I love Sony phones. But Sony doesn’t love me (exited the North American market, expensive AF).

I’m clinging to my Xperia 5 IV as long as I can.

Joke’s on everyone. I’m my own boss! 💦

I’m not that old, am I? I mean, it was clear then that it was a power grab. Shameless, really, as they wrapped it all up in patriotism, duty, and honor.

An interesting consideration, considering he doesn’t seem to tire.

While there’s no real solution yet, please don’t engage with him.

This is something I’ve got to work on. I’ve gone soft having cut the cord on social 15 years ago.

I’ve taken the bait, and I’m not proud.

He makes about six new accounts a day.

He’ll post links to gore, too.

So, while this user (and their many reincarnations) has really impacted my enjoyment of Lemmy over the last couple of weeks, they do highlight one of the larger shortcomings of the platform. There’s nothing stopping an unstable, disturbed, bored person from grinding through accounts. A problem on any platform, for sure. Though folks like this do seem to filter out in the noise of larger projects.

I don’t have a solution for this. But I’m nearly to the point of tearing down my own instance.

💯 gender affirming care. So why do only some men qualify?

I’m no psychologist, but I’d say there’s too much yet to lose. People aren’t going to blow up their lives over the slow boil until there’s no food left. It happened to the French when they marched for bread.

When folks have nothing left to lose is when it starts.

What is it with you and kids, man?

Jeff Bezos. An actual capitalist monster. One who is responsible for the class war.

Understood. But, why not a Bezos cake?

These are children, bro. They are faultless and not responsible for the class war. Stop advocating for violence against children.

Yes, to all points. I’ve backed out of busy or large servers primarily because I didn’t care about them. Control is granular enough to join specific channels, as well. I don’t know that anyone can even tell I’m bridged.

I hope you get the help you need before you hurt someone.

I don’t know that Matrix is that resource intensive. I run a Matrix server with ~30 users on a Raspberry Pi and a 1TB nvme.

Cool. Tell me, what should I do? March down there and wave a sign? Buy a bunch of guns and shoot up the place? Sorry, mate. I’m just trying to make my mortgage.
