I, too, have Rethink: DNS + Firewall + VPN installed. Prior to this I was using NetGuard.

Awesome! Where can I read further about this endeavor?

From the small thumbnail, I thought the graphic was showing pirate ships, not battle stations.

Darn! Well, at least the option is available for computer-less smartphone owners, I guess.

Can DeX be used with just an external monitor without a PC?

Absolutely!

I’m pretty sure @booly@sh.itjust.works was meaning the exact opposite, that it’s more about educating perpetrators than taking vengeance or merely dishing out old-fashioned justice on them.

Apparently, it was required to be allowed in that state:

Reading a bit more, during the sentencing phase in that state people making victim impact statements can choose their format for expression, and it’s entirely allowed to make statements about what other people would say. So the judge didn’t actually have grounds to deny it.
No jury during that phase, so it’s just the judge listening to free form requests in both directions.

It’s gross, but the rules very much allow the sister to make a statement about what she believes her brother would have wanted to say, in whatever format she wanted.

influence the sentence

From what I’ve seen, to be fair, judges’ decisions have varied wildly regardless, sadly, and sentences should be more standardized. I wonder what it would’ve been otherwise.

Perhaps; it seemed like they knew the decedent well enough to know that he would appreciate this, from everything that the article says. With that said, I also won’t be surprised if templates for wills or living trusts add a no-duplication statement by default over the coming years.

Thanks for sharing; I thought this was a fascinating read, especially since it ended on a positive note and not pure condemnation. It seems totally Black Mirror-esque, but I do wonder how many of the commentators here attacking it didn’t read the article. The family obviously didn’t make this decision lightly, given how much work it took to create it, and even the judge appreciated the novel approach. This is probably one of the best-case use scenarios relative to the abyss of unstoppable horror that awaits us.

Maybe they are in bed with ISPs.

omg you’ll be among the saviors of the world, given the way bees are going according to the news.

Since it’s already a Pandora’s box as it is, at least open-source is the least-worst way to go. All closed-source models are evil(er).

Gmail, Google Voice, Google Calendar, and WhatsApp Web are always pinned. Everything else is contextual!

Add the add-on/extension NoScript to her browser and at least have it block fbsbx.com, which seems to be totally unnecessary to allow, as the rest of the website seems to still function perfectly fine.

There are attendees who are both younger and older than me (mid-30s). To be fair, the group already gets <10 people per event on average, so I don’t think I could risk the slice right now. If we grew to over double that, then maybe I could revisit the topic.

why are people still using facebook?

I run a free board game group on there called West Allis Board Games. Believe me, I would like to leave Meta and I offer everyone https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn as a nonprofit alternative, but no one is on the latter and everyone is on the former. If you have any ideas on what I can do, I’m all ears eyes.

I asked the attendees about how they’d feel if we moved to a different platform and they immediately said they don’t want to handle dozens of accounts scattered across different platforms. I also advertise the group on related subreddits and, most recently, the locally relevant /c/ equivalents here.

Ironically… I myself found this through Reddit, no joke! But yeah, I hope to sway more people here.

Wow, infinite aliases?! This is way better than Fx Relay, thanks!

I rather have them using AI to create it than having to go searching for real content.

A rebuttal to this that I’ve read is that the easy access may encourage people to dig into it and eventually want “the real thing”… but regardless, with it being FOSS, there’s no easy way to stop it anyway… It’s just a Pandora’s box that we can never close.
