Are the drivers Tokyo drifters? Cause that could explain it

It’s static between changes

I’m left in Canada which is the US equivalent of a more left leaning Bernie Sanders. I’m a veteran, I have a rifle, and I support increased gun controls. Granted my rifle is hot pink so it’s not exactly combat ready.

Maybe it’s ten Zs or iron

An influx of folks moving away from US social media companies. The the twitter exodus of late 2022 but for all US platforms

I’m sure some servers will struggle with a huge influx but the fediverse as a whole would be ok.

applying for an Irish passport (Irish grandfather)

That’s how I got my Irish citizenship. I applied after Brexit so I could keep my EU citizenship.

AFAIK, you can’t enter the UK using your Canadian passport if you’re a British citizen. You need to enter the UK using a British passport as a British citizen. I have Australian, Canadian, British, and Irish citizenship. It’s a lot in passport fees.

Yes you can

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

I’m not a conservative and I agree with you.

How old is your son?

How many of those 200 applications did you deliberately install? That seems excessive even for all of those use cases.

And can you elaborate on these use cases, like I’m not sure why you would want a specific VM for bash scripting.

 
 
 

The arguments I've heard about tracking etc are misguided and don't understand the actual risks.

Firstly, posts on the fediverse are already likely being consumed by advertising platforms like Facebook & Google. It would be trivial for big tech companies to setup relays that act as scrapers.

Secondly, the value in platform's tracking individuals is for advertising. There is no mechanism for these platforms to identify you browsing the we if your instance federated with threads. Your instance won't share cookie sessions etc with threads. It doesn't increase your exposure.

Thirdly, these platforms have the know how to deal with spam and they will be incentivised to share that tech with other federated instances.

Don't get me wrong, Facebook is an evil company. But I haven't heard a decent argument as to why them joining the fediverse is a bad thing. We always have the option to defederate in the future.

Change my mind.

 

Please don’t ask why I need this.

It would be great if the food also made me sweat a lot.

It doesn't need to be something I can easily find.
