My father was once falsely accused of being a bak’targ. Calling Gowron Law helped restore honour to my house. 35/9 great service.

Can’t you chuck it back into a reactor and reuse it that way, to help reduce the radioactivity, and get more power back out of it?

This is Kirk and Riker slander.

Kirk doesn’t deserve that kind of reputation, whereas Riker does.

Slight shame that the contractors didn’t start from the end. It could have been funnier if they had taken off the “er” instead.

Or shut them down, given the recent debacle with Amazon shutting down someone’s account, disabling their devices in the process.

Kbin has a report function, although I don’t know if reports Federate. They might not.

Lemmy does do reporting, although it’s not clear whether it’s just moderators, or whether the admins will also receive them.

no headphone jack means you may need to purchase wireless headphones or earbuds and wireless earbuds don’t always have replaceable batteries

They’re also more expensive, even if fairphone does offer their own headphones.

A cheap set of decent wired earphones is $10. $30 if you want something nice, like an IEM.

Bluetooth headphones don’t tend to be quite as cheap, and are usually a good deal more.

Although you can’t both charge the phone/use pripherals, like a keyboard/mouse and use headphones in that case, unless you’re using one of the few phones with 2+ USB-C ports, and wireless charging can be cumbersome.

Especially since doing that will let you Federate through compromised comments, and possibly affect other instances using the Federation network, unless they’re updated.

Yes. They got hacked. An admin account got compromised, and the hackers exploited a bug in Lemmy-UI (the web site) that let them do things like redirect users to another site that let them run Javscript. It seems to have let them collect some user tokens from accounts, and access an admin account that way.

Others did get hacked, or are vulnerable to it, but aren’t big enough targets?

Beehaw is closed, so they would have had to have an existing account to exploit the same bug (or go through something like Kbin), and Lemmy.world is the biggest Lemmy instance.

And if they could do that, someone else could use the same trick to do worse things, since they’re just running bare JavaScript.

No. The existing Lemmy-Lite that was advertised on join-Lemmy.org appears to be massively out of date, and no longer actively maintained.

It was a bug with Lemmy-UI, so you might be able to get away using an app or site that isn’t vulnerable. Whether that is Wefwef, one of the apps, like Jerboa, or something that is Federated, but not Lemmy, like Kbin, or Mastodon (things might be a bit clunky if you do, since Lemmy threads aren’t well handled by Mastodon).

That sounds like a horrid decision. Imagine having to troubleshoot a relative’s computer, which isn’t working because their internet is down, or is too slow to support streaming Windows like that.

It just sounds like a nightmare all-round, both from a Microsoft Standpoint, since they would have to build all the hardware to support it, people who would have to troubleshoot an issue that might show up on either the local or networked version of Windows, but not both, and from a security standpoint, since it seems like it would make it a lot easier to just hijack the whole computer using that kind of mechanism, with the user being none the wiser, for the most part.

It’s also accessible with <WinKey> + ;. Not quite sure why Windows has multiple shortcuts for the same menu, but there we are.

Unless it’s using the Registry for some config values.

The regulations did exist, but the CEO/company just ignored/sidestepped them (and was quoted as complaining about them being onerous).

In fairness, that’s probably more due to the novelty of the disaster, more so than whoever was actually on board.

A refugee boat sinking is a tragedy, but it’s also not novel in the eyes of the media (and might be difficult to report on, depending on local laws). It happens with enough regularity that it’s considered another tragedy, in much the same way that America doesn’t report all their mass shootings (they tend to have one for almost every day of the year), or how the local paper usually doesn’t report every robbery and homicide.

The submarine incident is a bit more like a plane crash by comparison, which is rare and novel enough that it’s worth reporting on, irrespective of whoever is on board. Particularly with the other facts being dug up, which only added fuel to the fire.
