The destiny of all species is to eventually become crab.

Why do you think humans have evolved to have less hair than our ancestors? Its the start of a long journey that will eventually being us back to CRABB.

I’m 99% sure that’s a picture of a blue bottle, not sure what a man o war is.

Edit: Well today I learned that what we call “bluebottles” in Aotearoa and Australia is called “Man of War” in the US.

As if Tesla stock is traded rationally…

Is it bad that I believed this until I got to Marcus

Me trying to hold both truths at once that Street view is an absolutely fantastic tool and that I hate google so damn much.

What is ios 26? I thought we were on ios18??

I think it starts with a “Ges” ends with a “po” and has a lil “ta” sandwiched in the middle.

“Maintaining Order” = Formenting Chaos by brutalising minority groups and leading to massive protests.

Fuck (space inefficient) monoculture

All my homies do permaculture

What about the Colossal Squid

Yup

Oh and they also squirt water at people sometimes! Some say it’s because they don’t like those people but I haven’t seen much suggesting that is true. It might actually be getting their feeder’s attention or just a sign of boredom.

They also can extremely clingy to their feeders in captivity. Like they will climb up on your arms with their tentacles and just hold it.

(For them it means they are “tasting” you because they taste with tentacles).

(This literally does happen everywhere)

Sounds like you’re going through a lot. Hope you can find somewhere to outlet your emotions.

But this is assuming private messages no?

When 99% of the public traffic is on posts that will federate to most servers, this model becomes irrelevant.

For Activitypub, a weakness is that the server has to host all the visible content to the server. So for example if lemmy got really big, and you wanted to host a tiny server but are subscribed to most lemmy comms, your server ends up hosting and fetching a copy of everything posted in these communities, which can add up to A LOT, in terms of network usage, and computational power. (For example see the debacle where an Australian sever (I think aussie.zone) struggled with this and was weeks behind fetching content from lemmy.world since so much content comes from that instance).

This probably would scale pretty terribly if it got anywhere near the size of reddit.

ATProto gives a scalable solution to this (but comes with tradeoffs). Where you can create your own “instance” PDS (Personal Data Server), without hosting all the posts federated to you, since this is hosted by a “relay” which does most of the heavy lifting computationally. So it ends up with a solution that looks more centralised (since there is less incentive to host relays, so fewer relays), but also much more friendly to people who wanna host their own “PDS” and therefore control their data. This is also very helpful with scalability and solves some of the weird federation quirks activitypub has (ie. you can’t see a lemmy community or mastodon account until someone on your instance subscribes or follows it).

What I don’t get is why lefty Canadians were so against Alberta leaving Canada.

Sounds like a plus to me…
