I don’t get what they were thinking, how could they write a character letter for a convinced rapist? “Ya but he never raped us!”

If compiled languages bother you, then you’re gonna love assembly.

One student told police the conversation became disturbing, saying it was apparent Worley "did not care at all". Worley made statements about snorting cocaine off of a hooker and described multiple sexually explicit acts, after asking students if they knew what "iglooing" and "snowballing" were. One student told police Worley taught two kids how to give a man oral sex, "walking them through the process step-by-step".

Multiple students overheard Worley tell the students that the lowest age he would date was 14-years-old.

Doesn’t deck verified mean a lot more than just Linux compatibility? Specifically conforming to deck controls, the deck screen size, and other aspects of playing on the deck?

I don’t get why a Central African country would try to send their prisoners halfway around the world - that would be insanely expensive and a logistical nightmare.

I feel like Trump must think the Congo is in South America instead of Africa…

This is stupid, why can't I just point it at my interpreter? Oh, right, money. smh

Frankly I don’t see how anyone could trust Reddit as the steward of decentralized communities like they claimed to be.

They’re in it for the money, that’s it.

When you edit your comment all you’re doing is adding a “new” comment, the old comment is flagged to not show and the new comment shows in its place.

This achieves nothing.

For those unaware, you swipe to access voting/reply on comments, swipe from left to right on a comment to get to the up/down vote and swipe right to left to reply.

On your inbox, you can mark replies “read” by far swiping right to left.

You can also swipe to go back to your feed back swiping left to right starting from the edge of the post.

Lastly you can access settings by clicking the “gear” icon in your profile screen (top right)

I’m now on time. People notice my punctuality, no one actually cares.

Due to how federation works, the federated instance needs to accept and process the activity. Each application can define its own "optional" activity properties, but the activitypub specs define mandatory properties and some optional properties for coherence across the fediverse.

The way lemmy implements this is to use the activitypub-federation-rust library that the lemmy devs built. Through this, activities in Lemmy are sent using HTTP and have a failure retry:

It is possible that delivery fails because the target instance is temporarily unreachable. In this case the task is scheduled for retry after a certain waiting time. For each task delivery is retried up to 3 times after the initial attempt. The retry intervals are as follows:

one minute, in case of service restart
one hour, in case of instance maintenance
2.5 days, in case of major incident with rebuild from backup

In the case of votes, the activity is a "like" - some other federated applications understand this and will accept it, but others won't. For example, peertube does not have a like activity, and I don't believe they would handle it.

However votes are shared across instances. When a user "likes" something from another instance, Lemmy will notify that actor (the page) that the activity (a like) was emitted by another actor (you).

Hope that clarifies things. I'm still learning all this myself so if anyone can contribute or improve my answer, please do!

Hardly - he has an SSN. Any job that pays taxes he’ll be garnished. Even if he manages to hide his identity with a fake ssn, his life as it was is ruined. Definitely a form of justice considering he literally was trying to ruin her life through these actions.

Scrolling through, I thought the thumbnail picture was a butt

For me it’s: work 15 hours straight with no ability to stop or change focus, or not work for 1 month straight.

You mean like my friend fiction? Like the story where the whole basketball team becomes zombies and then they all fight over dating me?

Butts butts, I love butts.

Can someone pretend I’m “dumb” and explain what this is? Cause if it’s what I think it is… I’m very interested

This is a terrific example of where a choropleth (Ideally by county) would have been much more effective than a heat map.

Seems like a lot of people are unaware of white pages

Everything starts somewhere, but I wonder what macOS cli’s are the target for this tool that doesn’t have a Linux equivalent

I’m in my mid 30’s and I spent A LONG time working out, getting as fit as I could.

I still hated my body when I looked in the mirror, and I hated every second of the workout. “Post workout” I was so proud, but like, that’s equivalent to drinking so you could appreciate being sober.

I stopped a while ago and started just trying to eat healthy and focus on other sources of happiness. I’m much happier since!

You might be dying. Idk

Easy, it’s right over there. Next question, please

Gonna be a gacha ridden hellscape

So, on that topic of "security" - just remember that whenever you post, your post is essentially sent to every "instance" that is federated (and listening for the community you posted to). Each instance is it's own server running it's own version of an activitypub implementation (lemmy, mastadon, etc).

So on lemmy.world that means your post is sent to literally thousands of servers that you cannot directly influence. If you delete a post, a request is made to those servers to also delete the post, but if that instance is modified or unavailable when the request is sent (it'll re-try, but there's a limit how many times), then it's possible your post will not be deleted and you'll never know.

Keep in mind this also means that anyone, say a government or private company, can establish an instance, federate, and receive the posts of everyone. Their instance may be nearly completely invisible - so you won't know they're collecting that information.

However, lemmy stores and sends almost no information about any user. A user profile does not contain IP address or country or anything. All of that stays in the server logs of the instance you originate from, and never enters the database. So your "true" personal information isn't shared, but your account name, and a link to your account, and the post content (whatever text you add) is shared.

Lastly, images tend to be shared. Lemmy uses "pict-rs" which is a FOSS image hosting server, and when an instance receives a federated post, if there is an image in the "URL" field, then it will ask pict-rs to download that image to its server for easier serving to its users.

I seriously cannot believe what a heavy hand reddit is taking. That IPO threat must be hurting A LOT of wallets right now. This is the flailing desperation of a dying animal, imo. Idk if reddit will actually "die" but I can't see any healthy and vibrant community existing after this. I just hope they don't target Lemmy instances with under-handed "subterfuge"

I think you're underestimating the value organizations and enterprises put on having high quality support available at a moments notice. Particularly first party support.

I'm sorta looking forward to how lemmy/beehive/fediverse system improves. It's kinda exciting. Like sure things are a bit rough around the edges for now but so was reddit for a long time. Seems like there's a lot of people working to improve and make it better, and the communities are actually pretty big! I'm excited to get off reddit, that shit was getting stale and I'm hoping that this "reset" will also help build new communities that aren't just reposting the same shit over and over again.

I recently submitted a PR for stopping pictrs image federation. IMO the images themselves do not need to be downloaded when served by another pictrs instance. This would reduce the amount of diskspace and reduce the burden of hosting images that are unwanted by the instance owners.

What are your thoughts on this, and do you think this will be merged? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3799

Oh great, 40B to go straight into comcast and att's pockets while they deny that they have any obligation to provide any upgrades. Fucking nationalize these services already, it's ridiculous that we're going to continue publicly funding them while they maintain near complete monopolies and disregard the public's mandates.

Sucks. I wanted billy in jail for purjury and fraud. I wonder what this’ll mean for Karl’s trial

Very much so

This is why I shave all my body hair. I refuse to have a rat controlling me.

Humans are believed to have risen the food chain due to our ability to sweat and endurance chase our prey the way other predators couldn’t. This concept is known as “persistence hunting” and basically involved chasing our prey at a slow but consistent rate until they exhausted themselves and we could catch them

It depends on the source. Lemmy uses “pict-rs” as the built in image hosting mechanism, this includes a way to fetch small thumbnails. But other hosts, like catbox.moe or Imgur or anywhere else might not be being fetched efficiently.

Additionally, pict-rs uses imagemagik to transform the image on request. If that transformation doesn’t already exist (cached), or the host is over-loaded or under-spec’d, then you might see a delay in the request response

Your best bet is to use your developer tools to check network usage and response times if you are interested

Why are they doing this. Waze was such an amazing tool

Defense contractors.

I assure you that’s not the case anymore
