It makes me sad that progressive web apps were killed off

The face eating leopards are getting fat

My gay shows up as heavy avoidance lol

There are shrubs and Baptists I promise

Black Mesa State Park represents the cool part of the region pretty well

Well, they suggested a relatively small capacity in a mechanical drive

My main rig has 11TB, my media server two RAID1 arrays at 16TB and 18TB

It’s easy to get out of hand with media, games, lots of VMs, dedicated boot drives, etc

However, the former IT manager, Jonathan Katz, abused his managerial position and highly privileged account at a mobile telecommunications store to overcome security measures and perform unauthorized number ports.

As someone who worked in mobile phone sales: there are tons of people making 30k/yr that have the same “highly privileged account” this guy did. He seems to be on the IT side which would make it easier to track. Retail employees do this all the time and usually for less money. People come in with a fake ID and someone’s social and they walk out with a new phone activated with their phone number. An example is being made out of him, but I guarantee this issue is more systemic

If someone is willing to potentially trade their employment for $5k, the pay is probably low and the turnover is high. Aiding in identity theft is wrong, but five years in prison seems overkill

Have a friend affected by this incident directly. Pretty fucked situation all around. Colorado is the only state without licensing requirements for funeral homes or crematoriums. Looks like their “department of regulatory agencies” conducted a review and their recommendations will be discussed in the next state general assembly

Never heard of zig before, thanks

Little descriptor your browser has to tell websites what it is and where it comes from

The result was still unlabeled sexual content. They had categories specifically for that, but it was rarely adhered to from my own experience

If you’re complaining my perspective is reductive how is yours any different? You could argue whatever takes Omegle’s place will be worse, sure. I respect that you have a different opinion

I’ll adjust my complaint to the need for better AI moderation. You’re ignoring that the Omegle was shut down shortly after a lawsuit settlement surrounding child exploitation. I don’t personally believe organizations or people should be able to outgrow something like that without consequences

What was reductive about my description? I qualified my experience with the good and bad. My only real complaint was the lack of moderation. Lemmy has its issues, sure, but it has community driven moderation whereas Omegle had essentially zero. Not to mention the accessibility and notoriety of Omegle far exceeded Lemmy

I enjoyed having Omegle exist, and I’m happy there’s space for something else to take its place

That’s the only problem I see with the platform personally

Omegle has always been primarily men masturbating to (for?) random people on the Internet. It was kind of a cesspool from the beginning so you didn’t miss much

Anecdote for the road: I was in my early teens when Omegle was in its heyday. Even then it was a minefield of done people that wanted to roulette chat and men masturbating to primarily children my age. I met a lot of cool people to talk to and it was my first real personal/video interaction with people over the Internet

When I was about 13 I started getting on Omegle to have men masturbate to me and tell me I was pretty. They would always ask how old I was or that I looked young. Looking back I can see that as harmful behavior, but I was old enough to have a semblance of control to never share any identifiable information nor show my face. Basically, Omegle was my homosexual “awakening” as I hadn’t had those experiences up to that point

If a similar platform with maybe AI moderation came along I could get behind it. While I don’t view my experience as personally damaging, I can see the avenue for grooming and exploitation and I’m glad they finally shuttered

The orgasms are never as good in my experience

Kinda dick thing to say ngl

Mmmm yes 💚

Someday I’ll find my cute tall trans girl and we’ll love each other and commit horrible crimes together 💚💚💚

As a disclaimer, I’m someone relatively new to usenet

Usenet has provided a much more consistent option for media quality for my server. Most titles in the last 20-25 years have around ten distributions ranging from 720p to 4k. The biggest difference are downloads. It’s no contest: better bandwidth with much much more consistent speeds. You won’t stumble on something with one seeder on a 300kbps connection. There’s no requirement to seed content back, although I recognize that if you’re using private torrent trackers this is likely the case for you already

Overall I enjoy how much better usenet is to gather media from when it comes to the amount of time from request -> server availability
