Browser with keyboard first philosophy? Could it be? I have to check it out. Do you have some resource on how to operate it without mouse?
- Comment on Looking for bot-friendly Lemmy instances/communities for RSS reposting 1 week ago:
Ah, sorry. I remembered you having a bunch of Stable Diffusion communities, so I thought maybe such thing might fit your vibe
- Comment on Looking for bot-friendly Lemmy instances/communities for RSS reposting 1 week ago:
I think that the guys at lemmy.dbzer0.com might not be against it
Although, I think one community containing all the feeds you are interested of might be a little bit too personal for a general population instance. It might be better to set up your own instance, with just one community and join it from the account you use
There is also ibbit.at !meta@ibbit.at but with that one, I guess you will have to ask for separate communities per feed and the admin does care about the type of content it would be pulling
- Comment on Topic or Community focused as a place where people can link to suspected AI video content and have folks more expert at spotting slip help? 2 weeks ago:
have it identified
By whom or what?
Maybe some from !fuck_ai@lemmy.world would be interested but I guess it should be another community, just for that

Oh. So that
fin the posts of the person that posts a screenshot every day is not a typo, it is in the titleHow is Silent Hill f? Is it worth checking out? I am a complete tourist when it comes to horror games
- Comment on What FOSS GOG Downloader/Archiver do you recommend? 2 weeks ago:
In general, I use Lutris. But since you want to just do a backup, I guess https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader is what you are looking for

- Comment on PHP is the English of programming languages 3 weeks ago:
After decades I am still uncertain of some grammatical rules and word choices. I still struggle with spelling often, and once in a while I find a word that I have been pronouncing wrong my whole life.
Get more contact with native speakers. No shade but half of them don’t even know the rules
I know how you feel, I also feel that. I am not always sure how to navigate cultural connotations of words, sometimes a native surprises me by using a phrase, that I have known before, in a way that I knew is the proper use but would have never come up with that myself. Yet, since I started spending more personal time with native speakers, I would often be asked to take a look at a draft of their message. Or they ask me how would I word something. Because “you are better with words” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The difference is, you and I pay attention to what/how we say it. Native speakers often just say it as it comesGranted, as we already established, I am not a native speaker but by looking at your posts I would not say you are struggling with English
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 3 weeks ago:
With AP does the exchange have to be http requests? If every instance had a stream instead, would that break the protocol?
With decentralized AT, who would be maintaining the stream? On the image I don’t see a connection between the alternative firehose and right-side pds’
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 3 weeks ago:
From the looks of AT, its farily linear because its really just operating on a set of giant event streams (like kafka).
Wouldn’t that mean that this stream will have to scale horizontally?
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but those could be just “read instances” spinned up by a peak in requests at load balancer. Not running all the time
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 3 weeks ago:
It gets DDOSed because after the boost, all the subscribers’ instances are calling it to retrieve the content?
Do you think a load balancer might help?
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 3 weeks ago:
But is that a limitation of AP?
As far as I understand one could split a fediverse instance into three parts: data, backend and UI.
The data is not shared 1to1 - each instance gets a copy of the activity and from that creates it’s own copy. Hence the same post on different instances will have different id
The problem we are speaking about is the capability of the backend to process incoming copies. Meaning, I also understand that the part that serves the local data to UI should not be the problemWhat if there was a queue at the front and from the backend a scalable ingestion worker would be split off? Those would only do the putting the actions onto the data. Probably with per community(?) FIFO topics/partitions, so we can process data in parallel and not worry about an updoot for a post that does not exist yet
Those would still be fairly easy to deploy and be vertically scalable, right?
Or is there some bottleneck in the protocol itself? - Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 3 weeks ago:
ActivityPub works fine now because the community is fairly small, but it will reach its limits as it is currently designed. Its basically an event driven model vs a push and pull model. Sure a docker image can more or less jusy be deployed, but that simplicity is a ticking time bomb.
You mean that when there’s more traffic, the instances will start to DDOS each other?

Thanks for the suggestion
I know that one too. I don’t remember how far I got but somehow at some point I lost interest. I felt that either I ace if the guard will go left or right, or I’ll end up with alarm and swarming enemies without much to mitigate the situation
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 3 weeks ago:
I think I remember some early tech demo videos from that one. Is it able to provide a challenge when everything can be torn down?
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 3 weeks ago:
Hm. Interesting insight, there might be something to it
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for suggestion
I played it and it was cool. Gunpoint from the same developer was also a blast - Comment on Being a noob in heist games 3 weeks ago:
For some weird reason with RL it’s easier than with co-op heist games :D
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 3 weeks ago:
In theory yes. But I feel that in multiplayer I might miss a que to time something. In single player I’m the only moving part
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 3 weeks ago:
I do that too but I still feel unprepared for the real thing

Now I’m curious :D. Did joining a few communities help or something more was needed for the federation to start?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Shouldn’t it be enough that you join a few communities from other instances on yours?

Thanks, I already bought epub of Diaspora
I think what is on the authors site are only explanations of science he references in books

That was… an incredible read. I felt my mind bending
I need to find the full thing - Comment on Machines might not be able to reproduce themselves 5 weeks ago:
The very first compiler was written by hand in assembler. Then the next version was compiled using the first one. Now when we come up with a language we first write a compiler in another language and then move to compiling new versions with their predecessors.
If machines had enough “connecting the dots” (doesn’t even have to be full AGI, IMO), why do you think those couldn’t build their next versions? - Comment on 5 weeks ago:
pre release reviewers said, too. It’s light on RPG elements
In that context, “RPG elements” means stats and mechanics based on stats. Not roleplaying
