Banning billionnaires from participating in economics altogether until they hand it all back to society, increasing equity for all.

The way I like to think of it is this example. For clarity of explanation, let's assume these ones are mutually exclusive. (IRL, they may overlap but need not be). Let's assume the user wanting to increase privacy/security/anonymity is the 'sender', and the receiver is your threat model.

Privacy - you receive an unlabelled box. Upon opening the box, you can't exactly tell what is in there, only something. There's a receipt, but you can't read it.

Security - you receive a box from a sex toys store. You try to open it, but it takes way too much effort, so you don't bother.

Anonymity - you receive a box from a sex toy store. Upon opening it, you only find a sex toy, but don't find a receipt.


Bad practice would be to receive a box, clearly labelled as from a sex toys store (and it also is a sex toy). It's easily opened and you find a receipt telling you who ordered it.

Good practice is that you receive an unlabelled box, can't open it, and if you somehow managed to open it, you don't find a receipt. At most, you'd find there's something in there, but what?


Would that be a good illustration?

deleting files rule (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by birdwing to c/onehundredninetysix

I've been deleting old backups for hours and it takes way too long. But I guess that's what you get with 196,000 "parts/components/files" that have to be removed...

Anyone know why it'd take this long to simply delete files?

I've noticed this as well, YouTube enshittified so much more in the past few weeks. Unusable.

Even under completely unrelated vids and if you've never watched any orange man slop, it shows up.

I know when it's time to leave YT.

Also divided. A divided proletariat (class of wage earners) can make less of a fist against the elite.

I still don't really trust China, it's more reliable than the US regime (minus Democratic areas) rn, but still, that's a low bar.

Understood, I will use a scissor instead :3

(Jokes aside, it's best to get special bindtuck tools, like gaffs and binders).

I actually did find a Canadian site that's a queer- and worker-owned cooperative, which makes those, pretty cool.

i remember a greentext about this, and a wiki article, but where is it again? I thought it was the Norwegian oil platform disaster but no

there was some talk about how they got discombobulated and their bodies had gross dismemberment or something, being entirely suctioned through

edit: aha, found the article!

the causes:

  • employees were overworked
  • bad audio and noise caused miscommunication
  • entry/exit door was unsafely designed

Colourful NSFW description aheadInvestigation by forensic pathologists determined that Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the crescent-shaped opening measuring 60 centimetres long created by the jammed interior trunk door. With the escaping air and pressure, gross dismemberment ensued; it included bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which resulted in fragmentation of his body, followed by expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen, except the trachea and a section of small intestine. These were projected some distance from the bell, with one section being found 10 metres vertically above the exterior pressure door.

I watched a few vids of chickens developing in eggs without shells (see here for an example, somewhat graphic), and got to wonder.

You'd think that all the yolk is uniform and therefore it could develop anywhere, but is there an underlying mechanism that could cause the primitive streak and everything to develop near the centre? Maybe a sort of yolk density mechanism, that it starts where the yolk is densest? The furthest from oxygen exchange at the shell?

Or does such a mechanism not exist?

See title. Axel Springer bought Politico, and it has ties to the CIA, having received $7 million from them, as well tries to force Politico employees into supporting the genocidal apartheid state (Israel).

They also lack journalistic integrity in that they doxed freedom activists, such as those from Palestina.

There's more in here.

Concerns about arm hair growth

See title. I'm on HRT for over 11 months now, thoroughly enjoying it. I've a hunch the dose is a bit low, though. I get androgen blockers every 2-3 months, my last one was one month ago.

Normally my arm hairs aren't very visible, so I didn't have much dysphoria from that. However, recently my arm hair seems to be growing a lot and thicker, and I'm concerned. Is this normal?

My mum doesn't really have a lot of arm hair, nor do other gals in my family.

See title. A bit of a dumb question, but given my threat model, I'm curious if it's maybe strategically better to not rely on Proton for their VPN. If I rely too much on one provider, I think that that's not a good idea.
