Wow that is really blue, checks background color:

Regarding the USA point, from the article, there are many indications that the site was founded by someone from Russia:

But in October 2025, the FBI sent a subpoena to domain registrar Tucows seeking “subscriber information on [the] customer behind archive.today” in connection with “a federal criminal investigation being conducted by the FBI.” We wrote about the subpoena, and our story included a link to Patokallio’s 2023 blog post in a sentence that said, “There are several indications that the [Archive.today] founder is from Russia.”

This is the link to the 2023 blog post: https://gyrovague.com/2023/08/05/archive-today-on-the-trail-of-the-mysterious-guerrilla-archivist-of-the-internet/

It would be nice if the clients could group cross-posts or posts with the same URL, so that you don’t see duplicate content in the feed. Like right now with the posts regarding changes with Discord, there are 3 posts in the top 20 of my Hot feed, two of which that are cross-posted and another with the same press release URL. Everytime I cross post, I feel bad for people who follow both communities since i know i’m cluttering up their feed, so I do so sparingly, but there are other users who seem to be cross post happy.

yeah, it’s annoying when people say that there are “no algorithms” here, since that’s not true. There should be a better way to distinguish sorting/visibility algorithms vs algorithms to drive engagement/outrage.

I assume that most institutions that are still active are only active to promote themselves, and mirroring the same content from instagram to X, and not actually engaging with the fans like in the early days of Twitter.

Look, you’re famous!

I would hope that in 25-50 years from now, gendered locker rooms and bathrooms will be a thing of the past, and slowly replaced with individual unisex stalls. Maybe for high volume places (like a stadium or airport) there will still be bathrooms with a wall of urinals, but those will probably not be labeled “men’s” and will just be urinals.

This may be unpopular to some, but I think there should be more interoperability between Lemmy and Mastadon. I know from Mastadon you can @mention Lemmy communities, but most users don’t know about that. Maybe depending on the privacy settings of a Mastadon post, if that could be “forwarded” to a Lemmy community as a post, and it would be useful for many who follow a community in Lemmy but not the author or hashtag in Mastadon. It’d also be nice to be able to follow people who use Mastadon and have that show up in your feed on Lemmy.

I hate LinkedIn, but having a way to keep in contact with former co-workers is good from a networking perspective for finding a new job. Someone I hadn’t talked to in 10 years reached out with a position they were hiring for, and that’s not something I would have been looking for or known about.

The useful parts of LinkedIn are managing business acquaintances, and it’d be cool if there were a decentralized privacy preserving way to be able to maintain that contact list of people, without it being used to harvest data for some data broker somewhere.

This isn’t scientific, but was recently listening to a podcast where they interviewed someone (18 minutes in) who does laundry for the Nets basketball team, and he said that the dryer basically bakes in any sweat or blood or stains which don’t get washed off before. I’m not sure how this affects longevity of the fabric, but from a usability standpoint, if your clothes are permanently stained, you probably will stop wearing them.

Sounds like a great way to get fired from a job. Mirror as much as you can from him while he still has it up, but also probably limit it so that the bandwidth doesn’t raise any alarms.

With P2P file sharing, your client is sharing the files with random people on the internet and you’re identified by your IP address (or a VPN IP address / seedbox IP address / etc). MPAA hires companies to check for popular content and log the IP address, time, and content shared, and then sends that to the ISP. The risk and issue is sharing content with anyone randomly, since that is how your ISP is informed of the activity.

With media servers, unless you’re somehow sharing publicly, it’s safe to assume your members aren’t going to report you to your ISP. I guess in theory the ISP could see high upload bandwidth and investigate, but more likely than not, if there are limits, automated systems will just throttle the bandwidth, and no deep packet inspection or other forensics is performed.

Good on you, but I would never pirate Ready Player One, let alone pay $0.50 for it.

if you download a file (not via BitTorrent), your downloaded file will have the same hash as the person who shared it with you, but that doesn’t mean you were the sender.

Check if they’re on ICE List and if not, get proof and if they are ICE, get them on here.

Yeah that’s what’s holding me back from a big upgrade. 64 GB of RAM is nice, but it’s DDR3 and AFAIK I need a whole new mobo and cpu to get to newer DDR

you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

it was sold to a swedish company that plans to develop/support it further. Hopefully they do it well.

Narrator: They aren’t

I’m still on my desktop build from 2011, except I have slowly upgraded parts over the years like the ship of theseus
