- Comment on [Video] TechAltar | AI prompts are driving me ✨insane✨ 25 minutes ago:
It’s not enough to make it available as an option somewhere so it’s there when you need it, they need accidental clicks to inflate metrics.
- Comment on 15 hours ago:
At that price point, something used and not particularly recent. Even an old laptop will be good performance-wise, but not necessarily storage-wise.
However, buying a laptop to run at home might not be the most reliable or economical way to host Lemmy: you can rent a virtual server for not much, provided that you have access to a computer to remotely access the server with.
I have zero experience with YunoHost, so I don’t know how that may or may not limit the options. Probably the most common way is to use Lemmy-Ansible. It’s easy (well, relatively speaking) and is maintained by the actual lemmy devs themselves. Managed services (ones where you don’t have to deal with the server) should also exist for lemmy, but I’ve never used them.

Because “biological weapons development” sounds a d v a n c e d

- Comment on What happens to the content if an Lemmy instance shuts down? 2 days ago:
When instances federate, they don’t send old content. Old content will be fetched if a user tries to open it, for example by clicking a link to an old post (on some apps) or pasting its url into the search box.
The data copied to the other instance will stay on the other instance, unless manually deleted for some reason.

This sounded off, so I checked the docs.
…downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

It promotes downvoted posts?

Hey, they didn’t fuck everything up!
- Comment on Voting in the threadiverse 3 days ago:
As much as I wish votes could be private, obfuscating them would make troll instances harder to notice. I think I hate it the most that the current model gives the illusion of being private, when it isn’t.
- Comment on Voting in the threadiverse 3 days ago:
They aren’t shown to users, no, but because votes are federated, they’re freely accessible to anyone willing to put in some effort.
- Comment on Meta's Llama 3.1 can recall 42 percent of the first Harry Potter book 4 days ago:
It’s not copyright infringement if you’re as big as meta.
- Comment on Is there a way I can easily set up my own federated instance for free or no? 6 days ago:
You’d have a hard time finding company that would just give you access to vps for free. Running a server always costs someone money.
- Comment on Steam beta gets native Apple Silicon support — the only public Arm version of Steam 6 days ago:
Not very likely. Translating cpu architectures is completely different from from what wine/proton does. A compatibility layer for arm would be even more difficult and expensive, and have a performance penalty. They might plan that for further into future, if arm takes off for PC though.

Oh boy, not this bullshit again
- Comment on If I wanted to have a maximally downvoted post, how would I go about accomplishing that? 1 week ago:
I don’t know if this will be attempt, but I’ll do my part. Godspeed, OP
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 1 week ago:
I’ve been using obsidian notes for a lot of things. I have a kanban board there that goes buy->bought->in progress->finished->100%
The last step is pretty useless because I never even want to 100% a game. I should remove it.

Buying access to people’s hacked routers and such without their consent is probably illegal.

Mate.
Your site says “no confusion”, “no fluff”, “zero BS”, etc. but the entire page is just incoherent fluff bullshit. I read the page and I have no clue what your product does.

That’s what I use. The peertube plugin wasn’t great.

Cool, I don’t need another watch, but I’m interested to see what kind of mechanical movement one can get for $5.
- Comment on In the not too distant past this was a thing 1 month ago:
That sounds like the right price range. Maybe yours was just massively discounted for whatever reason.
- Comment on In the not too distant past this was a thing 2 months ago:
All of those seem to be quartz and not mechanical.
