nah. over 100k sites ignored dependency risks, even after the original owners warned them this exact thing would happen.

the real story is 100k sites not being run appropriately.

  • doesnt use ActivityPub, so it federates on its own protocol...
  • is not fully decentralized, in that it requires 'routers' managed by big companies for some core features

i hope so. its part of the reason i run an instance. to give people a place to migrate to, but still be able to contact their peeps.

op link doesnt work unless youre on lemmy. my link is a more universal one that works on lemmy + 'bins

"Moderation tools are nonexistent on here. It also eats up storage like crazy [...] The software is downright frustrating to work with" - Can any other instance admins relate to this?

After a year online the free speech-focused instance 'Burggit' is shutting down. Among other motivations, the admins point to grievances with the Lemmy software as one of the main reasons for shutting down the instance. In a first post asking about migrating to Sharkey, one of the admins states:...

@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

well, kbin is somewhat defunct. mbin is under active development, and many of these things are on their radar. moderation tools are coming along, user list is not really an issue. they even got mfa workin!

these applications and the environments they are building are in their infancy. instance admins cannot expect a mature product, or that they wont need to get their fingers dirty to implement features they want. lemmy is at what, 0.19.4?

the image caching/filtering is good example of an ongoing concern 'verse-wide. as the lemmy devs pointed out, if this is a solid concern as an admin you would implement file scanning. if you absolutely want to use lemmy and need a user list, build it.

this shit is not turn-key

e. ive been running mbin at https://moist.catsweat.com almost a year

theres a current, common thing called something like buying/selling "on contract" that provides for a lot of the methods youve outlined

@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

so a rentee is forced to purchase and the renter is forced to sell?

no thanks.

Saudi Arabia recently introduced a female humanoid named Sara, who was programmed to avoid specific topics that align with their social values.

hahaha SA 'social values'. funny stuff. im surprised they let it speak at all

is this the 'jumped the shark' moment for companies? as soon as they go 'public' you can no longer assume their product is their priority.

really sounds like the stock market is just human greed distilled and removed from all direct responsibility.

i cant understand how anyone can defend it. it is a cancer

At a meeting Monday, the Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee voted 11-0 that donanemab is effective at slowing down Alzheimer’s in the disease’s early stages

this is how efficacy is determined? by committees voting?? seems weird

you are wrong. all their tests are on subjects missing teeth, not with reduced enamel. this is literally growing replacement teeth.

naw, what you do is write a small exe to play "youre the best" by joe espesito through the pcspeaker at 15% volume than you can trigger remotely..randomly until the user goes mad

"doesnt anyone else Hear that?!"

Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says ( arstechnica.com )

Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they...

oh look, a feature literally no one asked for or needs.

Who would win: every human in the world vs. every animal in the world?

I'm thinking the animals would easily defeat us, since trying to get all 8 billion+ humans to agree on a plan of attack would be a near-impossible task. By the time we'd be done trying to coordinate a plan, I figure the lions and cheetahs would have already devoured us, not to mention the larger animals like the elephants....

ha, one species defense/offense vs everything nature has in its current inventory for defense/offense?? and a biomass that makes us look like a rounding error?

on the other hand, were doin a dandy job killing the planet so maybe we will win a stupid prize

its very 'close encounters'. i like it better than i like the operating system.

posts are replicated to other systems via a broadcast-like subscription mechanism. each receiving system stores their own copies of content. as long as the remote system received the post and did not receive a 'delete' command, it would be available.

Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system?

I have been watching magnet fishing and people love to toss stuff over bridges without a second thought on the environmental impact. Hiding evidence I can almost understand but not lawnmowers, car batteries, etc....

people are inherently lazy. fines are only for poor people.

if you want to solve the problem, provide an easy method for the general public to correctly dispose of shit, and let them know about it.

the issue being that that kind of social awareness and general action costs money, and conservatives would rather watch the world burn than have their taxes raised.

i think a better way to look at it is; the chicken and the t-rex share a common ancestor

an animal existed that branched into 2 different paths, one towards birds and the other big ol lizard things (conjecture, am stupid)

we have an obscene amount of fossils sittin around in drawers collecting dust. i cant wait til we can feed all that crap into 3-d scanners, feed it into some detection LLM and vastly expand our knowledge at a rate we are not currently capable.

i read a lot of 'random scientist finds some random fossil in a drawer proving the opposite of some accepted fact'

@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

the tech is in its infancy. dont discount what its capable of based on its current iteration. science is a progression

ha, i never meant full-on GAI, singularity. i just meant a visual model good enough to classify what it sees in a very specific context. i never mentioned or meant to refer to 'ai'
