Sex isn’t a “gender orientation” it is really simple biology.

Gamete size – its really simple.

Congratulations infertile people, you are now officially sexless.

You can tell the comic is AI made because despite the the panels with the three people being pretty different, they look equally devoid of life. Also, the massive hand holding the painting.

Though this content could flourish in pockets of the fediverse, the scary scenario of prevalent child sexual abuse material is not the case. There are many moderation tools, including shared blocklists, that prevent it. However, the idea that the fediverse is full of harmful content was used by Elon Musk to justify his anti-competitive decision to block links from X to Mastodon.

Didn’t he unban someone who posted one of the worst CSAM videos know?

Lemmy will change the way it handles DMs in 1.0 specifically for Masto compatibility.

You should be a Luddite because they were right. My point wasn’t that we should embrace AI (trust me, I’m one of its most dedicated haters), but that just because technology produces lower quality goods doesn’t mean it won’t catch on. It’s going to take more than jeering mockery to stop capitalist embracing something that lets them deskill workers.

I’m about half way through Blood in the Machine by Brian Merchant, a book about the Luddites, and one of the things he’s emphasised quite a lot is the complaints of people at the time about the lower quality of automated textiles compared to artisan-made ones.

gtk2 is gone 🦀🦀🦀

It ignores what happens if your PDS provider goes down. While currently Bluesky can repopulate a new PDS with your old data, I don’t see how that’s going to survive them adding stuff to the AT proto that isn’t public and therefore not kept persistently in Bkuesky’s servers (e.g. E2EE DMs).

I don’t have a Sharkey account to test (I really need to move my masto off .social one of these days) but it works in Mastodon

Here’s an example (you’ll need to look on Lemmy to see the image):

Does anyone on your instance follow the communities you’re interested in? Lemmy communities ‘boosts’ all comments it receives, so you should have them.

The labeling idea is pretty interesting, an email service with inbuilt proxy, but your website is pretty light on details. Stuff like pricing or custom domain support is absent.

Do you have any recommendations for someone who just uses them for email?

I didn’t explain what I meant very well. To scrape a website you don’t need to understand robots.txt, implementing robots.txt is something you do to be a good netizen. But to get like info from Lemmy, implementing ActivityPub is a requirement.

Now I’ll admit, it’s not a great system and I do wish we had something better, but I also don’t think “this isn’t a good way to communicate preferences” is a good reason to ignore them.

I didn’t say it was private, I said it wasn’t public, there’s a difference. If you asked me what number I was thinking of I’d tell you, but that’s not the same thing as the number I’m thinking of being public information. ActivityPub is, at its core, about consent. We have consented to having our data be sent to any person able to serve 200 responses on an inbox endpoint by using instances with open federation. We could, if that makes us uncomfortable, moved to a closed federation system where we only accept request from an allowlisted set of instances, with software that follows the spec’s public addressing system.

The comparison doesn’t work because both Lemmy and Mbin are implementing the same standard, while robots.txt is mostly an honour system.

You should assume voter data is fully public and fully open. It otherwise is in the federated ecosystem.

Information not being private isn’t the same thing as information being public.

Lemmy likes aren’t meant to be public, this is just other software failing to respect the privacy Lemmy indicates.

I would say Fedora, but it has a really annoying OOM freezing issue.

Damn, so this is how I find out we’re least trustworthy part of the commonwealth.

[email protected] continues to chug along. Passed 800 subs recently but engagement varies a lot by post.

I’ve been making an active effort to start posting in [email protected] over the past month or so, even though it seems mostly abandoned by its mod.
