Only by the admin of your home instance, which is unlikely and normally comes after something very extreme (and can be mitigated by running your own instance, where you are in sole power over your account, so it cannot be banned globally)

But normally, you’ll get banned by the community/certain other instance in very gruesome cases, but not your account.

Yep, seen those for a while now

I see your point!

Whenever there is a single party controlling critical infrastructure, there is a potential for enshittification - even if it starts as a FOSS endeavor.

Ability to self-host a full copy of the service is the best protection we have so far.

Did they fix the self-hosted option? If it works well, I would immediately jump to it.

Both options available

The most important part: what went into the calculation? There are plenty of things besides food that impact environmental sustainability, is diet alone sufficient to achieve it? Or did they just throw the rest out?

It’s the continuation of all the negative news about Musk and Tesla and MAGA. While it is uplifting to some that they have setbacks, I believe this doesn’t help people distract from this shitshow, which I reckon the community is all about.

Besides, people made miserable is not in the spirit of the place, either.

From community description:

This is a sanctuary for those seeking a break from the incessant negativity often found in today’s news cycle. From acts of everyday kindness to large-scale philanthropic efforts, from individual achievements to community triumphs, we bring you news that gives hope, fosters empathy, and strengthens the belief in humanity’s capacity for good.

Are you sure this one fits in? Why, of all the communities, choose this one specifically?

The goal of the Privacy Sandbox initiative is to develop new ways to strengthen online privacy while ensuring a sustainable, ad-supported internet.

Like, that’s all you need to know about what it ever was.

Also, the article is essentially a bunch of barely meaningful corporate blubber in an attempt to disguise the main message.

A typical 4chan user is very concerned about privacy, because it’s a place they do stuff they wouldn’t do elsewhere.

Once a trust is broken, it is very hard to regain. Technically, nothing stops it from appearing again. But will the userbase follow?

Still insane to me that one woman literally saves the world of science from all this corruption

Only one way to find out! :D

For future reference: there are fields “URL” (the link) and “Thumbnail URL” (the picture). If you paste the image, the Thumbnail URL field disappears, and picture URL appears in URL field.

Cut it, and Thumbnail URL field appears again. Paste it into the Thumbnail URL field, and enter the link to whatever you want to be opened into the URL field again.

Voila - you have a link AND a custom picture. It’s weird, it shouldn’t work this way, but it works.

I have a long-term dream to build a fanless SSD-powered NAS

Self-hosted, silent, fast - what’s not to love, aside from steep price tag?

Google correction does not reflect in the tab name; genuinely happens

Luckily, it is the kind of privilege you can pass on to your children.

You don’t have to have any other privileges for that. Just patience and love (yep, not easy, but doable by all means)

For those interested, the Russian description just reads “Cold lake Arrius and Cheydinhal”

As an alternative to Obsidian, there is Trilium. Much the same stuff, but actually open-source

OBS, Portmaster, Trilium, FlightGear

+all the minimalist Adwaita apps on the Flathub. Love 'em.
