Then you really should list all of the secondary functions you plan to add to it, make sure they understand what those are, and agree to each of them: full disclosure.

If you do something on it that could get them in trouble, it’s their ass on the line, not yours.

Are you friends okay with you doing that? I would not be, especially if my so-called friend didn’t disclose the secondary operations of the device that’s in my home, on my internet connection, under my name.

TIL 4chan has an MBFC rating:

Well…that sent me down a rabbit hole. Thanks!

Would be nice if they’d offer downloads for the disk image. Or at least sell the disk image since I don’t need yet another Pi lol.

Minitel was ahead of its time in so many ways.

Black Mirror. Should. Not. Be. A. Roadmap.

Cunk on Earth also did a similar bit with Beethoven.

Does Charlie Brooker have some kind of enchanted typewriter that can influence the world or something?

That’s the saddest, most pathetic idea I’ve ever heard.

Oh, yeah, that goes without saying. Report anyone whose behavior warrants it. I’m just mainly reminding people that blocking can be a way to take control of your experience. It took me a while to fully appreciate the block button and get over my FOMO (in the earlier days of Lemmy, blocking even a few people would cut down the amount of content drastically; thankfully that’s no longer the case).

Semi-specific (but still intentionally vague) example for “block” candidates are some accounts that even the mods are like “Look, I don’t like them either, but they’re not breaking any rules”. But, in general, just don’t be afraid to block what or whoever stresses you out.

The point of my post is protecting one’s own mental health. I’m not here to police the Fediverse. Report people if it’s warranted, block if they’re a source of stress or make the place unenjoyable.

That’s like the “install uBlock Origin” first step as far as I’m concerned lol.

I think it’s less about having strong opinions and more with how those are expressed. But either way, you’re here with a good attitude, and that’s appreciated.

Good to know, and yeah, kind of matches what I’ve observed. I tend to permaban outright trolls, but yeah, they usually spin up a new account and never come back to that, so it’s probably overkill. I guess I just don’t like leaving the door open for them to come back…just in case lol.

True. If it’s report-worthy, absolutely. But there are certainly accounts that aren’t violating any rules but can still be a source of stress. Those are often the “rules lawyer” type who knows exactly how to stay right on the line without crossing it.

Counterpoint is that if that person is finally banned, they’re 9 times out of 10 just going to spin up a new alt and start back up with the same shtick. If everyone just blocks them, they’re just shouting into the wind wondering why no one’s taking their bait. I dislike how Reddit had “shadow bans”, but I can see how they would be effective when used surgically.

Oh, nice. That was my question. I wish it didn’t require a code at all, but at least you don’t have to wait a week like some other manufacturers. Thanks!

Anyone know what the bootloader unlock process is like for Fairphone? I know they support it, but does it take 7 days like OnePlus or constantly have issues like Motorola?

If there’s one silver lining to this, maybe it’ll knock Windows 11 down a peg seeing as how Microsoft expects you to just buy a new PC if you don’t meet their stupid requirements.

I don’t know why, but I was expecting it to be the actual Game Boy Camera in all of its low-res glory. Still cool, though.

Last post to their announcement community said there was scheduled maintenance:

Guessing maybe that went Tango Uniform? It was edited 17 hours ago, and while there’s no revision history, it looks like they tagged it “Ongoing” so perhaps there’s a process taking longer than expected.
