"A key question in the case was how the message got out, considering Snapchat is an encrypted app.

One theory, raised in the trial, was that it could have been intercepted via Gatwick’s Wi-Fi network. But a spokesperson for the airport told BBC News that its network “does not have that capability”.

In the judge’s resolution, cited by the Europa Press news agency, it was said that the message, “for unknown reasons, was captured by the security mechanisms of England when the plane was flying over French airspace”."

How many things does 1 person want to stream at once?

Well, they run Afghanistan and af is the country code. They picked a domain that they thought was cute, funny or clever and didn’t consider longevity or risk. It’s on them. If I make a website. I won’t pick a silly extension that won’t survive long.

If you’re on the country code, you open yourself up to risk. ml has been a risk before.

Your headline is misleading though. Taliban didn’t kill it. Admin did.

Or MineClone2 on Minetest if you like the digging aspect.

I’m not sure I agree with the premise of this. Its approaching it as if it is psychological. We have already seen studies that have shown conditions like this such as ME/CFS and long covid have a physiological component to them.

Any positive result of this is likely because of either more exposure to the outside world which could fit in with pacing, or patients feeling happier and the pain, fatigue feeling less of a burden.

It would be nice if they spent more studies testing approaches based on actual conditions rather than reapplying silver bullets to everything. CBT is a useful psychological treatment, but physiological conditions need a physiological approach.

Edit: imagine applying CBT with cancer and patients feeling happier and less pain. It doesn’t mean it treated the condition, it treated symptoms or emotions. These approaches feel like a joke.

I’m a dirty fucker, and that is the first I’ve heard of it. It may be your bag, but it ain’t common or commonly known.

Why not just use Reddit? It is huge, and mainstream?

Why are you here and what do you like about it?

If you leave it too long, folks will just register for another instance, and all momentum will be gone.

I wouldn’t take too long getting the rescue boat out when folk are in the ocean…

Threads users didn’t sign up, it used their Instagram account. Even if they used it once, they click across, and boom, account there and they cannot delete that Threads account after. An initial day registration does not mean a MAU. It’s like saying MySpace is huge now because everyone had an account…

Edit: Usage plumetted massively- https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/aug/14/threads-app-slump-daily-active-users-twitter-competition

I mean, they can easily flood the ratings and sure All is just Threads content, then you’re not getting involved in Lemmy/Mastodon content, you’re just talking and engaging on content sustaining Threads and your comments are probably helping engagement next to adverts displayed to users.

It isn’t a good proposition, at all.

Meta doesn’t do anything that doesn’t benefit their bottom line, especially for their ad business.

Is it? After the initial account register, it looked like it was running out of steam. I’d be surprised it lasted long without something new.

I mean, the last point is weird. They’d never say that, and do not care about the illusion of being open.

Point 1 is true.

Point 2, what makes you think federation will make millions of users want to move away, or even know folk are on another service. They’ll probably censor the word lemmy and every lemmy address to avoid folk advertising away. The fediverse will just be filled with nonsense data and they’ll pull the stuff that helps their platforms and keeps people hooked on the teet. Without that data, they may not be at critical mass to sustain Threads and it might eventually die. With that and Twitter going to pot, avoiding federation actually helps Mastodon as it provides a distinguishable separate entity that has reached critical mass and has significant good will with the user base that motivates them to keep sharing content.

I mean it’s pretty obvious I have used my account consistently for months.

You do realise you can support the concept of discussing with people that you disagree with. Echo chambers aren’t healthy, or normal, unless you’re very young and the internet has always been that way for you.

Ah, interesting. Wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for sharing.

As I said, I’ve seen a LOT of Lemmy folk claim toxicity and zero examples. The ones that provided examples was weak AF. When it goes past individual cases to a narrative with little backing up, I kind of need to see something substantial to believe it. We all know believing stuff we read online from internet strangers never goes well. We are knee deep in comments here, and comments on any thread tend to deviate. It’s kind of the whole charm of things like reddit and Lemmy.

Link, please. I’m open minded but I’d like to see some evidence so I can make up my own mind on this.

lemm.ee isn’t left wing, they just don’t believe in knee jerk defederation. Check the post on defederation by the lemm.ee instance runner (https://lemm.ee/post/4543536). Very mature, very balanced and very principled. Compare that to the lemmy.world one, and it’s a no contest.

I’m a socialist, and while I think tankies have a dumb conclusions (that Stalin and CCP are good things), I have not seen anything I would consider toxic. Seems that people cannot handle large images. Maybe in a world where caps lock is shouting, that’s toxic. Not for me though.

Can you explain what a targeted harassment campaign is, and give examples. I’ve heard many people claim this, but I’ve never seen anyone provide evidence.

world won’t defederate from the right without a long drawn out process (see Exploding Heads for example). However, if someone posts “Karl Marx is great” or “Communism makes sense” or “capitalism is bad”, you’ll probably see a defederation before the enter key is hit. (Hexbear).

lemm.ee or lemmy.ml are where it’s at. I don’t think it’s great for power or userbase to be focussed on one instance. lemm.ee has 0.19 and world doesn’t despite their junior and senior infrastructure folk from their full 7 week interview process for volunteer positions.

Edit: People are on Lemmy likely because the actions of corporate Reddit went too far. In what universe would that demographic be cool with Facebook…
