Have you tried mastodon? Pleroma? Misskey? Akkoma? None of them have pointlessly complicated nonsense like “NFC” or whatever but all of them let you share things with a small group of friends and have control over who can see whatever you post. There are people using fedi like that. You may find it difficult to find them, for obvious reasons. But if you and your friends want to start doing it there’s nothing stopping you.

I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

kbal@fedia.ioto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits9·6 days agoThe morally correct course of action for an international Internet-based business facing this situation would be to cut all ties with the UK, make sure you have no business presence there at all, and then duly ignore their laws.
But that might make the shareholders unhappy I guess.
kbal@fedia.ioto Europe@feddit.org•A member of the Irish parliament says the country should make high-visibility jackets compulsory for all pedestrians and bicyclists52·16 days agoPedestrians will need to pass an annual inspection to make sure they have the proper high-vis gear, flame resistant clothing, and signal lights.
kbal@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you ever revise your upvotes for a particular sub-thread/conversant when you get the sense they are either bad-faith or do not have sufficient knowledge to justify their participation or comments?10·25 days agobrb I’m just going to take a few minutes to go through my records and see if any of my recent upvotes need revising in light of your latest comment.
kbal@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What to do with too many raspberries and strawberries?4·26 days agoYeah making jam is quite easy. Basically just add some sugar and pectin and put it on the stove until it’s jam.
Otherwise, put them in the freezer.
kbal@fedia.ioto Games@sh.itjust.works•Wine 10.11 Makes More Preparations For NTSYNC Support10·26 days agoIt’s nice to have ntsync, I’ve been using it for a few weeks. Knowing that the thread sync api is solid means one less thing to worry about when debugging modded skyrim.
kbal@fedia.ioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Employees at Palantir probably don't like the idea of having their personal data harvested. But they are quite enthusiastic about collecting yours.6·27 days agoI assume they do sometimes have feelings but it’s pretty hard to imagine how people who’d agree to work for Palantir would feel about literally anything other than being highly paid which they presumably enjoy.
Huddled masses yearning to breathe free
I have only one strict rule: I see the Moomin comic, I upvote it.
kbal@fedia.ioto Europe@feddit.org•Woman charged with unintentional arson after cigarette allegedly started fire on Greek Island74·28 days agoarson, n. The crime of deliberately starting a fire with intent to cause damage.
The dictionary confirms my understanding that “unintentional arson” is a contradiction in terms. We must therefore find the defendant not guilty.
If you’re only going to watch one video this week about urban planning in Prague, this one is a fine choice.
kbal@fedia.ioto Games@sh.itjust.works•Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds2·29 days agoYour other doubts and concerns seem slightly biased, e.g. wondering what settings could be tweaked on only one of the systems being tested and then reminding us all that there do still exist some things that won’t run on SteamOS. It’s only that one that is outright ridiculous.
kbal@fedia.ioto Games@sh.itjust.works•Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds25·29 days agoDid the author run the benchmarks few times to rule out shader compilation
Really grasping at straws there, eh? I’m no big fan of Ars but I hope we can assume they’re not quite that incompetent.
Don’t do it at this time of year.
kbal@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When did you decide to make Left Wing values your Religion ?10·1 month agoFor me it was when we all started having regular Satanic death metal sex parties, the left wing was pretty boring before that.
Maybe that path that got wider did so because it gets muddy sometimes and people walk around the mud? That’s what often happens around where I live.
Why stop there? Ouija coding takes the “science” and the “computer” out of computer science.
