I assume all the bot farms are paying for the privilege.

So, the Internet of Shit is not just a euphemism now. Great…

As with every legal topic on the Internet: depending on your (international) jurisdiction.

Nice. Thanks for sharing that.

As much as I’d like it to be, it doesn’t have the network effect/popularity that Reddit does. It covers maybe 70-80% of my Digg+ needs, but there are many topics/subs I want that Lemmy just doesn’t have.

“Be the change you want to see” is always there: if a topic/sub doesn’t exist, you can always create it yourself. But no good deed goes unpunished, so you’re now the owner/moderator…

I have Netdata running in a container, which has a useful all-in-one-pane view, and it does a good job of auto detecting other containers and the host OS. Its essentially zero config.

It also has alerting capability, which is not zeroconf (configuring it properly is a bit of a chore). 😅

They try to push a pro/paid version, but it’s subtle and completely optional (a bit like the way Portainer does it).

To add to what others have replied, Amazon have an institutional belief that everyone who makes it through the Loop is better than 50% of existing staff.

It could be post-hoc rationalising of back-loaded share vesting, hire-to-fire, and their other many practices, but that’s the position. With that kind of thinking, it makes this behaviour, including it’s consequences, a no-brainer win:win to them.

I asked this question many years ago on a Usenet group, and the answer was along the lines of what we’re seeing is many millions of years after those orbits began, and that they all eventually flatten out due to the gravity of the other objects in orbit.

So you could have 2 objects at roughly the same orbital distance but perpendicular to one another (eg. one orbiting the star’s poles and the other around it’s equator), and over time the small amount of gravitational force they exert on one another will bring them roughly into the same plane.

Hopefully someone better versed in the topic can come along to explain it better than I can.

Netiquette

Now there’s a term I’ve not seen in many years.

And dates both of us, I expect… 😄

Yeah, but also: you couldn’t be more wrong if you tried.

They’re going for the FX artists.

Agree. It’s definitely popcorn hour.

TIL that version appears to be on the AUR: MicroEMACS/PK 4.0.15 customized by Linus Torvalds.

Last updated in 2014, it probably has serious cobwebs now. Even the upstream hasn’t been touched in 6 years.

You appear not to have heard of Google Glass.

Hadn’t seen that before. Love it. 😄

This seems a reach. Podcasting (MP3 files distributed by an RSS feed) is platform agnostic.

To me, claiming that any platform is “killing” any demographic’s podcasting capability is screaming “I know absolutely nothing about podcasts”.

YMMV. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think it’s the usual “it hasn’t impacted me personally, so how bad can it be” maintaining the status quo at all costs.

Once something happens that they care about, they’ll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become…

Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?

This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.

Had no idea about this. Very useful, thanks!

I second this, as it’s my use case.

Providing you lay out each note correctly with appropriate frontmatter, Dataview’s DQL and DataviewJS give you all the SQL-like functionality you could want.

Plus a load of useful functionality beyond a plain DB.

It is.

I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that their consistent advice was to call them so they could take it away to examine instead…
