And common people still cant get a break financially, while these guys make billion dollar mistakes and come out just fine.

I think its very normal. I remember when I was young, specially in my teenage years, I was incredibly attracted to all girls too.

People have different strength sex drives. Some people hardly even feel theirs, and others are completely dominated by it. Age plays a role too.

For companies, the cloud has been amazing. Almost every company has their infra in the cloud now. Its expensive but gives them one click access to hundreds of services.

I think Ai will also be amazing for companies.

For people? Probably not great. Ai will track and monitor every human. I cant see any other future as long as big tech is driving.

Even black mirror author ran out of ideas, and the onion articles seems like ordinary life now.

100% agree with this. Its good that we have many options, its good for the ecosystem as a whole.

Ok. It sounds like a bug to me, but not sure. Can always create an issue in the github for Lemmy and see what they respond.

There’s too much left wing shit on Lemmy and the instance blocks don’t realllly work, I still get responses and see comments from instances I’ve blocked, it just blocks the communities not anything else

Yeah ok. Hopefully this can be improved in future versions of the lemmy software. I think its designed to not show those responses and comments from blocked instances. Are you sure you are looking at the Subscribed view? I dont know this, but maybe the All view will not take blocked instances into account, and the other one will? But i dont know.

I think this depends what you mean with trolls. Some users who are called trolls by other users are not trolls in my opinion. Its just users expressing an opinion that the other user doesnt agree with.

To be a troll, you have to intentionally post things to upset others. If I post my opinion on something and you call me a troll because of it, that means im a troll? No it just means thats what you think about me. Its not a universal opinion that everyone shares.

Users who only post things that upsets others are banned also from lemmy.today. Its not designed to be a safe haven for actual trolls. But it does allow users to have unpopular opinions. The job of the moderator is to know when a user is an actual troll and when he just has an opinion that is not popular. There is a big difference.

Yeah but its interesting that all of these big tech guys are so creepy. Altman, Musk, Zuckerberg... Do they grow them in labs?

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 2 points 4 months ago

That would be amazing to be included there. A true honor.

 

Ive been running cosmic for the last couple of weeks and im very happy with it already. I think the future of linux desktops has never looked this bright.

 

Users of lemmy.today are reporting that outgoing federation of posts and comments stopped to work after the update to 0.19.1 about 19 hours ago.

A restart of lemmy software seems to have made it work again for now, but not sure for how long.

In this version its also common with CPU spikes on a regular basis. I assume its the new federation queue that takes more cpu in exchange for being more reliable. But I see a lot of Postgres UPDATE queries that did not occur in previous version. Also sometimes i see ROLLBACK, which I assume should not be happening.

Anyone else has similar issus with 0.19.1?

I thought this was kind of a fun way to show discontent with Chromiums added Web Integration - someone made a pull request to simply remove it.

Its already been approved by a lot of us, why not add your approval as well? Click the Approve button and add your name to the list of people supporting the removal.

Google will of course not care but I thought it was a fun gesture.

 

I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here.

It's very different from Meta or Google or whatever big tech company people have accounts on, where they know your real name and many more details, such as phone number and address.

I don't see the privacy danger in someone sweeping up what we are talking about here, since we are pseudo anonymous. Am I missing something?

Whats the value of random aliases discussing something and why is that a privacy issue?

 

I really love seeing this search engine grow and grow. It's just a fantastic search experience, much like Google in the early days before it became shit.

Everyone should at least try to set Kagi as default search for a while, to get back your private web searches and not help Google grow by selling your data to advertisers.

Kagi is crazy good (lemmy.today)

Here I was in my own little bubble appearently, thinking people were using https://kagi.com to search now that it exists, but a comment I got made me realize that's probably not the case...

You really should try this search engine. I switched to it 6 months ago and before that I was using duckduckgo, and often had to throw a !g in there to get proper results.

I remember setting it as default as a test and then I just forgot about Google. :)

It's not free however, you will have to pay a few bucks for it. But to me it's about supporting alternatives to Google which I very happily do. It's only a few bucks.

Have you tried it and what was your experience?
