Spot on. I don’t care if Reddit continues to exist or fades away; my interaction with it stopped with third party apps.
And with Lemmy, I don’t feel any need to engage with Reddit using their mobile site/app.

To each their own, but Lemmy has been far more interesting, even in smaller communities.

One of the things I’ve enjoyed about lemmy; posts/comments feel far more engaging and don’t get drowned in thousands of comments that often don’t contribute much if anything.

That is the best part; such confident incompetence coming back to bite them in the ass.

You must live your whole life buying from only neighboring farms and individual creators, right?

I am curious which farm produced the smartphone and/or computer you’re using to browse this site?

Freedom units!

When a vulnerability at this level happens and a patch is created, visibility is exactly what you need.

It is the reason CVE sites exist and why so many organizations have their own (e.g. Atlassian, SalesForce/Tableau )

It is also why those CVE will be on the front page of sites like https://news.ycombinator.com to ensure folks are aware and taking precautions.

Organizations that do not report or highlight such critical vulnerabilities are only hurting their users.

Mandatory for the admin creating weak passwords or writing them on sticky notes.

If you go to your profile, there is a setting to turn it private; after that you should have an option on your posts to keep them private or public

I wish there was a simpler way to keep PixelFed private; I get that there is a lot of focus on the fediverse, but this can also serve as a private image/video sharing platform for close friends and family.

Being public by default creates a blocker for the average person joining it.

Sounds like you’re really missing the threads experience; why aren’t you there and posting 250 characters at a time?

It would not be that simple, considering they’d be running multiple instances and require more effort to aggregate, deduplicate, and stage that data - vs just having a single clean database for it

It does actually matter, because that is what is happening.

Head over to the gaming@beehaw.org link that you shared as an example and notice that the posts are 3+ days old and all the recent posts are from instances other than beehaw; this clearly shows that Lemmy.world has not been receiving any data from beehaw for some time already.

As for hurting Lemmy and driving people to threads, is a baseless argument; anyone wanting an experience that Threads offers is not coming to Lemmy; they would either already be there or would be coming from Twitter/Mastadon. Lemmy at its core is very far from what Threads/Twitter/Mastadon try to be.

So many folks on here are jumping on and claiming that decentralization is a one way or that people don’t know anything, but have failed to read the specifications themselves.

Servers SHOULD NOT deliver Block Activities to their object.

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/

ActivityPub defines the Block activity for client-to-server (C2S) use-cases, but not for server-to-server (S2S) – it recommends that servers SHOULD NOT deliver Block activities to their object.

So as I mentioned before, Lemmy.world should be blocking those servers at the instance level, preventing it from sharing any data to any identified Facebook instances.

Sure this doesn’t stop Facebook from spinning up other instances, but that will improve a lot more effort on their side and will quickly be identified and blocked by the communities, just like all their urls for ads, api, etc. have been for years.

Anyone can do anything; the point is handing it over automatically and neatly into a database and ready for use.

Because we, the users of Lemmy.world, do not want our data handed over to Facebook

Patent laws aside, having a printer big enough to print a vehicle or even parts of a vehicle to assemble would not be cheap.

Then you would have to go through the hoops of getting the vehicle certified as road safe to even drive it on public roads.

So having the machinery to print it, the resources to print it, the know how to assemble it, and the procedures to have it certified as road safe, would be enough of a barrier before folks would be concerned with patents.

I believe that is due to all the appeals processes and wait times, which are understandable given the track record of innocent folks being placed on death row.

But in cases like this, where it was just pure evil actions, it makes you wonder why we bother with incarceration.

Glad to see them having to serve 35 yrs before chance for parole; only thing better would’ve been to remove them from this plane of existence.

Taking the life of someone who spends their days teaching you something, simply because you did a shit job at learning and likely didn’t put any effort into it. These kind of people do not deserve the tax money it will take to keep them locked up behind bars.

Does codium handle updates for the extensions?

This is what training new folks looks like. Even something as simple as a browser; watching someone click into the address bar and hit enter just to refresh the page, hurts my soul.
