OOTL, what does this mean? I’ve seen it referenced a couple times.

(I don’t want to come across like I’m nitpicking because no, to be clear I’m genuinely interested in this.)

That many communities are hostile to the devs shouldn’t be surprising, because unfortunately the lemmy devs are openly bigoted and most communities don’t like that. And that’s ignoring how Des is also a genocide denier and dismisses the human rights abuses of china while championing authoritarians (ex: their profile banner is currently an image of Mao), things many communities explicitly do not allow.

Without knowing which user you’re referring to I can’t speak to the scope of what they’re doing, but a single user isn’t exactly evidence of hate groups or hate communities specifically set up to target the lemmy devs. That’s just reprehensible people being criticized, and then one potentially freak user taking it beyond what is reasonable.

I’m not entirely sure what that means.

It’s more that you phrased it “believed to be the real origin” which presents it like it’s somehow questionable - this was 1986, people who developed ARPANET are just recently retiring, this isn’t a lost or secret history. Also you say you’re not going to do something that sounds conspiracy-theory-y and then go on to do the thing you just said you wouldn’t do.

It’s a great game imho, but I was gifted my copy - in no world is any game worth €80, this one included, it’s completely divorced from reality to charge that much. Fucking tragic the publisher just killed it on delivery.

Theee are hate comms for the lemmy devs? I’ve failed run across them, huh.

It’s a testament to (if nothing else) the ability of the piefed devs to behave like adults that I know nothing about them personally. Nu/Des are horrible people, both politically and interpersonally, but that’s the beauty of FOSS: Those of us comfortable with separating the software from the creators get to stick with the software we prefer over one that lacks features or broad support (i.e. all the piefed apps I’ve tried have been pretty rough). Same energy as why people still use windows instead of linux.

A lot of people hesitate to promote lemmy because of how transphobic / authoritarian the lead devs are. It’s unfortunate, but if you’re concerned about that then piefed really is the more attractive option (I like my comment history too much to have switched yet but… man, it’s getting hard to justify not having done it.)

You didn’t get bombarded with details about what a corrupt fuckwit Eric Adams was? It was constant news in my slice of the world.

Right now the moderation tools available appear to be on the level of “thog bang rock on other rock - make smaller rock, easy to eat” and efforts are primarily aimed at introducing Thog to the concept of fire so he can at least cook his rocks.

The few automoderators I’ve seen attempted have been “ban you over a couple downvotes” bad, so AI content moderation seems like it may be a bit ambitious right now. It’s a good idea, but more work needs to be done before we’re at the point it’s feasible to start working on it. Like teaching Thog the concept of nuance, and getting him to stop trying to eat the keyboard.

I can’t imagine the effort that moderating a project like that would require, I suspect that the ongoing efforts to address fediverse moderation will need to progress a great deal more before a project like that becomes viable (unfortunately)

He didn’t.

The email at the center of the viral post was not written by Bill Gates. It was written by Jeffrey Epstein — to himself.

Both the “From” and “To” fields list Epstein’s personal Gmail address. The message appears to be a draft, written during a period when Epstein’s relationship with Gates had deteriorated. In it, Epstein alleges that Gates asked him to delete messages related to an STD. But the document does not show Gates making that request, nor does it provide independent confirmation that any of the claims are true.

How often do you check the summaries? Real question, I’ve used similar tools and the accuracy to what it’s citing has been hilariously bad. Be cool if there was a tool out there that was bucking the trend.

This isn’t her trying to excuse or justify her actions because she senses some looming consequence, this is her reiterating her loyalty to trump and the cause in the face of outside criticism.

edit: Also maybe push Miller under the bus, the reporting on this is kinda weird. Axios says there’s calls for her resignation, MSN says there’s calls for Miller to face censure… not actually sure what’s true with this one

edit 2: much better article that explains the situation from Atlanta Black Star

So is American media, it’s really not a subtle look:

Have you reached out to the artist to make sure they’re comfortable being potentially made a target by having their work spread like this?

It might be worth including a small section explaining the history of the song - I’ve never heard of it, and while I’m out protesting I’m not using my phone much (for obvious reasons)

Maybe something like “To the tune of ‘Bella Ciao’ an italian antifascist song written during WWII”?

Also maybe want to remove the copyright tag.

Yeah, we’re for sure done here.

And now it’s devolved to “what?”-posting. I think we’re done here.

Oh my gosh you actually went with “no u” again?
