Software engineer.. we also use all 16 digits of pi
Unfortunately they could just spin up a lemmy instance on some anonymous server somewhere and do that anyway. I don't want them in here, but they can certainly already pull the data up. To me that necessitates some form of anonymizing protocol, or even a form of shared encryption making it so you can't simply pull data in, you need to be invited or allowed into the federation.
The nice thing is we aren’t really “competing” so to speak. I definitely want lemmy to grow, but the community can be a .0001% chunk of the internet and I would be totally happy as long as it were a kind, useful, and fun chunk
I'm 5 years down the road and... Well let me tell ya, it gets worse
For real the choice used to be "swallow it and be happy" or "just don't use reddit". If 60% of people are happy with this decision they're making (for very pragmatic reasons, I might add), then the other 40% can choose to stay or start accounts in other instances; or both.
Uses vim with arrow keys
I have neither the time, nor confidence to mod; but I have wondered if we should make something like a "lemmy wishlist" for communities we'd like to see ported. Seems like a good way for the lemmy community to vote on and discuss communities they'd like to see, and connect to would-be mods
Geez it's just so incredibly sad to me that facebook has survived this long and even THRIVED while probably being the worst version of what they do, and being the most evil doing it
I honestly wonder if that's the first instance of lemmy lore
I've got vote counts hidden in my UI so things don't feel dead for me, it also helps me resist group think to a varying extent
I like riding my bike a lot and camping. Just did a ride down the Oregon coast this last summer and it was a total blast
Self hosting and software of course, but that's probably pretty common on here
Idk if I would say that this is a fall... it more highlights lemmy's robustness imo
Whew I'm glad I just started up my jellyfin server!
They probably don't need to make a whole platform to do this, though. Couldn't they just slurp the data right out of ActivityPub without making Threads? Either way, I'm dismayed that meta is managing to YET AGAIN convince people that this time they'll be good
**Ask them anything apart from why they aren't pooping for 3 days
Potentially a large stumble for “big social” I don’t think that the msft/goog/amzns of the world are going to feel this as long as they’re service oriented.. but anyone platform oriented is likely watching this closely. That said I don’t think that twitter is going to “end” anytime soon. But their one company domination over the microblogging space will certainly not be quite so absolute
Love it! That's actually my main party trick, it's either asking a whole ton of questions and if that doesn't work I try to steer the conversation into the approximately 30 minutes of material I have on birds. I used to be a crazy nightmare in uber pools, I think
This is the best take I’ve seen in this thread so far. It’s an issue of compelled speech, not of this or that demographic or ideology of the client or service. I’m not trying to dog whistle here, I hate that any business would exercise this in a hateful way, but another example of the reverse would be compelling a black-owned bakery to write an awful racist message on a cake. Obviously no person should be compelled to say what they don’t believe, regardless of the level of asshattery they dabble in.
I feel that... I just wish I had something interesting to post or say lol.
Literally just did this on Saturday. It was easy to do and I'm not seeing any significant changes in resource utilization. I am enjoying being able to directly download media onto my phone with Infuse, however.
Now I only upvote in comments so they're super public.

++ apart from news around really niche communities, it's possible that much like the 24hr news cycle, platforms like reddit and tiktok are not likely the healthiest news sources; there could be an opportunity to aggregate news in some rss reader, though—that way you can at least add a couple more sources on top of the news you get from reddit
What are those subreddits? Maybe there should be a "lemmy community wishlist" community for reddfugees to see about getting conversations rolling. I know I have a few
Just the web (and mobile by extension as I’m using the browser on mobile)
I’m not sure it’s in every instance, but it is on lemm.ee
Well shit. No more lemmy while drunk
<3
What an exciting time though. It feels like the entire internet is ready to just reset back to 2003 when all the good shit was just some person running a server on an old tower they had sitting around. We have some real opportunities to claim just a sliver of individuality it feels like
Making me want to get back into go
Let me tell you that it's worth it. You could probably start with a pi with some external storage for a while depending on how big your library is... but getting some metal to run proxmox over is very very nice (and unfortunately very addicting)
We'll grab those in integration and E2E tests.. let's just stick with even numbers such that 2 < n < 1002... that's 1000 cases, more than enough, and 100% test coverage
Totally fair, and largely what I use it for, but it's also helpful in the term at times to just get out a weird regex for a weirder file operation you don't want to dork
Yeah sorry, a couple of people sound like they think I meant that, I must not have articulated myself well.
If this decision protects that cake maker from doing so, then I would worry about it. Imagining EVERY cake were the same, obviously that would be wrong. I’m just trying to say that it seems like the law has more to do with the content of the message. If a couple wanted a cake saying “only gay sex” or something similarly funny, or a straight couple wanted a cake saying “all gays are bad”, I would feel that while we don’t need to be tolerant of the former business person, or the latter client, neither business person should be compelled to write the message on the cake. In the former case, they should be compelled to make a blank or similar cake with no message, simply not compelled to write the message.
Again, I’m not a legal expert so if I’m misreading the decision, that’s a different story.
Alright I’m sorry, I don’t either. Which is actually why I pointed out specifically that I hate that anyone would use this in a hateful way. I’m surprised you think that I do think that it’s the same. Is there something in my comment which indicates that I believe that?
It was certainly fun back in the day. I was in middle school when I noticed everyone around me starting to use it and it was a bit of a mixed bag for me… at that point not everything was social media so it wasn’t such a hellscape and was a bunch of fun, but even then I think it had a negative impact on me, my friends, and our social lives. I don’t know what it was like before, but seeing that a popular kid had a huge number like 100 notifications on their Facebook could not have been healthy—I don’t think that kids need analytics on how socially successful they are
Maybe someone will find a way to mod or extend an instance in some way which removes the necessity to add a comment. Like a "pre comment alert" plugin. If Lemmy had some form of extensions api it would certainly be possible
We’re definitely a subset of it! And you could argue that any machinations therein are a part of nature, but then again I also think that if you have a computer running a simulation, while the computer is the substrate the simulation is run on, it’s also a bit separate. One way to think about it is that there isn’t really a “place” in the computer you can look and find the simulation. So too is our society. Nature (us) is its substrate, but you can’t really point to anywhere in nature with any kind of precision and say “ah, there is the society”.
In the cluster munitions argument (which I put in but I don’t believe is core to this argument) I believe we leave behind something like 15% of bomblets to the average 40%. I’m not sure that’s good enough for me, personally.. but then again the fact that it’s Ukrainian land does make me think that it’s not quite so black and white as cluster munitions normally are. I’m still not convinced but I think it’s a worthwhile argument either way.
To the rest of the argument. Great points and I hadn’t considered the DOD budget being the primary source of data. As it stands though we’ve still sent something like 30B (a tie with the remaining EU) and yes we’re sending old gear (a wise choice imo) but it’s still not nothing. Even supposing it’s only worth 50% of what it’s billed, we’re still something like 40% above the next largest contributor to the war.
Im still not necessarily passing judgement on it being a good idea (I don’t know what I think) but I just think that it’s a bit unfair to say any opinions against sending more money over is “traitorous” I also think that is a worthwhile debate.
It actually seems like an interesting problem to solve. Instance runners have the sql database with all the voting record, finding manipulative instances seems a bit like a machine learning problem to me
