This shows so much privilege. Apartments, townhomes, condominiums. Sometimes you’re scrolling through pages of Wi-Fi networks from your neighbors looking for your own SSID right next to the device.

Yeah, you can’t do shit about open Wi-Fi networks near you and promiscuous devices.

At Midnight! OMG super in joke on our really niche, non pop culture website.

In English the ‘base’ of the word is ‘operate’. Co, an affix ( prefix ) modifies operate and means something like ‘operate together’, and can even be written as co-operative ( noun ) or co-operate ( verb, but antiquated in my opinion ) .

So it’s usually written without the dash, but when it’s shorted to ‘coop’ I think it’s best to use the dash as it removes ambiguity.

Depends on the size of the flock in the coop

Eventually decentralized services with anonymity will be killed by the EU, they already want to stop all text encryption, the way anyone can stand up a server and run it however it’s already in conflict with the GDPR.

Microsoft saw Google and Apple do this with phones, and Steam do this with games, and that’s why they made the Windows store a thing starting with 8.

They wanted to go the same direction.

Yes, that’s the implication, and it’s certainly intentional for you to think of it like that.

Unironically yes, you would not know who Spiderman was without viewing a copyrighted work demonstrating what he looks like, and now you understand while generative AI fundamentally has to ingest copyrighted works.

Not true in the US, but commonly stated by Americans like it’s fact.

European Union regulation will probably threaten the very principles that the Fediverse functions on, potentially making Lemmy illegal anywhere in the EU because it’s not auditable enough, or doesn’t meet data retention or some kind of consumer privacy law.

The EU is a threat to the Fediverse unfortunately.

From Western media in English. You’re in a cultural and linguistic bubble online where people who think like you ( or within an expected range of dissenting opinions ) post and respond.

The ideas and values you see and even have fall into a range that believe it or not is different in other communities, often segregated by language.

It’s hard to explain if you’re a monolinguist, but the language you speak includes ideas and cultural nuance for idea that doesn’t often cross the language and cultural boundaries.

Honestly if you’re living in a Western country, you are a victim of major anti North Korean propaganda that goes all the way back to the Korean War.

Like, North Korea is nowhere near as bad as people think, and it’s people are fairly happy, yes the government censors and controls media, but it also creates a unified and strong society with far less division than all these Western countries tearing themselves down the middle about which party is less evil.

There is essentially no way to enforce, or even monitor this, like it’s fundamentally impossible without controlling everything from stl creation, to weapon construction.

I used it a decade ago and it was my favorite distro

TVs have a UHF switch so I can finally watch more channels. I really hate putting tinfoil on the rabbit ears and opening the window to sometimes get these new channels though, but they work better if I hold onto the antenna. It’s hard to see what I’m watching if I do this, but at least I can mostly hear what they’re saying, and the picture is dark anyway, so even if I could see at this angle, it would be too dark and snowy.

Disrespectfully I disagree

It’s alright for anyone to discuss and have opinions on anything.

Cool, what’s a reasonable replacement?
