I find it interesting that Meta Platforms, Inc., a company known for harvesting user data, is blocking some servers from fetching its public posts. They decided to implement a feature Mastodon calls Authorized fetch.
This was always going to happen. They will block agressively, because they can’t have their precious advertising money mixed with CSAM, nazis and other illegal content. And the fedi is full of that.
I’ve been using Debian since 1.3. Haven’t really ever needed anything else.
I did “experiment” a bit when the decision to go with systemd was taken, but in the end, most distros went with it and it really isn’t that big deal for me.
So it’s just Debian. I need a computer that works.
Who needs parody when these things write themselves
Gates is probably just as bad and evil as the global 0.1%:er billionaire cabal members come, but that site gave me a crackpot conspiracy brainrot.
There’s thousand different stats around this, but generally most analysts place consoles slightly ahead of PC with stronger growth potential, but it depends a bit where in the generation cycle they do their measurements.
Most of this has been overshadowed by mobile gaming though.
Smaller marketshare,
Pretty sure they’d release mobiile > console > PC if they could get away with it.
The PC release will be a year or so after to get people to double dip.
Might but much, much more likely, somewhere on that site was once something that was deemed malicious. The whole site (IP/domain) gets flagged. “Keygen.crack.Office365.exe.torrent” for example.
Well that was the most useless study I’ve seen in while. Torrent sites getting flagged as malicious. Who would have thought?
Ah ok, well LUKS in that case I guess
Because the more market share leads to better hardware and driver support
The Gnome devs say you don’t need a mascot.
I need Linux for my work, so it’s not really possible to switch.
I do keep a Windows machine for gaming at home though.
Right tool for the job and so on…
Lessons in Chemistry was fantastic
She was clearly one of the best characters in the show, so job well done.
Looks like pretty standard security attachment for contractors.
I see, I was wondering why a IT-Security workers were suddenly being called edgy kids. lol.
Yea, I know its the edgy kid distro
Huh?
It’s also a matter of scale. FB has 3 billion users and it’s all centralized. They are able to police that. Their Trust and Safety team is large (which has its own problems, because they outsource that - but that’s another story). The fedi is somewhere around 11M (according to fedidb.org).
The federated model doesn’t really “remove” anything, it just segregates the network to “moderated, good instances” and “others”.
I don’t think most fedi admins are actually following the law by reporting CSAM to the police (because that kind of thing requires a lot resources), they just remove it from their servers and defederate. Bottom line is that the protocols and tools built to combat CSAM don’t work too well in the context of federated networks - we need new tools and new reporting protocols.
Reading the Stanford Internet Observatory report on fedi CSAM gives a pretty good picture of the current situation, it is fairly fresh:
