Possibly not ideal for you as a data engineer, but you could try skimming down the GitHub database issues?

That's exactly what is happening now. Lemmy is a very young codebase and up until very recently only had a tiny user base, so optimisation wasn't that important.
Over the last few months the Devs have been working hard to improve things, but there is a lot of ground to cover

Op-ed: Why the great #TwitterMigration didn’t quite pan out
I think the issue the Twitter migration had was is very dependent on people with large followings moving, but they are obviously some of the least likely to move for the same reason.
It's far easier for reddit > fediverse because you just need people willing to post links and have discussions.

Happy with that. Norris in a well deserved 2nd. And 2 Brits on the podium.

It took him a month because he adapted a code base he had been working on for a decade.
It's not greediness to want to be able to pay your bills. This is his job. Also a single payment option has already been developed it's just not made in live yet.

YSK if you can't log in to lemmy.world delete your site cookies.
Just to add to this.
This is because the authentication tokens that your browser uses are stored in cookies, these match up with entries in the database.
As a way to mitigate the hack, admins deleted the entries in the database rendering the tokens in cookies useless.
This means that any tokens the hacker got access to are also useless.

Why do pigeons not go nuts when a cat is about (unllike most other birds)?
I can only assume it's because they are stupid...
The only live bird my cat has managed to bring home has been a pigeon, all other birds were dead and mostly chicks.
I came home to find the pigeon wondering around my living room and the cat outside.... Thanks cat...

Just press and hold any setting and it copies a link to itself, then paste that into a comment/post.

I have no insight into why it's being done in this instance, but object storage is typically used when you want to move away from storing things on your web server with "fixed" storage, and instead store it in an "infinitely" expandable storage system. It is also much easier to manage when you have multiple servers as it's separate and shared.

What phone do you have, and what'll it take for you to upgrade to Pixel 8?

It may be better than a 6, but it's terrible compared to a 5.

[OT] Formula E - Electric racing series
Reply in thread
The sound does take some getting used to, but I drive an EV so am some what acclimatised. I do like the fact you can hear the tyres though.
Personally the street circuits work for me, for formula e, as the close walls increase the drama. I don't enjoy them for formula 1 because they make over taking so hard, but that's not really an issue here.

One-time payment for ad-free is live in Beta 25. It's $19.99 USD. Update your app if you don't see it.

This caused major issues with Google before, so I don't think so.

Sadly not, it's mostly focused on comment ordering.

Can we have some clarification on what "Usage Data" the app collects and shares with advertisers?
Reply in thread
All the tracking code is in the ads library which isn't loaded after paying to remove ads.

This isn't the case, the apps have been switched over to free API keys with a limit of 100 requests per minute. This is why they all switched off at the same time. The app owners would have to generate new API keys to access the paid plan.
