Let’s say scientists can’t come up with solutions to global problems

We already have the solution, the French made it in the 1800. We just lack the will to use them again.

Don’t think it can. The copy paste function is a function of the operating system not the application.

You can export your settings and import them to a new instance.

You can’t take your post or comments, but block lists and subscriptions are exportable.

Don’t think so. There is also nothing stopping an instance admin to patch Lemmy to ignore delete requests.

That it is pay to win like shitty mobile games.

sudo sleep [3h?] | sudo apt dist-upgrade -y

There is no doubt governments hoard 0-day vulnerabilities. We saw that with the Shadow Brokers and Eternal Blue.

When a government says they can’t break into a system, what they are really saying is we don’t want to tell the court how we did this in order to establish the chain of custody for evidence also , we don’t want the vendor to fix it.

With all that said there are limits. Like being able to listen to your phone when it’s off, or turn it on remotely is just wrong

Remember how Telegram said they would stop providing Chinese authorities with user data during the Hong Kong protests. Implying that they were doing it at some stage.

Also remember how the FBI have said in several leaked documents they hate signal because the only data they get is when the user signed up and the last time they were online, nothing else.

Which app would you rather use?

Never said I was.

Become a ward of the state or another family member.

Why do you need to justify it?

Being the smartest person in the room means you have nothing new to learn from those in the room. That sucks.

When you aren’t the smartest in the room you should take the opportunity to talk with those smarter people to expand your knowledge and to do some networking. As much as I hate it socialisation works wonders in professional circles.

There is also Voyager.

For you yes, for the rest of us who don’t want to see that content, we are rather happy.

What you would find is an instance allowing that content would be defederated from just about everyone really quickly.

I said Mongo, not Princess Donut.

Not likely going to see it on a general server. Threads like that comes up on 4chans gif board every so often. Might be better for you to go there.

Would you also not want to have Mongo as your pet?

All good mate.

No. Would you support a project that has a security issue like what N++ had but said nothing?

Yes. How an org reacts to security incidents is one of the gauges I use to see if a project should be supported.
