Oh man this is fun. I remember we had another meme here, uuuh what was it "twice as wide en passant"? What ever happened to that?

This definitively was not in my 2024 Bingo card:

Republicans masking

IDK how easy it still is these days.

[packagemanagername] install xnest, tbh.

Hell, trolls could go around and recreate accounts on the top 100 instances with the same username users have on other instances to prevent them from reusing the same username elsewhere, just that is a weird concept to explain

Yes but that doesn't mean you should get automatic dibs on a name everywhere. It's just a name. If you are Joe Bill at lemm.ee, that does not give you any rights over the name Joe Bill all across the world. Statistically speaking, there's at least 18 thousand other Joe Bills around at this very moment.

Like, this is something that is already solved by the instance's moderators.

Well, what’s stopping someone else from adopting TomHanks@Lemm.ee?

There's over 1400 people solely in the US named Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks The Celebrity does not get patent rights or trademarks or copyrights on the name.

Wanna know which is the Tom Hanks The Celebrity? Check if their profile is authenticated against their personal website, à-la-Mastodon.

Considering the executors of the estate were not doing it, I'd say someone has to do it.

A toot is literally the sound of a birb. It's got more comfy than "tweet" does.

Yeah definitively sounds like even more support for Rust and/or Python in this sense.

True, but mindful: one data (well, one datum, to compare with one anecdote) does not statistics make.

Languages

C.

Frameworks

C.

That said, Python and Rust are great for setting up "starting up" / "small task" apps and growing up from there.

Sounds like a good idea in theory, but in practice would kill the entire usefulness of the subscribed view if people have to subscribe to entire magazines / communities / whatever only to vote on one particular stuff in them that is relevant to them.

Oh, and for the record, linux is ALSO a confusing hot mess for the average person. But until linux developers accept this,

I've heard the same kind of stuff about lots... lots of things that "will never catch on". Every one of those doomsayers were wrong. Some of them unfortunately, but still, they were all wrong.

God I wish someone went and finally fixed that. It's incredible that of all the FOSS and community stuff you can find on the internet, lemmy is the big one that can't even remotely be browsed via w3m / elinks / anything-without-Javascript.

If this later returns as ed.ch (more streamlined and lightweight, minimal featureset, perhaps not even the ability to store remote files so as to avoid the CSAM issues, etc) it'll be The Day.

This is cursed in a cool way, and viceversa.

(Me, I'm just using POSIX / regcomp; dunno if there's a handy C++ wrapper for it)

I would hav thought stuff like Lemmy would have configurations to eg.: not allow to upload images locally, only hotlink.

Anyway, an alternative is "zero knowledge" storage, where you don't know what you are storing (hence, you can't "choose" what to host or not host either). Another alternative is disjoint storage, where two different servers store different halves of a file (eg.: an Odd Bytes server and an Even Bytes server), but this means now it's necessary to hit more servers to recover a file.

But the sensible thing to do IMO is to apply "common carrier" concept. The water distribution company is not, to my knowledge, held liable when something happens like you fill a bucket of water and share it with someone else.

(shhhh no me recuerdes que soy viejo XD)

All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.

Wouldn't the second part require a trusted means to verify that a given profile actually sold you the promised thing, as well as some trusted means (two-party signing, maybe) to announce that a payment actually took place?

El pc no vuelve a prender. No tengo idea por qué si lo apagué por la buena.

XMPP is the way.

aeooooooooooo~

It's certainly and obviously not, but:

• YT is not anywhere near the "literal only possible way". Heck, air TV still exists!
• even tho it isn't, I don't see you nor anyone acting to that extent, instead you go on a self-defeatist-for-everyone attitude.

Does Youtube have a monopoly and network effect? Sure, absolutely, and someone's gotta correct that. But it's not a complete monopoly in the sense of "if you don't eat you die". If the main supermarket in the area doesn't like me because "boobs" or something, I can still go to a minimarket.

...Look, you really get tiresome. I'd ask if you are fine but honestly you are not my problem. If you need serotonin or something, get you seen; don't try to drain mine.

"Fedi"

Already more than 50% shorter.

In comparison, asterism symbol (and any proposal that further extends into Unicode's emoji area) still spends three, maybe four bytes.

What I'm hearing here is

Proposal to add current Fediverse symbol to Unicode

I mean , not with that attitude certainly. And dog that doesn't bark doesn't eat.

But if you want to be self-defeatist, you do you. I'd thought half the point you were even here, in a platform that is not GAFAM, was that you weren't.

and platforms who leverage network effect need to be held to different standards

Then do so. Come on. It's 2024.

Until something is seriously done, being able to at least go elsewhere has to be and is the rational option that is left.

Cyberpunk utopias: "become cyborg"

The dystopia that is late stage capitalism: "become plastic"

My solution for cases like this is sudo format c: /q && apt install linux.

If Lemmy were to integrate with Matrix the storage costs would explode exponentially, the two systems are notoriously heavy! (Lemmy is consistently the only service that fills more than 1 GB of storage in my browser and refuses to clean up).

XMPP is the true inheritor of IRC when it comes to standard, federated, self-hostable chat / messaging.

Unless they want it to be possible that people see their content.

That's what the airwaves are for.

But no, really, Youtube is neither that open nor that essential that the people not there are Somehow Invisible on the Internet. And even if that was somehow the case, you actually don't need to upload video, you can just use a normal youtube account to comment and link your content wherever relevant "conversations" lead there.

I apologize for not being able to find the button to Upvote Twice on lemmy. Once will have to suffice.

I yearn to find the lost knowledge of how to do those thingies!

Okay where is False?

There's like [checks notes] 2 more video platforms on the internet!

No reason these people can't post on those, or host their own.

Even nature is by nature left-biased, so if you lean left you are far less likely to get your facts wrong anyway.

I don't make the rules. It's other people who fail at life.

Yeah I mean it's basically a consequence that an upvote or a downvote can be for any number of reasons not shared from up- to down- or viceversa, and a simple voting system is ill-equipped to represent or contextualize that. Various solutions are viable, but my perspective is that if up+down-voting is here to stay, that part could be extended so that the act of voting could be this one bit more representative.

Another idea would be to just open it up and let people use any emoji to react.

Please no! XD We already have enough emoji as it is, not to mention they are comboable in non-portable ways or they change meaning according to the provider / renderer (GUN becoming WATER GUN is a good example).

But I do think there are valid "reaction sets" that could be interpreted with emoji, and pretty much all of them happen to match the examples you have provided:

Positive reaction / Upvote ; Negative reaction / Downvote.

Reaction of commiseration / offer of emotional support / "Hug" or w/e.

Reaction of joining in activity / offer of technical or factual support / "Let's do this".

Fun; Unfun

Reaction of surprise / "TIL" / "wow".

Factually correct ; Factually incorrect.

Reaction of "same", "this tbh", "mood" or other such neologisms

Ofc I prefer the reactions are biased towards promoting good interaction; I really don't see much use for reactions like "hostile / rude", "removed", "kys" or stuff like that. Downvote and, depending on the case, Factually Incorrect and Unfun deal with most of that.
