My hope is that a lot of younger Harris supporters haven’t been responding to polls since it just annoys them and the polling has been biased because it’s only older boomers responding.
Where do you get your updates from? Theoretically they could change the license for newer versions or switched to a paid model or any number of things. Your only choice would be a fork or nothing, the latter which would suck if there’s a security hole. As others have mentioned look what happen with OpenOffice
Cool cool, now realistically, do you have the time, resources and know how to find and contact every owner of every federated instance these comments have made to? Would you be able to deal with the legal resources of any number of jurisdictions to truly test whether that is actually enforceable?
My point basically is that it’s functionally impossible regardless of what the law says, and you should treat your comments and personal information as such that they won’t ever be able to be deleted or scrubbed.
Except that only applies to federated servers that exist in the EU. If your data gets federated out to a country outside of the EU, they don’t have to listen to your whines of GDPR as it’s not enforceable. And given that you could be federated with hundreds of instances across the world, good luck.
I said the same thing with AI scraping. All someone needs is to add their own instance that federates with everyone else and they can scrape data for AI training till their heart’s content.
wtf are you on about? The Winter Solstice is very much a verifiable fact (it’s actually the 21st so I was a day off) and marks the start of Winter in the northern hemisphere. Christmas is usually (I say usually so you can’t be pedantic about the minority outliers) celebrated on December 25th. That’s still only a few days after the solstice like I was saying.
This comic is talking about the Christmas season, creeping into Halloween and fall festivities, which is very much true in the northern hemisphere. I see your on an NZ instance which, yes the seasons are flipped there, but don’t go getting butt hurt if you can’t read context clues from the comic just because it doesn’t line up with you.
Here’s the issue I have. The Winter solstice (Dec 22nd) marks the start of Winter. Christmas is 3 days later, yet people expect it to be in the middle of winter, so people keep trying to move the season up. Realistically they should be trying to celebrate it in late January rather than pushing it back into Autumn. But they had to go and steal Yule and then keep wanting more time.
I’d lean towards option 3. I view this site as an aggregator and I see plenty of broken images when scrollling through here. It’s not your job to host or proxy those images and working in infrastructure it lends to a lot lighter weight instance that’s easier for you to manage without having to worry about disk, or even worse, bandwidth costs.
The only way I would see option 2 being more beneficial is if it was truly a temporary cache solution where the image gets pulled in 1 time, served out to all lemm.ee users for a period of time (say 24 hours). This would reduce the chance that you end up rate limited, while allowing users to still see the image served via lemm.ee
The proxy on every request solution just seems poorly implemented to me for the reasons you say.
Never understood that. Put the item directly against a part of the box that can still be damaged. I mean I understand it’s easier to toss in an item and cover it up rather than wrapping it but still. You want the item closer to the middle of the box
I think they’re already doing that.
