Sorry to be a debbie downer but I have grave concerns about the long term viability of firefox.
Sites obviously don’t test against ff anymore with more and more bugs appearing in more and more sites.
I have to daily drive both ungoogled-chromium and librewolf and sadly, the number of things I need to do in chromium is increasing week by week.
It’s not a conspiracy. It’s been a very well published and discussed process.
There are exceptions but browsers are either reconfigurations of firefox, like librewolf, or reconfigurations of google chrome, like vivaldi.
Some dweeb will be along in a moment to tell us all how vivaldi is not merely a reconfiguration, but the point is …
google changed the manner in which plugins can interact with the web page you see. In recent months you could re-enable the old plugin interface by recompiling with a different configuration, but once google makes a change that breaks that old interface then you can’t just re-enable it.
Even though most users don’t self host, the ability to still gives users more agency even if they choose not to.
Its a bit like using open source software even if you can’t understand the source code. The open source influences the behavior of the admins. That’s exactly what’s going on here really.
This drama wouldn’t exist on a closed source platform because we probably wouldn’t know about it.
The fediverse seems to have a real penchant for petty drama.
I’m not saying that’s what this is, just that when there’s a spat it tends to draw everyone in.
I’m not sure I really understand you.
One of the foundational concepts of opensource software, self hosting, and federated software, is that users have more equity and agency than they would if they were users or “consumers” on a corporate platform.
If you don’t want to support the behavior of a developer, you don’t have to.
That said, I’m aware that my instance is running piefed, which is at the centre of this drama.
Firstly, of course we need to be taking immediate action on climate change.
Secondly, i m aware of the trajectory in that sea ice is reducing each year.
That said, my guess is that this is a blip. Ok it might be a sudden tipping point but I think it’s more likely that it’s a problem with the data.
This type of hallucination is a problem, but is not my biggest concern.
I just want to converse with a human who is listening to me. It’s a bonus if that person has some familiarity with me but it’s not essential.
I certainly do not want an LLM inferring what might be wrong with me.
I feel like this shouldn’t be too much to ask, but it’s becoming that way.
Do you think you could maybe mention her name so we all know who this … thing is?
They’ll get right on to this in a decade or so. I mean the wheels of justice turn slowly, and we wouldn’t want to undermine a sitting president or anything.
She’s been fine with him shitting on everyone else all this time, but obviously thought she was special.
Classic republican.
it’s fine, I’m not saying “don’t tell reddit users about lemmy”.
I’m just saying, if we want the fediverse to be better, we should focus on making the fediverse better, not trying to acquire more users.
Oh to be young and naive.
Revenue model. If they have enterprise & community, then how good are the docs for community.
Cryopreservation refers to things which will be reanimated when thawed. That’s no more plausible than a star trek transporter.
Why do you hate cryopreservation?
You know cryo isn’t a thing right?
As in: I hate martians.
Sorry, that’s just nonsense.
Obviously, bus stops are located according to direct observations like the number of passengers at existing bus stops, and the residential addresses of card holders and so on.
Religious faculties are not constructed or approved according to a quota, but by application. If a religious group applies to a local council to have a building approved for that use, then provided they comply with local policy it will be approved. Councils do not create jedi knight training facilities because the census indicates they ought to do so.
Funding for schools is determined by, perhaps surprisingly, the number of students who are enrolled at that school. I would challenge you to show me some evidence of funding that’s been provided to a school on the basis of a census, but we both know that’s an absurdity. Ridiculous.
The suggestion that pennies will rain down from heaven once the government is aware of my existence just doesn’t withstand a moment’s critical thinking. The notion is merely to motivate you to provide your information in the mistaken belief that you’re serving the greater good.
Instead of trying to get the most users to the fediverse, focus on making the fediverse the best it can be. More users is not more better.
There’s this specific issue, which is critically important, but also just content management generally.
I think micro instances are a real target for people with nefarious intentions - whether it’s porn, trolling, spamming, fascist groups, whatever.
The hardware and software aspects should be relatively straight forward. The real difficulty will be monitoring new communities, and users.
I’m kind of curious what decisions you think the government will actually make relying on my census response.
Firstly, the data is normalised to account for erroneous responses like mine. That’s basic statistical analysis.
Secondly, anyone who thinks pennies are going to rain down from heaven now the government knows someone lives in your house does not understand politics nor budgets.
Pretty much this… although I usually have at least a few moments of paranoia thinking about what I might be about to lose.
