What's the over/under on SCOTUS ruling in favor of Trump when these are eventually appealed?
I guess dog whistles are a thing of the past? People can just go around saying whatever they want and not have to worry about being shamed for being openly racist. Like internet comment sections have spilled out into real life.
Wait, politicians lie? But, but... Republicans are all about morality and goodness. I'm shocked! SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!
In order to view video from the camera, it had to be a Wyze cam v1 (last sold in 2018), the "hacker" would need to know the randomly generated ID of the camera, which they could get if they were connected to the same WiFi as the camera - or try to guess it. With the ID, a "hacker" could access the SD card remotely and download video files. It also allowed them to turn the camera on and off and, on pan-tilt models, move the camera.
Wyze took too long to disclose this (they found out about it in 2019 and didn't disclose it for 18 months). Nobody knows if this flaw was ever taken advantage of. They tried to patch the hardware but weren't able to do so. Wyze said they issued a patch within 1 month of learning about the flaw, but I haven't determined exactly what was patched. They also noted in Feb of 2022 they couldn't patch the hardware fully, and retiring the v1 cameras was the only option to resolve the issue.
Click on Magazines and use the search tool there. The global search doesn't appear to work. When you search for a community you can search with the full name (lemmyworld@lemmy.world) or just a term (wall street). If you use a full address, don't include the leading @ or !, it won't return any results. And the search isn't like google. Wall street will return different results than wallstreet, for instance.
*edit: My post below gets some things wrong. See https://lemmy.world/post/149743 by @AgentGoldfish for a better explanation. You can stop reading here unless you like partially incorrect information.
There have been several answers to this, but I don't think everything has been fully explained.
Instances are not aware of other instances by default. So, if someone creates a new #Lemmy or #Kbin server nobody will be aware of it.
Now, when a user on your new Lemmy server (CoolLemmy) starts following a community or user on another server (LemmySphere), that server becomes aware. CoolLemmy will start showing all the content from LemmySphere in its "All" feed. Also, all content from CoolLemmy starts to appear in the "All" feed on LemmySphere.
Next, when a user on CoolLemmy starts following a community on SpaceLemmy, LemmySphere will also show SpaceLemmy content in their All feed. This is how one big web of content starts growing (federating) across all of these different instances.
Sidebar (and this is an important point): let's say a CoolLemmy user posts a comment on a LemmySphere thread. What happens? Their comment, and any images, etc., are saved on CoolLemmy, not LemmySphere. Please keep this in mind if you are on a server that doesn't want NSFW content, illegal content, drug content, etc, on their server. If you think you are posting NSFW content on a NSFW Lenny instance you are actually posting it on your local server, which may get you banned.
So, let's say SpaceLemmy starts doing things that LemmySphere doesn't like. LemmySpere defederates (blocks) them. Users on SpaceLemmy will still see LemmySphere posts and comments (public content can be viewed by anyone). SpaceLemmy users can add threads and comments (which, remember, are saved on SpaceLemmy) on Communities and threads on LemmySphere, but LemmySphere is not going to show them to their users - SpaceLemmy has been blocked. SpaceLemmy users will still see them and, because CoolLemmy and SpaceLemmy are still federated, CoolLemmy is still going to see those comments and posts.
If CoolLemmy also defederates SpaceLemmy then, in this example, only SpaceLemmy users will see SpaceLemmy content.
If SpaceLemmy defederates both SphereLemmy and CoolLemmy, only then will SpaceLemmy stop showing content from those other servers.
Defederating is the equivalent of closing your eyes and putting your fingers in your ears and saying, "la la la I can't hear you" and actually meaning it.
I mean, who would stand to gain from making that up!?
It's been expanded several times in the past, but it hasn't been expanded since 1911. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives#Number_of_Representatives
The country has grown a lot. In 1911 after the last expansion, it was about 200k people per representative. We're now close to 750k per representative. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018/05/31/u-s-population-keeps-growing-but-house-of-representatives-is-same-size-as-in-taft-era/
I think expanding the size of congress makes sense for a lot of reasons.
If you want to block an entire instance of Lemmy you can use the /d/ (for domain) function. For instance, if you didn't want to see anything from lemmy.ml you could go to https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml and click the block icon on the right side. You can manage your blocked domains from your settings. You can also block individual Magazines/Communities by going to the community and clicking on the block icon.
You can also use the domain feature to block non-Lemmy/Kbin sites: https://kbin.social/d/newrepublic.com
Also, I'm not suggesting that people should be blocking either of those domains. They were just some of the first options on my feed that I could copy for examples.
I had to play around with it a bit to figure out how this is working. Basically, if you post to a Magazine's "microblog" it uses the Magazine name as a hashtag. See: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/p/433361. Paste that link in your Mastodon client and you'll see the #kbinMeta hashtag. So, if you want to follow the Kbin Tech magazine you'd have to follow the #tech hashtag in Mastodon. If you look at that Magazine you'll see posts there from Mastodon servers. Those are posts with the #tech hashtag. Posts that don't have a hashtag end up in the Random magazine.
If you dive into the technology behind it all you start to see that all of these different platforms are designed to show the same content in different ways. They're all based on the ActivityStreams protocol: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/.
Take the image object. If you post an image to Mastodon you see the text that was posted with that picture then the picture. If you look at the same picture in Pixelfed (similar to Instagram), you'll see the image first and displayed prominently, since it's the focus, followed by the text. In Lemmy or Kbin you'll see a small thumbnail that you can then expand to see the full image. Same image object type, different ways of displaying it.
I guess the point is, depending on what your interests are (microblogging, sharing links, sharing photos, etc) you pick the platform that most suites your need. Or, have multiple accounts for posting different content.
Your home feed can default to "All," which shows content from all communities across all federated instances (not just Kbin and Lemmy) or it can default to Subscribed, which shows content only from communities you're subscribed to. Lemmy has a third option called "Local" which shows content from all local communities. Turning off federation for yourself in Kbin is similar to the local option in Lemmy, but allows you to still switch between All and Subscribed (ie, all local or subscribed local). Lemmy doesn't currently offer a "local subscribed" view.
The hamburger menu next to your name allows you to toggle between Subscribed and All. In the dropdown menu when you hover over your name, under Settings, you can select your default view (Subscribed vs All).
My personal preference is to default to subscribed and see content from across the Fediverse that I choose to see. This way I'm not missing out on any communities or magazines on federated instances that interest me. I sometimes switch to All with the Commented sort to see what the current zeitgeist is (where are the biggest conversations happening). I don't see much need to de-federate my view entirely since I can block communities/magazines, or entire domains, which means even under All I'm not bothered by content that I find annoying, offensive, etc.
How frequently business leaders will ignore advice from experts and "go with their gut" instead.
