I mostly agree, and it’s the secondary part, the lack of punishment/consequences that led to asking this question. If the criticism is ineffective at persuading others toward your views, does it outweigh whatever attention/awareness it’s giving the subject?

What do you mean by user abstraction? First I’ve seen this mentioned, or put this way.

I’m asking about before anyone has subscribed to remote instances’ stuff, how do they find the remote instances’ stuff to begin with? Sorry, having trouble finding a clearer way to ask this without getting in the weeds

Thanks for the detailed reply! The potential complexity (depending on how much you want to do with it) is a major part of why I was asking, both in terms of use and administration.

Despite the challenges that poses and absence of mobile apps, it still sounds great, but definitely something to go in with an idea of what you do and don’t want to do with it.

Wouldn’t it be easier for everyone to instead not add such systems? After all, don’t many go for the simple logic of bigger number is better instead of doing the math?

Any ideas how it might restore the backup on signing in without needing your key afterward if it’s E2EE? Doesn’t this call into question their E2EE claims?

I’m also making sure only to use drives whose S.M.A.R.T. can be read without removing their enclosure.

That’s a good call, which drives have you found that support this?

Why?

How is Kvaesitso pronounced?

I follow ya, I have trouble writing these questions to thread the needle between too broad and too narrow. Too broad and understandably, I get responses correctly calling it out as you have, yet too narrow and it doesn’t produce the conversation and different responses I’m interested in seeing.

There are a lot of ways to interpret this question, it really depends on the information and the people.

This is intentional. When I post to this AskLemmy community I try to frame my questions to fit its description:

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

I fall back to more specific questions here when I can’t find a relevant, active community to post to (or forget to look for one).

I was meaning any kind of information wherein clarity may be valued, so political information is a valid kind to consider for sure!

While I’m aware of Contact, and know it relates to people, do you really agree with that premise? Isn’t the inconsistency in employed units of measure sufficient to indicate otherwise?

Also, tangled knots happen in space. What kind of space can time get tangled within?

Now that’s another fun question! It also makes me wonder, how would space behave in tangly time?

Would the space in which time gets tangled be primarily around extreme phenomena like black holes, or the very beginnings of the universe (or a universe, if one wants to get into multiverse angles)?

True! It is intentionally insufficiently defined to inspire and encourage imaginative replies!

But what if you witnessed your knot while a knot?

You don’t think if time bent on itself you might be able to see events from before or after happening out of sequence around you?

Is it possible this is a case of Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man, given the history of the FBI (and other U.S. intelligence agencies)?

Thanks for yours and @JupiterRowland@sh.itjust.works’s deep dive into this!

You don’t like having it duck you over when you’re really trying to duck? 😜
