And the license means fuck all on any public website where you waive your right to privacy by using. Esp by federating across other websites, where rules are different across every place it's federated to.

So, expecting to apply a CC license to comments made publicly, is like expecting to not be recorded or photographed when in a public place.

And nice try on the zoomer comment, but way wrong. People trying to license their comments has happened for quite a while and it's always been shown as not binding. Trying to impose your licensing on a public website is laughable.

Also, the 1st amendment has nothing to do with what you can or can't say to a private person. So, please don't speak and try to compare things you obviously don't understand.

You mean, how you waive your rights to what you post on a website? That makes them public domain.

Just automatically lowers the value of what you say when it has no bearing on anything.

Why do boomers put a license link on public comments where the license has no value? I'd recommend removing it since having it automatically makes your opinions worth less.

From the notices section

You do not have to comply with the license for elements of the material in the public domain

Which means comments posted anywhere.

I love my foldable and never see myself going back to a candy bar style phone again.

Narrower front screen makes for easy one-handed usage. Open it up to watch videos and browse pictures. Larger screen to draw, colour, and write on. Larger screen for consumption of text when needed. Larger screen for multi app usage.

One comment says this

For whoever sees this, the story is about the Nashville shooter's manifesto being released. That info should get you to the story.

At the bottom of the webpage for each instance is a link that says "Instances" If you click on that it shows all of the instances that are federated first. Then below that is the list of blocked instances. Easiest way to look is by doing "ctrl + f" and searching for "blocked" and that will normally get you to that list the fastest.

You can see this list whether you are a member or not of that instance. You just need to make sure you go to the actual instance and are not viewing it from your "home" instance account.

Guess what? It's managed for you here. And everywhere. Every place defederates with some other place. The only way to have what you want is to run your own instance and never defederate.

the 70+ instances that are blocked just magically showed up after you "checked"?

Comments like this around make me chuckle. Especially if you look and see the list of blocked instances already from a place where people try to claim they don't want a place that defederates.

Pretty certain every single instance defederates with some other instance. So if you really don't want to defederate, then you'd have to make your own instance and never defederate from any other place.

For now I blocked the /c/random@kbin.social because I was sick of it. I originally added kbin.social to my ublock origin filter list. But then I'd get whole pages of blank lines from so much spam.

 

Hopefully this is alright to post here.

I live in the US and am trying to move to somewhere around the Ottawa area to be with my partner and her daughter, but I am having a lot of trouble trying to find jobs that would sponsor for a work visa.

I do IT sysadmin, AWS engineer, Linux work, but can't seem to find places that are hiring or will sponsor. Is this something that is very hard to find or am I just looking in the wrong places?

I have 2 kids and am trying to move there to keep them safe and retain their bodily rights as they get older.

If anyone knows anything or has any ideas for help, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you
