They tend to move around though.

Did you get lost on the way to Lemmy.ml?

1.5 billion in crypto isn’t something you can spend without attracting attention, of course it was them.

Yeah. Definitely propaganda.

You poor thing.

What are the chances this took place during working hours in China?

I lived through the Troubles. I was in London during the [IRA] bombings. I know what a terrorist organisation is.

That’s a very good point actually, what we typically think of as terrorism is acts of violence against people, not property damage.

The next election in the UK will be fascinating to watch.

That’s such a pretentious way to put it, on par with describing popular movies as “popcorn films”

So the other person would need to be in the same venue as you, or possibly the next building over?

There’s a very narrow use case for this, from what I can tell.

It would be interesting to see something similar that required accusations to be backed up with evidence. Police reports, court proceedings and results, news articles etc.

It would also be a lot safer, legally speaking, for the service provider.

I can see a use case for sending files from phone to phone, but wouldn’t you just talk to someone if you’re that close?

Also, I wonder what the theoretical range is? How many relay points will a message go through?

So, if you’re a child, watch some videos about budgeting, maybe a few cooking videos?

I dunno, what are some categories of video no youth would ever watch?

Yeah, that makes sense. If you’re already on a footpath, I don’t see how a high vis would make any difference.

They have the occasional good one, such as this.

Which is even worse, because unless someone tells them, they’re blissfully unaware.

With most forms of Libel, at least the victim will see it in a timely manner.

You make a valid point, this platform absolutely shits on anyone without technical knowledge, just look at the hundred or so smug replies telling you what flavor of Linux they run if you mention a problem with Windows. So, no surprise everyone is focusing on that, and not the human aspect here.

Having said that, there is a power imbalance to this that I really don’t like, the accuser gets to hide behind a veil of anonymity, and the accused has their name published, and is forced to defend themselves.

I’d love to see a source for that claim, because I do drive in rural areas with no street lighting, and high vi’s makes a person visible from multiple times the distance.

Also, people driving on the back roads tend to be paying a bit more attention.

Yeah, I’m guessing you’ve never been anywhere properly rural. The distances involved are huge, and there are almost no pedestrians, as going anywhere but the neighbour’s place would mean walking for hours.

Putting in footpaths on every road would be an absurd amount of money.

I mean, making sure drivers can see you seems like a very sensible thing to do. I’ve come across pedestrians on unlit roads, and any sort of high visibility clothing or a light makes them visible from multiple times the distance.

There’s a reason cyclists are required to have lights outside of daylight hours where I live.

Oh, that would be hilarious to watch.

Fair point.

There’s definitely a use case, but there’s an inherent power imbalance to these products that makes sure they will always be misused. The submitters are anonymous, and it’s up to the person being reported on to prove the accusations are false.

Or, they’re supposed to be anonymous.
