I think a large portion of it is that governments/institutions/whatever don’t want to pay the large amount of money it would take to replace all signage/software/etc.

The classic “high short term costs for long term benefits” vs. “no (direct monetary) short term costs for ‘future me’ problems”.

If both Caddy and Forgejo are running in Docker containers you could do SSH Container Passthrough.

Link is to Gitea docs but should work fine with Forgejo.

PCU

As of the end of June they significantly relaxed the rules around the path to citizenship, including dual citizenship. Anyone can now do it if the other country also allows dual citizenship.

Add this to trying to trademark the word “punk”, not paying artists doing work for them, using job applications as a means to get free work/ideas, and many, many other awful things…

They’re taught to follow set rules, ask for permission, and be ashamed if they fail. They’re not taught to learn, they’re taught to work.

This might be even more ingrained in German culture.

People have a tendency to only equate the word “innovation” with “woooaahh, completely new in my face never before seen tech that seemingly came out of nowhere!”. When in reality innovation is almost always slow, small, incremental steps.

So when Apple introduces something to their lineup, many deride it as not being innovative, even though it is often the first version of something that is fairly solid, reliable, and useable.

People think they want mind-blowing technological jumps, but in practice they rarely accept/adopt new technology (or really, anything too outside of the norm, tech or not).

It’s third-person.

Pihole will also block non-browser traffic (e.g. your OS phoning home). Adblocking extensions are typically restricted to just blocking traffic of the browser it’s installed on.

It also operates on your entire home network, so it can block junk traffic on devices that can’t run adblockers.

Yeah, I’ve been living in Germany. Learned quite quickly to never trust a “joint”.

Ya’ll should learn the word “spliff”. That’s what it’s for.

If that’s what people want to do on their own, that’s fine. My issue is when they hand it to you saying it’s a joint, only to be surprised when it’s basically a cigarette with a tiny bit of weed sprinkled in. I hate smoking tobacco.

I’ve quickly learned to always ask what is actually in it before accepting.

Germany has SCHUFA. Fairly similar to credit reports. Pretty much necessary to successfully rent an apartment (in Berlin at least).

Though, there isn’t the expectation that you have accrued debt in order to have a good score, like in the US.

I weirdly enjoyed the 1981 BBC series:

No, the article says that Epic Games “laid off 16% of its [Epic Games’] workforce, or 830 employees”.

I believe Bandcamp was ~120 people total – so 60 laid off.

Everyone that has existed did have existence forced upon them though.

Doesn’t mean you have to be miserable, but existing was not a consensual decision (as far as we are currently able to understand).

No humans = nothing around to construct the concept of problems or to philosophize on their existence or solutions.

Everything solved!

Some other decent ones in my opinion:

• Styx: Master of Shadows
• Styx: Shards of Darkness
• Thief (2014)
• Aragami
• Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (really liked this one)
• Monaco

I would give both Dishonored and Prey a shot — I had a better time with those than Deathloop.

Not sure if it’s even possible though in current enterprise/governmental structures :(

Yeah… sadly, it’s already difficult enough getting governments to even agree that internet infrastructure itself should be a public utility. Even though it has long been at the point where you absolutely need it to participate in society (depending on where you live, of course) and largely been funded by the public through taxes.

From the web interface it’s pretty easy. You can either go to the community page and click the “Block Community” button in the sidebar, or you can go to your Settings

or you can go to Settings -> Blocks and manually search for the community to block there

If you’re using a mobile app it will depend on how the app has implemented it, but generally it involves going to the community page and tapping the hamburger/meatball (3 lines/3 dots) menu and selecting Block from there (might have to view the Sidebar, then block from there).

It seems not all of the apps have implemented blocking yet. I can’t seem to find a way to do it in wefwef, but Mlem and Memmy have it, for example.

My current understanding is that you can only block individual communities, not entire instances.

It’s a bit unfortunate — I would also like to block at the instance level.
