  • Yeah, I found out only after choosing that domain name... This TLD also gets penalized by the automatic e-mail spam detectors (like SpamAssassin). I wouldn't pick the ".xyz" TLD if I were picking today 😅

  • You are awesome! Thanks :D I hope you get to relax this weekend!!

  • Sure.

    If I make my own AI image generator and create a nice image with it, or use some AI engine that gives me full ownership of the output, I can choose to share it online with whatever license I want to share it with. I don't see why the regular copyright rules for digital images and photographs would not hold... If someone shares their AI creation online and wants others to share with attribution, or not share at all, what is wrong with that?

    I can take a ton of photos of objects with my phone, upload them to Flickr, and they are all copyrighted. That doesn't mean that other's can simply take similar photos if they wish to do so. The same with AI. One can decide whether to share with attribution, pay someone to let them use it, or to generate the image themselves using AI. It does not seem like a problem to me.

  • I can still see the spammer messages, look: https://lemmy.ca/post/10554277

    Where you acting as a mod or an admin? Perhaps mod actions do get federated. I am the mod in that community, but I took an admin action to fully ban the account and remove the content. Perhaps if I would have taken mod actions instead by deleting every comment manually it would have federated... I will test next time!

  • There is also another complexity involved in the authority chain of federated messages. For example, you created a post to /c/science@mander.xyz, and you are from lemmy.nz. The spammer is from lemmy.blahaj.zone.

    As the admin of mander.xyz, I am able to purge the user and all of its posts. However, even though the community is on my instance, I do not have the authority to rule over this content with respect to the other instances... So, even if I take an admin action it is not enough to stop the problem. The structure of authority is useful because it helps prevent abuse from admins, but it also means that we often need multiple different people to deal with the same issue.

    Also, since the community is in my instance, I still get all of the reports from the other instances that can still see the spam comments. I can't take any action, as the messages show up as already removed, but I still need to manually click on them one by one to consider them resolved.

    I am just trying to explain to you what it looks like from my perspective. It's not that I am complaining about how things work now. I understand that lemmy is still being developed and it needs to be polished, and as we experience these systems in practice we can come up with ways to improve the ways things work. I just want to share some of my perspective so that you can get an idea of why situations like this one might evolve the way they do. You really do need a combination of volunteers spread across different actions to take some coordinated action on a Sunday 😅 It is not optimal, but no one knows for sure what "optimal" looks like and how to get there.

  • Thank you for your hard work!!

    I appreciate that you going through this test period. I hope it all goes smoothly and that at least a few hairs remain on your heads by the end of this week. Good luck!

  • This is fine ._.

  • Oh, I had not noticed that page. I was hoping getting the NiDAQmx (https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-daq-mx.html#494543) driver installed would be enough. So this means that even if I succeed it might still not support it 😅

    I was quite naive when selecting this card. I knew nothing about PCIe and I figured it would be a very simple matter to read out the values...

    I just found some videos about writing PCIe drivers from scratch, but since I know nothing about PCIe I have no idea about the level of complexity that it would take to reverse-engineer. I suspect that it might be a very difficult thing to do, maybe even practically impossible.

  • Ah, actually, I responded thinking that you meant the /c/mycology community.

    I'm not the creator/mod of the uncle_ben's community, and the sidebar says "A community for the uncle ben’s mushroom growing technique.", so I am actually not sure. I think it would be fine.... Sorry!

  • All fungi are magical ;)

    The mycology community is more general in scope. Psychedelic mushrooms are not excluded, but there can be so much specialized discussion in that sub-category that is worth it having a more specialized community.

    There is also the first community !uncle_bens@lemmy.ml dedicated to growing, but it is not very active.

  • I wiped all my data from a supercomputer by trying to 'cd' into a folder but making a typo and then running rm -rvf * from my home directory.

    At least they kept backups... The system administrators were probably amused about who gets access

  • Nice to see he has had a graphics upgrade :p

  • I wouldn't use this language myself because I am not ready to defend that it is reasonable to apply the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in this context.

    I think that they might be referring to Article 1, and possibly 5.

    If this is their interpretation, then calling someone a worthless piece of trash is also a violation. You are talking to another human being as if they have less dignity, and you are treating them in a cruel and degrading manner.

  • For example I can go up to someone and insult them for all sorts of things - “you’re an ugly stupid worthless piece of trash” and that’s ok but I say “you’re a dirty [racial slur]” all of a sudden it’s different?

    If it makes you feel any better, telling someone "you’re an ugly stupid worthless piece of trash" would get you banned from my instance too, so it is not so different.

  • I would like to make a list at some point with several community integrations and ask my instance's users whether they would like some of them installed into the instance. This application will definitely go on that list! I do need to take into consideration how many resources each of the apps consume, to make sure I don't bloat my server. But this one seems quite light. Is it?

  • Thank you for making this open source!

  • Well then, it is settled (Mattingly, 2014).

  • They are all part of the global cabal of pedo academics who make up lies for the NWO

    Well, do you have any anecdotal evidence to substantiate this claim?

  • Revolutionary. This result needs to be spread far and wide.
