Backups. You should be taking regular backups whether it’s you hosting or Google. If you are, there’s really very little risk.

You’ll also have the images on the phone, which should remain long enough for the images automatically stored to get into backup storage. Personally, all my images upload from my phone automatically after I’m on WiFi for 10 minutes.

I know it’s going to be unpopular here, but I am generally against trans girls in girls sports. It’s a situation ripe for abuse.

However, nobody is abusing it right now. Going after a girl who has maintained her status since the second grade is clearly just malicious and vindictive. There is nothing to be gained from misgendering her other than cruelty for political points. Reprimanding her mother is ridiculous and cruel.

It’s also nearly impossible to allow anyone to join a school team as long as you don’t win.

If the games stayed local, I’d be okay with her playing on the team. Maybe she could play JV, but never make Varsity. (I don’t really know how high school sports work.)

I generally agree that she shouldn’t be taking opportunities set aside for girls on the state or competitive levels. If Michael Phelps clear advantages could be the result of specific medical intervention, I’d say the same there.

It’s reasonable to keep state level competitions set aside for girls. The hate and attacks that come with the people who often enforce that shit is not.

I’ve been running mine for a year or two and don’t really mess with it at all. I think I remember those breaking changes maybe 18 months ago? Was not difficult to update, and it’s been running smooth as butter since.

But… Immich does this just fine, and is pretty great at it.

I guess, according to you, it costs more to host files than it does to ship you a physical USB.

Maybe all these apps stores need to look into physical delivery in order to bring their costs down.

It’s one of the very few times I’d agree if someone labeled it left. You know, unlike CNN or NBC or any network station.

Billionaires are a subset where they’ve already self-selected for extreme greed. Hopefully Supreme Court justices would be closer to a normal population.

When all your planes come back with bullet holes at points A, B, and C, where should you add additional armor?

Most of the fix should be much simpler. Pay them each $600k, indexed to inflation.

That should make them pretty resistant to bribery. Your quality of life really doesn’t improve much past that $600k point, even if you’re maintaining two houses. (And the justices aren’t representatives. They don’t need a second house.)

But yes, their tax returns should be public as well.

Epic can only compete because they’ve few users and are willing to operate at a near loss

Bullshit. Epic’s loses are in paying for exclusives and giving away games while ruining their PR.

Steam could operate at 15% if they wanted to. But… why would they do that?

I wish more people on Reddit and Twitter would recognize that and use more discretion with who they’re creating a product for.

I’d recommend Signal for truly private messaging. I’ve heard things about Matrix, and the warning mentions Element.io, nether of which I’m personally familiar with.

Lemmy.world is a registered non-profit organization. https://fedihosting.foundation/about-us/

It’s easy enough to use the API to scrape the site and use all the posts and DMs for free. It’d be odd for OpenAI to pay for it.

Please do recognize that anything you post publicly IS public, whether that’s Facebook or here. The lack of an API isn’t going to stop places from scraping your data off of Facebook or Reddit either.

Your DMs here are explicitly public. That’s part of the federation between servers. If you want truly private DMs, there are options for that.

I suppose I should mention for full disclosure that I’m part of the (unpaid) staff here representing the Lemmy.World Community Team.

I haven’t paid for Lemmy yet. Well, other than volunteer time.

I guess if we want something where we’re not the product, we have to build it ourselves.

Especially on mobile.

Any time you see the word “Blockchain” substitute “distributed public database” instead. And then consider if the distributed part contributes in any way.

And if it did smell like weed near the MRI place, you know what I’d suspect? That’s a venn diagram with cancer patients in the middle.

You really want to crack down on cancer patients?

Its Ubuntu 24.04. When I started it, it took quite awhile and then said “there as a problem, please log out”.

Now that I’ve got it started (where I’m posting from now), it still refuses to arrange my monitors. And I have no idea what this 5th, 13.3" monitor is supposed to be.

It looks like my issues are related to this hardware. I guess that’s understandable. I thought this hardware would be transparent to the OS, and apparently it’s not.

If I hit apply here, it will fail and put them back in a line. I’ll also get around 4 fps and no cursor on the additional monitors.

I installed a fresh copy of, I believe, Debian. Wayland, for some reason, couldn’t handle 4 monitors, with one above the other three.

Not the issue I expected on a fresh install. Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Windows was copied straight into Linux. I want my (single) taskbar on a monitor that isn’t my primary.

I’m currently back to Windows. It was already going to be a rough transition, and missing the ideas I was looking for while also adding complications just hasn’t made it worth it.

Turns out you can’t just do everything you want with 45% to barely 50% of the seats. Especially when you’re the big tent party of everyone sane.

You think West Virginia was ever going to vote against coal? They did more than I would have expected.
