I was a free speech absolutist until I went to Ruqqus, another Reddit alternative. I learned pretty quickly that people don’t care about truth, and will just spread hate unchecked.

So yup.

LinkedIn just deleted her profile, I was following her yesterday: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibtihalaboussad

On average, around 3.5 new videos were uploaded to the platform every hour, many of which were previously unknown to law enforcement.

Absolutely sick and vile. I hope they honey potted the site and that the arrests keep coming.

Are you sure the donation beg isn’t customizable? I don’t see it on Lemmy.ml

Chromium is much more secure than Firefox, so your privacy depends on your threat model here: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

I’ve previously worked in anti-scraping. There is a negative 0% chance the Lemmy devs have the resources to effectively do this without tanking the server for everyone else.

1. From a code architecture perspective, how close is Lemmy/ActivityPub to reaching its maximum capacity for posts/comments per second? Are there any ways to 10x the load ActivityPub can handle?
2. With Nicole in everyone’s DMs, what does the future of spam filtering look like on Lemmy?

It’s a loaded question, if the transparency reports are enough they’ll likely cover whatever the law requires.

The real question is basically should companies report environmental impact for AI training; I’m on the fence for this. It sounds good on paper, but will it cause investment overseas and is it the most useful place to burden companies?

Idiots. They should have obtained it by offering to do KYC as a service for bank apps instead.

1. Game consoles don’t have a duopoly
2. You gotta start somewhere

No one outside of China has their data stored there, though.

1. There’s no way to tell if Apple transfers your data there
2. Apple does not clarify how they decide when to transfer your data there
3. You are putting a lot of faith into a system that shows no transparency

https://support.apple.com/en-us/111754

It’s already gone because it’s not disclosed when or why it is moved to servers where the Chinese govt can decrypt it, but I guess it depends on who you’re worried about having your data

Ignoring the fact they already did this in China? And by the way, you have no way of knowing when your data was uploaded to the Chinese servers

Better than dumping into ~/

I ran a large open source project, and when we switched to Gitlab the number of contributors dropped like a rock. Despite linking to our Gitlab repo everywhere, people weren’t finding it on Google or GitHub search, and those who did weren’t interested in creating a second account.

We went from probably getting a new contributor every month to maybe getting a couple a year. It significantly slowed down progress.

Would lose a lot of visibility. Gotta pick your battles
