There are more delivered 737’s than any other commercial aircraft, ever.

Maybe, maybe not. They probably would’ve been hacked regardless, things went downhill quick. The hackers weren’t ever identified, and it’s unlikely they had the capability to do that.

Wasn’t exactly my workplace, but a contractor. Basically, as a cost saving measure, they layed off half of the IT department. And then they got hacked. They just re-flashed everything, and the threat was out of their system, but they messed up big time. The new images weren’t locked down properly, so they almost immediately got hacked again. I noticed that they’d messed up, and pointed it out to a few people, but it was too late.

Now the execs need a scapegoat, so they gut the IT department again. I don’t work for them, not even close to the business relationship, but their managers call me to a meeting room and try to get me in trouble? Try to make me admit to doing something wrong? And it was just their admin people there, not like my heads or anything. It was kind of a surreal experience.

This was a while ago, and their tech is still a bit funky. (Some details are lightly fuzzed, but this all is basically true)

Oh darn, it seems the website isn’t up anymore. It was, to my knowledge, never archived and never properly indexed by a search engine. I have no screenshots, so it’s basically lost media. All this to say it’s unlikely anyone here has heard of it.

Well, it was an IWW split called the “International Workers of the World” (it seemed to be composed of at most 3 people). If my notes are right it was internationalworkersoftheworld.org (seems even DNS is completely dead now). Their webpage was simple HTML, from the dates it hadn’t been updated in years, and most of the body was complaining about IWW internal politics, and people who had long moved on from the union.

Did Lemmy always have it so sites can be embedded?

It’s a bit of a false dichotomy, there’s a broad spectrum in both.

A lot of the benefit of religion doesn’t come from the beliefs itself, but the community around them. You could just have a community built around other things, or even a religion that doesn’t mandate theism (UU’s and Quakers come to mind, they have fairly large atheist populations. There’s also less “serious” religions, like TST).

It’s not really something we can do, sadly. Reddit closing it’s API was more about getting money than actually stopping it’s use as a training set.

Having an allow-list is a start though, as it means that a company can’t just make an instance and suck all the data out through that. Common corporate crawlers could be added to the robots.txt, but that would mean that you might not be able to find lemmy instances in search results. We could make it against ToS, but what are we going to do, sue the massive corporation? They have plenty of lawyer and payout money, so very little would fundamentally change.

Ultimately, if content can be served to us, it can be served to them.

A long, long time ago (before I can even remember, I was that young) I attempted to pick up something heavy, and fell into the corner of a wall (like, the outside, so it was pointy). I needed stitches, and I still have a scar.

The details I all got second hand, but I can still just barely see the scar.

If you’ve ever tried DMT, that’s what heaven is like.

Hell is basically a speedball gone wrong.

Why wouldn’t they be in the olympics? Unless a country is banned, it’s just something a country does. Even places that aren’t technically countries participate! There is 206 delegations at this years Olympics, and the UN only recognized a total of 195 nations.

I avoid it basically wherever possible, but sometimes people give me Amazon giftcards.

I don’t buy a huge amount of stuff off the internet, transacting in person is often more convenient. Imo Banggood, Aliexpress, dhgate, taobao, etc. are often some of the best alternatives, because a lot of Amazon is just selling that same stuff, but for more money.

the only dead giveaway is if they get doxxed

A “best dad” mug, but you cross out the “best”

probably? I feel like it would make more sense to ask someone else if I was nice (assuming you want an accurate response), given I might be a little biased.

Two 8s? Extremely sus

lol

Most of lemmy (lemmygrad, hexbear, lemmy, feddit, etc) has pretty decent Codes of Conduct, though? Take a look at the modlog, plenty of bans for trolling, transphobia, spam, unreliable sources, and more.

Maybe on a messaging platform with IRL people, but never on somewhere like Lemmy. If anything, I really enjoy seeing that number go up! 59 unreads right now (I never check the box, the only way they go is replies).

You’ll sometimes see aviation terms for the little fighters that launch from the larger ships, like in macross. I think it’s a matter of scale, really. An airplane will usually have single digit crew, maybe double digit. A warship will have hundreds, and the bigger the ship the more the crew.
