The thing about this age range is there are a bunch of social changes people go through. Some of them are automatic at a specific age, like being able to legally buy alcohol. Others may not happen at quite the same age, like getting a driver's license, graduating high school, or moving out of the parents' house.
I suggest some introspection to be sure she likes you for you more than for social advantages you might have, and to check local laws to make sure a sexual relationship isn't illegal. Other than that, the half your age plus seven rule of thumb others have mentioned seems pretty reasonable to me.
It appears to depend on Bluesky designating entities to do the verification.
If it harmed an innocent, probably. If it harmed a government, corporation, or detestable person, no.
I think the existing domain-based verification system is a better way of doing that. Something like Mastodon's verified links might be a nice addition. This more centralized system is... not what I hoped for.
Instagram and Tiktok are usable in a web browser, though they do want you to make an account.

Terms like "safe" and "private" are not binary.
Are the contents of your Signal conversations on an iPhone private with regard to mass surveillance conducted by governments and ISPs? Probably. Apple uses security and privacy as marketing points, and there are a whole lot of people looking for vulnerabilities in its products who are incentivized to disclose them (possibly with a delay for patches). Signal itself takes steps to prevent data leaks to less secure parts of the OS and other apps.
Would your conversations remain private in the face of a targeted attack against your device by a nation state willing to spend a significant amount of time and money when you're using Signal on an iPhone that's presumably used for purposes other than secure conversations with a small set of people you know? Almost certainly not.
Anyone doing a poll would be negligent not to include the previous nominee and former vice president. That's not to imply she's a good choice, only that she's an obvious choice.
If you don't like it, turn it off.
This would be a valid complaint if it was forced on you, but it isn't. You can both ignore the warnings and disable the feature entirely.
As to why it does that, it's using heuristics based on the APIs the app calls and maybe a bit about how it calls them. If there are enough patterns similar to malicious apps, you get a warning.
Flashlight pointed at the ceiling, mostly. Which one varies, but lately it's often ~2600K and very high CRI.
The actions of a lunatic cult leader who promptly killed the entire cult including himself afterward aren't really comparable to the actions of governments attempting to retain the appearance of legitimacy.
They really are stupid when it comes to undermining their own case, aren’t they?
No, they are not. It's a mistake to think of them as stupid, as that leads to underestimating the threat they pose.
They don't care about winning this case in the conventional sense. Trump and his allies couldn't care less what happens to Kilmar Abrego Garcia; what they're after is the power to exile or imprison people without due process of law.
A hashtag on Mastodon won't make a post visible to Lemmy users, but tagging a community (with the double-@ format) in a toplevel post will post to that community.
And is he seriously asking the Trump administration to self-identify who should be punished for all of this? Does he honestly think that the DOJ is going to hand over a list of names to be sanctioned? Because if so, I want a lifetime supply of whatever he’s smoking.
He's asking, and he almost certainly believes he's legally entitled to an answer. He almost certainly believes the DOJ will not cooperate, but potential noncompliance by defendants shouldn't influence rulings.
The only thing for the judge to do is issue rulings and orders as if things are normal.
I’ve read that it’s because fairphone has to pay a fee for each unlocked device, but it sounds a little weird so no idea if that’s real.
The posts seem to suggest that Google is charging them a fee in that case, but that would be a little surprising given Pixels have a no-fuss unlock, and Google permits third parties to redistribute its proprietary add-ons to Android free of charge for installation by end users.
In any case, you've convinced me this probably isn't Fairphone being evil, though some sort of public explanation would be nice.
I don't understand why this requires a code rather than a toggle in developer settings like a Pixel. That doesn't seem like openness and a commitment to treating users fairly since they could change their policy at any time.
These are just weird little guys. Sure, they're dangerous individually; sometimes they kill people, but the idea that they're a threat to the stability of society is laughable.
TOR is designed to resist surveillance and censorship by ISPs or national governments. Communications are encrypted in transit, and there's no way for a node to tell whether it's talking to another relay node or the end user.
It's fairly easy for a website to detect that a user is accessing it via TOR; there are lists of exit nodes like this one which a firewall or intrusion detection system can update programmatically. Many websites block or limit access via TOR using such lists, making it unsuitable for use cases such as the one I'm discussing.
I couldn't care less what the employer wants. This almost certainly doesn't violate any criminal laws, but could lead to loss of employment.
I care that my friends can be somewhere they're physically safe while making enough money to be OK.
They are going to find out regardless
Probably not. This is the sort of organization that will do the bare minimum to tick a compliance checkbox and no more. That likely includes IP geolocation and maybe checks against well-known datacenter IPs. It's very unlikely to include latency checks, and does not include monitoring agents on remote machines. My friends have accepted there's some risk of employment loss, but would prefer to mitigate it.
Stop trying to cheat the system
Fuck the system.
This is similar to what I had in mind. I was thinking of software and a paid subscription while this is a hardware device with free access. It does appear to reward people for acting as exit nodes in a more or less ethical manner (depending on how you feel about weird cryptocurrencies).
Recommend a VPN with residential exit IPs
Some friends have safety concerns that mean they need to appear digitally as if they're inside the USA while being elsewhere physically. Standard commercial VPNs are easy to detect (else I'd recommend Mullvad), so they need an option that looks like a residential connection.
They could potentially DIY it by leaving a VPN server at a relative's house, but I'm asking here for subscription services. It's best if they have a Mac OS app that's foolproof, with a clear visual indication that it's in use, and a feature to block traffic if the VPN is disconnected.
tl;dr: what's the closest residential VPN to Mullvad?
Giveaway: 3000K Acebeam T35 for 3000 members
In honor of [email protected] reaching 3000 members (yes, I know that was a couple weeks ago), I'm giving away this Acebeam T35 swapped to a 3000 Kelvin, 95 CRI Luminus SFT40. While not as bright as the original 5000K, low-CRI LED, it's sure to satisfy anyone who misses the incandescent look, but likes LED power.
Only accounts that have made a post or comment to [email protected] prior to this post may enter. You should have a shipping address in the USA or EU, which can be a package forwarding company if necessary. Entry ends on Februrary 14 2025 at 20:00 UTC.
To enter, leave a top level comment on this post. I will select the winning entry using a random number generator next Friday.
Right to Root Access
medhir.com right to root access
right to repair laws should include provisions requiring manufacturers to unlock a device's bootloader (to provide root access) upon consumer request.
Is it currently possible to completely self-host ATProto and interact with BlueSky users?
I don't actually want to do this right now, but I do want to know if it's really decentralized yet. Completely looks like it means each of:
- A client ✅
- A personal data server ✅
- A relay ❓
- Labelers ✅
- Feed generators ✅
It looks like the relay might be the bottleneck. If I'm understanding the protocol correctly, a relay could consume less than the whole network so it doesn't have to be ridiculously expensive to operate, but I'm not finding examples of people doing it.
Election day carry
I fear if I carry anything else today, I'll lose it or cut myself with it.

Recommend a server-side email classifier
I've been self-hosting email with Maddy for a bit, but haven't shared any of the addresses widely yet in part because I haven't set up a spam filter. I'm pleased with Maddy; there's much less to learn to get a server up and running with sane default behavior than with the email software of old.
Ideally, I'd like to go beyond just spam filtering and have something with arbitrary categories like newsletters and password resets. I would prefer that it learn categories when I move messages to IMAP folders from a mail client. Maddy can feed messages into arbitrary programs and pick a destination folder based on their output.
Web searches turn up a ton of classification programs, most of which seem to be more interested in playing accuracy golf with well-known corpora than expanding functionality beyond simple spam filtering.
Please stop blocking VPNs for established accounts
I often use a commercial VPN service, which I suspect is not rare among Lemmy users. Most of the time, I'm able to post to lemmy.world, but on occasion I am not. The default web UI provides zero feedback, just a spinning submit button forever, but if I look in the browser dev tools, I can see it's being blocked.
I understand that some limitations are necessary to prevent spam and other abuse, however this is a very blunt instrument. The fact that I have a 10 month old account with consistent activity should outweigh any IP address reputation issues.
Perhaps the VPN limitations could be narrowed in scope to cover only account creation and posts from young accounts.

What RSS readers should I recommend to others?
If I want to quickly pitch "you should follow X, Y, and Z using RSS because [problems with social media]" to people who have never heard of RSS, what readers should I recommend?
I want at least web (not self-hosted), Android, and iOS options. Native apps for Mac and Windows would be nice as well. Linux users probably already know what RSS is.
There absolutely must be a free option good for at least 25 feeds because unfamiliar tech is a hard enough sell without having to pay. I'll grudgingly accept ads if that's the tradeoff for something beginner-friendly.
Image uploads blocked by Cloudflare
When I attempt to upload images to lemmy.world via the desktop web UI, I get the following error message:
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
Looking at network traffic in dev tools, I see that I'm getting a 403 page from Cloudflare saying:
Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access lemmy.world Why have I been blocked? This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks....
I also get error messages when trying to upload images using Connect and Sync on an Android device. I successfully uploaded images in the past.

Webpack hashing problems after Mastodon server update
I just updated my Mastodon server to the latest version due to a security vulnerability. I got a 500 page and error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported in the logs from mastodon-web.
I could reproduce by running bin/webpack from the command line. Some searching led me to try Node 16 LTS, but then I get an apparently blank page when I load the site and call to eval() blocked by CSP in the browser console.
The API works normally; this only affects the website.
Does the hard-use folder I want exist?
I want a folding knife that can get away with most most of the things I know better than to do with a folding knife. That leads to specific criteria:
- Price: under $100, lower is better. I might break it.
- Lock: crossbar, backlock, compression, or something similarly strong. Not liner/frame/button. I might want to trust the lock more than is prudent.
- Steel: tough stainless like AEB-L, 14C28N, or Nitro-V. I might baton through salt-driftwood with it and put it away wet. See toughness chart.
- Blade: Ideally 3.25-2.5" (85-90mm) and a tip that isn't dainty. I might pry with it.
- Pivot: washers, not bearings. I might get mud in it.
- I dislike thumbstuds, but will accept them if they're not in the cutting path.
Update: Olight paid me
Less than 24 hours after yesterday's post, an Olight rep got in touch by email. A few hours after that, they sent the full payment.
