Free pis as far as I'm concerned. If they were ever gonna "recover" their assets they would have to track them down and if anybody has just the pi in their possession they'd have to prove it's one of theirs, probably by getting law enforcement involved. I doubt the city would be all that happy to help when they've literally just littered throughout the city and left.

Them: "my favourite political party will stay in power forever"

Who is setting this standard? Is the general gaming population really upset if the graphics of the new CoD or sportsgame iteration is not hyperrealistic?z

You might wanna read up on the algorithm Lemmy uses. Specifically this part:

• Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).
• Hot uses the post votes, and the post published time.

If you're sorting by Active, that means those posts you're seeing are pretty, well, active even if they're a couple days old.

Sure they can. But...

1. How can they compete in a space where people are already there providing a service without trying to extract value from them?
2. Why would one of these larger instances sell out when their userbase can sustain them and selling out is antithetical to the reason they started the instance in the first place?
3. I and many people like me would be fine in our own instances. We'd just defederate. If, say, lemmy.world sold out those guys would just have to switch instances. It's a pain, yes, but it's possible.

I wonder if he thinks about it at all or if he's got a gang of yes men telling him it's all good.

And pounds are what Americans use instead of kilograms.

She can't "own" people, don't be ridiculous now. She can only compel them with violence into servitude and extract the fruits of their labor. But ownership? That's messed up.

Because nobody really cares about free as in freedom. Speaking in hyperbole, of course, but you step outside of our tech savvy bubble for just a moment and it feels that way very quickly. As far as they're concerned, Facebook is free. Threads is free. Switching from twitter to threads is just switching from one shitty free thing to another free thing that they think will be less shitty. Of course it's less shitty now, they want users. Mastodon? Pleroma? Seems kinda confusing, what's a server? Is FB a big server? Yeah... Free software alternatives have some PR problems to overcome at the moment. Now if there could be a new thing, a killer app, that was free? That would be insane.

Yeah, what do people expect? It's not like they own massive, self-sufficient data centers on several continents.

More complex build systems are just build.sh calling other build.sh in different configurations and using different software. It's build.sh all the way down.

Gotta go with the Normandy SR-2

And her crew 😢

I think that's what they were saying. For those, it is likely indeed malice. For friends and family, it's likely just stupidity or ignorance.

This level of effort is probably geared more towards those who create the torrents, not those who consume them.

I think the problem here is there's no prior consent. If you've DM'd someone in the past, they can now call you. Twitter never had video call before, and the people who use it never expected to be giving consent for a video call maybe even several years later.

I see you.

But both examples you're suggesting sound wrong to me, and here's why.

"One in ten residents is" ignores the fact that you're actually referring to roughly 10 million people. As in, "in Japan, 10 million people are over 80". If you were maybe saying something like "one of these ten people is" that makes more sense.

"None of these things is" ignores the fact you're talking about a quantity of 0. It's not the same as "not one of these things" because that is just a negation of "one of these things" you're saying "0 things are".

It may not be formally or technically correct, but I'm a native English speaker and they just feel right.

Future you is thinking the same thing and not giving you the numbers unfortunately

How inaccurate is your scale?

Which is why either

• Votes should be publicly viewable like they are in kbin. Not necessarily readily viewable to save server resources, but through a click through or something. No need to hide something that is, in essence, public info.
• Votes should not be federated at all, but that would be awful for very small instances, though this is how Mastodon has always done it.
• Votes should be federated in aggregate, but this would kind of break federation because it's a new type of Activity.

If Mr Pooh was personally overseeing my day to day I'd feel pretty special

I, as a mastodon user, will be able to follow my friends, celebrities, artists and interact with them when federation is activated

This is exactly what's scary. You might wanna check out this blog post about Google and XMPP, which is another federated protocol. Google Talk used to support XMPP, to the point that so much of the XMPP user base were Google Talk users. Then, Google Talk started implementing Google Talk specific features that other XMPP clients did not support. Yes, it made Google Talk more feature rich, but it then made regular XMPP users out of the loop. Then, the final nail in the coffin was Google Talk dropping XMPP support. Suddenly everybody's friends who were using XMPP to communicate just... went offline as far as GT users were concerned. Then of course, Google killed Google Talk. This is EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) in a nutshell, and any time corporate interests enter projects like this, you're at risk of this happening.

Don't get me wrong, the fediverse could use some upgrades, more resources, more users. But I just don't trust Meta to have the fediverse's best interests at heart in the way. They're a corporation, one of the biggest in the world, and they'll only ever care about what benefits Meta.

That's been part of the official Reddit app for a while now.

I was actually surprised that you could still bookmark javascript: URLs since you can't paste them into the address bar anymore.

You also need an eye for the right aesthetics and some marketing savvy, there's lots of pretty girls who still don't meet the cut for "influencer". Granted, being pretty and having marketing savvy is a really good recipe for success, but it still makes no guarantees.

You thought my full size oven, 6 burner stove, and kitchen island were for... preparing and cooking food? Am I some kind of servant?

Those guys are exactly the kinds of people who should be on the fediverse, honestly. Running a Lemmy instance, even not participating but just letting it accumulate.

I posted about it elsewhere in the thread but there's an active discussion about implementing something like multireddits, that could be the solution. On the whole, though, I think fragmentation is kind of the point of federation and probably a good thing, given that we have a way of browsing through all of the communities without having to go through each individually. It means no one person can really decide that "actually, fuck games, /c/gaming is a bong smoking community now" cause then we just go to the gaming community on another instance. Perhaps a multireddit you can subscribe to that will automatically subscribe you to all the communities without having to update?

For sure! I was more trying to see if it'd work at all. Apps seem to cache the image but the websites just load it. Theoretically this could be used to collect IP addresses 🤔

And the of is an optional field for if they have an onlyfans

Use emojis for extra brevity.

🏭🌊👎. 🧼🌊👍?

Man, I can't believe people fell for this. Seeing it now, the copy on the "ad" is just horrendous.

I made a fix for this and tried reaching out to the owners of lemmy.world, Beehaw, and sh.itjust.works so they could grab it (it's most prevalent on their instances because of the volume of subscriptions they have) but while Ruud did say he'd check it out no one else responded and the patch isn't up anywhere other than my instance. I was gonna make a PR but the Lemmy Devs said that they wouldn't make another release for 0.17 and this issue is already fixed in 0.18.

Hey now single root user no password is all that will fit on my 2 kb hard drive

I barely see them probably due to the communities I'm subscribed to, but to me Lemmy looks plenty active without them.

Logseq is another one under AGPL-3.0

I mean, it's just like collecting baseball cards. Just because I enjoy collecting them, doesn't mean I inherently have to jerk off to them more than the next guy

Ugh all these newbies just don't get it. It's ZJh, people! It's always been ZJh!

Honestly the open source office suites are pretty amazing now. It's what put me off Linux initially all those years ago, how Word/Excel just felt way better than LibreOffice, but now even the browser based stuff is on par.

I'm pretty sure it's a net increase in load, saying this from my own small instance here. I don't want to primarily use the big instances - that's why I started my own. But lemmy.world encompasses so much that any load I would've prevented by subscribing to communities outside of lemmy.world is probably negated by lemmy.world already being subscribed to that community. And even if we're just counting lemmy.world content, pretty sure it's a net increase because browsing lemmy.world just shows aggregate votes and paginated lists. When federating they're sending everything, even the 90% of stuff I and my users never even see. I wonder what the tipping point is, where the load of federating communities is outweighed by the load saved by not constantly reloading lists and whatnot. I bet it's at least 10.

EDIT: Also wanted to add there's proposals for how to spread out the load without having to switch protocols or anything. I certainly wouldn't mind my own instance being used to forward stuff on.

I believe db0 is working on something like this to help combat the eventual waves of spam and stuff were going to see.
