Something I've been for a while now is why this gender disparity is so strong in this specific area of engineering compared to all other engineering areas. People seem to claim it's because of the "geek" stereotype, but that seems more like a symptom than a cause and I fail to see how it enforces this disparity, considering there's nothing preventing a woman from being a geek too.
I've never played it, but aren't League of Legends servers already authoritative? Also, I'm pretty sure it would only deal with certain kinds of cheats. An authoritative server won't be able to prevent a player from using an aimbot, for example, since nothing says that a player isn't allowed to have super accurate aim. The server can't tell if they are cheating or just insanely good. Nevermind I missed your sentence mentioning *-bots.
I wonder whether, even with an omnipotent anticheat software installed, cheating would still be possible by having the router manipulate your packets on the way to the server (ie. having all the *-bot work being done on that device). I imagine TLS could maybe thwart that attempt, since the router can't decrypt the packets, but I don't think it's really a problem since the client could also just provide it with the unencrypted packet and the server's public key, so that the router may fabricate the packets. On the other hand, anticheat software would be aware of that since the client has to send those extra packets, but how could it know that those packets are being sent for nefarious purposes and not just simply some other normal software doing it's thing?
I should note that there's also the option to simply save a post or comment (the star in the web interface). It can then be found under "Saved" on your user page.
I'm not a Nix user, but doesn't Nix make both pip and venv obsolete in a way? Nix is a package manager (which could be used to package anything including Python packages/modules) and also allows you to create environments that include only certain packages of certain versions.
That was unexpectedly quick. I thought we'd be waiting years before we could even begin talking about any kind of measures that could be taken in response to the crimes (assuming that it wouldn't be dismissed on the way).
I think they they reduced the content width in order to improve readability and it is possible to press a button to expand the content to use the full width of the available space. I just am a bit annoyed that the languages are hidden behind in a popup menu now, because a certain browser I have to use is unable to open that menu (but that's more of the browser's fault for not being fully conformant with the web standards (which to be honest I don't see having the degree of simplicity/complexity that allows someone to easily write a web engine that's fully conformant))
I normally say in the application text that it is a second account and for what purpose I'm going to use it. If it isn't fine, then you'll know it when the request is rejected.
The vending machines that I use return your money if the product doesn't fall down. This also allows you to get 2 for 1 by just pressing the same option again which likely will now drop the one that got stuck and the new one.
No, I'm not appealing to that. Fuck nazis. (I don't actually see how my comment could be interpreted as that since my comment was in response to users complaining about having their content removed from other instances or communities, which if anything would make them the free speechers (I'm not saying that they are))
Lemmy, in contrast to centralized platforms doesn't force you to be restricted to the rulings of a single group of people under threat of being barred from using the entire platform.
My point is, when you are talking on another instance, you are a guest there and it is completely expected for them to kick you out if you don't abide by their house rules or if they don't want you there anymore for whatever reason. While it doesn't mean they shouldn't be criticized for it, the impression I got from the comments on this post is that they think it is some kind attack to a basic human right to remove their comments from a foreign instance and that admins should allow all content your instance allows.
The same can be said about the reactions people from other instances display towards news of some instance defederating from the instance they are on.
I want to remind everyone in here that Lemmy is self-hosted and federated. If you want to make your post visible on their server or community, you have to abide by the rules they set even if they or their enforcement may seem arbitrary or stupid. It's their server/community you want to put your stuff on and they do not have a duty to accept it. Lemmy allows you to block those communities or instances or even to create or host your own.
I don't think a license will prevent language models from using your post. If anything, you are allowing people to use your post for more stuff it couldn't otherwise be used, since a license is you giving someone permission to use your work in a certain way, but if you don't give a license, copyright law assumes that you haven't given permission.
