*Sorta. ICANN has a special relationship with ccTLDs. Registries of gtlds can’t put an A record at the root tld.

Don’t forget countries. A few, I don’t have a list, but including .ai, .pn, are in full control of their domains and do it all on their own infra.

I’ve seen the opposite. A few days into the blackout, I saw someone post this meme about dictatorships where they (literally) put a picture of Spez right next to Tiananmen Square

Was the infant alright? AHT is no joke

Why are people pretending this isn’t an issue??? Of course it is lol.
Luckily the fix is also easy: an image proxy server. Mail clients do this already.
It exposes the bigger problem with Lemmy: lack of auditing.

i spent $20 at Arby’s for a burger, fries, and shake (as a meal). just go to Olive Garden… seriously lol

lol bro. You don’t have to like the rich class to have basic human empathy for other people

You’re probably fine, but I recommend just getting a free VPN to keep your ISP at bay. I don’t like Proton, but they do have a free VPN. Google around and you can find some others too, if that one is too slow

I see monero pretty widely adopted! But not near Bitcoin and even BCH might have a little more traction.

I’ve kinda seen monero as a truly peer-to-peer currency because most central exchanges don’t ever want to touch it :)

I’m also disappointed that we now have AI browsers, which is scary and not a good direction to go in.

Out of pure curiosity, why do you say this? In context of something like ChatGPT, it makes sense, but what do you think about stuff like local LLMs as assistants and embedded in browser infra?

You probably saw some (mostly fraudulent) ads. Dread is where most of Tor’s public content can be found; but, yeah, crypto (specifically Bitcoin and Monero) are the standards there.

FHE solves that through and through, as has been documented widely, but that’s overengineering when you could just use plain ZKP.
Zero-knowledge voting is here and has been for a while now.

The stuff listed in OP doesn’t really seem like much concern. “What you put on the internet is there forever!” is completely true, and things like this should only make it more concrete that you can’t rely on your service provider to delete information somebody else already archived.
With that being said, default privacy settings - at least on Kbin - seem pretty bad.

I thought votes didn’t federate yet anyways… but, yes, it is possible, and i can come up off the top of my head with three or four potential implementations.

i think the shitcoin trend and NFT shit is over, but crypto as a technology and cryptocurrency certainly isn’t. I don’t see BTC, ETH, XMR dying aaanytime soon, especially the former and the latter - they’re gold standard on the net already. Overengineered crypto like ETH seems to be less popular now.

I use smileys (and I used them back on reddit too). But i wish the webapp had emoji aliasing built in! :smile:

That’s not a joke – that’s exactly how a lot of the smaller open-source LLMs are trained. Orca (paper) is trained between GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-turbo

You could probably find some ways to get a few of em but i don’t know.
You shouldn’t really need more than one or two accounts tho. Talking from kbin :)

Strikes make me happy,
