Or “pirate” the drug like they do with insulin.

Yep same with PoPOS. Great little distro. It’s been my daily driver for years now.

Your probably right. And if an instance defederates with others, it may look like the number of users dropped without actually dropping.

Yeah thats another good one. Its almost like it would be useful to see what each tracker would do in the following scenarios:

1. Create a persona instance with a couple of accounts (like 3)

2. See what each site says

3. Create a post/ create comment/ upvote sample post.

4. Ban an account (How many active users are now being counted? How many comments? Did that comment/post go away retroactively?)

5. other such experiments…

6. Let everyone know the results.

Wish I had more time.

Again the interesting thing is that a lot of other sites have a huge difference in numbers. But they are all saying the same thing, “Active” users are declining or getting close to equilibrium but number of users are increasing. Strange.

I personally think that piefed/mastodon/other servers federating with lemmy might be messing up the numbers in some way. Both pumping up the numbers and making others “go down” in different sites and how they are pulling the data. Like if I respond via my mastodon account, is that a “new” account? Does that make it pop up as an active user? If I dont repost it via the mastodon account for a while, will I now be an inactive account, even though I still look at lemmy with it? Im not sure.

Whats some good IPTV channels?

The interesting thing to note is each website I go to that looks at the total number of lemmy users is wildly different. Im wondering if there is some sort of blocker/defederated instance occurred a couple of months ago? Im not sure.

Either way, number of users are up.

I have one running on the equivalent of a pi. It works no problem. The biggest issue is the constant io and network traffic but it’s not terrible.

I wish there was a only poll once every x amount of time instead of the constant polling, but it’s a good solution. I use lemmy.world as the main account and the other account when I need to post under my real name with some projects I run. Plus it makes for a good development instance since I work on lemmy from time to time

Wow this article goes into the nuance. And it terrified me.

That’s big news! Wow. This whole saga is getting to be a big deal.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the hurricane.

A company called Clearview AI broke that unwritten rule and developed a powerful facial recognition system using billions of images scraped from social media. Primarily, Clearview sells its product to law enforcement. Clearview has also explored a pair of smart glasses that would run its facial recognition technology. The company signed a contract with the U.S. Air Force on a related study.

Just another reason to not post all your images to social media. Share with family/friends who care but thats it.

What does the article say? Its asking to sign up.

If only there was a berg for code with this repo. Too bad there isn’t.

Ah gotcha. I’m on cell so it just looks unformated text.

What did you use to do so?

Yeah my positive take is this might be a good excuse for people to think of repairability again.

Because, you know, if very little new chips being made in the near future, we are going to have to.

Im a dev. But you do you. GL!
