welcome to you and everyone else coming over! looking forward to great shenanigans.
The movie citizen four did an excellent job detailing different ways a government (in this case the united states) can do this.
spez fucking with 3rd party developers, mods and fucking down on lies to the community.
this. you should be in charge of our collective lemmy talking points for the lemmy curious. well explained and easily understood. bravo 👏 !!!
here’s a question, wouldn’t it be more impactful to encourage users to redact with a protest statement promoting fedverse first?
assuming they’re doing a 30 day backup scheme then this becomes part of their working set going forward. messing with the data in this way especially if we can do it in volume might make it harder for LLMs to extract useful information from our noise.
we then can then start deleting our posts as a second protest after that.
thoughts?
doing the same as we speak. My replacement text is “Moved to Lemmy because Reddit has become greedy with data generated by their community”
all attention to this mess is good imho. also remember chat gpt was trained on reddit data i until fall 2021 so should be able to pull on archived zeitgeist for a quick and dirty answer
wonder if regular carpet bombing the open subs with a black “Reddit is killing third-party app (and itself)” might be effective? gives the mods an “out” because it’s not against TOS - and if it were widespread enough eventually a few of them will hit front page
not my drama but a friends… her mom has uncontrolled diabetes along with borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.
a couple of months ago she got and at home manicure from some shady outfit. ended up with an fungus which when asked to recount how this could have happened she kept lying and saying she didn’t know.
she didn’t keep up with the care on it so it became infected and they needed to do surgery to remove her nail. during the surgery they discovered it had infected the bone and the tip of the finger needed to be amputated.
they do this and send her home. my friend settles her in after surgery, went i guess to use the bathroom before leaving only to find her mom gathering her purse with keys in hand.
as you might expect my friend was appalled and asked her where she was going. mom replies…" well your aunt asked me to drive her to the airport today "
friend looks out the window and yes, there’s auntie “waiting on the street with her purple suitcase” 🤣
apparently mom knew this and said nothing to aunt or my friend.
so when you’re dealing with your drama, send thanks into the electrons that it could be much worse ☺️
I’m taking the same mindset - curating social media vs big gulping it. Thank you spez and elon for me reboot.
I’m not a doctor but did study anatomy for yoga teacher training -
Do you sit a lot? if so it sounds like maybe the psoas or hip flexor which wraps from the back around to hip may be tight or irritated. If the hip is out of whack that might take the knee with it.
Have you tried gentle stretches to see if it helps?
There’s great beginner youtuber called Yoga with Adrienne who has a bunch of these kinds of stretches. When i say gentle stretches, please be kind to yourself and be super gentle 😉
There’s a big difference between pain and discomfort. If you feel any sharp pain, needless, numbness stop the stretching immediately. If it’s just achy just stay there for a bit and see if it loosens up.
Finally as someone who had had back issues - i was told if you ever experience any sudden weakness, numbness or have trouble urinating get to the ER asap. That might be a nerve problem which is serious and needs attention.
Please let us posted on how you get on if you’re comfortable sharing. Sending all good thoughts through the electrons for a speedy recovery ❤️
after all the rain we had socal is riddled with mosquitoes that don’t seem to mind the weather. watching this thread to see if someone’s got something to help us
unfortunately yes the blackout will eventually pass … right now i think the only question is at what cost to reddit?
curious what the zeitgeist would be if the vc or fidelity made soez step down, which replaces him and to what net effect?
seeing his credibility is completely shot publicly, is this at all worthy of putting on the table?
Catharsis. think that’s all it is and will die down in due time.
shower thoughts… and still on my first cup of coffee to more just musing than anything …
if storage is the concern wonder if the lemmy roadmap might one day include an option to use cloud based storage?
azure storage at .06/gb per month is likely cheaper and more redundant than local storage - even if you factor in calls to the blob which could be lowered via caching.
cloud storage potentially might one day lead to a option for smaller self hosters to opt into a shared blob instance where the and cost is shared.
in this scenario security to ensure the cloud blob couldn’t be deleted would need to be thought through (maybe splitting the password among multiple admins with each having one part of the whole?) but might be one way to better encourage more self hosting for them compute side of things.
the other thing to consider with low effort, duplication of memes is the server overhead. one thing to burn corporate coffers with the same people of walmart and cat tropes but this kind of stuff burns server and storage resources.
for a corporate entity looking to make billions off our data that’s the cost of doing business – but for lemmy server admins it’s a truly personal cost.
imo we should be respectful of our “homes” and try not to trash them with low value content.
agree about the differences between here and the alien. there’s civility and discourse here - a good amount of fun - a sense of newness yet familiar. ive engaged more here than i have in 4 years on reddit - thanks all to a great community and gracious hosts running these servers ❤️
agree with previous comments you can’t fix but if you’re determined to diy maybe get some outdoor tile and tile over them? must be non stick and you’d need the right mastic but might work (?)
