I brought my Mightiest Mark Chesnaught with an Assault Vest. It has the Bulletproof Ability. The times I’ve won is when everyone else has either a Chesnaught or a Goodra.

OutrageousUmpire,

Thank you for having the courage to share here.

Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy (fortune.com)

Mozilla Corp., which manages the open-source Firefox browser, announced today that Mitchell Baker is stepping down as CEO to focus on AI and internet safety as chair of the nonprofit foundation. Laura Chambers, a Mozilla board member and entrepreneur with experience at Airbnb, PayPal, and eBay, will step in as interim CEO to run...

OutrageousUmpire,

My thoughts exactly. They’ve been making bad decisions for years.

(That said, I happily use Firefox)

OutrageousUmpire,

It’s disturbing. Still, I’d recommend watching it if you haven’t yet.

OutrageousUmpire,

Fair enough. I do think AI will become a valuable tool for doctors, etc who do make those decisions

OutrageousUmpire,

Yep! Well there are two battles that are just unbeatable for me, so I decided to stop bashing my head against the wall for it and just moved on.

OutrageousUmpire,

Very cool! I love aprimons. I’ll look over some ones you don’t have yet and see what I’ve got.

I guess I should begin my time here with a classic: what's everyone's favorite Pokemon game(s)?

Mine is Pokemon HGSS (the amount of content is mindboggling), Pokemon Platinum (grandest Pokemon experience) and Pokemon Black 2/White 2 (most fun and unique playthrough). I’m also looking forward to buying Legends: Arceus on the Switch, have heard many great things about it!

OutrageousUmpire,

Black and White and Black and White 2 had the most “serious” feeling to me and I liked them quite a bit.

OutrageousUmpire,

Whether you have something to hide depends on those in power. The people in power now setting the rules won’t be the same in several years.

OutrageousUmpire,

Aw yep, that’s the other big problem, moderation.

Frasier: “She was real, I tell you!”

Are search engines indexing the fediverse?

I was wondering if the search engines are indexing the fediverse. Because recently Google search became so bad so I was always putting Reddit at the end to get some not so generic results and I haven’t even noticed to get any replies pointing to the fediverse ever. So I was wondering if search engines were actually indexing...

OutrageousUmpire,

Sure they are. But the amount of info in the fediverse right now is minuscule to say R*ddit. It will take time and growth before we start seeing fediverse stuff show up regularly in search.

learned more in few weeks than in few years in other social media

I have learned more in the few weeks about self hosting, rust, flutter and other things in lemmy, mastodon and fediverse than in the last few years in Reddit and other social media. Maybe learned more in hacker news. It’s awesome here and love the people here who are wonderful and knowledgeable and teach me patiently without...

OutrageousUmpire,

Yeah it’s been fun! I’ve set up self-hosting of several fediverse projects and have learned a lot.

OutrageousUmpire,

The “pay what you can” model from Piotr is pretty stunning. I’m glad the project qualifies for that.

The highest costs are servers. No surprise there.

Glad he has allocated money for legal and accounting advice.

I hope he can eventually raise enough money to pay himself.

OutrageousUmpire,

I did not think I was going to be bookmarking a post about picking watermelon today.

Martin “Didn’t stop you from being on radio, did it?”

Niles “Yes Frasier, perhaps your dalliance with the glamour of the airwaves sent the wrong message about a career in the sciences.”

Frasier paces around the room in distress

Frasier “I have not spent decades of my life fostering a love of knowledge in my son just so he can –“

OutrageousUmpire,

That’s where the protest is. The bare minimum.

Agree agree agree. Mod away, but let garbage, dupes, and low effort stuff gradually fill up the sub. See how the userbase reacts to neglectful moderation.

OutrageousUmpire,

Martin: "Daphne, would you mind getting that?"

Daphne: "Hold on, hold on. I've just about put London Bridge back together."

How is a company like Reddit “not profitable” yet?

Beyond spez (and the fact that he is a greedy little pig boy), I’m curious about the corporate dynamics that prevent a company like Reddit from being profitable. From an outside perspective, they make hundreds of millions per year via advertising, their product is a relatively simple (compared to industries that need a lot of...

OutrageousUmpire,

It makes no sense to me. And more, with Reddit openly stating this I don’t know why anyone would buy into the IPO.

eddie, to selfhosted

@selfhosted Stick with Mastadon account or move over to Lemmy instance?

I'm currently self hosting my own mastadon instance, and noticed I can use the same account to post to Lemmy as well using mentions and the fediverse.

Is anybody else using mastadon to post to their lemmy instances? Would it make more sense to host a lemmy instance instead if I intent to post to lemmy more often than mastadon? Let me know your thoughts.

OutrageousUmpire,

Setting up Lemmy is pretty straightforward, especially if you use the recommended ansible method. You could do a brief self-host and if it works for you keep it around.

OutrageousUmpire,

Yes and of course as per usual here is the needed comment saying RAID is not a backup.

OutrageousUmpire,

I’ve wondered the same. I know I’m not the only one with the 1.8 TB Reddit data dump. It would be cool to import all that into a Lemmy instance.

OutrageousUmpire,

Long time Nuggets fan. This run by Jokic is insane. and I think will get even better over the next few years.

OutrageousUmpire,

Hmmm, I'll try a real challenge for me:
