Also, even if they wanted to I don’t think voting could be made anonymous at this point, either. I’m not a programmer in any sense, but I imagine it would totally break federation. Total anonymity would probably need to be a feature from the start.

Kbin at least puts it out there so you know it’s not totally anonymous. Sometimes I wonder how many lemmy users are unaware of this because the software doesn’t make it apparent.

Someone could literally make a website listing downvotes throughout the fediverse, and there's nothing stopping them.

This is why I agree that it should be shown upfront. A lot of people won’t like it, but I think users should be somewhat aware that it’s all technically visible.

Someone is gonna make an instance that does exactly this at some point. It will be inevitable as the fediverse matures.

If it weren't real life I'd like to see that go down lmao.

It would also be hilarious to see Trump's reaction to being taken down by the Swifties.

I hope you're right. I was definitely one of those people who thought Hillary was a slam dunk and thought Trump would never win.

I've not been confident in an election cycle since. I want to be optimistic and say Trump will sink himself and that we will all have the satifaction of seeing his ass in prison. But, he has weasled his way out of every negative consequence in his life and survived political scandals that would have sunk any other politician.

The dude is a cult.

Interesting. As with most microsoft products, it remains to be seen how effective this will actually be. Still, it's indicative of what the technology is capable of.

What magazine is it? I am no expert, but I think you may need to get a lemmy account to find your magazine first, and then it will start federating.

When I was having trouble finding a Lemmy community from Kbin, I had to go to that lemmy community from Kbin where I got a 404 error. After that, I noticed the lemmy community started federating with Kbin. I am assuming the same is true in reverse.

Again, I am no expert so if someone has better information, please correct me!

Can’t say I feel too bad for him.

He should have known this would happen once he agreed that one person could motion to vacate. His only chance was for democrats to come to the rescue, but he dealt them in bad faith.

On the bright side, everyone got to see how disorganized the republicans in congress are. The downside is now we have a crazy religious lunatic with porn-monitoring software on his phone as speaker of the house.

Excellent news!

I know next to nothing about making an app so I really appreciate all the hard work.

It’s super exciting to see the fediverse continue to develop!

Idk, but you would think they would have invested in a better system, especially because they’re handling sensitive data related to people’s health.

I wonder, does HIPPA apply to data collected by 23&Me? I would imagine so because it’s health related.

[…] about 5.5 million people who opted-in to 23andMe’s DNA Relatives feature, which allows customers to automatically share some of their data with others. The stolen data included the person’s name, birth year, relationship labels, the percentage of DNA shared with relatives, ancestry reports and self-reported location.

Well, that’s just great.

The article also says that hackers were selling the data for up to $10 per account.

Interestingly, 23&Me also just updated their terms of service a couple days ago too.

Incredibly shortsighted. This conflict has no easy solution and everyone involved wants Biden to take their side.

The trouble here is that the democrats coalition has stakes in both sides. This entire conflict was practically a gift to the republicans.
