The object of a system of authority is order, not justice. Justice matters only after injustice sufficiently compromises order.
The Post 9/11 situation with Mass Media and RT is why it’s so desperately important for a Government to not lie or cover up it’s actions. Another example of this is Al Jazeera. The US Government’s dedication to hiding its dirty deeds opened the door for AJ to establish credibility which they later used against the US and it’s Government.
ALON is aluminum oxynitride. It’s aluminum. If you don’t like that then you are not going to like Saphire, Al2O3, as an answer either.
BTW I’m old enough that I watched that movie in the Theater and I’m pretty sure sure that Scotty doesn’t refer to “metallic aluminum”, he simply says “transparent aluminum” and we have two different materials that fit the description.
Transparent aluminum already exists. Lookup ALON.
Ok, now do DonaldJMusk and the other dozen accounts.
When I say “DJM” I am referring to DonaldJMusk.
He’s following and harassing me everywhere and the most you can do is call him annoying.
You obviously have another account because the one you’re commenting from is only 6 hours old, has just 1 post (this one) and only 17 comments (all in here). I checked because I wanted to see one of these accounts harassing you and look into it. Unfortunately there’s nothing for me to see so there’s nothing I can do.
My suggestion would be to report the user accounts that are causing you grief to the admins of the accounts home instance and then block them. Takes like 15 seconds to do both of those actions.
Fuck you.
Sadly my wife isn’t into sharing, otherwise I might be interested. 😘
Fair. I’m sure it will be challenging to retain our low touch policy as the instance and / or the lemmiverse continues to grow. The laissez-faire approach only works for so long.
Lemmy.today isn’t unmoderated.
Hi, Admin from lemmy.today here. I’m certainly not a fascist and I wouldn’t be associated with any instance or participate on an Admin Team that is.
Speaking of Admin Teams I think every member of ours (including me) has separately investigated the accusation that DJM and UM are the same person and to date none of us have come up with anything. We have engaged with several Lemmy users from other instances who claimed to have proof but none of them provided anything other than conjecture and accusation.
If you, or anyone else, actually has some proof feel free to message any member of the lemmy.today admin team.
I’m an Admin on lemmy.today and the accusation that DJM is UM (and others) occasionally comes up. Both I and @[email protected] have looked into it and neither of us have ever been able to find any kind of proof.
I’ve engaged with several Lemmy users who supposedly had proof but they were unable to provide anything better than what OP has up above. It’s always loose conjecture and “trust me, bro”.
Yes the DJM account is annoying but that’s not enough to get banned from our instance.
I assume this community will disagree strongly, but ADHD honestly does not seem like an actual disorder…
Not fitting into Capitalism has nothing to do with common ADHD traits such as lack of emotional regulation, time blindness, and our tendency towards risky behaviors.
So yeah, I do strongly disagree with your attempt to blame the negative aspects of ADHD on an economic system…because it’s bullshit.
I could be anything from an Mesopotamian King to a rider in the Mongol horde to a Medieval Peasant and my brain would still have the same damn problems.
I wonder what must happen to roll out more Linux in the public sector.
Endpoint (device) management is mostly a solved a problem, the challenge lies in integrated systems that allow secured, controlled, and constant access to data in a way that is manageable at scale by hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of users.
That is where it gets wicked difficult and is what @[email protected] is referencing. To my knowledge there is no real F/OSS equivalent to the tooling that MS Entra provides for IAM, DLP and MDM. You can maybe get close with a full deployment of NextCloud but that’s really only replicating M365 functionality from 15 years ago.
Is it ultimately possible if you piece enough packages and systems together? Probably but it would be a massive plate of spaghetti that only a team of highly experienced *nix managers could hope to properly support.
You can definitely use a full F/OSS stack to replicate the functionality of a Windows Active Directory network but that’s so last century. Today’s organizations, no matter their type or size, demand more and they won’t move to F/OSS unless they can get it.
Why are you not using the shiny new sudo-rs? You some kind of luddite? Get with the times Grandpa!

I’ll probably play with this over the weekend but it appears to be a lot of effort for not much reward. The only advantage I see over a Windows VM is that you get Windows Applications listed in your Linux Program Menu. I guess the “shared folder” thing but you can replicate that on your own pretty easily.
From a resource perspective it’s identical to a Win11VM because the docker container still has to run a complete Windows instance for the apps to work. It’s just that you interface with the apps directly (mostly) via fancy RDP instead of firing up the VM and doing everything through Windows Desktop.
You could probably accomplish the same thing by running a Windows RDS server in a VM, publishing the installed apps, and using Remmina to access them.
Okay I think I mis-handled the threading. I thought you were replying to the comment about dumb phones and those are most definitely available in the United States.
You are looking for something that runs Sailfish but that OS is meant for the Euro market so its targeted at handsets meant for use there. The entire supported device list is a measly 16 handsets and all but one of those are made by Sony! It’s a crazily niche OS.
The radios inside American cells phones are controlled by parents and property standards…
Yes, I’m aware of that. It’s literally no different for European cell phones. The Jolla C2 is a rebadged Reeder S19 Pro Max S and whatever modem is buried in that thing is going to have precisely the same issues. Patents are global and at this point even the Chinese are following them, much less a small Turkish manufacturer like Reeder.
(which is a fully programmable tracking device almost hidden to the OS BTW)
They’re all like this. All of them. Even the ones in a handset running Sailfish.
you cannot reproduce or even modify the radios due to this horrible law in the U.S called DMCA
The DMCA has very little to do with Software Defined Radios…which is precisely what the modem chips in these handsets are. Frankly I don’t WANT people fucking with the SDR in their handsets. You can do it with lots of other SDRs (GMRS, Amateur, WiFi, etc) and people inevitably abuse the ability and fuck things ups.
The DMCA is a rotten law but isn’t anywhere close to the biggest problem when it comes to SDRs and Phone Handsets.
In the U.S you can’t buy any of these devices…
No. My Father in Law has one and they’re available from Verizon, AT&T, and others.
…and one of the unofficial conditions of you getting access is that you have to have government surveillance and soon censorship on your device…
Where are you getting this disinformation from?
Which is why banning tools such as VPNs will naturally flow from this, too.
You can’t ban VPNs, they’re too heavily used by businesses. They COULD regulate this current “VPN as a Service” thing with providers like PIA, Proton, and Mullvad but a general / blanket ban on the technology itself is wildly improbable.
This isn’t an NGO, it’s multiple western governments. They want more control and the companies involved want more data.
The end of the anonymous internet was being predicted as the Corporate Web started taking off in the mid-00s. Rumors were swirling about companies like Meta requiring government I.D. at least five years ago.
This ID stuff is almost certainly going to happen this time.
America really needs to get back to building small scale housing such as onsie-twosie projects of singe level 4-plexes and 8-12 tenancy two story apartment buildings. The kind of stuff that can be both financed and built locally.
The finance industry has us twisted up because they only want to fund overly-large and expensive single projects; typically entire neighborhoods of outsized single family homes or enormous multi-building apartment complexes. That means those are the only projects getting financed which means that those are the projects getting built.
As the article notes, with examples, we’re already seeing that happen.
I didn’t realize that the CIA even existed in 1883.
