Isn’t federation already a form of peer-to-peer networking? And while I agree that clients need the ability to block entire instances, spinning up your own server is already a way to do that.

Good educators incorporate tech into their lessons. UNESCO isn’t helping it’s credibility crisis with such positions.

We really need a way to block entire instances at the user level.

Valid points. I was thinking of using a second drive. That way you’d still have this one to troubleshoot and learn from.

True. Sadly, many don’t get that time after they’ve done hours of homework and mandatory extracurriculars every day and twice on Saturday.

Edit: typo

Yep. Turns out I don’t miss it.

I’d forgotten about account containers, but yes, that’s another indispensable one.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I really believe you’ll see her again one day. Until then, hold onto the memories and love another who needs you too.

They did for a while in the 70s and 80s. They were usually disguised as football team gear or running tops, but guys had half-shirts for several years.

Unfortunately, the 90s and 00s were relatively more conservative, and they disappeared. Maybe it’s time to bring them back.

Ublock Origin, Privacy Badger, & Decentraleyes are the main ones for me.

Could it be a failing/failed drive? Maybe try making a new bootable flash drive and see what happens.

That’s really good to know. Thanks!

I get impatience. :)

They may be suitable for forcing. I know that tulips and daffodils can be forced, and my faint memory is that almost any true bulb can be. There are good resources online for how to do it.

I’ve participated in their SETI and cancer research projects in the past. It’s a good cause, and I don’t mind making a donation.

I did think the BOINC project was shut down, though. Good to know it’s still going.

You can store them in paper lunch bags in a cool dry place (e.g. a root cellar or garage). Then plant them in the spring.

I wouldn’t force them unless you’re sure they weren’t forced last year. It’s not usually something that can be done two years running.

Since other instances seem to have taken action that suits you better, you can always move your account to one of them. You could still access communities hosted on .world, but you wouldn’t be inconvenienced by DDoS attacks taking down the server.

That’s the beauty of federation.

Thanks, I didn’t know what that tool is called. I don’t find it very useful.

Thanks, I didn’t know what it’s called. I agree that the block editor is unusable. Honestly, it reminds me of GeoCities. I wouldn’t consider it progress.

Gutenberg?

Looks like somebody is overcompensating for coveting her neighbor’s ass.
