Although it wasn't really specifically the point of the post, reading it's made me think that maybe the whole idea of "universally" federated social media (even excluding the spam etc) is fundamentally untenable regardless of the technical protocol, and that treating it as the end-goal might not be the play.

Yeah, I think it's not unreasonable to be restricted given the contents - just wanted to note the change

I can get behind the general idea, but in this implementation specifically it seems like the low modulation example isn't distinct enough from simply lower-quality audio, but the higher modulation example (where the effect is more distinct as an intentional effect), is just not nice to listen to. Maybe there are other ways to distort the voice that don't have as much of that downside?

Interesting, it wasn't age-restricted a few days ago!

We have a premade ant poison thing which I think is basically the same (I think the active ingredient listed was borax?). After neutralizing all known threat actors terrorizing the local food supply, these measures were deployed to safeguard the civilian population from future unprovoked attacks o7

My dudes the dishwasher is not edible leave it alone (they were mostly looking at the pantry cupboard, but a surprising number were chilling in the dishwasher)

~7PM go for a walk, enjoying the cool change
~9PM get some food, enjoying the c-OH NO THERE'S AN ANT INVASION IN THE KITCHEN

please send your highest quality thoughts and prayers

If a few servers are linked up and talk to each other using TCP/IP (?) but aren't connected to the wider network, that's not enough for it to be considered another internet (but it could be an intranet).

If a few instances are linked up and talk to each other using ActivityPub but aren't connected to the wider network, I think that's not enough for it to be considered another fediverse.

The linked listings seem to have already been taken down, RIP

Once in a blue moon, something that seemed impossible does become reality!

Sometimes (though I don't know what proportion) vitamins/minerals in products are actually "food-sourced". As far as I know, there is (sometimes) some legitimate reason to do so regarding bioavailability etc.

Ah sorry, I didn't realize the auto-headline didn't already do it, I was in a rush :(

I'll swap it for the alternative ABC headline that isn't click-optimized

No worries, easy mistake to make just based on naming. Hope you find an answer!

5. This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

The !support@lemmy.world suggestion isn't that helpful here because that's intended for .world only, but you could try !techsupport@lemmy.world, !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml (if you're federated), or maybe the lemmy GitHub?

I believe Australian governments should seriously consider 130km/h freeway speed limits on sections they deem safe to do so. (emphasis added)

Idk, doesn't seem as contentious to me as most of the comments here seemed to indicate.

I do some game modding, and sometimes have to hack together software to help with it, some of which ends up public.

One of my programs relied on the location of other, existing files and so would poke around at runtime to see where the user had launched it from, alerting the user if it was in a location where it wasn't supported. If that happened, an interactive message box pops up with the title "UNSUPPORTED LOCATION" and text that says, verbatim sans my [notes]:

"Running [this program] from [unsupported] folder is NOT SUPPORTED, and is likely to produce errors. Run [other program] instead.

If you want to run [this program] from here anyway, type "I understand".

You can't skip or just "OK" the message to dismiss it, otherwise the program just immediately begins a managed shutdown of itself to prevent any of the aforementioned potential errors from occurring. I STILL had a user message me saying how making them type in "I understand" was a weird thing to make them do in order to use the program. Thankfully I think they've been the only one so far so it's certainly not the norm, but the average computer user is also much less tech-savvy than someone downloading mods for a video game.

They are different, but to clarify, Linus Sebastian worked at NCIX (defunct computer parts / tech retailer), not NZXT (computer hardware manufacturer).

They say spaced repetition helps the brain remember things, so here you go:

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published

The feeling is that simply having it be public isn't an automatic license to re-use or "re-appropriate" the content outside of what's required for normal network functionality. From that perspective, federating a post to a normal Mastodon / fediverse server = OK, viewing that post in your browser = OK, but many other uses = not OK.

This subset of the userbase want the norm for "extracurricular uses" of people's posts to be opt-in only, even for public posts. I kind of envy the idea in some ways (aggressive requirement of consent), though in the world we currently live in, it does seem unrealistic without a team of lawyers behind it.
