I am Stine. Comfort the afflicted. Afflict the comfortable. High School Wrestler™. Can usually correctly use the past tense in French. Suffers from clinical depression. @stinerman@mastodon.social on Mastodon.
DES is symmetric key cryptography. It doesn’t rely on the difficulty of factorizing large semi-primes. It did use a 56-bit key, though.
Public key cryptography (DSA, RSA, Elliptic Curve) does rely on these things and yes it’s a 4096-bit key these days (up from 1024 in the older days).
Came here to say this. Western European accents are fun, quirky things. Accents from what our President would call “shithole countries” do not get the same respect.
I don’t know if I’m hardcore or not, but I’ve never had a Reddit account.
I’ve been a fan of Rammstein for many years. I know the gist of what each song means and know a few words of German. But I can’t translate word for word.
A federation of absolute dictatorships. Some are more enlightened than others but if an instance bans you there is no independent appeal process.
What is expected is that you are kind to your date and spend your time getting to know each other.
It would depend on the context. If I saw it on PornHub, I’d assume something related to porn. If I saw it in a flyer from the local Parks & Rec department, I’d think it was a standard children’s playground, but for adults.
Simply by itself, I’d default to the park thing.
I don’t believe so, but don’t quote me on that.
Good show but I have seen the same show 4 or 5 times.
Elvis Costello but I’ve only seen him twice. I like CAKE a lot too and have seen them 4 or 5 times.
I told them their “MEN DON’T POST HERE” posts on the frontpage are hostile, which is the reaction they got from a half dozen folks who were talking about the subject.
So what if it’s hostile to you? It’s their community. I see that community from time to time. Guess what. I don’t post there. I accept that it’s their space and their rules.
I talked about my experience as a gay man, wanting more community here on Lemmy, but that I wouldn’t start communities or threads saying “NO STRAIGHT PEOPLE POST HERE” to do it.
You don’t have to, but other people can if they want. If someone else did, I, as a straight person, wouldn’t post there. Because they asked me not to.
I get that I broke their rule, and I can be banned there for that - but they didn’t ban me for being a man, they banned me for hurting their feelings. And now I can’t use LGBTQ and Trans communities as a result. OK, fuck turtlesareneat, he shouldn’t be allowed in queer communities cause he hurt a mod’s feelings.
No, you didn’t get banned because you hurt their feelings. You got banned because you can’t follow rules. Other instances banned you because you’ve been shown that you can’t follow other instances’ rules.
This reads very heavily of “but I had to reply because they needed to hear my carefully-considered opinion.” NO. THEY. DON’T. They didn’t want to talk to you and you decided to barge in and tell them what you had to say because by god you needed to be heard.
That’s not what your question says though. Your question asks for reasons why you should support the development of Lemmy because you don’t like the moderation decisions that the developers make on their instance. That’s a different question than “how can I support the software without supporting the people making it.” The answer to that is you can’t.
As others have said, you can fund your instance if you so choose. You can also try to fund a fork/replacement.
I mean… I prefer my bar soap to my wife’s body wash. But if it was down to the body wash or nothing, I’d go with the body wash. Same with her shampoo.
I’m typing this message on this computer (upgraded as far as it’ll go, running Debian Stable). No one needs any of this hardware for what most people use their computers for.
Social Distortion releases early demos on vinyl.
What a coincidence! I’m the fediverse dude!
Not sure if you’re asking for advice, but if appeals to reason doesn’t work “I’m your fucking parent and you’re going to do it or you’re grounded until you do” should work nicely.
Not the OP, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I do think it’s a little odd given that the security is at the client and not in the protocol. As others have mentioned already, if you use skyview.social, you can see the posts anyway.
Same. Should be rock bottom prices.
