Nobody has mentioned librewolf, which is a fantastic out of the box privacy browser. It's a Firefox fork.

Not all the clothing anyone wears in a plant. Clothing special for contamination areas. They also do scans at thresholds and anything you carry with you that gets contaminated is confiscated. Nuclear plants genuinely have a level of safety in the us that is pretty hard to comprehend, it's all done out of an abundance of caution more than a genuine need for it. Not quite security theater, just a very high degree of security.

Linux basedphones os will surely pop up rapidly if that were to happen at least.

This is almost more distressing on a few levels than the original story..

Part of the problem is that bots unfairly empower the speech of those with resources to dominate and dictate the conversation space, even in good effort, it disempowers everyone else. Even the act ofseeing the same ideas over and over can sway whole zeitgeists. Now imagine what bots cab do by dictating the bulk of what's even talked about at all.

The problem is nazis know their arguments are unreasonable. They don't believe them either, they are just rhetorical devices, and they know it.

But every argument with a nazi is just another chance for some rando who has no idea what's going on to get sucked into the nazi pipeline.

Beehaw is lovely and everyone is free to do as they please, but I genuinely think everyone on social medias should be striving for something like what Beehaw is. It's a pipe dream, but trying to aggressively foster positivity and counter outrage is just good hygiene. Negativity breeds negativity and it's extremely difficult to keep spaces positive, but I think there's also a path dependence here that has made the internet so much more toxic than it needs to have been, even off of other social medias which have encouraged that exact toxicity for the ease of clicks. It's frustrating seeing all the misrepresentations of what beehaw is, out and about, but oh well. Appreciate the levelheaded view on the defederations.

I find it highly dubious that there are any cultures where there are no preachy people.

But even if I grant that, that's still missing the point. There is little self organization for atheistic and related people in the US. Regardless of other countries (where the issue would still exist even moreso if people genuinely never talked about religion) in the US there is no community organizing. The entire point of this article is that while say, christians can generally find community easily and find broader community outside of their direct churches and sects, they also barely ever feel any stigma about admitting to being christian, regardless of how much they may claim that they are because they don't live in a theocracy. On the other hand, atheists in most of the country, along with minority belief systems here, rarely feel comfortable sharing at risk of genuine social ramifications.

If your ideal of "nobody is right" were actually achieved, people wouldn't care about sharing or not sharing religion, that's the point of acceptance. You're really missing the point here. I get it, you prefer when people keep their beliefs to themselves, that's not really relevant to the point of the article, and is instead just furthering the negative stigma about allowing people who are non-christian to share and be open about parts of their identity.

You kid but one of the main points here is that they are hiding it when prompted and are suffering genuine mental health issues for it. Less about being preachy and more actively hiding a part of their identity to avoid negative social outcomes

This is to catch people with modified exhausts to generate unsafe noise levels.

As the article pointed out, people are getting 100 db on their patios. As much as it'd be nice to let and let live, the point is these cars are already not letting live.

Whether the additional surveillance is justified in general is a different question, but it's important not to misrepresent the issue.

To be honest it feels like making perfect the enemy of good if the initial cell lines able to support billions of cows worth of meat without killing those cows at the sacrifice of a few cows in the first place. But there are plenty of idealists out there who would reject that train of thought, so oh well.

But we'll get there either way.

A universal login system would be either:

An absolute nightmare of security

Or just a centralized service with extra steps.

The fix to the issue here is just implementing account migration.
