i was joking earlier but there actually is a ""metric calender""

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar

They also tried metric time but that's kind of dumb

if you think your average linux distro is trustworthy, you're mad.

there's a tons of binary blobs, not to mention all the known and unknown hardware backdooers that you can't remove by running linux.

most of the software your average user installs is untrustworthy as well.

the security model of linux is outdated at best, no proper isolation of programs. the linux kernel is leaky as heck and filled with tons of bloat.

You can get a Intel ME disabled laptop or a 15 year old one one that never had it, then put on some FSF approved OS that bans closed source software and compiles everything from scratch, isolates every program like with jails or Qubes or one of the newfangled container based OSes and tunnels all your internet traffic through some sorf of anonymization layer like Tor or I2P and ideally it's all happening in memory only and never writes to disk. But then again we know there are hidden microcontrollers with full memory access hidden behind obscure instructions in CPUs.

You can't tell me those aren't insane lengths.

Practically speaking there is no such thing as a "trustworthy" computer and suggeting linux magically makes it trustworthy is laughable. Completely ridiculous.

You need hardware disconnects on all sensors and physical obstruction of devices like cameras in order to have some level of certainty that they aren't being misused.

AI judges make a lot of sense, that way everyone is treated equally, because eveey judge thinks literally the same way. No corrupt judges, no change in political bias between judges, no more lenient or strict judges that arbitrary decide your fate. How you decide what AI model is your judge is a whole new can of worms, but it definitely has lots of upsides.

Here is the same mushroom from my last post but 3 days later and photographed from the other side.

I feels like a rock with a rubbery coating.

It seems to be growing what looks like roots?

It doesn't seem like it's dying off, rather it seems to be growing stronger.

It's growing under a pear tree, maybe it's feeding off of dead roots?

I'm thinking maybe a ganoderma?

Here is a closeup and one from the same angle as my last post:

Edit: Here it is 3 days ago:

 
 

Does anyone have any idea what this is?

I thought it was a moldy pear (it's under a pear and apple tree, next to some sage and valerian), but it's hardish and attached to the ground.

 

Absolutely one of the best openings ever

 

I've noticed a lack of hexbear posts in my feed. I quite enjoy reading your posts and occasionally commenting. The last chapotraphouse posts I can see are from 5 days ago, but in the browser I see most recent ones. As far as I can tell from the modlog, I'm not banned and neither is my instance.

Was there some policy change or something or am I just not understanding Lemmy again?

 

Infinity had a multireddit feature that let you create your own multireddits. I think it was client side, because I can use it without an account? Will this feature ever come back?

I know there are no multicommunities on Lemmy yet, but it would be cool if we could do it client-side.

 

Any time I try to apply filters from the home screen, it only filters Subscribed. Is there a way to filter on All or Local? I tried switching the tab order, but that didn't work.

Thanks for the port btw.
