Why would I need to remember an ip address if I have a hostname? I don't know my ipv4 anywhere since it's all dynamic.

Standards like those change just fine. Sure some stuff uses ascii still, but almost everything I encounter is unicode. Email has had so many things added on over the years that that's not a fair comparison either. Other countries have plenty of kb layouts that are more popular locally than qwerty but came afterwards.

At some point ipv6 will be the default and we'll just use compatibility layers to access ipv4 only things. We don't need every device on board, just the ISPs

tailscale also just has a button to buy/enable mullvad as an exit node. if you're just looking for a commercial vpn for privacy it works well.

the problem is there are a ton of varieties of tofu, and they're all generally around the same price. it seems the silken tofu have around 5g of protein, but some of the extra firm varieties have over 15g protein per 100 tofu, putting it in a much more respectable spot in the bottom middle with the grains and such

one is giving the permission to manage the system service to a specific user, the other is running the service as the current user so they have permission to manage it by default

this just looks like poor moderation, enshittification very specifically refers to monetization efforts of the company destroying the platform

they're really not, slc has a pretty progressive community but it's in direct opposition to the mormons. they're officially accepting of gay people, but as long as they don't do anything gay. they aren't ok with trans people who transition at all.

utah also recently passed bathroom laws for all govt controlled buildings and schools and there are ones for colleges in the works.

generally mormons will be nice and accepting if they think they can convert you, but that's about as far as it goes

it felt to me like coffeescript solved problems that people had, then js got equivalent features. arguably that could happen to ts as well

it's ironic with all this that Google fi messages on Android still doesn't support rcs without losing a bunch of other features

do you have anything to back this up other than a fuzzy claim of authority? so far when I see people say things like this they're always talking about a handful of since fixed vulnerabilities early on in the project

on that note, does anyone have recommendations for a neutral and controversy free instance but that also isn't so quick to defederate?

I understand instances like this wanting to defederate on principle and I'm sure it helps to curate a better experience for the people looking for that. Personally I'd rather make the choice myself to block communities I don't like and leave defederation on an instance level to just blocking illegal content and poor moderation and the like.
