flint5436,

Look at his post history. He doesn't want to shit for three days. Didn't elaborate. Fucking legend.

flint5436,

Aren't some dried fruit laxative? Ate a bag of dates once, and boy did I have to run to the shitter.

flint5436,

Those usernames are so unimaginative. Who would pick a name like that?

YSK about compression (lemmy.world)

YSK long noise videos cant effectively be compressed and as such take quite a lot of storage space and bandwidth. So if you want to keep the hosting costs of social media platforms low, for example when going public, you definetly wouldnt want disenfranchised users to upload them to your platform. This is the kind of noise you...

flint5436,

A fellow cs mayor I see, no I apreciate the thoroughness. You are right I was trying to put it in laymans terms and might have been a little to cursory.

I gotta disagree on the pseudo randomness tho. At least in linux /dev/random generates its entropy pool by using device drivers. So there is no simple algorithm behind it where you can copy a seed. So you would have to to copy the system state and all external events happening (eg. the ethernet network traffic) to generate the same output.

flint5436,

Oh sorry on Jerboa it does not show Community descriptions and I did not see the rules. But I am kind of curious tho, does it need do be worded like that? I wrote you should know this, if you want to keep the costs down, doesn't that count? :P

flint5436,

Oh yeah good point, I didn't think about server side compression. But I think noise videos might still be worse, since they provide no additional content for the platform.

flint5436,

Yeah I agree, tags like "gore/violence" and "sexually explicit" would be nice.

flint5436,

My favorite is probably hedonism bot. I just love the idea. I mean who build him? And why?

Did this site live and die in 4 days?

This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few...

flint5436,

Then be the racoon. Drive up the cost. Upload hour-long videos of white noise or pictures of John Oliver beeing sexy. I think I am going to create a couple of throwaway accounts just to show how unprofitable reddit can be ;)

flint5436,

Oh you meant literal raccoons, sorry my tired ass was still thinking of them metaphorically :D I don't know, beeing an animal and not having to work is cool and all, but I like my opposable thumbs.

flint5436,

Oh yeah, good idea! Before this strike I only heard of Mastodon. Didn't like it because it was so twitter-esque. I wasn't even aware that there are other federated networks which are similar to reddit... If all of my posts and comments said something like "user moved to lemmy.world" I'd spread the word that there are alternatives.
