I always love how everything of the GDR is about the Stasi. Like, there was nothing else, only Stasi.
And still nobody connects the dots about what was bad about the Stasi with current techno-capitalism and its little brother chat control et al.
So, Stasi bad, but Stasi, pretending being about children, good, apparently.
But that is about the ISP (and all hops in between). The provider, where you buy the domain, does not see the traffic at all. Basically the domain seller just controls the nameservers for that domain, but doesn’t see the traffic that goes to those domains.
Basically by buying a domain you buy an entry into the telephone book
The small windows are crazy. Always when I get a newish car from a rental it feels like the window surface is yet smaller. Waiting for a slit only, like in those WW1 tanks.
As the prevalence of online child sexual exploitation and abuse continues to grow

Just ask in their embassy where it is located.
A “fair trial” is not about having a jury or judge from Planet Neutral.
Is it about having a defence and a jury or judge who weigh the evidence of the prosecution against the counter-evidence of the defence properly, to come to a conclusion.
Probably language settings. Depending on your client you need to change those in the Lemmy WebUI. There’s something like preferred languages.
You put them in a safe. Safe falls down, spinning is gone.
You put them in a safe and forget about them for some time. Flash is gone, spinning still has data.
Webdav is just a http “file system”. You can then e.g. mount the storage space as a webfolder in your operating system.
What you describe is exactly the point Ai WeiWei is trying to make in that paragraph: you let something as severe as an blatant attack just slide, because it does not fit in your strategic planning.
And that is the hypocrisy he is calling out: the reaction would have been different if it was an enemy state like Russia or Iran but “silent” when it was Ukraine or Israel for example. Take that “it is not okay to spy on friends” bullshit as another example. Like spying for Russia or China is uncovered and the perpetrators prosecuted (which is obviously a good thing), but nobody ever did something about the large scale spying by our allies.
There is obviously nothing new about it, except that in our age those hypocrisies are more easily uncovered. And that leads to frustration, when it becomes clear, that it is never about the act itself but about who is the actor. That holds true on geopolitical issues like that, but also, as pointed out, for
And the cherry on top is, that nobody openly tells the truth as “yeah, obviously all of that is different for our allies than for our enemies, because it is in our strategic interest”, but always hides behind some “values”, like “it’s about international law or human rights”. No, if it were, we had to do something about that stuff equally.
I kinda had a similar problem. Never found the root cause, but what did the trick for me was to put an OpenWRT Router between the default ISP router and my home network.
As I said, I never figured out, why Android did not respect the DHCP settings of the default router, but here we are. Maybe it was some DNS shenanigans by the ISP’s config, maybe it was a wrong DNS/DHCP configs from my side, maybe it was IPv6 shenanigans. Those are the culprits I would investigate from your side.
I think he took it as an example, because it was basically an direct attack on Germany. So the example is crass, as in “if it doesn’t fit into the mainstream story, we even ‘ignore’ direct attacks”.
While the silence on the Gaza genocide holds just as true, it is not a direct attack and thus not such a strong example for the point.
Well, silence is not the correct word, I agree. But the reaction was kind of mild, when you think about that it was a terrorist attack on seemingly very important infrastructure and thus on Germany’s sovereignity. And that holds especially true after it became clear that it wasn’t the Russians but someone who wanted to influence Germany’s stance on Russia’s invasion. Nobody cared.
I mean, Germany is obviously not in the position, but the US basically devastates whole regions for less. Thus it can be argued, that the reaction was comparably “silent”.
I’d like it not to be spam really because that would undermine the emails sent by real users like me…
It’s only spam if you are Politico, a right wing news outlet. Otherwise it is people voicing their opinion.
I have no expertise and opinion about that.
I just know from extrapolating, that if Merz wants it, it is probably a bad idea for everyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, Email is twofold. Like running the server and getting inbound email: just as easy as all the other services.
Outbound? That shit can be difficult, near impossible on residential. But as outbound mail is kinda “lost” anyway in a privacy sense, I would not feel too bad about using a relay.
Yep. As I wrote: Google does shitty things. It’s time to try to establish an alternative OS for mobile.
What I don’t understand yet: custom ROMs don’t need that dev verification. Everybody cries now, that F-Droid can close shop, if Google comes through. But why? F-Droid would still be the #1 distribution platform for de-googled ROMs. So why this “that would kill F-Droid” sentiment?
I mean, yep: it is a shitty move by Google, but who expects non-shitty moves from Google these days? Of course they will punish and oppress their customers. That is what Big Tech is here for. If anything we ought to help those users.
I agree that the ban is not good regulation. However, that some kind of regulation of those platforms get started is hopefully a milestone which gets the stone rolling. I consider those good news because of that.
I am cynically enough that I doubt that regulators around the world will learn and adapt, like I would wish for, but one can hope.
