This is neat, but quantum key distribution is stupid as hell because it’s only secure if you START OFF WITH A SHARED SECRET to authenticate the key pad and first round of messages.

And if you have that then you don’t need quantum encryption because you can do everything with just symmetric encryption (unless you specifically have some very weird forward secrecy requirements where it isn’t approved to use asymmetric post quantum algorithms like McEliece)

I call it “breakglass powers”. For most it’s probably known as “the things I’d do on the last day of my job”. Things you can do once and then never again.

Far down you have chains and axles and ropes

Or a Peltier element if you want to be fancy

You are not entitled to an audience, people who want to see less of some things are allowed to see less of it.

Yes accountability, etc, is needed. The variant I’m in favor of is stuff like a content addressed protocol where you can “fork” a forum to substitute misbehaving mods (or server admins). But removing layers of moderation can not be a solution. Bluesky’s atproto has similar mechanisms but there’s not a lot of activity in making forum-shaped sites with it.

Sometimes even solar is about boiling water

Just to be VERY clear, I do not defend hiding the moderation choices, especially not in places where they aren’t expected!

But the statement I responded to was about wanting less moderation than the current default. That’s the only thing I talked about there. Users should have a CHOICE and that includes an informed choice in degree of filtering

This should also have been obvious from my prior reply just one step up!

If nobody offers a default filtered experience then most people will refuse to join.

Maybe you should try your own advice.

If people wanted the “experience for adults” they’d be on 4chan already! There’s already places to go for that! And they aren’t going there because they don’t want it!

So when others create moderated spaces, don’t get mad that others want something nicer.

So what’s your solution? Because we can’t just have less moderation and administration without something to replace it. If you want to move it to the frontend, then at least make it opt in and tell people (except spam)

Like in the bluesky model (atproto) you can pick and choose between appview, clients, moderation lists, etc. You can even bypass your current appview (frontend server) to fetch directly from a user’s host or from another index (appview or relay)

You’re also ignoring that there are many different types of users, and that lurkers drastically outnumber active posters. You lose a few active users from strict moderation, and you lose masses of lurkers from obnoxious users flooding every thread. And you get new active users from lurkers.

There’s certainly degrees of bias, but even the very choice in what to cover is a bias. The real question is if they’re honestly presenting the relevant facts, and are clear about what’s their own opinion.

That’s depending on client. I’m using Thunder on Android, it shows it

This is the cross post, original OP is here https://lemmy.zip/post/68335876

This was mostly a ruling about the responsibility for websites (don’t have to block VPNs to enforce regional restrictions of content, etc) and VPN providers (not responsible for users circumventing regional restrictions). Websites can still choose to try to block, of course. Users can still be liable as usual if they use it to break the law but private companies are generally not responsible for enforcing that others follow the law, they’re responsible just for their own actions.

One you pop (one account) you can’t stop

At least you have blue shells

Yeah nobody’s talking about it

Taiwan had assurances from USA for decades but now it has little more than a plan to destroy the infrastructure that China would most want to take (chip production) if they invade along with tactics from Ukraine (they’ve been trading drone technology). So Taiwan is stuck betting that China thinks it would be too costly to invade.

Trump is planning military attacks on Cuba. Please no.

Just like with Ukraine, they have stronger claims against the imperialist aggressor country than the aggressor country has against them

It helps them map who shares to who
