Yeah but he’s just a temporarily inconvenienced billionaire, the rest of these welfare queens are out here collecting rent and sitting around all day. They don’t need the money like he does. As soon as he gets a job, he’ll hustle that first billion in no time.

His YouTube shorts (500/day goal) is videos of Elon musk saying things, with the background music alternating between the sigma male tune and the movie clip tune.

Did you see how ELON MUSK OWNED💯 DON LEMON by getting flustered at the question of “half your advertisers have left the platform, if X fails, isn’t that on you?” so he told Don he should choose his words carefully because the interview clock only had 5 minutes left? And then Don was OWNED because he rephrased the question?

LMAO. SUCK IT CNN. OWNED!

So programming is gonna go from a “search, understand basics, copy/paste, make changes” industry to a “I breathe compiler optimization, pay me money” industry?

Can’t say I’m that upset, it had to happen eventually. But this will only kick the brainpower down the road for the copy/pasters because they’ll have a lot more time to dig in and specialize.

That’s true. I’d only use a VPN service that’s been audited (either by a security company or, preferably, law enforcement) not to keep logs. There are only a small handful of those however. It really all depends on your needs. There are far more VPN services that do log and sell the data, and/or turn your host device into a proxy for other users/services.

Is that better or worse than giving advertisers the data point that you’re high-tech knowledgable and browse personal accounts from a server in a datacenter?

I think it’s being framed wrongly for the narrative by the guy posting the screenshot.

A friend sent me MRI brain scan results

Without more context I have to assume guy was still convinced of his brain tumor, knew a friend who knew and talked about Claude, had said friend run results through Claude and told guy who’s brain was scanned that Claude gave a positive result, and friend went to multiple doctors for a second, third, fourth opinion.

In America we have to advocate hard when there is an ongoing, still unsolved issue, and that includes using all tools at your disposal.

This only works if you don’t want the privacy enhancing aspect of advertisers not tying your activity to an IP address.

Beyond more safely using open Wi-Fi or bypassing a censoring ISP, there isn’t much reason there.

that’s ecstatic

Yes you can but for people that are looking to set one up today, not someone that’s been running one for 5 years and has basically a whitelisted reputation, it takes a lot to set it up and keep your domain and IP space reputation solid, along with DKIM/SPF/etc records, all the latest stuff like Google’s new mandatory unsubscribe header that will keep coming up. Even if a couple people on your hosting provider start spamming, if they’re in the same IP space as you, You’re going to be getting filtered more heavily for using a “bad neighbor” host. The big corporate/“nonprofit” guys like Spamhaus and Google and Microsoft are basically those controlling corporations for emails, what they say in their spec pretty much goes. They’re making it h em oarder for people to set up and run their own email servers, whether that is the outright intended effect for their mandatory changes or not.

Don’t get me started on trying to set up a business newsletter account on your new corporate mail server, holy hell, the warm-up itself is pulling hairs. There’s a reason companies like MailChimp, Zapier, et al make so much money.

Facebook was all those things in the beginning.

Reddit was all those things in the beginning.

Twitter was all those things in the beginning.

LinkedIn was all those things in the beginning.

The Internet in general was all those things in the beginning.

I’ve never used IG/TT but I assume they were all those things in the beginning.

Lemmy will probably be said to be most of those things in the beginning.

With age comes wisdom, which comes once you’ve seen the pattern happen enough times, which can only come with age.

Sincerely,

One of those old people.

They’re just smartphone apps as a way to interact with Lemmy, versus visiting it in a browser. If you mostly use Lemmy on desktop, search ‘lemmy frontend’ for other options.

Is docker virtualized or otherwise emulating something? It’s just a way to package things, like an installer? Then it’s bare metal.

I had to look this up too, I thought docker containers were virtualized.

That would make sense if the cause is some looping from hanging DNS lookups. Someone should (and likely has) notified the devs about this.

Not a single food, ever. Nor smells, besides the smell of burning DMT as I rode past a row of plants on my bike.

People always talk about how strongly scent and taste are linked to memory and I can never relate. Then again, I’ve never had a strong memory.

Works fine on Boost.

I tried Sync for a couple hours before I uninstalled.

What’s the most efficient design for an energy generation device that fits in an area smaller than 1 cubic mile, uses materials found on Earth or nearby planets/passing comets, and if it outputs particle, waves, or any combination thereof that destroy the atmosphere or DNA/life, contains the destroyers?

But if we’re dealing with a demon or a genie or aliens, we won’t like the answer. Fuckin’ tricksters.

My main takeaway from this article is that is that the British equivalent for energy is how many kettles you can boil. American football fields are jealous and feeling quite flat.

Nope, that’s about standard or even better than most, unless you’re doing it full-time.

Unless you’re making more than $16 each month (most are not making anywhere close to that) from Medium then you’re just choosing another company to profit off of you. It’s also more work and takes a lot (arguably, depending on your technical comfort level) more time because again… most people have nothing of much value to say. If you’re an expert on your field or a great marketer, sure maybe you can make that $16 back and then some. Most can not. You’ll know if you can, and you can look at your medium analytics and judge that and then do the Wix thing because…

Do you own the content that you publish on Medium?

Yes. Everything you publish on Medium, that is rightfully yours, belongs to you and you can republish, delete or choose to convert it into other forms without worrying about anything because Medium gives you the ownership. They have clearly explained this in the Medium terms of service.

Medium (company) might use your content to redistribute, translate or modify, and they need your permission for this. They need licensing for this because of the Medium rule; “You own your content”

Medium is like an ocean in part because it’s so easy and free. There are some really spectacular fish and animals and rare finds and even shipwrecks full of gold and treasure. There is also a metric shit-ton of mediocrity.

A comparison could be made to YouTube or tiktok. Sure, you can make videos and upload them to your website and then share them. But there is immense value in the existing community in algorithm.

You’re looking at it very black and white, as if you can’t live in a peaceful more remote area but still visit with friends and have them over, socialize at work, etc. After all, if you live in a city you don’t live with or talk to all the people you see, they’re just there, noise in the background.
