Weird. I can’t see the .ml after your name. Must be a Lemmy bug.

I don’t think they realize how easy (and low risk) it can be to set up a Mastodon server. Particularly when you don’t have to allow the public to create accounts.

Well, you are throwing shade on China, just for a reason.

Pizza places have dealt with that forever. It’s normal.

The key between UberEATS and a much better service you describe is that the drivers need to stay on site, and the site needs to be geographically in the same place.

But yeah, I agree a better model would be tiny GrubHubs that service one, very small restaurant area. Basically the pizza delivery drivers also deliver for the 4-5 restaurants around the pizza place.

It’d be better service for the users, likely cheaper, and better for the restaurants who have 4-7 consistent drivers, and it’d be better for the drivers who actually get an hourly wage on top of their delivery fees.

Someone just has to build the infrastructure for this, have the capital to get started, sell the restaurants on it, and advertise the service.

You know, I would pick instances that aren’t federated with hexbear or Lemmygrad.

Usernames include the instance, @[email protected]

Picking a default instance seems like the right approach.

Hilarious, and no. Turns out we’re all “handled” by legal authorities.

Most of our communities have different mods. Some were a bit overzealous at first (imo). It seems the whole instance doesn’t get much credit for avoiding the Reddit supermod situation and instead the whole instance is judged by whichever mod each user each dislikes the most.

If it’s big enough for us, it’s big enough for state actors. They may not be putting in a ton of effort yet, but I’m sure they’re here.

Well, this leak is out there now for whoever decided to use it. And it’s being publicized. That doesn’t seem good for the people having their payroll data leaked.

This is generally not how one goes about disclosure.

Also, do we just trust all these random libraries? Not just about malicious code, but also what kind of quality/usability are you including?

Big companies do not want to trust open package repositories. They attempt to take countermeasures (but how much can you do?)

The huge benefit of the standard library is that I can always trust it, and it will always be the idiomatic way to do things.

elaborate reasons why it’s all true

Usually it’s “just read these 10 hundred-year-old books” that they absolutely have not read.

And if you ask them to make a point from those books, they can’t. Apparently they’re only comprehensible as a whole.

Video chat? Wtf. Have people ever heard of coffee? Very public, fairly short, no commitment. You can even say the no commitment part up front. Just meet, don’t expect anything, and see how it goes.
