What if we’re all AI?

They used to be “Don’t be evil” now they’re the most evil company, absolutely crazy.

I know this is generally the case with lawyers getting all the settlement money, but I think due to people not signing up I actually recently got a $200 cheque from the Yahoo data breach settlement in the mail lol

Aren’t they lying? Or maybe they stepped it back from the horrible reception they got lol. Or maybe it was all just a big calculated move to get people to log into Ubisoft again and possibly buy more games.

I did that too (swapping out a complex codebase with a simpler new modern one), then I got laid off along with another dev and we got replaced by friends of our boss lmao

Although I do admit it’s nice my new job that I’m starting next week pays me nearly 30% more than my old job did along with a better title to match the level I was performing at my old job lol

True, but we’re less than a year away from the next Ubuntu LTS which would have that fixed anyway I believe.

Exactly, they are literally trying to scare people. There is objectively a lower chance of getting your credit card stolen from pirating than getting your credit card stolen from purchasing content legally.

Yeah, I’ve heard of people using cron jobs to automatically clean activity older than 3 days.

I’m not sure what can be done about image staking up a lot of space, I imagine that’ll take up a ton of space after a while. Not sure how that could be cleaned up safely.

I wanna look into self-hosting my own Lemmy instance some time. Once I have more time to figure it out with my home network local server w/ public cloud VPS OpenVPN server setup (likely with Docker containers too) I’ll take a look into it. You’re right, it’ll likely be fun and right up my alley too.

I would also like the binaries.

Yep. I feel like all of the high-value like high-quality posters are now here or elsewhere and are done with reddit. I used to post a ton on reddit, even across multiple accounts. Now I just post here. lol

I have been using Linux on desktop full time since 2017 so this is really cool to see the populairty growth.

Actually, to be fair, they’re being paid salaries to work on Lemmy lol

Though the 0.18.0 update was quite nice and solved a lot of issues I had, so it’s definitely cool to see how well it’s progressing.

Oh, so that’s why I can’t land a job this year. lol

Depends on the programming language. In JavaScript, it literally means that like the key or variable does not actually exist. Whereas like in C/C++, writing random bytes to random memory addresses would result in “undefined behaviour” which means basically anything could happen.

Yep, pretty much same here. I cut it down to just Spotify and Crunchyroll, and now just Crunchyroll then torrenting/usenet if it’s not on Crunchyroll.

Still some improvements need to be made but it’s way more usable now than before 0.18.0.

Does Lemmy automatically grab all content from all federated servers, or does it only grab the content from communities you (and any other users on the instance) are subscribed to/are actively being visited?

I’m not so sure it does copy all content in the background.

My instance will be for me only, I will be the only person on it and it will be closed for registrations. I won’t be responsible for anyone else’s data on my instance, nothing for me to be concerned about.

By control, I mean I can back up my data and ensure my comments, subscribed communities, messages, etc are all available to me no matter what, I don’t have to rely on some external third-party managing it for me.
