Thank you both for warning me against doing something like that.

Any way to read the article without the paywall?

They cite grsec, that guy is a notorious troll. I’ve seen customers apply their patches thoughtlessly, on bad advice, and bring down production systems. Linux security isn’t perfect (if it was I would be unemployed) but a lot of those problems are solved on properly configured modern systems.

Nah, the 25 has a stylus. The 24 didn’t. The 26 won’t either.

I do Linux research for a living and I barely give a shit.

Oh wow, didn’t realize they gave extra XP. I was doing fine without the bonuses so I never really bothered looking at them unless I was going for a specific boss.

The archive link to the AI article is hilarious. It’s neither chronological order nor canonical order. It’s not even a comprehensive list, a bunch of stuff is missing. It’s just bullet points of some star wars media vaguely ordered.

Can’t wait for search results to become even more poisoned by this useless garbage!

I used to self host email and got sick of my emails never getting through. Email is federated in theory, but pretty centralized in practice. Paying for Proton was definitely worth it.

I noticed this too, especially once you have your horse. I’d get stuck at the boundary between zones as if there was an invisible wall. Best guess is it’s just server lag and/or maintenance stuff that coincidentally lines up with when you’re later in the game and moving around the map more. I can’t imagine a technical reason why Act III would be choppier than Act I.

I’m not so sure. Anecdotally, lots of my friends stay up to date on news from various For You pages, or Instagram stories of orgs they follow. By being on this website you’re by definition someone who is active and selective about how they consume information, most people just consume what’s put in front of them.

Basically, it seems plausible to me. The headline is pretty trash though.

The actual data seems to suggest elder millennial, Gen X, and younger boomers do the best, while Gen z, younger millennial, and elder boomers do the worst. This kinda makes sense? The people that do the best have a frame of reference of traditional news media but also enough internet exposure to be familiar with the amount of bullshit out there. The people that do the worst have either limited familiarity with internet nonsense, or limited familiarity with traditional news media.

Yep. I want to federate and block who I want to federate and block. Large instance admins need to make compromises for practical reasons, but I don’t. My personal instance has no boards, so I don’t have to deal with problematic users from other instances either. If an instance is particularly awful, I can just not visit them until I have time to switch to my admin account and defederate it, there’s no urgency.

Plus, I thought it would be easier to get my friends to switch if they had an admin they could literally call if they ran into problems.

One character is explicitly underage and sexually assaulted in game. Another is the “she died young and is a ghost so she just LOOKS young but she’s actually way older” trope.

If an artist’s vision is sexualized children, maybe that artist needs an eye exam.

Knowledge is ordering a martini because you want gin. Wisdom is specifying a “gin martini” to the bartender.

Because we have surrendered so much control of our lives to these companies we can hardly envision an alternative.

There’s been a few posts on it, including one where the OP intentionally voted the post up with an army of bots to demonstrate the problem.

If you run an instance with closed registration you’ll probably receive a bunch of incredibly similar, clearly AI generated, applications from bot accounts. They seem to prefer existing instances over spinning up bot instances, to avoid defederation.

they haven’t solved it yet

Google hasn’t solved it yet either. You’ve probably all experienced the deluge of AI generated garbage with almost zero pertinent information clogging up search queries. And those aren’t even politically motivated. It’s getting harder and harder to even find actual information from actual humans.

Some of these stores are planning to have food trucks and other event stuff during the strike to raise money for SBWU. So if you’re near one, check it out!

I’ve been running a private instance for about a week and would like to know some of these too. My understanding is the banned users are users that other instances ban, and that information also federates to you. For the other two questions, afaik dumping the db is the only way to check users? And I’m not sure about the timeouts. I find it helps to periodically restart the lemmy service(s) on a cron.
