BlueSky users: Guess I’ll just come back later

The end

Stop believing that it will convince people to switch to the less user friendly alternative. You want users on your service? You make it as easy to use as possible. No instances bullshit, one page to sign up and access it from a browser, multiple apps to access it using the same credentials.

The. Same. As. Centralized. Websites.

Make the experience the same as a centralized service, decentralize the backend as much as you want, users don’t give a fuck about that.

Except for backup purposes, why do you think I’m talking about everyone hosting everything? Hell, I hope you realize that the way Lemmy works now, instances are just copying other instances content and the issue you’re talking about is a reality that could be circumvented by the solution I’m proposing?

You realize that’s already how websites work, the content is spread over tens or hundreds of servers, they’re just all owned by the same company.

What I mean by “get rid of” is that server admins need to use tools to clean up illegal content from their servers. Lemmy admins are doing that, right now, if they don’t want to end up with CSAM on their server, even if they host an instance that doesn’t allow NSFW content. Without using tools to clean up their server, NSFW content will end up on it.

The only way what I’m saying doesn’t make sense is if you don’t understand what I’m talking about.

Look at Reddit before the API bullshit. Tons of apps all having access to the same content, the apps devs didn’t have control over what subreddit you had access to, they only have control over the UI used to access it and you could switch from one app to another, always using the same credentials because the frontend was independent from the backend.

Now imagine if the backend, the data storage (Reddit’s servers), were decentralized. People would just pool resources to store the content and would have control over what they decide to store on their servers but wouldn’t be able to influence the user experience because users would just be pulling content from all the servers.

So you could add 10TB of storage and not accept NSFW content, you would run filter tools to get rid of what might pass through the cracks (just like admins need to do now even on NSFW content free instances), but that would be it, your storage space would just be 10TB out of thousands of TB of database hosted on a ton of servers, open to the public.

Dumb backend, smart frontend. Users curate their experiences themselves (just like on Reddit) and are guaranteed to have access to all the federated content no matter which frontend they use because admins are taken out of the equation. Mods still exist, but they only have power over their communities, they are the people with the most power from a user perspective. There’s no more instances, just one huge decentralized database accessible via a bunch of websites and apps and users would choose the one which offers them the UI/UX they prefer.

And if you want to fuck with conspiracy wackos you add “So I would just refer to experts on the subject if I wanted to learn about it.”

Or we could simply not have admins by decentralizing the backend separately from the frontend.

There might be an issue with some contract clause about the company you work for owning anything you create while at work so if you’re working two jobs at once it can create quite a mess

My guess: For the first version of the scene they’ll have someone saying the other character’s lines the way they should be played so that dialogue looks natural. Once one version has been filmed it’s not hard to play that version’s audio while filming the second version so the actor is actually hearing himself play the other character.

Take the opportunity to acquire skills for the inevitable firing that’s coming later.

There was a story like that on Tales From Tech Support (buddy automated all his work while not making himself essential to support the automation) and when the guy got caught and had to find another job, it had been so long since he had actually worked that he had forgotten all about programming.

Wanna move and work remotely for your current company I guess? Why should we welcome you instead of someone who wants to come here to fill up a vacant position that we don’t have workforce for?

You can’t have your cake and eat it too just because you’re angry that the wrong guy got elected. There are people around the world getting bombed, they’re the people who need to get out of their country, not a tech bro that could just move to a State that reliably elected Democrats.

It’s from their pictures folder, which is backed up by one drive and might include a screenshot folder or something of the sort. OP just needs to choose what to backup instead of just letting it backup everything.

My condolences for your back

Got misophonia, the sound of dog licking triggers me

Gotta get a work horse!

I don’t want to live in the America where that isn’t normal.

Bad news! Vice squads are coming, no more fun for you!

Just to be clear, ads free cable TV was a thing on a very small minority of cable channels for less than 10 years (from 81 up until 87 if I recall the research I did on the subject correctly), the only reason people keep talking about it is because they didn’t live it. At first the vast majority of cable channels were just regular channels from regions too far away to get a signal for with antennas and cable only channels mostly had ads as well, there were something like four of them that didn’t.

Hell, in Canada we mostly have Mexican vegetables and fruits most of the year because people want to eat the same things year long instead of eating the way people did just 100 years ago…

Yeah, technically the person with the most votes wins but I was just saying that 50% + 1 voice guarantees a win.

Everything being voted on at once even if it means that the States have control over the federal elections, that’s weird as fuck to me… In Canada provinces handle their elections, cities handle their elections (although they might all have to hold them on the same day depending on provincial laws), the federal government handles its own elections.

Numbers starting coming out before all polling stations are closed is also stupid.

We can vote without ID in Canada, we need to swear that we are who we are.

51%? 50% + 1 vote!
