In addition to the UX of Mastodon/Lemmy, I also think the moderation or lack of it is a major issue. It would be nice if this got more attention, because it's even a weak point of places like reddit.

On the plus side, reddit does have some blanket site wide content moderation that targets some of the most egregious and illegal content. I think that's good, and I don't think "leaving it up to individual server admins to blacklist" is sufficient.

On the negative side, the way subreddits and mastodon instances are moderated is a huge problem. Being the first to create a community shouldn't necessarily give you 100% control over the content. That sort of thing can be an option, but to me reddit has made it clear that for major and large communities there needs to be some more democratically inspired form of governance.

Yes, this is a hugely difficult problem, but unless we want an endless cycle of new sites that become toxic or problematic once they grow to a certain size, it's a problem that needs a lot of attention.
You run into another problem here: those other psychedelics may also cause the same changes.
There is a lot of spam on reddit that mods choose not to address. Political subs with a few accounts whitelisted for thread submission, posting the same agitprop, dateless twitter screenshots talking about how shitty Corp X or Politician Y is. Comment bots that will have entire conversations with each other with meme banter, building upvotes.

Then there are the less malicious ones, like the quote bots on Lord of the Rings subs.

If this person was banned for having a template message about migrating to a different site, it shows a priority by reddit admins to eliminate message spreading about a competitor. It's trash.
Someone ought to be along with a PR eventually.

It depends on your definition of depression. For example I could be either depressed (there are some facts about my life that I've always been unhappy with, even if they don't necessarily distress me every day) or not depressed (I'm pretty happy and can't remember any real recent gripes) depending on how you define depression.

By the clinical definition, I don't have depression, because it doesn't impact my enjoyment of or participation in hobbies, and I also don't seem to have any persistent or recurring mood problems.
Not under the Clayton Antitrust Act, no.

If you want to make the case, you have to make the case that it’s within the FTC’s wheelhouse under the statutes it is authorized to enforce. It might be anticompetitive, but if it’s not anticompetitive in a way that’s also illegal, then it’s outside the FTC’s jurisdiction. They can try it anyway under some novel legal theory or reading of the statute, but without being able to make a good case they would just be wasting everyone’s time including their own.

I don't think anyone here is arguing that digital cash or a global ledger is bad they are arguing that the specific structures and incentives of crypto are bad.

Bring on the digital cash IMO but bearer instruments underpinning any large scale finance is a recipe for disaster.
People have lower HD size (think 64GB iPhone X/iPhone SE) on unreliable internet networks. Downloading five 200MB models to perform five layers of processing (OCR, rm background, object detection, etc.) would take hours and consume too much cellular data.

Sending a 10kb image to the cloud for processing is much faster and user friendly.

Chrome uses WUFFS to decode GIFs. It could also use WUFFS to decode JXL, if WUFFS supported JXL.
AFAIK, passkeys aren't really linked to a domain. It's old-school public-key verification, the server stores your public key and uses it to verify the signature of a challenge they send to your device on login. As long as the different domains/apps can share the public key you should be able to login.

The credentials are scoped to a relying party, which must be equal to the domain or registrable domain suffix:

If this wasn't the case and it was old-school public-key verification, it would still be vulnerable to phishing, since the phishing site could just forward the challenges.
>We just want reddit without the bullshit

as the overused quote goes, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

If you join a platform that's run by a large profit driven entity you're going to get squeezed sooner or later. Another relevant example, Twitch today passed some rather draconic rules on branding and ads run by users.

You can say you're okay with the bullshit, but "we just want reddit but without the bad stuff" doesn't work. The bad stuff is baked in. If you want genuine control you're going to have to do some work.
At the last hotel I stayed at, they tipped me.

I didn't bother to work out what the German meant, but the "eco-friendly" thing where you don't want them to change the towels every day took the form of a small, woven bag. I hung it on the door, and was pleased that housekeeping didn't come into the room at all -- I don't like my stuff being moved around.

When I left I noticed there were chocolate bars, fruit etc in the bag, one item for each day I'd stayed.
What about bitcoin makes it any harder to regulate than cash?
tangential, but that graveyard sort of reminds me why I left reddit. I understand that there are a lot of off topic comments, but surely there must be some better way to encourage proper moderation than having a mod delete 80% of the comments, remove the post (which in and of itself wasn't rulebreaking AFAIK), then lock the post. Then after all that have the mod speak from an ivory tower about how "Y'all can't behave". It just all feels a bit power-trippy in my eyes.
It's a bit different, though. I don't often need my iphone to last multiple days on end. Yet, if I keep it plugged in as often as I'm sitting at a desk, it'll never go below 80%. If I get it below 80%, sooner or later, it will figure "i want to use it" and will charge it all the way to 100%. The lowest my battery ever got on this phone was 40 something when I was away for a weekend without a charger. It's very rare I use it a lot, so the "intelligence" clearly doesn't care how long the battery needs to last.

The way it's implemented on my mom's android, it always shows 80 or 85% (can't recall which one it is), even if she leaves it plugged in for the whole weekend.

On my HP laptop, if I activate the "battery saver mode" (as opposed to "AI"), it reports the maximum capacity as somewhere around 80% of the design capacity. I don't know whether Linux cooperates with this, but probably not. HP only talks about OS compatibility for the "AI" mode, which not only requires Windows but a specific HP app.
Amber Laura Heard was a credible victim too.
Forgive my arrogance but how is it physically possible for Lemmy to be slow? It has 3.3k monthly users, you can probably fit the entire lemmyverse on a $10 vps.
LatAm was not the only region which was exploited by Corps or the IMF, international banking, etc. Others overcame those problems.

But I think right now one of their options is to create a regional market like an EU zone and invest in themselves and hopefully realize some of their potential. They can set tehir own rules and expectations as well as benefits and penalties.

Just as there is naive art, there is naive economics where people believe in maligning capitalism and expropriation as solutions to their economic malaise.
Proximity is only part of the equation. If a user has a slow router or a busy corporate firewall to go through their timings can be far higher than 100ms even if the server is a few miles away.

Apple officially supported running Windows on Macs for many years.
Are you referring to the Civil Rights Act? freedom of association is a construct made up by modern nation states and people.

It was never truly freedom. Classes, hierarchy, power, in the modern world order led by the US and western Europe. Fred Hampton was murdered by the racist capitalist government after the CRA passed. Before one can get to any sort of freedoms, one must not be killed by the same state bestowing such freedoms.
This is my read as well. However,I think if you regulate the security like stuff in the same way we regulate existing financial instruments the whole thing collapses anyways, so who really cares what we call this specific coin.

I don't know what to tell you, these are heavily used behind-the-scenes in the dollar black market in places like Argentina, etc.

> Nobody uses Crypto for getting money out of China anymore.

Yeah, the informal economy is not actually very large in China, it's not a good example.
If that's what you took away from this, you must have not read it. I have given specific examples from case law that show that the law often just isn't defined in these new areas, and there is actually nothing better than "I think we can win this". The law is not a secret ledger that has the true rules that account for all future scenarios, that you try to guess from the outside, and can get right or wrong. The law often just comes down to making your case. I know that's not satisfying, but it is the way it is.
Without patents: You are not provided any information, useful or otherwise. You can obtain this information any way you please, and use it. E.g.: reverse engineering.

With patents: You are provided with useless information. Information that is literally deliberately designed not to be useful. You can't practically speak use it. If you do obtain the information in any other way, you'll be sued into the ground. You'll be sued even if you've never seen the patent. You'll be sued even if your own invention is only vaguely similar. You'll just be sued, let's leave it at that.
This is genuinely ridiculous. The "big banks" can buy up and own as much of the crytpo ecosystem as they desire, and all the "whales" are "institutional billionaires".

Crypto has, for years, been held by "the elite" -- and Andreessen et al. are exactly using it as a system to commit securities fraud.

The direction of wealth flow in crypto is from late retail entrants to billionaire major holders who cash out using late entrants.

The idea that the SEC, post-collapse-after-collapse, is here to "protect JP Morgan"... i mean, this is a patent lie, misdirection, and act of desperation in trying to set up the SEC as the scapegaot for this exploitative system's failure.

I just noticed that lemmy.ml has a 2 day old post saying they're overloaded with users, then the post links to an instance list which shows that lemmy.ml has "1.3k users per month", and the entire lemmyverse only has 3.3k users per month.

This makes me wonder:

1. Are those counters outdated/not live, or does the main lemmy instance really struggle with just 1.3k users per month?

2. Even if the counters are stale and the current numbers are much higher, the thought that a community with just 1.3k users will be able to handle a sudden influx of millions of new users without falling apart seems insane from a moderation/content point of view (even if the servers can handle it)

I don't use reddit, but I would love to see a mass migration away from them to a competitor, as that type of competition is the only thing that can prevent corporations from exploiting customers in the free market. But I have doubts about Lemmy being the answer here.

The last time I remember a mass migration was when Voat was a thing, although that was mostly nazis/assholes nobody wants to talk to anyways. Voat wasn't federated or anything, but IIRC they managed to scale up and survived for a couple of years. Idk if the site operators found investors or anything like that (unlikely due to the user base), but I think that centralized approach is the only way you'll be able to make a lasting dent on a site like reddit.

Imagine if Twitter decided to do a 180 and embrace third party apps and launch their own reddit competitor, to steal third party reddit app users. That would be awful and funny.

> Why does [should] Reddit have to host speech that it doesn’t want to?

For the same reason that landlords have to continue housing people doing things that the landlord disagrees with. Because they took what was their private dwelling, offered it to the public as housing, and invited in a new party that has their own rights.

I don't really have a dog in the "deplatforming" fight, because I think the sooner we move to decentralized protocols the better. It's just utterly disingenuous to pretend that corporate property deliberately employed to perform services for customers is exactly the same as individually owned private property.

> It's pretty clear GP was using the reference frame of a far-away observer.

Even in such a frame (for example, Painleve coordinates), not all of the statements are correct. In those coordinates, the infaller's coordinate acceleration is nonzero, as you say, but their coordinate speed inside the horizon is greater than the speed of light. Their inertial mass is still unchanged. And the coordinate acceleration in this frame is still not "towards" the singularity, since the singularity is still a moment of time, not a place in space.

> It's totally fine to say 'a astronaut in freefall is accelerating towards the earth', explicitly invoking Earth's reference frame.

In terms of coordinate acceleration, yes. But coordinate acceleration, precisely because it is frame-dependent, is not considered a physically meaningful quantity in relativity. Only invariants can be physically meaningful quantities. Proper acceleration--what an accelerometer attached to the infaller reads--is an invariant, and that is zero for a free-faller.

No, your point was not lost; in fact, what you said is exactly what's so grating about "guilt tipping."

Think of it in terms of privacy. Whether I can afford to pay $1 or $5 or $50 for a cup of coffee is none of your business. I don't care if I'm destitute or a serial Powerball winner.

Suppose you stood next to a Starbucks cash register. As each person reaches the front of the line, you announce "you look like the kind of person who can pay more," or "yikes, you can barely afford that lemon-twist chai, here let me press the no-tip button for you." Can you imagine how you are making those people feel? No customer wins in that scenario.

Yes, buying coffee should be "trivial." Now it's been elevated, by design, to a public shaming.

Go Aggies! Good to see my alma-mater getting known for something other than pepper-spraying sitting protesters in the face.

Turnitin advertises the feature as "98% accurate". That's a pretty terrible accuracy rate for potentially destroying someone's life.

The utter hypocrisy of having to write "ethics / impact" blurbs for class projects, when the school can seemingly implement this sort of life-changing technology without a long trial period and carefully designed guard rails around how to interpret the results is galling.

The best case scenario is that there are so many false positives that they get recognized for the garbage they are, but I think in reality there may be a small population of students who are unlucky enough to write in a way that gets flagged significantly more often.

How do you defend yourself against that sort of situation? "Well, your classmates didn't get flagged. Why did you?"

The problem with this technology is that there is no concrete evidence that you can use to prove / disprove the accusation. There is no single piece of plagiarized content that you can dig up and point to as the smoking gun.

The ethics of letting this technology go live is breathtakingly stupid. I'm concerned this sort of laziness is a harbinger of things to come, and it fills me with dread.
Yeah, that's what I suspected. Not that Reddit hasn't been having shit moderation, but this looks like it makes sense to be flagged as spam. An overzealous misguided user who desperately looking to get involved. Intentions may have been good, but execution was poor.

IMO the better way to do the same thing would have been to write a post specific to each tool addressing how it could integrate with Lemmy.

> if I jump out of an aeroplane, I don't accelerate towards the ground?

Not in your rest frame. In your rest frame, the ground accelerates towards you.

However, the acceleration described in both frames (yours and the Earth's) is coordinate acceleration, which is frame-dependent, and in relativity frame-dependent quantities don't have any direct physical meaning. The quantity that has physical meaning in terms of acceleration is proper acceleration--what an accelerometer strapped to you would read--and in free fall that is zero.
