Yep Lemmy uses SMTP and in my experience most self-hostable platforms do as well. You can see in the Lemmy config documents how it gets set up: join-lemmy.org/docs/…/configuration.html.
A new South Dakota policy to stop the use of gender pronouns by public university faculty and staff in official correspondence is also keeping Native American employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state with a long and violent history of conflict with tribes....
They are wholly devoted to “conserving” systems that are designed to benefit cis, white, straight, wealthy, men at the expense of everyone else. I’m not sure how that could be “good” no matter how they went about it.
One of the things that makes the warp drive idea so compelling is it does not have this issue. I’m not a physicist but I do like star trek. The idea is that inside the “bubble” is a normal inertial frame with no significant time dilation effects compared to where you left from. This is why in fiction you can travel faster than the speed of light within one without the need for “infinite” energy. Your mass never moves in space, you take your little bubble of space with you.
I can only really speak to reddit, but I think this applies to all of the user generated content websites. The original premise, that everyone agreed to, was the site provides a space and some tools and users provide content to fill it. As information gets added, it becomes a valuable resource for everyone. Ads and other revenue streams become a necessary evil in all this, but overall directly support the core use case.
Now that content is being packaged into large language models to be either put behind a paywall or packed into other non-freely available services. Since they no longer seem interested in supporting the model we all agreed on, I see no reason to continue adding value and since they provided tools to remove content I may as well use them.
However, if butter is left out at room temperature for several days, the flavor can turn rancid so it’s best to leave out whatever you can use within a day or two.
It’s clear that companies are currently unable to make chatbots like ChatGPT comply with EU law, when processing data about individuals.

If the world had opted out of the ICE early, maybe we wouldn’t be in quite the global warming situation we’re in.
LLMs are still a novelty product that can barely perform their novelty. Comparing them to the wildly useful and game changing ICE is not terribly accurate.
I see people I know in their 30s just figuring out that issues they’ve struggled with their whole lives are common, diagnosisable, treatable disorders. Some help, not just medication of course, early would have saved them a lot of struggle and grief. It’s hard to say we should discourage that.
Based on this closed issue, I don’t believe Lemmy natively keeps an edit history, the comment is overwritten. However, admins have full access to all data on the server database so they can (and do) keep backups and look over them at any time. You should consider everything you do on your instance available to your admin, including private messages.
Prozd Plays Games is a great let’s play style channel. He’s a voice actor and pretty funny.
NileRed is a chemistry madman who does very interesting experiments.
Technology Connections does deep dives into all sorts of household technologies: dishwashers, heat pumps, electric cars. He also dabbles in film photography, pinball machines, and other stuff I’m definitely forgetting.
Practical Engineering is a very high quality educational channel on civil engineering. Lately he’s even started going to work sites and filming projects as they go.
Folding ideas does very well researched video essays. His flat earth video a couple years ago really took off but basically everything he puts out is incredibly interesting.
Tom Stanton doesn’t upload much but he does model airplane and custom ebike content mostly.
Jenny Nicholson uploads once or twice a year now with theme park and weird media video essays.
Minimum 25 years actually in a prison +/- some minor adjustments for behavior and then he’ll be eligible to request release on parole. But if parole isn’t granted there’s no upper limit on how long he can continue to spend in prison.
Imagine walking in, seeing a price on the board, waiting behind someone with a big order, and by the time you get to the counter the price has increased. I forsee yelling and fights happening in lines.
But also Tim Cook’s total compensation for 2022 was $99 million and Satya Nadella’s 2023 was $48 million. Paying him more than CEOs of actually profitable companies and what amounts to nearly 1/4 of revenue is a pretty big outlier.

We made a tag that can’t be reliably and deterministically scanned so we also included a machine learning model that takes a good guess at it.
I just don’t see how you could possibly rely on a black box model for anything important. You have no way to mathematically prove if there are collisions in the model output or not, and newer versions of the model can’t be made backwards compatible. So if you have a database of thousands of these tags scanned, then they discover a critical vulnerability and provide a new model, you’re SOL and everything you have is worthless.
Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
[QUESTION] How do instances that use platforms such as Lemmy send verification, password reset, etc. e-mails? Do they use SMTP or some external service that provides an API?
