What makes that screenshot of an e-mail credible? Is there some other more reliable piece of evidence?
You can take a lot of control by using search commands. Here is a list of commands for Google, for example: https://www.lifewire.com/advanced-google-search-3482174
By using commands like these you can narrow down your searches to the point that the impact of SEO is small. You give a much greater weight to the conditions that you have chosen.
It can be a bit of work to write a good search query, but the database that search engines search through is massive, so it makes sense that it would take some work to do this right.
Search engines like google aggregate data from multiple sites. I may want to download a datasheet for an electronic component, find an answer to a technical question, find a language learning course site, or look for museums in my area.
Usually I make specific searches with very specific conditions, so I tend to get few and relevant results. I think search engines have their place.
I disliked vegetables from my childhood all the way up to my early twenties. One of my ways to rationalize this trait is that it started on a specific event during kindergarten. The kids in my classroom collectively begun throwing a tantrum about veggies being gross. The memory is hazy but I remember that we were given some veggie cut-outs or small toys and I had a radish, and many of the children started crying and shouting things along the lines of “eeeewww noo, I don’t want veggies” 😆
Since then, I have mostly grown out of it, but radishes are still a no-go for me.
Of course this is perhaps a weak attempt at rationalization, but the memory is one that used to come back whenever I saw veggies and that’s why I still remember it.
This research shows that even adults are influenced by observing how others react to vegetables. If adults respond this strongly, it makes sense that children can be even more susceptible. So I think this lends a tiny bit of support to my theory of me 😜
Sure.
If I make my own AI image generator and create a nice image with it, or use some AI engine that gives me full ownership of the output, I can choose to share it online with whatever license I want to share it with. I don’t see why the regular copyright rules for digital images and photographs would not hold… If someone shares their AI creation online and wants others to share with attribution, or not share at all, what is wrong with that?
I can take a ton of photos of objects with my phone, upload them to Flickr, and they are all copyrighted. That doesn’t mean that other’s can simply take similar photos if they wish to do so. The same with AI. One can decide whether to share with attribution, pay someone to let them use it, or to generate the image themselves using AI. It does not seem like a problem to me.
My girlfriend kept complaining about losing her hearts on Duolingo and I was very confused as I never had any “hearts” during regular lessons. Eventually I found out that since I had created a classroom while exploring the site, I was given access to a teacher version of Duolingo - which is basically a free premium version 😅
Woah. That is a lot sooner than I had anticipated.
Yeah, I still see the line now. I am not sure if this was a one-off, maybe the edit occurred when I rebooted the instance for a moment and the edit fell through the cracks… Or there might be an actual issue federating edits.
I think you left this line behind by accident:
l = Lemmy(INSTANCE_URL)
Woah, that’s new to me. And sounds very illegal. Are these reports credible?
EDIT: I found a discussion on the topic here, which presents some alternatives to explain why the comments appeared to be restored: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/34112/Heads-up-Reddit-is-quietly-restoring-deleted-AND-overwritten-posts-and
I will give Reddit the benefit of the doubt because even though they are acting pretty badly, restoring user-deleted comments sounds to me like an even higher level of incompetence.
Exactly. I really enjoyed posting on reddit, but the idea that they see our comments as a trove of data to monetize at the expense of the community that created it really makes me never want to contribute again. Too bad I made the mistake of not deleting all of my comments or replacing them with junk when deleting my account :/
“Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things,” Huffman said. “We are not in the business of giving that away for free.”
🤮
You can create a one-person instance and hold your identity there.
If you what you want is for every server to hold your identity, you have to trust all servers. I think that an evil admin would be able to impersonate any user from any instance if that were the case. How do you delete your account? Can an any admin delete your account everywhere? Which one is the real “you”?
Well, good thing that you prepared well in advance and have already built a nice alternative.
Reddit is done
Better delivery and avoids exposing your IP via emails, although it’s best to setup a some sort of tunnel to avoid having that problem altogether.
Is it possible to have a public-facing instance without exposing your IP? I am not sure I understand that part, and I am very interested in understanding how to achieve that.
consider using an email delivery service like jetmail instead of sending mail directly from the instance
Why is this better? To overcome spam filters, or is there some security risk associated with e-mails?
I looked through the git, it was removed here: https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/2566
It appears that Yandex would respond to requests with a captcha and they were unable to fix it, so they removed it.
Awesome! The one with the sustained source loop is my favorite:
Also, the one that shoots out flames paints a picture similar to how a synchrotron behaves, shooting out X-rays into the beamlines as the electron bunches move around.
Upon looking into it closer, the synchrotron is a bit of a mixture of those two concepts - the source loop (booster ring) that is fed by the linear accelerator, and then the larger loop (storage room) that feeds X-rays the beamlines. Of course, many details differ, but still it is interesting to notice the similarities !
