resist!
