Day 1 of not accessing reddit on my phone. I kept opening Sync out of habit. Uninstalled it and temporarily replaced the shortcut with Mastodon and I still kept on clicking on it.

Lemmy users are just showing their disapproval of the action. They have the right to do.

Would be great if they actually tried to understand the underlying issue instead of resorting to knee-jerk reactions.

Main argument nung sa writer's strike is that writers are not getting their rightful share of the profit. Moreso with the widespread plan to adopt AI to further reduce the perceived costs on hiring actual writers. Writers want AI out of the production. It's affecting you now, but it's going to make everything shitty in the next coming years if it's not opposed. That includes the need to hire ghost writers.

Nearly a month ago I requested for my reddit data and I just got the file today. A few notes:

• It has all my comments since 2011. But a large part of it is unavailable on the actual site if I take a look at my profile.
• Most of the data is comprised of my comments (around 15000+), posts (almost 200), upvoted/downvoted comments, upvoted/downvoted posts, etc.
• IPs used to access the site are logged for about the last 3 months or so.

Not yet. Pero supposedly they plan to support it. Might be interesting, but the concerns in the post you linked are valid. Heck, even the nature of Activity Pub could result to Meta gaining access to all of the content in the fediverse to feed their own AI initiatives.

Meron ka na starting part to build your own submersible.

I hardly used Twitter in the past years but I thought I'd give Mastodon a try. The recent Twitter issue has driven some of the Japanese userbase to Misskey but I can still somewhat access users there from Mastodon since it's also using the same ActivityPub used in Mastodon, Lemmy, and kbin etc.

And without. The update already provides the option to just Remove ads.

TL;DR: Accessing lemmy.world from a faster instance feels faster because you're probably not really accessing lemmy.world.

There's likely two contributing factors as to why lemmy.world has been acting up lately:

• It has the highest number of users to my knowledge.
• It recently upgraded to 0.18.1-rc which in turn has resulted to some performance issues.

From my experience, it seems like there's an issue with how the lemmy.world's frontend interacts with the backend. But it doesn't seem to affect users from other instance because as I've said, they're not really accessing lemmy.world.

To elaborate, there was a post weeks ago on how beehaw defederating with lemmy.world affects the lemmy.world users. Of particular interest is an explanation on how ActivityPub works.

The way federation works is that the community on beehaw.org is an organization of posts, and you’re subscribed to it despite your account being on lemmy.world. Now someone posts on that community (created on beehaw.org), on which server is that post hosted?

It’s hosted on both! It’s hosted on any instance that has a subscriber. It’s also hosted on lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, etc. Every instance that has a subscriber is going to have a copy of this post. That’s why if you host your own instance, you’ll often get a ton of text data just in your own server.

And the copies all stay in sync with each other using ActivityPub. So you’re reading the post that’s host on lemmy.world, and someone with an account on beehaw.org is reading the same post on beehaw.org, and the posts are kept in sync via ActivityPub. Whenever someone posts to that community or comments on a post, that data is shared to all the versions across the fediverse, and these versions are kept in sync. So up until 5 hours ago, they were the same post!

So if I'm understanding it right, if you're reading and commenting on this particular post, you're really interacting with a copy of it in your instance. Your instance and lemmy.world will then synchronize the data through the ActivityPub protocol to ensure users from both instances sees the same content. This is a backend-to-backend interaction and thus may not be completely affected with lemmy.world's issues.

I rarely see movies nowadays but judging from the impressions, the movie has far more to give that outweighs whatever perceived shortcomings over some silly drawn lines.

Better save up for the a/c and fans people. Hotter days lie ahead.

A not so fun fact: cities may experience the Urban Heat Island effect and one of the factors is the reliance on air conditioners.

I just read about how you can only make a Threads account if you have Instagram. And you can't delete it. You can only either deactivate your Threads profile or outright delete your Instagram account.

Afaik, Pia did an AMA years back.

Christopher Nolan wants Oppenheimer to be a cautionary tale for Silicon Valley.

i was hoping that the oppenheimer movie would inspire a generation of kids to be physicists but it really missed the mark on that.

let's get that movie made!

(i think the social network managed to do this for startup founders.)

It's unfortunate that lemmy.world continues to experience various issues in the past week. But the up side of it is that all the other instances could benefit from the fixes.

On a related note, I've been using Sync and old.reddit for so long now that I didn't realize how different new.reddit is from before they started implementing the new UI. It's using the same topics paradigm (ala hashtags) that makes the official app a mess to use. I've only used it for some mod actions that were not available at old.reddit.

It might not work since they're different platforms with different APIs. The only way an app might work on both platforms is if the app itself chooses to support both APIs.

That said, there's a level of interaction between the two since they both use ActivityPub. I.e. on Mastodon I can search for a particular Lemmy user and see their posts.

I only got Divinity Original Sin 2 and Titanfall 2. I also got a lot on my backlog but I've only spent hours on Civ VI for the past month after I repaired/upgraded my PC.

And for the right reasons. The only ones that could be negatively affected are the other support jobs related to Hollywood productions.
