No sign of that happening yet, especially with the results of a certain election in a certain country.

Maintaining perl scripts from the 90s is my ball park!

Mind, I did write some of them, and they’re still whirring away making it a pretty easy job. Perl’s lack of breaking features is its strongest strength.

If this was just about the X/Twitter accounts, then X could just suspend them.

Fun fact: the majority of people trafficked in the world are for sex purposes

What’s the source for this, please?

My own research points to the fairly reputable https://www.antislavery.org/slavery-today/modern-slavery/ which estimated around 28m in modern slavery (on the low side of other estimates), and of those, 6.3m are in commercial sexual exploitation, less than a quarter.

I get that you’re trying to bring awareness or whatever

I absolutely am trying to do that - it seems to be ignored by almost everyone, something that I personally find shocking. Even when raising the figures here - usually a place full of people with more empathy than most social media, the response has been partly negative. Maybe because people don’t seem to want to acknowledge the bigger problem. I don’t get it. Perhaps the numbers are so huge it’s hard to appreciate that each one of these is a human being who’s trapped, alone and suffering.

but both comments so far read more like “not worth legalizing sex work when other slaves still exist”

That wasn’t the intention.

It can help, yes - but a large percentage of the 38 to 49 million modern day slaves still exist in otherwise fully legal businesses.

Awareness of slavery is still really low amongst many people. It’s going on everywhere, not just in the sex business and is very difficult to stop.

Thank you for your own deeply considered and valuable contribution.

Making sex work legal won’t stop slavery - plenty of modern day slaves exists today in nail salons, fast food, cleaning, factory work and so on in every city in every Western country.

Neither. Cinnamon on Debian. Has just enough bling to be pretty and still manages not to be fat, and pretty similar to both your choices.

The ‘ghost’ of Christmas past.

It won’t be that simple.

For starters, you’re assuming t-zero response. It’ll likely be a week before people worry enough that LE isn’t returning before they act. Then they have to find someone else for, possibly, the hundreds or thousands of certs they are responsible for. Set up processes with them. Hope that this new provide is able to cope with the massive, MASSIVE surge in demand without falling over themselves.

And that’s assuming your company knows all its certs. That they haven’t changed staff and lost knowledge, or outsourced IT (in which case they provider is likely staggering under the weight of all their clients demanding instant attention) and all that goes with that. Automation is actually bad in this situation because people tend to forget how stuff was done until it breaks. It’s very likely that many certs will simply expire because they were forgotten about and the first thing some companies knows is when customers start complaining.

LetsEncrypt is genuinely brilliant, but we’ve all added a massive single point of failure into our systems by adopting it.

(Yeah, I’ve written a few disaster plans in my time. Why do you ask?)

Sleeping too well lately? Consider this:

If LetsEncrypt were to suffer a few weeks outage, how much of the internet would break?

Twitter’s already served its purpose. People slagging it off because it’s losing money really don’t understand that it won a country.

It’s the Sharepoint of chat.

50s here. I’ve had that too. Sometimes due to low mental health, but often just a change in interests. Gaming is one hobby I’ve kept coming back to since the early 1980s, and overall it’s pretty constant. Other hobbies have come and gone - I think it helps to have a variety of things to spend your time doing, rather than one big one.

What isn’t constant is the type of games. FPS used to be amazing, but now I get motion sickness with many, including some third person games. Also my reactions are slower with age, so online is often frustrating. I adapt by playing more cosy and strategy games. Factorio Space Age currently taking a lot of my time, but I’ve a few that I keep going back to.

Four planets?

Why would I care enough to try and discredit you on any grounds than you’ve written here? I don’t know you, I don’t care about you other than what I’ve read in this thread where you come across as arrogant and the aggressor. Not quite the innocent party you’re trying to project.

Don’t worry about replying, I’m going to use Lemmy’s block user system. Not used it before, but I think it’s the best way to deal with someone I have a disagreement with and don’t want to talk with any further, rather than wasting others time with vexatious development requests.

EDIT: I’m gonna open an issue so Lemmy lets OPs edit and delete comments on their posts. The amount of argument on here is too bad for a standard centralized moderation model.

Not only do you insult a game that many people have a huge amount of love for, for the weakest reason possible - then you get all salty because people disagree with you.

And THEN, you complain to the developers that you should be able to delete other people’s content that you disagree with?

Seriously, get some perspective and stop being a douche. Please.

but the target audience was just presented factorio 2.0

I totally missed that this was a thing. Saw this and then bought the DLC yesterday at 7pm, figuring I’d get a couple of hours in before going to bed. (I get up early)

Yeah, rigt. 4am this morning and I was still playing. .

Factorio is amazing.

I think your reply would have been more useful if you’d given some pointers about how, instead of just “do it right”.
