mildred593on Heavy electric trucks cheaper than diesel goods trucks

What about including the true cost of remediating lithium pollution?

I had a really similar idea I'm working on and this can be solved by federation, and allowing users to move freely between servers. A gicen server could have its own moderation list. If you want to bypass it you'll need to connect to a server in another juridiction.

> If they get the approval they seek, you can bet a lot of women in red states — where Republican lawmakers are doing everything in their power to block access to health care — will suddenly start praising Satan.

mildred593on The CNAME of the Game: Large-scale Analysis of DNS-based Tracking Evasion

I always thought that was a bad decision, thinking that subdomains could be related security-wise to other domains looking the same.

DNS was thought out from the beginning so you could split it anywhere you wanted to delegate things, and you can also delegate with CNAME too.

I'd welcome a security model that does not use origins. It's doable, but the origin trick was a convenient way to enforce some security measures bolted on as an after thought without breaking much the compatibility.

mildred593on The Fediverse is better than regular social media

That's my problem with the fediverse, I'm more far-right that far-left and I find nobody that share my opinions on the fediverse. Until it changes to be more open-minded, I will have to find my way elsewhere.
