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 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.

Wasn’t me. But downvotes are great when used appropriately. We want shit that isn’t worth reading to get filtered to the bottom. A joke that isn’t worth reading. Off topic shit that isn’t a relevant tangent. Spam. Uncalled for rudeness.

But that shouldn’t mean every opinion that disagrees with your own.

Maybe downvotes should be limited. I don’t know that there’s a good technical way to fix this issue.

I get that you do not have to upvote something you disagree with, but we shouldn’t downvote this guy for an honest, different opinion. That’s how you create a hive mind.

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?

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.

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

Didn’t everyone eventually get their money back?

Thinking about it more, something simpler makes more sense.

• Don’t trust the algorithms.
• Question your sources
• Understand the opposite point of view from their point of view.
• Don’t search for the conclusion you want

If you’re into talking to a flat earther, I’d recommend getting a little into flat earth stuff. You’ll understand it better if you’re looking at the same sources they are (valid or not). And, of course, vice versa. And you can then choose which one makes more sense, maybe even switching if the opposite side seems to make more sense than your own.

We know what the OP is attacking, and generally agree. Effectively saying that commoners can’t do their own research isn’t the way to get that done.

You need more practical advice than just “you can’t do it”. Something like the CRAAP test mentioned here is closer to the right approach.

Or his initial testimony was truthful, and he just didn’t want to see the guy executed.

You’ll hide them, maybe. The threats aren’t the big problem here.

Nah, a good manager would change your opinion. A good manager is a filter and barrier from corporate bullshit. They’ll enforce on you what clearly needs to be done, and they’ll handle menial paperwork shit on their own. It’s more efficient for the manager to fill out the same form five times for five people than it is for each person to fill out that form individually. For an individual, it might take half an hour each. For the manager doing it five times, it’ll take twenty minutes for the first one, and 5 minutes for each additional form.

A good manager will argue back until what whatever they want you to do with your timesheet makes sense before they have you do it. A good manager is a great asset and a huge benefit for everyone involved.

You’re not going to publicly humiliate any potential school shooters into not doing so. You might, forever, get innocent kids harassed and harmed.

Kids say things. They’re in the school 180 days a year and their companions are 25 11-year-olds who are likely to report them for it, legit or not.

Trying to target these kids with stochastic terrorism and bullying isn’t the solution. Though I know cops love to bully.
