“I want a puppet”

Tech speeds things up. If you want to do good, it’ll help you do it faster. If you want to do evil, it’ll help you do it faster.

“Effectively kill piracy” - Sure guys, this time it’ll work.

Maybe the “no memory battery required” means its not a user replaceable battery? 0.24v seems very low, but I can’t find a 10n4 battery for specs?

Would be interesting to see if the Chinese and US communities eventually separate entirely, or if there will remain some significant cross over between them. The article implied significant cross over, but your experience so far seems less so?

I even dont think its Russian bots, just plain old capitalism and a general decline in journalistic integrity. Any article that hypes up XYZ, I assume is written by a marketing firm representing XYZ. :(

Definitely valid points, and I might be wrong. It definitely isnt a super glowing article, but “flocking to” part of the headline struck me as a bit hyperbolic, which is probably the root of my skepticism.

My conspiracy, if you want to call it that, is that I dont think article is the product of actual journalism. I think Xiaohongshu has paid for that article to be written, to give the impression that the influencers are moving to it, and its the next tiktok. One of the listed authors has never published anything else, and the site isnt exactly a mainstream news site.

I dont mean that your tone is bot like or anything, just that they would want authentic voices.

I do find it hard to beleive, because look at the reddit and twitter transitions. They either took years (bluesky is only barely starting to gain notability, and I’m not convinced that isn’t also doing astroturfing) or never happened (Lemmy userbase is a rounding error). Getting people to switch social media is very difficult. And tiktok isnt even banned yet.

Also, just because there are no ads, doesn’t mean that no one is propping up the business. Someone is paying to keep the servers running and lights on, and an astro turfing campaign isnt that expensive. Social media companies either grow or die.

So if your liking this new site, power to you, but I suggest you enjoy it while it lasts, because its going to have to become profitable somehow, and that is never good for the users.

With all due respect, this comment is exactly what a faked “Grass roots marketing campaign” would write. But your account has an extensive post history, so thats a lot more effort than a typical astro turf account.

Also, inflating subscriber numbers and view counts wouldn’t be out of the question either, remember Facebook video…

Yeah, this honestly sounds like a press release with made up “users”. Definitely part of a marketing campaign.

Dont let the artist fool you, she’s far more ugly and hateful in real life.

You can have an offline gitlab/forgejo and a public github. I do most of my work against a local gitlab, and mirror up to github for anything that needs to be shared.

I have a couple of projects mirrored down to my gitlab as a backup, and they are not online, so can’t realistically be DCMAd.

Redhat were very successful with the open source, but paid support model, so it could happen.

Inertia would be hard to overcome, anyone using sales force right now is probably not gonna want to risk a newcomer.

There are two reasons to avoid a union:

1. Fear of retaliation - Amazon et al.
2. Perceived lack of need.

If you are well looked after by your company and are treated fairly, there is no need to create a union.

Apple may be in this category?

You’ll definitely get lots of login attempts. I used to have a port 22 ssh, hundreds of attempts per day.

Would be interesting to see what post login behavior was.

Wanna bet they expose SSH on port 22 to the internet on their “critical” servers? 🤣

Sure, but the author makes it sounds like thats its their standard way of doing things, which is insane.

And if you do have a misconfiguration, the rational thing is to fix that, not dump the entire platform.

If the hypervisor or any of its components are exposed to the Internet

Lemme stop you right there, wtf are you doing exposing that to the internet…
