lol. India is just like Trump - did something wrong and is now throwing a tantrum when they’re being called out on it.

What a disappointing guy. The least he could have done was take out Putin before he died.

this is a barbaric act with no regard for human life.

It’s Russia, were you surprised?

I’d rather have a system that’s compatible with both apple and android phones. A car is supposed to last decades; it’s the absolute last place I want a walled garden.

But boomer bosses need to physically see their workers sitting in chairs, they need that feeling of power!

ah, the north korean playbook

jesus

A single billionaire harms the earth an order of magnitude more in a single year than most small towns will in a decade

But if you and your family stop using plastic straws, turn the heat down in winter, meticulously sort all your recycling and use public transport more for the next decade, you can help Jeff Bezos offset the emissions for his next weekend trip to the Maldives!

this is just fucked up.

Just North Korean doing North Korean things.

These sort of fines should always be tied to a percentage of the company revenue to be meaningful.

As yes, taking the North Korean playbook of saying “We’ve always wanted peace, why are you blocking my punches? Let me hit you quietly!”

“Metaverse”? isn’t that already dead lol

I’m sure Zelenskyy knows this isn’t realistic, it’s just politicking.

good.

i’ll wait for the confirmed results.

Beehaw got their knickers in a twist because of some spammers, back when lemmy.world and shitjustworks had… maybe 30,000 registered users in total. The solution there was adding more moderators. You don’t chop your leg off because you got a few papercuts.

If you look at the volume of bots (some instances went from hundreds of users to >12,000 overnight), that’s potential for worry. There’s ~500,000 bot accounts sitting out there waiting to be activated. No amount of moderators can block that fast enough, and that’s when de-federation should be considered.

You’re right that captchas can be bypassed, but I disagree that they’re useless.

Do you lock your house? Are you aware that most locks can be picked and windows can be smashed?

captchas can be defeated, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless - they increase the level of friction required to automate malicious activity. Maybe not a lot, but along with other measures, it may make it tricky enough to circumvent that it discourages a good percentage of bot spammers. It’s the “Swiss cheese” model of security.

Registration applications stop bots, but it also stops legitimate users. I almost didn’t get onto the fediverse because of registration applications. I filled out applications at lemmy.ml and beehaw.org, and then forgot about it. Two days later, I got reminded of the fediverse, and luckily I found this instance that didn’t require some sort of application to join.

Haven’t you heard of the “Swiss cheese” model of security?

The best way to ensure your server is protected is to unplug it from the Internet and put it in an EMF-shielded Faraday cage.

There’s always a tradeoff between security, usability and cost.
