Hey, at least cats have the decency to be in charging mode 23 hours a day.

Can move on it’s own?! Just what I always wanted! An obnoxious speaker creature that follows me around, “learns” about me, and never shuts the fuck up.

These guys have their fingers on the pulse.

In addition to what others have said, your server protects you from other servers.

Only your home instance has your login credentials. When you “go” to another server through yours, you aren’t actually going anywhere. Your server fetches it for you. No other server receives any identifying info about you. So you don’t need to vet every server you can access content from.

probably AI generated.

Unlikely.

It’s an instance rule. You can quote the article but it has to be covered under fair use. Typically 3-ish paragraphs or less, though fair use is murky.

Well let’s consider that misunderstanding corrected then. Thanks.

Isn’t people shifting their schedule by an hour and then back the entire reason the time change sucks? Who cares about “sun-noon connection” or the clocks “lying” to them?

Beans beans the magical fruit

I think the W3C SocialWeb Working Group is working on Federated Identity right now to incorporate into ActivityPub.

Yeah, I think people often assume that “good” federation means even user distribution. But the power of federation is that you can leave if you want to and no one can weaponize your social graph.

Happy cake day, r2o! Thanks for posting tons.

You can set up filters in both to do just that.

Doesn’t do what archive.today does, unfortunately. This article wouldn’t be available in wayback.

Not good, for sure. Sucks that there’s no working alternative. It’s trivial to not participate in the DDoS at least. uBO blocks it by default.

That doesn’t mention any Russian narrative. They altered a page as part of their personal grudge with that blogger. The same blog targeted in the DDoS attack.

Scroll down. Archive.today can archive things other services can’t. That’s why Wikipedia was in a panic about the verifiability crisis removing their 700 000 links would cause. Most can’t be replaced.

Okay, I’m just gonna explain where I’m at with this right now and why.

This isn’t a huge issue for this community but for our hard news discussion communities, abandoning archive.today would instantly make a large amount of news inaccessible (probably 1/3 or more, but that’s just a guess) to the vast majority. It could limit being fully informed to those with means. That would suck. It’s a real harm.

We’re in agreement that archive.today is problematic. We really need a working alternative. The ddos attack is shitty and immature. It’s a betrayal of trust. However, the victim stated in the Ars article you linked to that this hasn’t really had any discernible impact on them. So for now it’s a theoretical harm (and an abhorrent practice) vs a real harm.

For me, as it stands now, I’ll use alternatives where I can and use archive.today where I can’t because I care a lot about that harm. I’ll be ecstatic when a real alternative emerges. Like Wikipedia fell into different camps, we’re probably similar. I respect that you come down on this differently, but that’s where I’m at with this.
