Why? Imagine your house’s door doesn’t work so you have to make a long trip through the back. You keep asking your partner to fix it. They insist they’ll get the door working. Either they can’t or don’t, doesn’t matter, but you have the money and are willing to pay for someone to fix it. Your partner insists they can fix it. I think it’s reasonable to say something like “if it’s not fixed in two weeks I’m paying someone to fix it.”

3·9 hours agoCRT TVs have a very iconic high pitched noise. It’s somewhat similar to the sound of tinnitus. Combine that with some people not being able to hear those high pitched noises very well (especially as they age) it makes sense that you may have been able to hear them but not really consciously be aware of it.

21·13 hours agokinda like if I would point out people shouldn’t engage with you since you’re an aggressive troll.
Just leaving this here. I’ll let others decide which of the two of us is the aggressive troll based on it. Your actions speak for themselves. I disagreed with you and you keep harassing me over it.

Says the person who is still going through my comment history and down voting things. Every accusation you’ve made is a confession.

91·21 hours agoPublic mod logs mean that, while it can still happen, everybody knows it’s happening. There is no guessing. There is no gaslighting. It’s public. It’s much easier to deal with problematic mods/admins/instance owners when it is public.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 DaysEnglish
2·1 day agoIt’s so infuriating to me that there isn’t a way to just encrypt traffic without verifying it’s part of a chain. By all means, give a nag warning in browsers, but ugh, I think that ship has long since sailed. Plus, realistically, you’d need just as many scary warnings to deter the average user that they might be getting MITMed.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 DaysEnglish
3·1 day agoCan you not issue your own certificate? I guess it depends on how many devices and what types of devices need to connect. It’s be a one time effort per device (importing your own self signed cert) versus one time effort per service per X days.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Hillary Clinton Says Young Americans Are Pro-Palestine Because They Watch ‘Totally Made Up’ Videos of Gaza HorrorsEnglish
31·1 day agoThe article is from December 2nd, though maybe the conference is from much earlier, so barring that… The fucking UN said on September 16th that “Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip.” It’s absolutely infuriating that people are still viewing this as something controversial or debatable. I was naively hoping that once the UN used the big G word (genocide) that more moderate politicians (being incredibly generous calling them moderate) would finally start acting like it’s a genocide.

3·2 days agoDon’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
It’s like, I get the idea of saying “this user is searching for a program they don’t have, let’s link to it” but then they’re like “oh what if we searched for everything?” and then someone else is was like “And what if we put ads in to monetize it!” Then that last person probably got a bonus.

News@lemmy.world•Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffsEnglish
11·2 days agolol, seriously? Do you check your comments religiously to see how they are being voted on? This has to be the saddest thing I’ve seen online in long while.
It’s very funny to me that you do something petty and get caught, and your only defense is “oh yeah? Well it’s actually sad that you noticed I did this.”
Mind you, from your comments we can see that you’re just an incredibly aggressive person and frequently get downvoted. So of course you would want to know who it is and harass them.
The passive aggressive thing going on is harassing me by down voting all my posts. You’re just upset that you got caught.
You’re exactly the reason public logs are an issue. You think every thing is a slight against you. Don’t say stupid shit, don’t get downvoted, what a shocker.
Obviously you think public logs are a problem because you got caught being petty and passive aggressive.

81·3 days agoIn case anyone is reading this thinking “nah, there won’t be a time I wish I listened,” take it from me that I do. I worry a lot about the current political climate in the US and about talking about queer topics online. Like, obviously, today it sounds insane to worry about, but who fucking knows.
For fuck’s sake, they’re using period tracker apps to go after people for suspected abortions to charge them with “murder”.

Coming from the person who just admitted to going through days of my comments to down vote them.
Also, for those watching from home, it was over a dozen comments. Not “a couple.”
