Men alternativet hade varit förödande för alla tjänster (forum, bulletin boards, mastodon servers etc) som tillåter användarkommentarer. Det skulle i princip döda alla tjänster som inte tillhandahålls av stora företag som kan ta en sådan kostnad.

Läste just din DN text om detta.

Jag hänger själv inte på Flashback men jag tycker nog ändå att den viktigaste faktan i målet, och vilket du även nämnt i ett tidigare inlägg, är både att inläggen inte flaggats för moderation/borttagning i systemet, att de blev polisanmälda och då togs bort.

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

It existed yesterday and is gone today.

I say, Mobland is really good! Tom Hardy in particular shines in his role. Tough balancing act that he does great.

Oh, and if you are sceptical to encryption over something that is essentially a mail-client which looks like a chat, have a read of this article before typing an angry comment/reply. :)

If you are looking for a fully encrypted, audited, open-source, ad-free app I can recommend Delta Chat. It works both over SMTP (so fully decentralised) as well as over ChatMail (which you can host yourself if that is your thing) protocol.

Jag tror att "folk" alltid klagat, fast jag tror det blivit mer pga sociala medier (folk söker likes). Tidigare hade dock inte alla tillgång till globala plattformar där de kunde dela med sig av sina klagomål, och det klagades nog mest i hemmet isolation.

Do you think he's going for the record? No person has managed to bankrupt the entire globe single-handedly (and with small hands at that) previously.

It feels like every country in the world are doing their utmost in a race to reach the bottom and new low's the quickest and most efficiently.

This is the new normal I guess. A Fight Club (the movie) but for countries.

Strömavbrott försvårar matlagningen. Som tur var hade jag sous-vid'at köttet så det är ju typ klart. Då det är mörkt spelar det ingen större roll att jag inte gett det en snygg stekyta. 😬
