Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why do so many services require email configuration?English
6·2 days agoEven if you self-host, other people’s mailservers still interact with it, unless you only chat with other users you host. And some of the big webmails variously get really pernickity about your DNS, DKIM and more, or they deploy some pretty obnoxious countermeasures against your server with little explanation. So I’d say it’s more often both than not, no matter what you do. If you think it’s not being a pain, there’s probably an unpleasant surprise in your server logs or coming soon!
It’s still often worth self-hosting, but that’s more big webmail really sucks, even ISPs often don’t set their mailservers up well and it’s often an early casualty of ISP managers looking for costs to cut.

Even better, go watch a bike race. It’s probably much cheaper, even with some travel.

World News@lemmy.world•BBC leaders resign amid scandal over misleading edit of Trump speechEnglish
4·4 days agoBut he did say ‘we fight like hell’. The bad edit just made it seem clearer than Trump’s speeches ever are. If there had been an edit flash (where the screen briefly goes grey between clips) and ideally a couple of snatches of speech from in between, there would have been no credible complaint. This seems more like wanting history to be neater than it usually is, not an attempt to change Trump’s fundamental message, no matter how much he’s backpedalled it since.

6·4 days agoHow can you tell? It looks like a bad edit. This is not like the 2007 incident of editing things out of order to fake someone leaving an appointment angrily, then making an indiscreet comment on the faked event.

52·4 days agoNaughty CNN! Trump did indeed say to ‘we fight like hell’ as you can see in the full transcript on news sites that haven’t surrendered yet, such as AP: Transcript of Trump’s speech at rally before US Capitol riot | AP News
Any one hour documentary pretty much has to edit that rambling dumpster fire of a speech. The BBC’s main mistake was not to make the edit clearer.
This was probably worth an apology. Was it worth the leader resigning? Probably not. The right-wing media succeeds in hunting another witch. I hope it backfires and Labour appoint someone further left.

World News@lemmy.world•Denmark’s government aims to ban access to social media for children aged under 15English

World News@lemmy.world•Denmark’s government aims to ban access to social media for children aged under 15English
5·7 days agoHow can you call this good? While I agree there are problems needing tackling, this proposal does nothing to help young adults and the parental consent option seems very likely to create a have/have-not split in child groups which will also have negative impacts.
It looks rather like the “we must do something, and this is something, so we must do this” fallacy being used to exploit child protection to start compulsory ID checks.

World News@lemmy.world•Denmark’s government aims to ban access to social media for children aged under 15English
4·7 days agoYes, this does smell a bit like fixing the wrong problem mixed with a possible trojan horse for compulsory ID-verification (and the dodgy businesses often claiming to provide it). Surely if social media is too corrosive for young people, there are a lot of adults who also won’t be able to cope, so the corrosive bits need to be tackled?

World News@lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani wins NYC mayor's race, capping a stunning ascentEnglish
1·8 days agoYeah, that’s not how socialism is used in most of the world. It’s to the right of communism, to the left of social democratic, not really encountered the others enough to know where they stand, except anarchism is off on another axis. Communists may see socialism as a step towards them, but socialism doesn’t necessarily mean collectives, as other forms of ownership are accepted. Look at the principles of groups like Socialist International.

World News@lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani wins NYC mayor's race, capping a stunning ascentEnglish
2·8 days agoIt’s more part of socialism than it is of liberalism! Liberals generally want the least property regulation needed for their system to work, whereas socialists want the means of production to be owned by the workers or users, depending what sort of socialists.
Are you confusing socialism with communism? Communism is more likely to say everything should be common property.

That depends who’s hosting it. There’s few good reviews of email hosting out there at the moment.
