@Rasp That is of course very true.Another issue with hosting email at home is that Big Tech rejects all email from "dialup" addresses, by which they mean "anything not a data center or at least a business line with some ISP".But yeah, I recommend getting some server hosted somewhere, doesn't cost much - and then you can run email there. You do also need a domain so you can set a MX record.

@sunspot @medbsraven Always weird to see different "woke" groups attack each other.See the Rowling uproar.Hey, you probably agree about over 95% of the people. Can't you get along someone and resolve your differences peacefully?Yes, I am still salty that the Pirate Party basically dissolved over this in Germany.

@sunspot @RadfemBlack @kathleenbee Arguably underage drinking is comparable based on what it leads to (noodz or worse).But still. What kind of age verification do they do that a 16 years old can't get around? "Selfie and photo ID as well as some money" seems to be PRECISELY what bars do as well.

@sunspot @RadfemBlack @kathleenbee As for "it doesn't matter what sites have to do or how much it costs" - strongly disagree.Or do you want:- E-Mail providers to scan all your mail for pictures- Every web forum online to be moderated to make sure no child porn ever gets distributed- Cryptography to be banned as it can be used to hide child porn- Fediverse to be banned and shut down due to a few nasty peopleNo, reasonable enforcement is enough.

@sunspot @RadfemBlack @kathleenbee I should however add: I am against the current ban on _possession_ of child porn on the grounds that it can be accidental (e.g. via a trojan).But anyone who knowingly profits from it, even markets their product towards it, shall rot in prison for life.And yes, this means OnlyFans. If easier to just ban all porn distribution, fine.But again, I have trouble punishing OneDrive when people upload encrypted child porn.

@DeveloperMemes I like how the IDE highlights minor formatting mistakes/inconsistencies, but not the bug.

@sunspot Question is, from a neutral POV: does having a specific organ in the body make it more likely for an, e.g., prisoner to rape a woman?Now that I can't tell, but it certainly makes it more convenient and rewarding. And lots of crimes are born out of convenience. That's an argument for separation by sex in this specific case that anyone should agree on.Of course, all this should be moot, as convicted rapists belong in solitary confinement as long as it's expected that they might rape.

@ocean I almost did once; sort of failed though as the Debian kernel didn't boot (my own did, but really don't want to end up compiling kernels on a low-end device). So I installed Arch.Worked fine.Until ArchLinuxARM's chromebook kernel grew beyond 32MB, which the bootloader can't load. Ouch.Device was a C101PA.

@ocean Haha, audio also was a fight on the C101PA. Fought a lot against alsaucm. Eventually managed to make it work but really don't know how.The true reason why you hear no sound in space is that space runs on Linux. ;)

@ocean In my case, I had a good reason though - I wanted a small laptop, not a 13 inch "hueg liek xbox" book.But yeah, the Chromebook is breaking, and no good cheap 10" or smaller hardware available anymore. Probably gonna get a GPD or a OneNetbook now. I like them small.

@sunspot Wow, not bad.Of course, I immediately find a mistake - Perfume is unlikely to be the most translated German book, given it's listed with 49 and Faust by Goethe has >=50.Wonder which country the Bible would be assigned to. Some books of the New Testament were in Greek, and Greece is listed with only 16 languages, so there's that, but might not count as it may go by original publishing location, not language.Also, Scientology won this one against the Church of Christ. Respect.

@sunspot Absolutely. Not that I could recommend them to anyone :) But the number of translations is an achievement. Book of Mormon got only 90, for example. Jehovah's Witnesses translate to many more languages apparently but those tend to be smaller magazines, not books.

@sunspot Instagram, like any other social network (other than this one because it's "bad"), optimizes for content that maximizes user engagement. Clearly their machine learning model has discovered that sex sells.Is that good? No. But expected.

I want something like Fedi but where one can post more than a few lines of text at once.Yeah, that'd be Diaspora*. But I also want people to actually use it.Damn it. The character limit in Mastodon is so annoying. Is it higher in Pleroma or Misskey?

@federico3 @Sylvhem Real metric time would use hectoseconds instead of minutes and kilosecons where we would use hours."We meet at 43k" e.g. would be slightly before noon.
