Monkey With A Shell

Staying an order pending judicial review isn’t uncommon, particularly if it’s on matters far beyond the influence of that court.

That said, it’s not like this admin cares what any court says anyhow. The scotus could say in plain as day language ‘no you for sure can not do that’ and it’d get brushed off as irrelevant somehow.

Hard to say, things like Nextcloud, Immich, Emby, and Mealie probably get the most exercise, but being a tech person some of the more interesting are things like Security Onion and some of the infrastructure tools.

Yeah, though with things like the fediverse, generations that where born into the tech world (internet only really started to be a thing around high school for me, but my kids have never used dial up) and small cheap systems like raspberry pi I expect it’ll get much easier and hopefully more common.

Self host ALL the things. I know where all my pics and docs reside right here in my house.

I deleted one I didn’t even remember having. Something I created back when I first got a smart phone and as much as I recall think I used it for the primary phone login account and had my separate emails just in the client.

Only got reminded of it when they sent an email to my main address saying it had been inactive for years and was going to be deleted anyhow, so went through this process where they unlocked it after a month of waiting to see what was in there before shutting it down. Was pretty much blank from the start so it doesn’t really matter if they actually deleted it or not.

How my main email got set as a recovery is another question, probably just many years back brain not being so good at keeping online identities siloed.

Bah, minor inconveniences, fix it next cycle.

Dick tater in chief needs a reminder.

Ok, so badly phrased, yes companies will do geo fencing principally for security threat containment. If a company has no means to serve customers in a region they may also block access to avoid people making orders that can’t be fulfilled.

Denying service that they functionally can perform because of the whims of politicians and politically minded actors is a foolish behavior though. Every place on earth has some wing of society that would prefer isolationist and ultra conservative practices, to self censor to the lowest common denominator is going to only push away those users who aren’t zealots.

GeoIP fencing is an eternal whack-a-mole, I’ve had to track down issues where a site owned by MS was blocked because they bought some public IP space previously owned by countries the client blocks.

In the end you have countries trying to get a piece of the pie from a company that they have no ties to but being unwilling to upset the people living there by taking an effort to block it. If they think the company is behaving incorrectly then it’s on them to deny access to their citizens that they have to answer to.

A company can’t reasonably decide which jurisdictions and IPs it should serve at any given time. If I don’t want a site in my house I don’t petition them to block my IP.

By that token, I could start my own private Island nation, make some batty rules, log into a site, and demand a bajillion dollars because my laws say so.

Internet doesn’t work that way, access is not presence of operations.

Lower courts have dismissed Davis’ claims and most legal experts consider her bid a long shot

If only I had any faith that the scotus gave a damn about precedent and law at this point. My bet, they take this on the ‘shadow docket’, rule for her, and refuse to explain why.

It would help the scam if you didn’t"t try to pose as a Mastodon bot to a Lemmy user.

I’ve never knowingly engaged with a proper chat bot beyond the ‘virtual help desk’ things some sites use. By proper I mean some sizable system beyond what can be typically run at home.

Home ran ones are bizarre though, so far whatever I try they get stuck on go-to phrases and tend to return to specific formats of response over and over. Very much not passing the turing test.

The planet can, maybe the next species of critters to pick up a pointy stick can make use of it after it resets itself.

Project Prism, supposedly shut down but realistically a safe bet the painted the door and said it’s totally not them any more.

Like that it is largely offline other than to search the food DB sources, no account to have to sign into and feed your data to someone.

Dislikes, some graphical glitches on my phone like buttons going off the edge and unable to scroll down. Also, no murica measurements for those of us accustomed to measuring against arbitrary, non-scientific standards.

You’ll never guess who they are!

You won’t believe what it is!

DVD? walks my pet dinosaur out of the room

Really though, Labyrinth is the one that comes to mind.

It doesn’t look like a list to me, but a riddle.

Would putting a Q: and A: in front of them satisfy you or would that send you off on a different tangent of chastising web users on their formatting?

Maybe instead of people needing to apply exacting rules to accommodate an accessibility tech, the tech should get better at interpreting human tendencies of writing. Even today I can write in a non-structured natural language form and a decent chat bot can typically make a reasonable interpretation of it without help.
