@Boegh Det er et godt spørgsmål. Jeg selv, har for nyligt lukket min egen konto fra 2009 og rykket herover permanent.Hvad jeg, og jeg tænker andre også gør, savner her nok de store institutioner.Vi mangler myndigheder, nyhedsmedier, politikere, meningsdannere mm.Og så det at man selv skal finde rundt. På Twitter blev man holdt lidt i hånden.

@Boegh @mosgaard Det med instanser er også svær. Hvordan får man folk over på "mastodon" når langt de fleste instanser ikke hedder noget med "mastodon", eks. expressional.social? Der er meget benarbejde, bare for at komme i gang

Why use the term "Adult Film", when you actually mean "Pornography"?"Adult film" suggests a film intended for an adult audience, correct?Yet, no one would call "The Conjuring", "Poltergeist", "The Ring", or "Schindlers List", "Adult films"?Is it because words, by themselves, has become "problematic"? Not the context in which they are found?I was prompted by this article by @Reuters:The weird thing is, they also use the word "porn". Why both?https://www.reuters.com/world/us/stormy-daniels-woman-center-trump-indictment-is-porn-star-turned-ghostbuster-2023-04-04/

@PawelK @Reuters I still don't get it. Even you wrote "p0rn", instead of "porn". Why?The word is just a word, we both know what you mean, no one gets hurt if you used it, so why didn't you?I'm not trying to to stir up anger, I'm genuinely curious.When everybody knows what "p0rn", "p*rn", "pron", etc. means. And we all know what message is being presented, whay not just use the word?

@PawelK @Reuters case in point of my original statement. The words themselves are, somehow, bad. Never mind the context, the word itself is to be banned.It's is completely backwards.

Following, intently, the #MicrosoftRecall discussions on here.I for one, am actually a Windows user. And yes, I have disabled all that "copilot"-nonsense and will do so with the recall feature.However. I really think the Linux community is a bit out of touch with reality here.The argument against Recall, for the most part, is privacy. People argue that a threat actor with physical access to the computer, or through an open vulnerability in the OS, will have access to the data.Please tell me again how secure a Linux system is, against a threat actor with physical access or through an open vulnerability in the OS? How does Linux defer from Windows in that regard?Recall needs access through the currently logged in user. Meaning you need the access code. Linux needs access through the currently logged in user. Meaning you need the access code. And my experience tells me the root/sudo code are the same as the current users. Meaning, if you know one, you know the other.

I am genuinely curious.How can Linux be a more secure OS, when facing the same threat, eg. a threat actor with physical access, knowledge of open vulnerabilities and/or knowledge of access codes?

@katharsisdrill thanks...I do think it's interesting though... For so lang, we've heard that "Linux is the most secure OS ever". But it is only secure IF the user secures it. Same goes for Windows, (and macOS, Ios, android etc).If you keep all that copilot crap running on a windows pc, sure the system will be less secure. But is Linux more secure when everyone tells you to just install this and that package from this and that unverified source to solve a common problem?I really am curious about this...

@Ruth_Mottram @protonprivacy Biggest problem I have with Proton is their non-support of open standards like IMAP, forcing me to use their app. That requirement is a no-go for me. Not even Google or Microsoft forces you to use their apps for email.

@stux if a platform is as great as they say, the cancel/delete button could be front and center without anyone clicking it.The fact that they need to hide it, is an admission that their platform sucks and the only way to prevent people leaving is to not give them the opportunity to do so.

@stux I belive they take great pride in their job, so why not spread the word?
