Isn’t that a classic corporate raid technique? Sell the company’s assets to you or an organization you control, then lease them back to the original owners.

oh so it would just be app-based MFA but without using TOTP. That makes sense

I’m confused about how this is supposed to act as a second authentication factor 🤔

I see, thank you for explaining!

what’s the concern with channel blockers? /genq

It would be a different beast if the school didn’t allow you access coursework on a personal machine without installing their bullshit, thats a huge issue.

That’s exactly how it works at many places. Students can only use a personal device if it’s enrolled in the school’s MDM, which grants them just as much control.

TIL that pluralistic.net is blocked on Facebook, and any links to it are automatically removed as “farming engagement”

That’s not entirely true. Practice is important, but homework actually has a negative impact on learning: https://hachyderm.io/@Impossible_PhD/112969358305278574

Agreed, unfortunately. I’m not even sure it supports defederation :/

It’s good we have “Knewbies” in a sandbox when they start.

attention all companies: please stop making pet names for your employees, it’s weird

In my experience, the larger threadiverse instances have gradually collected the worst ex-redditors, who have brought the worst of reddit’s culture. I’m unfortunately not surprised that lemmy.world has queerphobic mods, given how the users behave. 😕

I’ve been using Xubuntu for half a decade, zero regrets.

Jain’s team then built artificial-intelligence models that were able to stitch the microscope images together to reconstruct the whole sample in 3D.

The map is so large that most of it has yet to be manually checked, and it could still contain errors created by the process of stitching so many images together. “Hundreds of cells have been ‘proofread’, but that’s obviously a few per cent of the 50,000 cells in there,” says Jain.

Ah so it’s not a real model, just an AI approximation.

Changing the domain of an established fedi instance is very difficult, almost to the point of impossibility.

I feel like this design would work pretty well even for a modern phone. Just flatten the bottom-right menu section and extend the screen over it, and you’d get a regular full-size smartphone with a slide-out keyboard and some handy physical buttons!

The same problem can also be solved with signed messages, like the HTTP Signatures used by Mastodon and most of the other microblogging fedi servers. Signatures allow a message to flow peer-to-peer instead of requiring a direct connection. You would only need a connection when actively interacting with a post on another instance, and its very unlikely that all 10K instances would be interacting with each other. Most likely, the network will consist of smallish groups of loosely-related instances plus a few giant servers that can handle the load of being popular.

RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.

it’s all people getting mad on behalf of their instances when everybody behind the scenes is chill and understands!

I think that’s becoming A Thing ™️ on the fediverse recently. I’ve seen this exact scenario play out on the microblogging side more than once.
