The article addresses exactly this suggestion.

Remember, the attack model proved highly effective even against a very silent keyboard, so adding sound dampeners on mechanical keyboards or switching to membrane-based keyboards is unlikely to help.

Different platform, but exactly the same deal moderating Twitch chats. I think my favorite insult that I’ve received was that I was personally “the downfall of Western civilization.”

The upshot to those disruptions happening in an active chat like that though is that everyone sees how much of a knob that person is being and is perfectly happy to see them gone.

Certainly a possibility, but I don’t really expect it to be a common concern. Defederation is mostly about keeping problematic people out when an instance’s admins either can’t or won’t resolve whatever problem is at play. Most instances will never even realize a single-user instance is lurking at all if they don’t bother to crawl the logs and said user doesn’t cause a scene.

I’d expect most whitelist-only instances will have been that way from the start instead of growing large and then shutting the door, because the goals of running an instance like that are fundamentally different.

I’m definitely interested in seeing how the single-user instance offerings develop across the various federated applications. I have no interest in taking on the role of admin or moderator for people I don’t know personally, but am more than happy to run my own front-end service that’ll let me lurk and interact with all varieties of ActivityPub content.

For now it seems kbin might win that fight for me since it’s equipped to handle reddit-style communities and threads while also providing a workable microblog interface. But it does seem to be a bit on the heavy side… I wonder if we might see some software created for this particular usage scenario one day, if it isn’t already being worked on somewhere.

Great recommendation. There’s something special about doggedly tearing down those massive hulks of metal piece-by-piece and executing your plan of how to crack the thing wide open.

100%. What an experience.

If I’m not careful, an entire afternoon will disappear before I notice if I fire up Trackmania. It’s just so good at getting me in to a flow state of just really dialing in my gameplay.

Journey is just One Of Those Games. I like to replay it once a year, usually on some quiet December evening when I can really just shut out the world and focus on a front-to-back play-through.

As any good legal question goes, I imagine the answer is one of the many shades of “It depends.”

Ultimately it’s going to come down to how accommodating Reddit wants to be if rightsholders lawyers come around demanding an explanation for why Reddit facilitates the piracy of their works. Generally a platform doesn’t have liability for infringing content posted on it as long as they are responsive to requests to take it down.

I wouldn’t consider myself a power user on ebook servers by any means, but I spun up Kavita a few weeks back and it definitely handles everything I need it to so far. Feels better to use than calibre IMO too.
