It’s similar in a lot of ways and this is still an echo chamber and the echo chamber we have here has a lot of overlap with reddit… but, while reddit mostly just leaned left… Lemmy… just leans anti-west. As mentioned, there’s a lot of overlap there, we’ve got a lot that is shared, but the parts where those two groups differ can cause some serious wtf moments if you’re used to the reddit community. As far as over policing, moderation logs are mostly public and there have been some controversies, but mostly people just stopped caring or left. If you stick around long enough, you will notice policies being applied unfairly if you’re on the ‘wrong’ side and it’s a lot easier to be in that category here.

All that to say, you’ll likely have some moments where you think… Maybe that old echo chamber wasn’t so bad.

With ancestry, yeah, that’s going to suck and it’s the bigger database, but with familysearch, you’ve got an API:

https://www.familysearch.org/developers/docs/api/resources

Not sure what your limits are.

The data is mostly already there and publicly maintained. Ancestry/familysearch/etc should get us something interesting at least, data is a little bit light outside the us but someone would just need to go through it.

Only when it helps to keep the poors in their place.

Reddit still trends liberal overall, but anti-police sentiment has been on a decline for awhile. To me, it feels like the anti-establishment crowd basically died out completely over the pandemic. Reddit also tends to trend anti-hamas and pro-israel, the newer users don’t really understand that you can be against both so if it hurts the one they don’t like, it has to be good.

Bit out of date, but it’s a framework to start with.

There’s very little to prevent them just pretending to be average users and very little preventing someone from just signing up a bunch of separate accounts to a bunch of separate instances.

No great automated way to tell whether someone is here legitimately.

mods could handle it more easily probably

I kind of feel like the opposite, for a lot of instances, ‘mods’ are just a few guys who check in sporadically whereas larger companies can mobilize full teams in times of crisis, it might take them a bit of time to spin things up, but there are existing processes to handle it.

I think spam might be what kills this.

I do kind of feel like this part of the experiment might just be coming to a close.

There’s no “if AI just keeps getting more insidious”, the barrier for entry is too small. AI is going to keep doing the things it’s already doing, just more efficiently, and it doesn’t matter that much how we feel about whether those things are good or bad. I feel like the things it is starting to ruin are probably just going to be ruined.

I know this is a really common comparison, but I feel like this is also kind of weird. I personally believe both should be legal with obvious constraints in the realm of drunk driving/etc. Basically, do what you want with your body as long as you aren’t risking undue harm on others.

Main point though, I don’t feel like it’s a sound argument to equate the legality of alcohol to the legality of marijuana. Making either illegal is shaky on their own merits and trying to put both in the same category makes both look unfavorable.

Not in production.

There’s not a lot of dev time to go around at kbin.

A refurbished tiny/mini/micro PC will use more power in terms of sheer numbers, but the cost is still so small on them that it’s really not worth considering for most.

Not many and none that I can think of with deep pockets (besides google). I think the corporate world has almost completely piled on Chrome.

Seconding the request to share your work.

That is an amazing idea you’ve come up with that I never considered, but now I need it.

I can back this up with experience.

I’m actively running two piholes for years now. About 2/3rds of my traffic does go to the primary and some seem to ‘lock on’ to using just one, but most devices will swap between the two at their leisure.

It is such a shame that you have to jump through extra hoops to get a .cat domain. They could make so much money.

This is actually super super tricky.

So, there’s an exemption for ‘Transformative’ art, and while this is obviously pretty shady, it feels like there’s a good chance this would qualify as transformative. Basically, you can’t copy an existing photograph you don’t own, but you can take an existing person and paint a new original picture of them.

We had a big lawsuit just last year where the Supreme Court clarified the line a bit. In that case, the art was found to be not Transformative, but they did a lot to explain why, and based on that, this would be super likely to fall on the side of ‘Legally Allowed’.

As someone who used to be a Java programmer, I can’t make any sense of that statement.
