Never forget the guy who didn't want to poop for 3 days.

In the United States.

Why did they use such an obscene word for this?

"Ploopy"? I would say it's weird (for headphones) and maybe non-descriptive. How is it "obscene"?

So I don't know what solutions you have discussed with the other instance admins, and I actually know little about how it all works currently, but I had a thought about this for the fediverse as a whole: the admins/moderators of a user's home instance should be moderating/responsible for that user's engagement with communities on other instances.

Right now if Person A creates Instance A and a community on that instance becomes really popular fediverse-wide, Person A is stuck in the lurch of dealing with all of the engagement from everywhere else in the fediverse. If Instance A has 10 users or 100000 users, they still have to deal with x-thousands of users from all over the fediverse. More than likely they'll just want to defederate, especially if they are small. At the same time, if Person B creates Instance B that invites trolls (on purpose or not) it seems that they have little say in what their own users do on Instance A's community. In fact, as you pointed out, Person B might not even know that a user from their instance is trolling Instance A.

Instead, if mods on Instance A take any action against the user on their instance, mods on the user's home instance (AKA Instance B) should immediately and automatically be notified. Then the moderators from Instance B will need to respond how they see fit with the user. If they don't see a problem, maybe they do nothing (e.g. the two instances have different philosophies.) But if they do see an issue, they then have the opportunity to respond in whatever way makes sense. Then, between the two instances, if the actions taken on either side seem appropriate, the two instances can continue to get along (i.e. federate). If they disagree in some way (maybe Instance B thinks Instance A is too draconian or maybe Instance A thinks Instance B is too lax) they can part ways (i.e. defederate).

As an extension to this, it could help Instance B from being a source of brigading. If they suddenly see a bunch of reports coming in from Instance A they would be able to take action on their own side to stop it, either through temporarily defederating or some other mechanism.

All in all the purpose would be to give both instances the chance to deal with the issues before defederating; hopefully alleviating some of the pressure off of Instance A, and giving Instance B the opportunity to show whether they should be trusted (or not) in general.

This could be taken a step further and their could be trusted and untrusted federations. Trusted federations work like normal and untrusted federations require mods from the user's home instance to moderate all engagement before it actually posts to the remote instance. This puts a burden on the home instance, but that's actually the point. If you're willing to grow to large numbers and federate widely, then you need to be willing to moderate your users' content, rather than imposing your users on everyone else (until they defederate.)

Edit to add: I should mention that I very much appreciate this instance and that I was able to easily create an account, and, I was disappointed by the defederation as it seems like the kind of thing that will kill Lemmy from scaling to something mainstream. I don't think that's what the creators of Lemmy want though, anyway.

Some parts of BC are rainforest, some are basically desert. It's really big.

I'm leaving reddit permanently, so thanks for maintaining this!

At first I was like, "maybe they should have checked that..."

But then after reading the article, they were let down at every fucking turn by so many factors.

• it is not an obvious archeological site
• the significance wasn't disclosed by the seller or real estate agent
• its not on title (sounds like it never is, but that's the problem)
• the information isn't public
• they were given permits to develop on the property, including a septic tank
• I don't think it's in the article, but they were probably given a loan for the specific development too.

It wasn't until Hydro checked that they were notified.

The sad part is that they would probably need to sue the various parties involved to recoup their costs, and they probably can't afford that.

What a shit show. I feel really bad for that family.

"Big\nData"

That's true. But I guess I'm not the only one haha!

Thanks! I'll bookmark that.

I saw they charge, looked around a bit for how much, couldn't figure it out and noped out.

Take one bite now, come back for more.

From the article:

A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick's Wi-Fi network.

Public wifi without a VPN is like sex without a condom. The connection may not be encrypted (very risky) and even if it is, you are still susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks: https://www.garlandtechnology.com/blog/how-to-monitor-encrypted-traffic-and-keep-your-network-secure

I guarantee there will be a flood of articles about this over the next few days because of what I quoted above.

It's also possible that one of his "friends" reported him or something like that.

Disagree. So it should be an option. The confirmation is the reason I stayed with Connect over other apps.

In every other app I end up accidentally backing out of the app.

• pack light
• give yourself plenty of time. It's better to be bored for 30 min at the gate than running through a terminal trying to catch your flight
• be ready for security, try to pack so it's easy to do things like get your laptop out and so you don't need many bins. If that's not possible, just be calm and organized
• tuck stuff from your pockets into your bag before security (wallet, keys, phone, etc.)
• avoid belts, hats, heavy shoes (things they'll make you remove)
• on the other side of security, move your stuff to the side when packing back up (there's often a table you can move to)
• bring a water bottle and find a water refill station after security so you don't pay a ridiculous amount for water
• if you can bring your own (non-smelly) food for the airport and plane, assuming you're not getting airplane food, to avoid the ridiculous prices for food at the airport
• be close to your gate 45 minutes before your flight. Boarding will likely start 30 min before, but be there for announcements and in case they call your name
• before boarding, grab small things from your bag you know you'll want, like your headphones, charging cable, etc. and put them in your pockets to make it easier when you get to your seat
• there are likely people in front of you and behind you. Treat the seat in front of you and your seat back with respect. This includes when you go to lean your seat back, do a courtesy check
• keep your elbows in
• make sure your kids do the same, e.g. they aren't kicking the seat in front
• don't wear sandals
• don't put your feet on the arms of the seat in front of you
• keep your voice low
• don't get drunk
• shower and brush your teeth before you travel
• don't wear heavy scents (e.g. perfume)
• during the taxi to the gate, gather your stuff and check the seat pocket carefully
• let people into the aisle and off the plane in a respectful manner, don't crowd forward

Delivery?

They don't see a problem with their own app, so why would they? They're killing the 3rd party apps so they can have more control over what the user sees (ads, gold, avatars and anything else they can make money with). They can do that with the official app (which was already a 3rd party app they purchased), no need for Apollo or any other 3rd party app anymore. They feel like their user base is big enough that it will sustain itself without the 3rd party apps bringing in free users.

Scary. I hope they find her soon, and she's fine.
