I get the temptation to feel that way, but this development should be seen as a really good thing.

1st we have started to electrify everything which is fantastic but it’s a Pandora’s box, no one can just put that technology back in the box and we’ll see continued development and improvement which reduces CO2 output.

2nd we needed a way to remove the extra CO2 from the atmosphere without overtaxing the environment, this should help us do that and get the planet back to a healthier position.

Depends on the person in question. Some don’t as you’ve said some do.

Source: I’m engaged to a Taiwanese person with family back in Taiwan. Her parents would hate it, her siblings laugh.

Thank you! I wish you the same

I’m not attempting to excuse the behavior by any means (no matter how much it sounds otherwise).

Just explaining that this is behavior we can and should expect from an authoritarian state with no regard for human rights. Hopefully that clarifies things a little bit.

Glory to Taiwan and their West Taiwan acquisition project!

Read the article, it’s no exploit, it’s China.

Honest question, how would they be able to do damage via the federation protocol?

My understanding was that it sends data regarding posts comments and actions to all servers.

The closest I thought I had was some kind of instance ban but while that gets federated, it doesn’t result in a ban elsewhere

Instance a bans user foobar Instance b sees this information but foobar is not banned by instance b.

We saw some of that with the hexbear drama a couple of months back

Honestly, with the user level blocking feature in personally against instance level blocking as well.

1. I strong believe in user choice. It’s clear from this thread that there isn’t an overwhelming majority in favor of instance blocking threads. There does not appear to be one that’s not in favor.

1a) if the instance held a vote on the matter id naturally accept the majority choice.

2. if privacy is a concern (which it should be because Facebook), we’re already screwed. Fediverse interactions (comments posts votes) are a matter of public record. So even if we block threads at the instance level, they can still zuck up our data so we’re not really gaining anything there.

Edit: if you’re going to down ote, be better than reddit and expand your thoughts. We’re here to discuss, not act like children redditors

Aah yes Taiwan and West Taiwan

You know that’s fair and I appreciate your follow up. I personally need to do some research on Rossman so for that thank you

I wouldn’t say it’s dishonest. I should say it’s discussion with the evidence that lead op to their point.

Using their data and our data leads us to an agreeable middle ground.

Good to know

They did until Ukraine bombed the shit out of the train tracks that were used for shipping them yesterday

Lol no that’s me making typos because tired

Alright cool, glad I wasn’t incorrectly remembering the definition. Thanks Björn

Ahh right right. Doesn’t it also need to be something incorrect too? Like a bunch of people remember x thing incorrectly.

Better be 5 minutes walking

Isn’t the mandala effect when we remember something that wasn’t true being true?

For example, that Melson Mandela died in prison.

Based on what you’ve described, it doesn’t sound like the Mandela effect at all but rather, you were grooving to an edited version of it.

Found an article.

https://www.hipaajournal.com/kroger-class-action-pharmacy-patient-data-disclosures/#:~:text=The supermarket chain%2C Kroger%2C is,parties such as Meta Platforms.

Having read it, this smells more like a legal firm that makes money from suing a shit ton of companies and occasionally being right ratherthan any real evidence of the patient data disclosure.

Can we get a link for something to the article?
