Huh, I never heard of ghost.org before. That’s a pretty cool project

I’ve heard they tend to harbor a lot of alt-right types. Possibly because users can’t really get banned. Is that true?

First click the link. Then manually type 12ft.io/ in the URL bar, before the https://

I’m honestly not sure how it works because it doesn’t work when you share the link, but if you type it manually it does. Works on all sorts of sites too, but some sites have already opted out. Honestly the Firefox reader view that the other guy posted is even easier and more useful, assuming you use Firefox.

Oh cool. I’m using Firefox and I didn’t even realize that. Good tip 👌

Wow, this is so dystopian. Late stage capitalism at its finest.

Btw if you can’t get past the pay wall, add “12ft.io/” in front of the URL and it should bypass.

That’s good to hear, I agree that Lemmy is wholesome. Ngl I braced myself for the worst when I read the post title though 😅

Master, forgive me, but I have to go all out just this once 🤺

I assumed it was speech-to-text. “Off and” = often

It’s definitely a good idea. I’m not sure how high it is in priority when we still need to work on basic federation mechanics, but eventually I think it makes a lot of sense.

And I am calling Amazon’s “just walk out” service also a con because it was touted as automatic, even if also being mostly human labour.

That’s not what a con is. A con is a deliberate scam. Amazon’s automated checkout simply didn’t function as effectively as intended. They presumably lost money on the venture because the automation was unreliable. Nothing about this situation was a deliberate attempt to pay over 1,000 employees to check an automated system’s work.

The Mechanical Turk is an interesting story and I’m glad you linked it, but it’s not all that similar.

Ok thanks for the info. Fingers crossed 🤞

I remember hearing that Lemmy’s NLnet funding was going to run out soon.

Does this mean the Lemmy devs could potentially reapply for additional funding, or is this only for “new projects”?

Same. The spirit of the pre-corporate internet lives on here, and I find it very comforting and cozy.

As far as I know, clock speed is still pretty nice to have, but chip development has shifted towards adding multiple cores because it basically became technologically impossible to continue increasing clock speeds.

Why does it say share more_vert and volume_up after most of your paragraphs?

Generally, it seems like you’re projecting events fairly far into the future without much certainty.

Gods are seen as higher beings that create lesser beings. But if we create a higher being than ourselves, does that make us gods? The higher being created would be even more god-like than us, the gods. So who is god then?

I think it’s an interesting hypothetical. However, the problem comes in defining higher and lower beings, which is subjective. Furthermore, there are fundamental qualitative differences between biological and artificial intelligences, so it may be a case of comparing apples to oranges.

Again, it’s all so hypothetical that it’s nearly impossible to make any meaningful argument.

What? Even if they wanted to, the devs can’t control who uses Lemmy. It’s FOSS

I’m grateful for all Lemmings, but at this particular moment, mostly you.

Even as we recognize that Lemmy is a collective effort where every user can play a part, there are some roles which are more important than others. You’ve been an excellent admin for your own users, but also a unifying force for the network as a whole, neutralizing and bridging the spaces between many other Lemmy servers.

This post is the clearest example of that to date, but your contributions have always exhibited a good sense of diplomatic tact along with strong internal values and principles.

Kudos to you @[email protected].

Thanks for the lead 👍

Damn, nice! I’ll let you know if an invite comes my way, sounds like you would get better use out of it than me

If anyone has invites to a decent tracker, hmu.

Just shamelessly begging, I haven’t been on a private tracker in over a decade but I should probably step up my game again with the way that streaming services are headed.

My previous experience was that I was completely incapable of maintaining a decent seed ratio on my home connection. I felt that many users were using seedboxes with really high upload speeds and hogging all the seeding. But I still felt it was quite a valuable community because, as people have already mentioned, the organization and quality of the torrents is infinitely better. So I basically used it sparingly for stuff that was hard to find. They also had a bunch of free-leech torrents that didn’t affect your ratio, which was a really nice feature. Honestly can’t remember the name of the site though.
