I’ve always been envious of people with great social skills. I could accomplish a lot more if I had them. The glasses for sure.

I don’t doubt anything you said, except for the last paragraph.

Ken Bone did an AMA on the same account that he commented on porn subs with - that was not a result of surveillance programs.

Self hoster here, im nuking all of pictrs. People are sick. Luckily I did not see anything, however I was subscribed to the community.

• Did a shred on my entire pictrs volume (all images ever):

sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs -type f -exec shred {} \;

• Removed the pictrs config in lemmy.hjson

• removed pictrs container from docker compose

Anything else I should to protect my instance, besides shutting down completely?

Like I’m not getting ahead no matter how hard I try

Probably not bc lemmy.world is probably the most censored instance at this point

They don’t want to at all but I’ve chained them to the desk and propped their eyes open clockwork orange style. They have no choice but to watch me remove Windows

Hexbear is a leftist instance. People interpret any criticism of Democrats as coming from the right instead of the left.

Also, Hexbear refers to both Dems and Republicans as liberals. In the US, “liberal” usually only refers to social liberalism. The definition of liberalism elsewhere in the world includes liberal conservatism.

I wonder what actual Chinese people think, anyone originally from China able to weigh in?

Bingo!

They wanted to give it a try so win-win for both of us if they end up liking it.

Awesome, thanks for this! Looks promising, I’ll check it out.

Oops, thank you for the heads up!

You are reading into this post a bit too deeply and inferring a lot of things from my post that I never said. I am not forcing my partner into this and they have not expressed disinterest.

Why not just try to get it to run on your machine?

I wanted to gauge the level of effort involved first. I easily can sink hours into tinkering something and getting it to eventually work but sometimes it isn’t worth it.

Nope

That’s a good and sadly realistic point.

I read a forum post back in the day about a guy that forced his wife and kids to use FreeBSD and they hated it. It was pretty funny but I also don’t want to be that guy
