Technically it’s not the resolution that changes, but the optics (unless you want to bring out the fancy math and treat it as a sampling resolution thing based on smallest recognizable detail)
- Comment on Why do "realistic" AI results for man/woman have non-proportion big heads compared to their bodies? 3 weeks ago:
Also so many head photos taken from an angle right in front of the face or a bit higher, distorting the shoulders in ways you don’t notice but which matters when the algorithm tries to splice everything together into an averaged model

- Comment on Publicly routable IPv6 addresses behind CGNAT in home environment using Tailscale and VPS 1 month ago:
You need to set up a publicly accessible device (in this case the VPS) as your IPv6 gateway
So you set up your VPN connecting your network to the VPS (should probably be set up from the router) and set your router to advertise an IP adress for the VPS which is routable from your local network as the gateway address
(note, I have not set up this stuff myself so I can’t help with implementation details)
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
Because certainly they don’t think brigades harm communities if they won’t trust mods to set subreddits as private
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
“we won’t let moderators harm their communities by not letting them eg. protect their communities from brigades and similar harassment”
Sure you thought that through, reddit admins?

And if you don’t know who owns it, leaving a note to ask is simple.
I’ve been the one to leave stuff out that I didn’t have space for anymore, with a note on that it’s free to take
- Comment on Is there such a thing as an automotive relay with no resistor? 2 months ago:
There are coils which can detect current through induction, so you can trigger on press without altering the resistance of the circuit
- Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities 2 months ago:
So by default your instance respect mod removals.
You can change that as a server admin, so comments would remain visible to other users on your instance.
I think your instance is authoritative for content of comments, but the community hosting instance is authoritative for which comments are approved (other instances respect such removals by default)
- Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry? 2 months ago:
Some dumb shit I see is setting SPF so Google is a trusted origin for email “to solve issues with sending to Gmail addresses” when what you’re supposed to do is add your mail servers as trusted origin.
Directionality, how does it work?
- Comment on [Instance] Kbin.run down 2 months ago:
Somebody should consider building a fork that works of bluesky’s content addressing scheme, that way communities can effectively be re-homed in full even if the server dies
- Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities 2 months ago:
Lemmy stores your posts and replies on both your host server and on the server of the community.
One interesting behavior to note here that is different from reddit is that while comments on reddit belong to the profile of the person commenting and is then imported to view in the subreddit (this is why you can edit comments after being banned, and why there visible in your profile even if removed from a subreddit), on lemmy the target community is instead authoritative and your host server will by default respect a deletion by community mods on different servers by also removing that comment from your profile.

It depends on the type of location, small remote locations might not even get their own local network

They’re not for long term storage, they’re for transient storage like photography

What you’re suggesting can’t work
I sympathize with some of it, but you’re going too far
Content addressable posts like what Bluesky’s atproto does and cryptographic identity allows for portable posts and identities, and it even allows forkable communities as you can import and move entire conversations, and even mirror conversations that one team of mods may not like into another community
And when posting to any /c/books the default visibility should be the same assuming a neutral reputation server and a neutral reputation user.
Literally impossible according to the CAP theorem (database terminology) in a decentralized network where not all servers federate with all (often because they just never have interacted and thus don’t know of each other)
You have to push the communities to participate in multiple parallel communities, that’s much more reliable. Together with a credible threat that the community can depose bad mod teams by forking, you have a much better chance of preventing bad mod behavior
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
You’re basically suggesting bluesky style label services
And no that can not be the only solution avaliable. You have probably never seen a well moderated community, or at least not participated in one for long

- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
That already happens in the global popular feed though, I already see multiple variations of the same subs across different servers without subscribing.
Any shared agglomorated view based just on name needs to allow subs to opt out (I run /r/crypto on reddit, and it’s for CRYPTOGRAPHY and I wished all the spammers would go and set themselves on fire) and you absolutely can not force it onto everybody.
You’re also stuck with the same problem of less popular subs not getting many views because their content ends up last, because they don’t have as big dedicated userbases.
You also get an even worse problem of malicious servers faking high popularity to dominate (like when /r/T_D manipulated reddit) if you do it the naive way. And new users won’t know the best place to post to (usually the place with the most reliable mods).
You also can’t do thread deduplication without cooperating mods, so you get intense clutter. You also break apart sub specific culture if they get flooded by strangers.
The only way you can even get close to a sane implementation with your take is by putting a banner at the top of every thread in that view with the host sub description and the rules and forcing everybody to agree before interacting. Otherwise off topic content gets upvoted when it shouldn’t, sub specific events gets ruined immediately, and people will get pissed when they get moderated under rules they should’ve read but didn’t.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
Honestly it shouldn’t be either. Moderation requirements are too different and the direction and culture can be way too different.
HOWEVER what we should have is official support for publishing multi-subs, like reddit’s multireddit feature, where multiple mod teams can agree to advertise their chosen combo that displays a hybrid view.
The most complicated part here is deduplication of threads. That’s easiest to deal with by detecting crossposts and showing them as a single view with comments from all participating subs.
- Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line 3 months ago:
It’s a remote controlled web browser. It supports stuff like Netflix because the DRM support is maintained. When that stops it will get Blurayed and old players will fail to play new content
- Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line 3 months ago:
Or literally just reuse the Android TV name
- Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line 3 months ago:
That’s what they did until OpenAI started making noise and management pushed out everybody working on safety and quality to cut corners and rush something out to compete (poorly)
- Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line 3 months ago:
What you need to do is put devices which you want to access from multiple networks in a specific network / VLAN and then bridge it over

The remote playback control over network patents? I can’t see why those patents should be valid, everything there has prior art done in the 80’s
