- Comment on Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter 3 days ago:
I don’t know if he’s been taken out of context, but bluesky is supposed to have opt-out moderation, and the ability to opt-in to multiple moderation servers (a little like adlists in ublock et al), which doesn’t seem like a terrible idea, but it sounds like they’ve gone further and completely removed stuff, because in reality it isn’t decentralised at all.
- Comment on Tech workers should shine a light on the industry’s secretive work with the military 3 days ago:
I feel like they would need protection from sudden onset suicidality first.

The state of the so called “labour” party where someone has to apologise for calling a genocide a genocide.
- Comment on TikTok sues U.S. government, saying potential ban violates First Amendment 5 days ago:
It looks like they do, yes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wong_Wing_v._United_States
The fact that they bothered to pass a law at all could be argued to be a tacit admission that tiktok has constitutional rights, if it doesn’t then you could just march in and confiscate it’s servers, since it wouldn’t have the right to due process.
- Comment on Raspberry Pis get a built-in remote access tool: Raspberry Pi Connect 6 days ago:
It’s rather disappointingly proprietary.

At times the mastodon people sound like Alex Jones, only it’s “techbros” instead of “globalists”
- Comment on TikTok sues to block prospective US app ban 6 days ago:
In my head this argument is a little shaky, since it seems to be effectively arguing that Americans have the right to access foreign propoganda machines?
I don’t see why that’s shaky? There a plenty of books written by members of the CPC (Including Xi Jinping himself) on Amazon, in English, should Americans be banned from accessing that foreign propaganda?

- Comment on Would lemmy benefit of implementing Polls? 1 week ago:
Potentially, but any amount of obfuscation opens up the system to abuse.
If you trust the server hosting the community to handle all encryption, it’s trivial for the admin to disable.
If you trust the server sending the vote, then it’s trivial for a server admin to game the system and send hundreds of votes.

Open polls are one of the few good things about Facebook.
- Comment on Would lemmy benefit of implementing Polls? 1 week ago:
One way encryption, same way passwords are stored.
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 1 week ago:
“Hitperson” makes it sound like some HR-designated position, awkwardly titled in some neutral, milquetoast way as not to offend anyone.
That was intentional, I’m happy someone noticed.
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 1 week ago:
The hitperson is the only competent employee left at Boeing.
- Comment on Gen Z mostly doesn't care if influencers are actual humans, new study shows 1 week ago:
They aren’t “real” people either way, even the human ones are just drones reading a script that someone paid them to read.
- Comment on Counterfeit Cisco gear ended up in US military bases, used in combat operations 1 week ago:
I suspect the plausible deniability of responsibility is a feature not a bug to many of the bureaucrats.
- Comment on Counterfeit Cisco gear ended up in US military bases, used in combat operations 1 week ago:
There are often companies that specialise in sourcing obsolete hardware, who just buy shit off Amazon/eBay and issue the correct paperwork.
- Comment on Does color change how hot a laser can get something? 1 week ago:
doesn’t have to be red or blue, it could be microwave or x ray
Technically those wouldn’t be LASER (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.) but MASER or XASER.
- Comment on Humans share the web equally with bots, report warns amid fears of ‘dead internet’ 1 week ago:
Eh, most of those will just be scrapers, and fediverse inter-server communication is technically a bot.
- Comment on Over 100 far-right militias are coordinating on Facebook 1 week ago:
Isn’t that a good thing? If facebook bans them they may actually learn what opsec means.
- Comment on How do you build complex shapes? 1 week ago:
“Wedge shaped”? as in at an angle, or tapered?
If you want tapered then openSCAD has scaled extrusion or hulls. I think Fusion has similar tools.
The way I do this in TinkerCad is that I build the hollow first
Open SCAD calls that “difference”.
If you’re working in fusion you usually want to start with a 2d sketch and extrude it. You would make each holder as a component and then attach them later.

When the next person uses a hammer, do you suggest we ban hammers?
Or when they ram their car into people, ban cars?
