mastodon can do default instances because they have the account migration process… i totally agree this is a great solution: get people in with sane defaults, and then let people move once they know how it works

there will be plenty of people that don’t move (or maybe that’s solvable too: analyse your toots and suggest a more niche instance after 2mo?) but i’m not sure that’s a huge problem if your “default instance” is more of a random choice from a list of sane defaults

it’s kinda vaguely similar though… a fediverse instance is moderated by the instance admins, just like a discord server (though discord has a level of admin above server mod/admin i’m not sure that distinction matters for the general user)

colour temperature is only changeable when you “mix” other colours in: usually you have cold white and warm white LEDs and you mix them to get whatever temp you want

for commercial, i doubt they’d double the LEDs so you could adjust them… the name of the game in commercial lighting is buy what you need, buy it cheap, and don’t pay for things you won’t use

i’d guess they could hyper optimise for “perceived difference” rather than data loss specifically… they do a pretty good job of generating something from nothing, so i’d say with enough data they’d probably generate a pretty reasonable facsimile of “standard” stuff

at the very least constant whip-lash from changes might see ISPs not being able to sign long-term contracts and businesses not being able to plan around availability of things like “fast lanes”, which might make them uncommon even if net neutrality keeps getting repealed

they probably wouldn’t even try and hide it: they’d literally just come out and say the electoral college helps keep the democrats out and they’d vote for it

nobody should do this… the west does, and that’s also shit… right now, this is the event that we’re talking about though and citing the west is just whataboutism

it’s hypocrisy for sure

but that doesn’t make it less bad

we shouldn’t stop striving for better just because the world is in unfair place… historically, things have gotten better and we can’t let doomerism slow us down

hope and work for a better world, but live in the current one

edit: i guess the yet wasn’t anything specific… just things get better, and some day maybe we will be able to right some wrongs, or maybe let bygones be bygones… who knows

it’s kinda exactly the same as someone on the street handing you a bit of paper with a rumour on it and you publishing it without checking that it’s correct

it’s unfair and undeserved but… well… tough shit - deal with it, move on… there’s nothing we can do right now to make it fair

the world order doesn’t bow to fair; the world order bows to strength, and there’s not a lot we can do to change that

… yet

we worry because the single thing that every world war has taught us is that you are never prepared for the horror of war

we worry because no matter what, people die: its irrelevant where they’re from… we worry because people are people whether they’re american, russian, french, german, north korean, chinese, indian, or canadian and a lot of those people will die in a world wor

we worry because world food supplies will be disrupted and some of our most vulnerable people will die

there are so many reasons to worry, and worry helps avert a war that should never happen

yeah australia is really good at coffee and starbucks came here thinking they were the shit and realised they were, in fact, the shit tier

… however, we do have pumpkin spiced latte in our few starbucks’ right now afaik

okay, so it seems as though disregarding android usage of LTS seems reasonable because whilst it shouldn’t be this way, nothing will actually change

which is kinda the point of LTS right? or does LTS for kernel mean additional things?

and you don’t need lemmy/kbin either, but yknow we like it

what’s your point?

we have plenty of solutions to this though… we have quantum-safe encryption

afaik how these work is that currently cracking encryption is CPU-bound (takes a lot of CPU resources to find the key) which quantum can do much faster… there are classes of encryption that are RAM-bound though, which mean that quantum still can’t crack them because it doesn’t give us huge amounts of storage

yup! you can only post 2:20 vids so often you link out to a longer vid anyway, but it’s good to just scroll through a few vids… new stuff all the time

you can post to pornhub/OF/JFF but a bunch of my friends post too and it’s much better to be able to have a reasonable social platform attached to it for RT and replies

twitter is for the discovery and social side

legitimately: i make and consume gay porn and it’s easily the best place to post for my exhibitionism fetish, despite all the bullshit which hasn’t effected that niche use-case all that much

okay but all that “technically possible but nobody has written the software yet” is incredibly unhelpful

it’s technically possible to run every windows app perfectly in WINE but nobody has implemented a bunch of the APIs without bugs yet
