Yeah - in article, it reads the resolution of data is significantly higher.

*Sorta. ICANN has a special relationship with ccTLDs. Registries of gtlds can’t put an A record at the root tld.

Don’t forget countries. A few, I don’t have a list, but including .ai, .pn, are in full control of their domains and do it all on their own infra.

Mostly I just hate the dialogue that people think WE are akin to a language model, where prompts go in and actions come out… it’s a gross misrepresentation of the human brain, and we don’t even know much of how it works, but we do know we don’t spit outputs based solely on inputs.

I’ve seen the opposite. A few days into the blackout, I saw someone post this meme about dictatorships where they (literally) put a picture of Spez right next to Tiananmen Square

Was the infant alright? AHT is no joke

Zorin seems good. I unfortunately had crashing issues with it, but that was a long time ago (a few years, but I think it was in beta back then).

Interesting, but probably harmless if it’s one-shot. In general, it seems like a bad idea. Not any better or worse than other recommendations systems. Mozilla should look into FHE.

Mint has always been my go-to grandma-friendly system. I remember using it when I was in my single-digit years. Most intuitive operating system ever. :)

+1 on Skiff. E2EE intra- and inbound. Great service, greater support. Free custom domains setup (& catchall aliasing!!!). Comes with a Drive, Pages, and Calendar suite.

Ubuntu is lame. OP conveniently missed LM (desktop users) and Debian (servers)

Why are people pretending this isn’t an issue??? Of course it is lol.
Luckily the fix is also easy: an image proxy server. Mail clients do this already.
It exposes the bigger problem with Lemmy: lack of auditing.

You’re probably fine, but I recommend just getting a free VPN to keep your ISP at bay. I don’t like Proton, but they do have a free VPN. Google around and you can find some others too, if that one is too slow

hint: nothing is stopping you

I see monero pretty widely adopted! But not near Bitcoin and even BCH might have a little more traction.

I’ve kinda seen monero as a truly peer-to-peer currency because most central exchanges don’t ever want to touch it :)

I’m also disappointed that we now have AI browsers, which is scary and not a good direction to go in.

Out of pure curiosity, why do you say this? In context of something like ChatGPT, it makes sense, but what do you think about stuff like local LLMs as assistants and embedded in browser infra?

You probably saw some (mostly fraudulent) ads. Dread is where most of Tor’s public content can be found; but, yeah, crypto (specifically Bitcoin and Monero) are the standards there.

FHE solves that through and through, as has been documented widely, but that’s overengineering when you could just use plain ZKP.
Zero-knowledge voting is here and has been for a while now.

The stuff listed in OP doesn’t really seem like much concern. “What you put on the internet is there forever!” is completely true, and things like this should only make it more concrete that you can’t rely on your service provider to delete information somebody else already archived.
With that being said, default privacy settings - at least on Kbin - seem pretty bad.

I thought votes didn’t federate yet anyways… but, yes, it is possible, and i can come up off the top of my head with three or four potential implementations.
