  • Admins of my instance are fine with people using their instance Fair enough, it appears they are completely happy for you to use up a small piece of there resources

    If you can't be bothered to spend 5 minutes to put up the magical "do not use my resources" message (origin: Same-site) in your site's headers, then I think people would believe that using up a portion of your bandwidth is fine and act accordingly.

  • If the server owner isn't fine with others hottlinking they can simply deny requests not related to there website(s). On that note, I hope you are donating to your instance, otherwise by your logic you are stealing there resources.

  • Its not free in the traditional sense, its just someone else pays for you. These projects work by being "free" with their biggest/most charitable users supporting it. Every major software project that runs the web, be it curl or python, works that way. You do not pay to use the service, you are instead paying to help delay the abandonment of the project and bring updates to improve your experience.

    If you don't particually want this project to succeed, then that's fine, though you should probably pay your instance a dollar to cover the bills incurred by your own use of there resources.

  • ... Can I have your reasoning? Just because they are communists doesn't mean they are foreign agents, all it means is that they are authoritarians. Besides,idue to lemmy's federated nature the governments would be better off infiltrating or straight up buying larger social media companies

  • ... What are you saying exactly? If enough people believe a word has a certain definition, then that word is given that definition, that's how language works. There is nothing stopping the word Frindle for example replacing the use of the word pen.

  • The harmful bit wasn't the instructions for counterfeit money, its the part where script kiddies use chatgpt to write malware or someone trys to get instructions to make VX nerve agent. The issue is the fact that the air can spit back anything in its dataset in a way that can lower the barrier to entry to committing crimes ( Hay chatgpt, how do I make a 3d printed [gun] and where do I get the stl).

    You'll notice they didn't censor the money instructions, but they did censor the possible malware.

  • CFCs

  • The question is, what will happen in 2038 when y2k happens again due to an integer overflow? People are already sounding the alarm but who knows if people will fix all of the systems before it hits.

  • Yes Stable Linux variants (also known as distros) are very widely used, and range from Linux mint which is completely stable with no issues for day to day use (assuming you don't use an Nvidia card) to Debian which which has a selling point of not changing anything beyond security updates for like 6 years straight

    Most people here will be talking about there bleeding edge systems which will use code that is often in beta or use systems so new they don't have proper documentation (the bcachefs file system which showed up last month comes to mind).
