knoland,

My favorite version of this is when the novice has followed someone's dodgy advice to set pull.rebase = true, then they pull a shared branch that they're collaborating on, into which their coworker has just merged origin/main. Instant Sorcerer's Apprentice-scale chaos!

Why are you doing that? Don't do that.

knoland,

Will this fix copying from the url bar in kde?

knoland,

It’s $0.01 per install at that scale according to their pricing chart.

knoland,

Liquor licenses should not be granted to establishments without public transit during business hours.

The American idea of DRIVING TO THE BAR, many of which have parking lots, is completely an utterly unacceptable.

Selfhosting lemmy with no pictrs (sh.itjust.works)

Hi all. Due to the news of the illegal images being hosted on lemmy, I shut down my instance. I read some comments from people stating that they were able to selfhost lemmy without pictrs, they just can’t upload or cache photos. I think this is what I am interested in doing at this time....

knoland,

I don’t understand why lemmy caches photos in the first place? Like surely it’s quicker, easier, and lower bandwidth to just store a url to the original source.

knoland,

something nice

Are we talking about the same stack overflow?

You definitely do not want to generate TOTPs in your password manager. That makes it a single point of failure in the event of a breach.

knoland,

But there’s no algorithm that makes rep valuable here. Presumably on threads the more followers and engagement you have, the more your content will be pushed to peoples feeds.

Different carrots.

Judge rules White House pressured social networks to “suppress free speech” (arstechnica.com)

A federal judge yesterday ordered the Biden administration to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies, siding with Missouri and Louisiana in a lawsuit that alleges Biden and his administration violated the First Amendment by colluding with social networks "to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and...

knoland,

To say, as in to state as fact, yes.

To question, no.

There's a wide gap between "covid originated in a lab" and "covid could have originated in a lab".

knoland,

Why would I go on bad lemmy?

knoland,

You guys back up your server?

knoland, (edited )

An important point to make is that even if you make an account elsewhere, you can still access the content and communities here and on other Kbin/Lemmy instances.

knoland,

The lengths Americans will go to to not build trains is astounding.

They just have no idea what value the site brings to their actual users.

Essentially, pushing a Reddit as a recommendation engine for “organic brand evangelists” instead of organic community communication.

I’m gonna swing by their booth tomorrow and report back.

knoland,

I’m at Cannes Lions rn. There’s a ton of of the Reddit marketing team here overhearing their conversations with advertisers.

Lemme tell you, that place was doomed to start with.

knoland,

This is the solution. With enough small instances, not only do we provide a wide range of options to users, but we also distribute the hosting costs across the community.

knoland,

The real benefit as I see it for using rust for backends is memory safety.

In LitigousEmma's defense, kbin did not comply with the license terms of the open source software, so there is a valid concern here. Unlike most programming languages which are often released under licenses which do not requite attribution.

However, mistakes happen. The open source community is better off if we could all just start from 0 and escalate based on response.

knoland,

Cross-posting my comment:

This is one of my largest frustrations with the open source community. Everything is immediately assumed as malicious. There is no escalation, it's "you screwed me over" from the jump.

I suppose it's bred from decades of large corporations pilfering open source for profit. However, this post could easily have been, "I noticed there's some code I wrote that wasn't attributed, would you mind adding that?". Escalate from there if the appropriate actions aren't taken.

knoland,

I don't have any issue with opening an issue in the repo, that part seems reasonable. It, by definition, is an issue with the codebase.

knoland,

Why even go back? Kbin was kinda dead a week ago which sucked, but I have no loyalty to Reddit.
