What part of "toxic shitposters with toxic mods should be defederated" is "red scare"?

Until they have the native tools to let me, as a user, block the entire instance I'm with you. Until then defederation is the only way to make "All" even bearable.

Should I stop contributing, leave, and come back in a few months to see if those tools have been made? Because that's a much preferable alternative than wading through so much shitposting blocking one community or user at a time. And I still see the effect of their votes.

If this is going to drive away people who have been here what do you think it'll do to newcomers? Do you think people will really want to join somewhere where every top post is full of tankies?

Besides it's not like they're posting in good faith. They're not there for an honest conversation. They are ChapoTrapHouse and they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. They are 100% trolls.

Hexbear is making Lemmy unbearable for me. There's no function for a user to block everything from a server. I don't want to see their communities, their users, their posts, their messages, or their votes showing up.

I block communities as they come up, I block individuals as they post, but it's never ending.

Every popular post is over-run with tankies shitposting, grinding real conversation to a halt.

They're not people open to having a conversation in good faith. They're ChapoTrapHouse shitposters who got kicked off reddit for being pro-violence shitposters.

Their Moderation Policy is incompatible with ours, as they allow hate speech as long as it's directed towards the "right" people.

A first timer looking would see 90% tankie crap and would leave and not come back.

I've contributed less since they were joined simply because I don't want a herd of tankies yelling at me with nobody else even reading it.

Until such a time that I, as a user, can bock everything from a server I support defederation. Or at the very least put a giant poop emoji next to everything from that server so it's easier to skip. They seem to like poop.

PiHole with upstream dns-over-tls or dns-over-https.

Anybody who wants to can get around DNS blocks. Sure it'll stop Aunt Sally, but anyone who cares will get around it. It's a really dumb way of doing things.

lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml are gone? So sad.

Anyway.

Turns out lemmy users aren't representative of the greater public.

Of course the person using a shared password either left (saving Netflix money) or got their own subscription (giving Netflix money).

Netflix doesn't care that people who weren't paying stopped using their service.

Why do we need to have "one for kbin"? Just subscribe here. kbin is part of the fediverse, it's included here.

LOL, about half the points in the article are struck through now. Yet another "journalist" who doesn't understand how anything works getting angry how they way they imagine it works.

That's some quality reporting "stackdiary".

Works the same as M-b for me (backwards-word)

Make sure your /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc contains

# mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving

"\e[1;5C": forward-word

"\e[1;5D": backward-word

"\e[5C": forward-word

"\e[5D": backward-word

"\e\e[C": forward-word

"\e\e[D": backward-word`

Most of this stems from a misunderstand of how LLM work.

The original work is not stored anywhere. No copy of it has been made. Just tons and tons of statistics used to inform models.

Since there is no copy there is no violation of copyright. Again, no copy of the book is getting made. The content of the books is not stored "verbatim". The book is not copied. I don't know how many other ways to put this.

Summarizing a book also does not require one to have "read" it, contrary to the complaint. I never read "The DaVinci Code", but I can give a summary of it.

With assertions in the complaint being clearly false it's hard to take it seriously and it'll get chucked the first time a judge has to deal with it.

Maybe Silverman would have a point if it were standard practice to pay royalties to people you get inspiration from. But she doesn't pay everyone who wrote anything she read, said anything she heard, or other comedians who influenced her. So why should someone influenced by her pay?

If I read 100,000 books how do you determine "which one" I got inspiration from? Same situation here.

The hours unavailable:

The first one sounds like "scheduled maintenance" gone awry. Like for something that takes 5 minutes to run that you tell your boss will take an hour, who tells his boss it'll take two hours, boss then says "let's double that to be safe".

I wanna know WHY it is unavailable. Does the system crash if there's not enough paper in the dot-matrix printer? Are the HTTP responses being filled out manually in real time?

According to the Lyubchyks, one of these devices can generate a relatively modest 1.5 volts and 10 milliamps. However, 20,000 of them stacked into a washing machine-sized cube, they say, could generate 10 kilowatt hours of energy a day – roughly the consumption of an average UK household. Even more impressive: they plan to have a prototype ready for demonstration in 2024.

That'd be cool if it worked, even if it does it will be cost prohibitive for quite some time.
