well, there it is

Now we understand what the "National Security Threat" was all this time, not that it wasn't painfully obvious from the jump. Every other major social media platform is in bed with the Feds, giving them access to whatever they wish at a moment's notice. The "threat" to the nation isn't foreign influence it's domestic influence. If they can't have backend access to the system to monitor these domestic threats, then the whole system is a threat. If you are using TikTok as a means of ORGANIZING then you are a THREAT to the NATIONAL SECURITY because the Feds can't WATCH YOU LIKE A HAWK.

At one point, TikTok reportedly altered language that would have allowed government officials to demand changes to the apps recommendations algorithm if it promoted content the agencies disagreed with.

But but but... MUH FREEZ PEACH!

I feel you. I've been officially diagnosed with ADHD for maybe 10 years now, but only recently learned that having ADHD is explicitly covered under the ADA. It's one of the main reasons why it's still called ADHD even though Attention Deficit Hyperactivity isn't an accurate description of the actual underlying mechanics of the disorder (and disorder is also contested because often there as just as many positive traits as there are negative traits in people with ADHD). If anyone wants to read more opinions on the naming of ADHD, I found these two articles just now that are pretty informative:

It's not because employers find out and fire you, it's because they place nerotypical expectations on you that might be unrealistic and lead you to "performance" issues that lead to your firing.

By getting a official diagnosis you become a protected class and they have to reasonably accommodate you. I don't know exactly how it works in Canada. In the US you'll be protected by the ADA.

It's the difference between getting written up for wearing headphones while you work, to being legally protected for doing so.

This is the real horseshoe theory. You get so conservative brained that you start doing rad lib shit but for boys and men.

Edit: homie is out there talking about "the gender binary" and "boys are under attack" like get me a neck brace I think I have whiplash.

It's funny, when you explain it, my IT hat goes on and I totally get it lol. I guess the context felt different enough that I didn't get it. But I work with Windows domains all day and that's exactly how DNS operates in that environment.

Ultimately I think for a tunnel you'll end up with your records pointing to your VPS. So you'll have a *.domain.tld CNAME record and maybe a @ CNAME record and your nginx server on the other end of the tunnel would handle the routing.

I saw this and I think it's what I'm going to do too. I figure I can just configure it with my existing nginx information and go from there.

 

Like instapaper or Firefox's readability function. Something I can pitch a url too and get back a stripped down version of the article with a shareable URL. No idea if this exists.

I've been meaning to ask this question: What news sites, blogs, and journalists do you follow for news and current events?

Maybe we'll set up a repository somewhere for people to reference, that can be updated over time as people and publications become more or less relevant/reliable.

From the responses:

 

I know I'm technically part of the problem but this thread got me thinking about the Endless September. I'm pretty sure the numbers in the linked thread are inflated, but regardless, this definitely feels like a turning point for the preexisting LemmyNet culture.

So I'm sure we've seen posts/comments like this recently. It gets me wondering if there isn't a way to create a unified experience across Lemmy instances.

My thinking would be to build a browser extension that lets you authenticate to your home instance, or pick up on your existing authentication, and then perform the required API calls to your home instance when interacting with posts on another instance.

But I also wonder if this couldn't be implemented at the UI level of the default LemmyUI. I know there are some federation mechanics that need to happen before your vote/comment/post is submitted, I just don't know if that's something that slows this idea down or completely derails it.

Part of the frustration is this: If I send a community to someone via some normal coms (email, text, whatever), the link is going to be relative to my home instance. If they are a Lemmy user but on another instance, they're not going to be able to vote, comment, or subscribe to the community from that link.

That interaction is what built Reddit. You send someone a link to a Reddit post, they enjoy that post, they eventually sign up for Reddit, and they start interacting with posts.

This might simply be a larger ActivityPub issue, but I have to imagine there are clever solutions to work within Lemmy's or ActivityPub's limitations.
