PS: works 😁

I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.

Because he used his money to turn a townsquare into truthsocial 2.0 and now is paying trolls to stoke division. He is not a good actor.

PS: just to be more explicit: there are amoral people who screw you over without even noticing it, that’s how the game was set up, ok. But that is not what Elon is doing. This guy went out of his fucking way and took a loss to ruin a platform for everyone. Think about that. Imagine going out of your way to hurt yourself so you can hurt others more. And this guy says he wants to manage a Mars colony and lead humanity into the future. Please, Jesus, no.

Knoppix in 2nd year at Uni. It made me more productive because there were few distractions from programming. So zen.

Great examples there, particularly firefox. The moral here is that there is no black-and-white or even a spectrum from community to corporate, but a set of incentive structures from the bottom to the top that are set up to maximize the likelihood that a product will reach its originally desired behaviour towards the community or the investors.

Meta: this post needs to be a community.

E.g. Wikipedia is community-driven because people contribute individually without a lot of coordination and without anybody telling contributors what to do, same for game mods. I guess by “corporate-driven” you mean there is a hierarchy and people whose job it is to do what management says e.g. Wikipedia foundation runs the infrastructure that hosts the community content and the same for most games. I’m not sure I’d call it “corporate driven” unless it has board members and investors demanding a profit such that they influence the decisions downstream, like reddit.

Well, that makes a lot of sense now :) thanks.

It’s a paid service where you can enter a premium link or torrent link to it and it will generate a direct download link. This is very useful if you visit premium sites like Mega and RapidGator where if you don’t have an account, it enforces limits such as:

Slow download speed (e.g. max 1MB per second while downloading)
Maximum number of downloads per hour (e.g. 1 file per 5 hours)
No resume support
Unable to download if file is larger than a certain amount (e.g. no more than 5GB per file allowed for non-premium users)

Is this topic-specific or are there other bots other than the one in UnderNet? I’ve never found on IRC a book that wasn’t in libgen

Don’t inspire fear or disgust, that’s the basics.

Major reason not to buy ebooks from amazon: you can’t lend, give, exchange, sell them and you may lose all of them if you anger the right people. They are not yours, you are not buying them, you merely paid for conditioned access to them.

But why do the current lemmy instances have to die if facebook decides to make ActivityPub+goldextra? We’ll just stay on our branch, maybe lose a few users who should know better. Facebook isn’t even making use of ActivityPub’s federation anyway, which is why we are here.

I’m actually afraid that they won’t defederate at some point but find some way to track the activities of the federated servers.

I’m justs enjoying what we have for a fleeting summer of joy, before zuck, gptbot floods and federation fracturing inevitably ruin everything again :/

Peak solarpunk 😭

Clumsy. Did they at least pick them up on the way out?

He’s going to make a big announcement…but given his history, it may actually have to do with some artifacts he wants to find down there :)
