If you look at the top of the screen while Elliot was playing his mission, there are some new meters that have never been shown before. He’s on a much newer build than what is in PU.
Earlier, after review, we blocked and removed several communities that were providing assistance to access copyrighted/pirated material, which is currently not allowed per Rule #1 of our Code of Conduct. The communities that were removed due to this decision were:...
Complacency isn’t a legitimate defense against criminal activity and corporations are extremely litigious over piracy. Would you rather lemmy.world spend all their money on fighting lawsuits, or building a better instance?
Any community that is creating questionable content should create their own instance and not seek open federation with the entire fediverse. That kind of behavior is reckless and counterproductive to what we’re trying to do here.
Yeah this is sort of a rehash, but the prospect of building a base that’s more interesting looking than the current outposts is a pretty cool possibility.
What we have now is a huge step forward from before, but there are so many parts of medical gameplay that we haven’t even scratched the surface of. I hope CIG does it justice!
100 million isn’t that much when it comes to Meta. There’s over 2 billion “active” Instagram users that all were prompted to download the app. That means only 0.005% of Instagram accounts fell for it.
I have no doubt that at least that many people tried it out. When I went to the Android App store, Meta was paying for a front and center promotion of Threads.
I don’t really see a problem with this. Is it so much different from making a good 3D model?
We’re talking about assets that will be used for generating massive crowds. That’s already done with CGI. These scans aren’t even “AI”… they’re just like metahumans in Cryengine.
This guy just put the term AI on it because it freaks everyone out.
If you take the $200 for a motion and body scan and you sign your rights away, that’s what you get. This isn’t a change to how Hollywood already operations. Fear-mongering for nothing.
I’m one of those people that’s mostly waiting for SQ42 :D I really loved Freelancer and those style of space games. The PU is fun, but I’m really looking forward to a good storyline and to see how the acting from all these A-list stars turns out.
I saw some clips from the leaks last year that look amazing and my hype levels are way up again. I still have my hopes up that they’ll eventually show something new at Citizencon because the little we’ve seen is insane good!
Mastodon is perfect for this type of thing as well. They have full control over the instance. They can restrict sign-ups so that official accounts are easily verifiable. It’s a terrific idea.
This is the kind of thing that could help Mastodon really take off. The only reason most people still look at Twitter is for updates from official sources.
I think one of the major issues is how poorly we’re doing at directing people to individual instances.
Lemmy works fine if we have a bunch of good / stable instances created for a variety of different topics and users spread out. All the kinks and things do need to be worked out, but at the same time there needs to be a better way of load-balancing people to different instances. Either that or the entire backend needs to be re-written to allow better load-balancing. I can’t imagine lemmy.world can survive another major influx of users.
We’re just a small small portion of the reddit userbase. Lemmy will explode if there’s ever a mass migration.
Google made a huge mistake shutting down Google+. If they had built it out to integrate with Youtube, where people could have a space to Tweet, have a Main Page feed like Facebook, and post videos all in the same platform, they would have dominated the market.
I still have a hard time believing that no-one has created a platform that encompasses all of those things. Meta is doing it piece-meal but it’s all disorganized. It should be one unified platform.
That’s why I hope some developers start working on a way to integrate Lemmy and Mastodon and like… PeerTube together into a single frontend. I’d love to be able to manage my Mastodon posts and BS on Lemmy in the same website.
For all the newcomers that aren’t aware, I just stumbled upon this insane drama. Apparently lemmy.ml is the result of a reddit sub ban of a bunch of pro-china bots who vigorously defend the Chinese government, and the two top admins are also the top devs of the Lemmy source software. Pretty terrible stuff!...
It’s important to note that Lemmy.ml is defederated from lemmygrad. So while there may be some of the same people involved, the instance as a whole is run correctly.
I can’t really tell the truth behind all this drama, because there seems to be a pretty dedicated group of people trying to slander lemmy.ml, but I’ve never seen anything unreasonable out of them.
At this point, I honestly think it’s a hit-squad paid by Reddit to discredit Lemmy.
I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason....
It’s kinda funny because both sides have a skewed view of the other. I see apple users as less tech-savvy and generally more of the “general” population (see: normies).
This could be a very powerful tool if the right options are added. One of the things I’d like to see is the ability to set an upvote or comment threshold. If posts were popular, I would like to keep them. If, however, a post received very little upvotes and had little interaction, there’s not much value in keeping it. And I’m talking about all interactions here, not just from members of our own instances.
This doesn’t seem like a very hard thing to implement and would be well received.
Just thought I’d share this since it’s working for me at my home instance of federate.cc, even though it’s not documented in the Lemmy hosting guide....
I’m attempting this migration on an instance that has been running for about a month, is federated with the top 10+ instances and has synced a lot of data.
The steps I’m using are as follows:
stop docker: sudo docker stop domainname_pictrs_1
run docker-compose to open a session in the stopped container: sudo docker-compose run pictrs sh
run the cmdlet to migrate pictrs via git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/#filesystem-to-obje…
When this runs, it appers to be trying to sync like… all of the lemmy fediverse… to my object storage:
2023-08-13T17:55:45.188984Z WARN pict_rs: Checks complete, migrating store
2023-08-13T17:55:45.275403Z WARN pict_rs: 56963 hashes will be migrated
Most of these fail, and I’m trying to run it again with --skip-missing-files , but based on what I’m seeing I don’t know if this is really something that can be done once an instance has federated with a lot of other instances.
Am I missing something?
Edit: with --skip-missing-files its telling me that it’s going to take 23403 seconds (6.5 hours) to complete this migration.
When I look into the bucket, I see all kinds of random images being migrated over, so it’s definitely storing pretty much every image that my instance has ever synced. Is there a way to just migrate content that originated on my instance?
