Just a heads up, I submitted this in World News and it got taken down because of “rule 3” even though it’s as you say. It also fairly early on got brigaded by “counterpropaganda” from hexbear, and the alts coming out of the woodworks, ignoring any other community content, just to defend King Jong-un and North Korea’s character was ridiculous. I guess lemmy.ml and lemmy.world have more in common than I thought. I got in contact with one of the mods and they confirmed it was wrongly removed and restored it, so it was definitely not a unanimous decision - I take my comment back.

Budae-jjigae is literally made from hot dog sausages, and the ban is tied to maintaining the cultural divide between North and South Korea. This news shouldn’t be making as much noise as it is, if it wasn’t because of weighted agendas seriously getting concerned. I’m sure you are probably getting a lot of spam to coerce you.

Good point, best to leave it like that 🙃

The problem is that the enterprise level cards can’t really perform at the consumer market level nor are they designed for it. Many don’t even have video outputs.

Linux is really getting a push nowadays, subscription and cloud services have been unexpected allies.

Just imagine how much money Microsoft must be investing in this mass surveillance program they are trying to sneak in under the guise of the AI in charge of its indexing.

If our governments are unable to punish this, they are already worthless.

Honestly, they’ve basically shitted on the intent of the GDPR last year when they started allowing sites to block users who did not choose to allow personalized ads as long as they had a “paid” alternative very few people are actually going to use. It was a perversion of what Google did, which was entirely different since they still allowed people to disable personalized ads and accept generic ads instead.

X/Twitter is a misinformation platform. If you know a major influencer that uses, consider informing and directing them to the ActivityPub alternatives, even advertising on their platforms if you can.

To some Americans, it is that the US isn’t the pinnacle of democracy but far from it. To others, that the EU isn’t better policy wise than the US, it just has far more competing interests which mean lobbyists have to hand out more than a lump sum of sucking up to people. To some Americans, that your health care system is really shit, to others, that their public health care is increasingly under attack in some EU countries by an industry pouching and locking down medicine through the profits their greed has allowed them to accumulate in countries like the US to such an extent that there are real tradeoffs now to the for-profit alternative.

Keep on spreading comments like this and you might actually be able to get gun control implemented in the US.

Because they were able to sneak in obfuscating mod names even though it’s easy as sh-t to get a moderator alt so you can’t even call out the one guy doing it and any blame on the whole moderation teams puts all of them on the defensive due to group psychology. Boy was the modlog and being transparent thrown out the window quickly, people go all ACAB on cops, but at least they all can still be uniquely identified by badge numbers. In Lemmy, not even that, so if ACAB, what does that make them? You at least used to be able to call out and track admins and mods who were clearly misbehaving, but that was too much accountability.

Like it or not, instance owners and moderators do perform maintenance, it’s just that they inevitable become an inner subcommunity within the community that can and does eventually abuse its authority. I don’t care as long as I have choice. For instances I do, allowing me to participate in the same threads regardless of which one I choose. When it involves the mod team, however, because of how much it is centralized to a mod team and how much it leeches from any competing subs, it’s not viable. We should be able to choose a moderator group for our communities the same way we are able to choose instances, as long as there’s ample choices the problem is addressed.

I think you missed a lot of my points. What’s fud, the monetization of your platform? Went to give it a look, that’s what a lot of those “recommended” topics are showing users are looking forward to on some of the clients. You explained something I wasn’t complaining about, but now that you have, that opens up so many attack vectors as well. People can try to copy popular communities to set up fake “grassroots” communities, and it sounds like they can copy and simulate user participation along with it.

And no, how a community identifies itself is not a minor inconvenience, it has literally fueled the domain name market, it is what people linked to, what people see in archives, and where people will go. The elephant in the room you are forgetting to mention is how the whole community will suddenly coordinate so well and won’t just split itself off into several.

Plebbit only hosts text. Images from google and other sites can be linked/embedded in posts. This fixes the issue of hosting any nefarious content.

Somewhere, a black hat master of ASCII art is cracking his hands.

It’s still misleading though, it takes away control from instance controllers, which in today’s world, also makes it so that it is easier to swamp it with bot accounts, misinformation, and even be an unwilling decentralization participant. Looking behind the curtains, it’s basically built by and around NFT (even the user avatars have to be NFT for no good reason), and already has a market for it, so don’t be surprised if there is a blockchain rugpull behind this. And it also doesn’t fix the inherent problem, rather, because of its design, it makes communities all the more authoritarian because whoever controls the NFT controls the moderation.

If you use it, you will no longer have the recourse of admins when its the moderators messing up and acting in bad faith. That problem isn’t due to instances, it’s due to the more generalized problem of people in position of authorities more interested in representing themselves than a community or their obligations, this does nothing to, say, provide for alternative moderation groups if you are unhappy with how the current one is moderating it. It does protect your account to some degree, but it also protect the accounts of the terrorists running around spreading hate speech, and you will feed a small part of it due to its decentralized nature.

Personally, the whole platform, https://plebbit.com/introduction , just seems a monetization strategy to monetize reddit-like communities into the NFT market. Expect the inevitable drama and subsequent crashes. But also, don’t expect it, it will depend wholly on the NFT holder, which means the community will go to sh-t if it gets lost or the administrative moderators of that community become out of reach, presumably because they sold it for millions to the nearest troll farm while they went off to the Bahamas. But hey, maybe it will pull the dumb and those just interested in monetization into their eco-system.

Although joking, I do tend to assume that people who say SSD refer to the traditional SATA SSD drives and not M.2.

I actually only installed M.2 a few years back when I went serious on my PC. I’m aware of the issues, although it’s still running good. I wonder how long it will last. I still have a few IDE drives, and some no longer can be read. Not because they’ve lost the data, but it just doesn’t spin up correctly. It will be interesting to see how it works out, at the moment I’m keeping an eye out on the health using CrystalDiskInfo. There’s certainly been cases of M.2 sticks with shitty firmware, but so far I seem to have avoided them. I’m also trying out a RAIDed M.2 mini NAS, it will be fun to see how that works out compared to the traditional NAS.

Core i9 - Well there’s your problem.

No NVMe M.2s? What a noob! HDDs in this day and age!?!? Would you like a floppy disk with that?

4 slots of RAM? What is this, children’s playtime hour? You are only supposed to have 2 slots of RAM installed for optimum overclocking.

Does the dude even 8K 300fps ray trace antialias his YouTube videos!?!? I bet he caps out his Chrome tabs below a thousand.

There’s one simple way to do it: stop milking it with ludicrous prices that make it inaccessible for the average consumer and stop trying to corner each implementation with your own proprietary closed market that becomes worthless when it goes down because all of your digital purchases were “digital subscription options”. The problem with VR is that it now has a place in the market but one that is basically limited to a luxury market, and as such it will only include self enclosed ecosystems of novelty implementations that appeal largely to whales. It is basically an example of the hellhole the PC landscape would have been if governments back then had been as lax with bad consumer practices as they are now.

I love getting my eyes bombarded with the occasional ionization electron beam fired from the electron gun that make it past the phosphorescent screen.

I do not envy some of the ocular conditions some of the old long-time programmers in the industry had, although this is from personal experience. All CRTs generate Xrays, even if later on regulation would attempt to minimize the amount generated. and using them should still mean keeping your distance. The effects it has on your eyes are not instant, specially if you don’t use them as part of your job.

A lot of the excessive warning from screens came from this era, where there was an actual risk. Unfortunately, there are planty of antivax-like CRT-radiation deniers, but fortunately, it’s no longer a problem.
