I think Kerrigor meant that requiring politicians retire at the age of retirement would cause a push for retirement age to get bumped higher, and that it would be better for the maximum age for a politician to be tied to the average life expectancy (e.g. no more than 10 years younger than the average life expectancy, or some such).

The way I do it, if someone says they are actively searching, they roll and take what they roll. If they are not, then I use the passive score to let them know if they see something. However, I have played with DMs that use a rule where if you roll less than you passive then you can use your passive score.

I think that's the point. If you looked at a headline for something you already know about, then you already know if it bogus or not. If you already know how reliable the source is, then your exposure to risk of accepting bad information is reduced. The point is to see if you are susceptible to new information that is bogus, and if you can recognize when a source you haven't seen before is unreliable.

On Kbin, Lemmy groups are called "magazines," so all you have to do is go to the magazines list, search for what you want, and subscribe. You can even subscribe to magazines hosted on other servers from there.

 

So an earlier post got me musing idly on the topic of integration between multiple federated services. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to integrate video hosting, discussions, microblogs, image sharing, and so on in beautiful seamless glory! Post a pic in Lemmy, it's automatically added to your Pixelfed album; upload a song to your NextCloud and people can see it in your funkwhale profile. That kind of thing.

One of the things that I figure will be useful reach that goal, I figure, is a form of federated identity management. Linking accounts can be done, but there would be a lot of advantages to having one account that knows where the different services you subscribe to are located, allowing the integration to happen seamlessly in the background.

And looking around, I see that it already exists as a concept, but I can't seem to find anyone discussing or implementing it in the Fediverse. For something that would solve a lot of problems, including decentralized (and self-controlled) identification, SSO, and account migration, it seems like something that everyone would be jumping on.

Am I missing something?

That's the fun part. You can subscribe to the content on another instance from your "home" instance. Right now I'm subscribed to feeds from possumpat.io, lemmy.ml, and more, and they all show up in my feed on my kbin.social home page. Even this post is on feddit.de, and I'm using my kbin account to reply.

I see so much integration potential here. Want to post a video? It posts to a local PeerTube instance and embeds the video in the Mastadon post. Use Drupal to organize files in a local NextCloud instance for sharing on Lemmy. Use Mobilizion to set up community events in Kbin.

I'm not sure. Let me Google that real quick to see.

Sometimes, security just means not being the low-hanging fruit.

For those of us who understand how the platform works, it wouldn't be an issue. However, if we want mass adoption of the platform, we need to take into consideration those who don't fully understand the technology and avoid situations that will lead to scams where feasible. Names of authority, like admin, root, super, etc., make a user appear to have authority they don't, which can mislead new users. ("Support our server by sending bitcoin to this address that is really my personal wallet" type scams comes to mind.) You could say that it's the person's fault for falling for it, but it's something that would drive people away from the platform which can be easily avoided in the first place.
