lemmyverse.net … for the next time you’re wondering “does x community already exist on Lemmy?”

No it fucken doesn’t.

Nicest thing I’ve seen/heard/thought about facebook in a hot minute.

You need to broaden your horizons. There’s more to life than cute Hentai buttholes.

Althought, I guess I can see not wanting to acknowlege prolapse and so many other horrors some of these represent.

The Demo-pol is coming. Westworld Season 2 is comming. Can’t wait to see how the expiriment goes “wrong”.

For one I trust? Never actually used one, sorry. I’ve used faxburner, for faxing, without issue, but it doesn’t look like they offer SMS.

I mean, finding ways around that is the whole point of Posts like this one?

Personally, I use different browsers for different purposes on a rando Android phone(+vpn for torrents). I watch this community to try to stay abreast of current privacy/security issues, but I don’t make much effort to live it, as I’ll go dark long before I’ll really have anything to hide.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go bitch at the librarians again, for disposing of the microfiche after they digitized it.

burner SMS. Burner dummy Google account strictly for age-restricted content. I don’t really see what’s to lose?

Also, you can turn off 2FA, so the number is only “needed” if you forget your password and/or lose access to the backup e-mail.

Bunch of services out there offering Free SMS Numbers for 2FA. You might also try searching “Burner SMS”, but anyways, there are options.

Shiiit … I’m just over hear in the midwest US, slightly relieved to learn that Crypo.com is based in Singapore.

That said, how the hell is Europe still guzzling this cloud kool-aide? Is a Jelly-fin, LDAP/etc, and/or Database server really so much more than cities of millions’ infrastructure peeps can wrap their minds around?

Oh right, ars is US-centric. The point of the article is to make the EU sound like helpless morons. Guess I might have to edit this comment after I read the article … nevermind, any additional nuance is down to the number of words they spent saying little of consequence. The myopia is more big-tech and cloud-centric than anything along national lines.

Of course the first “expert opinion” quote is from a Tesla employee. Otoh, it seems obvious the timeline is too ambitious, but the “starting from zero” line seems like bullshit as well, considering how much auto manufacturing already takes place in Mexico.

I know I’m in the minority, being less afraid of a Nuclear-armed Iran and/or North Korea than the sheer idiocy and malice of US foreign policy, since '98 or so, but it blows my mind more and more how people just can’t see it.

An invasion takes millions of lives, full-stop. There’s no way either country gets enough ICBM’s in the air to offset their entire territories being turned into glass parking lots. The cost-benefits ratio for both sides in all this posturing only makes sense if there’s a shared goal to keep their dictators in power.

Surprised I haven’t seen this suggested here yet: Pirate the music and anonymously mail money to the artists directly.

I’ve never made an attempt at an anonymous checkout there, but Beatport.com offers a lot of lossless music I couldn’t find anywhere else on-line.

Had me thinking I just never noticed the social media platform was misspelled before…

Did you?

You yourself aren’t even using a lemmy.world account. Your take on the matter is backwards and bizarre.

lemmy.world is NOT “Lemmy”

Hell, during the great reddit migration, if I recall correctly, lemmy.world had to cap sign-ups.

The userbase and lack of content curation/moderation has everything to do with that. The Chinese version gets a whallop of censorship as well, but yeah, their motivation to help other countries educate the young or avoid brain-rot is well in the negatives.

I mean, if TikTok US were more like TikTok China, with emphasis on educational content, there would never have been a problem.
