Some of it is though. For example, they take forever to update their servers when new versions of Lemmy are released and it often breaks compatibility with apps. They also have constant service disruption. Even if it is ddos attacks, they should be trying to mitigate them.
I'm a Linux user, so I use .gz and .bz primarily for compression. If I just need to archive without compression I'll just make a tarball. People on windows never complain. Maybe it's just that I'm in the IT field, but most people have an archiving program installed. Plus, I am pretty sure Win11 can open most archive formats natively now.
I think you misunderstand the reason they need to fight fake news. It's for the boomers. Kids these days are very media literate and skeptical of everything. It's really all the boomers who are falling for misinformation and spreading it on Facebook.
I have network wide ad blocking with a PiHole server. I've also got a Wireguard VPN server so I can connect to have PiHole ad blocking on my phone while I'm out.
Same. I have a PiHole on my home network and it blocks the ads in Sync. I still see the empty box where the ad would be though. If I am out of the house the only way I can get that ad blocking back is by connecting to my home VPN server.
When I was a kid (way too many years ago) my parents gave up trying to restrict my Internet usage because no matter what they did I could easily get around it. I knew more about networking than they did. Then I grew up to become an IT administrator.
I can make different rules based on the device group with PiHole.
This is what fascism looks like folks.
They are an embarrassment to Americans.
Yeah, pretty much.
MM-DD-YYYY is the only way. I can't stand the way you Europeans do it.

It has gotten orders of magnitude worse since Elmo took over.

Damn! Is Pennsylvania becoming Florida?
I'm on Lemmy.world. I just picked it because it was one of the biggest, but I haven't been entirely happy with it.
Wow. Imagine that. It's almost as if when you let neo-nazis and far right rats take over a platform it becomes a toxic environment.
Most of the top Nazi officials escaped to Argentina, and the more talented scientists ended up working for the US government.
Yeah, I don't have any kids yet, but if I did I would do the same.

I don't have any kids yet (I'm 32) but I do have a small business class network. 😂

Yeah, I agree. I have replaced all my C-to-C cables with 2 meter cables. The 1 meter cables are just too damn short.
Yeah, with MAC randomization being readily available on pretty much any device now it is also pretty useless.
