  • I always like the soft clicks it made when communicating on the internet, after the screaming noise, when it settled down. Soft hum of the computer and little clicks as I read a forum post.

  • They spoof numbers. It almost always is a number from my state or the area code, very rarely do I get calls from out of state and they are all already labeled "spam risk/telemarketer" when they come in.

    Also thank you for writing this comment, I was going to say ios had no way to block unknown numbers, but I searched to double check myself and they finally do have that option! It may have been around for quite awhile, I hadn't checked for a long while.

  • jokes aside, it's just not a really attractive title.

    I've played 48 hours in one of the games in there, Traveller's Rest, about running a tavern. It has money, supply, employees, trends etc. But I'm not enjoying it because Yay Capitalism! It's because when you're running your own cute shop with virtual money it's fun. I do like the genre, but being reminded of the systems that are causing a lot of real world shit is just a bad title.

    But I guess "Business Sim Sale" wasn't flashy enough.

  • I have no type of economics experience, but what if representatives of a demographic of people should be paid the median wage of those people, with high punishment for corruption and bribes?

    If they would like to earn more, they should lift their states's lowest wages. This goes down to all levels, a mayor of a city only earns the median wage of the city. It is a civil servant job after all, it shouldn't be glamorous.

  • I wish! I was trying to login because the government emailed me to remind me and who my servicer is. So THEY know that it's there somewhere. My service provider probably has the account but I guess lost the data, but they still have SSN + an account somewhere. Just kinda bullshit in general because they aren't answering emails because of an influx of communication, so call center time with probably hours of wait.

  • This reminds me that my loan servicer sent me a reminder, to which I could not log on and they couldn't recover my info through even SSN so I emailed them. I never got a response. Should...probably look into that.

  • This overall bullshit of doing opt-out fucking sucks. Opt-IN! Pissing off people and the. going "oh well there's an opt-out" is so stupid. New experimental features that don't directly benefit the user should be that they must have to opt-in manually. Off by default.

  • I'm trying desperately to edit the code into the correct format, but predictably, lemmy.ml is having a bit of a time as everyone wakes up to the blackout.

  • Similar, I'm assuming gmail is a no go? I feel like theoretically it should work but it's not. However, this may be because I'm using elest.io -> docker, but something's fucked up with my domain's SSL and it's signed by itself. It gives the browser a big huge 'ol unsecured warning, so I would assume that because that's messed up it's causing gmail to not accept it? I've opened a ticket with them, so eventually maybe I can figure out if that's the case, I've never had a problem pointing namecheap domains to anything before.

    It says this, but I assure you, the password is correct.

    The settings

     
        
      # Email sending configuration. All options except login/password are mandatory
      email: {
        # Hostname and port of the smtp server
        smtp_server: "smtp.gmail.com:587"
        smtp_login: "crystals.rest.lm@gmail.com"
        smtp_password: "[the password]"
        # Address to send emails from, eg "noreply@your-instance.com"
        smtp_from_address: "crystals.rest.lm@gmail.com"
        # Whether or not smtp connections should use tls. Can be none, tls, or starttls
        tls_type: "tls"
      }
    
      

    I also did start stattls and that didn't work. Tried swapping ports around, nope.

    edit: fixed the ssl issue with elest.io, they just had a configuration wrong, but tbf lemmy support was added literally yesterday

    second edit: I just didn't use gmail and instead made a zoho mail account that worked out after a lot of setting up

  • I've been wavering back and forth for a little bit. I just know the kbin plays nicer with lemmy than lemmy plays nice with kbin when it comes to discovering remote communities. Being a remote community, I wanted to make sure it's easier to be off site, but I did just find an easier install with lemmy (I will try this) so we'll see how that goes

  • Memes @lemmy.ml

    bad habit to kick

  • I thought for a moment it was happening to me after coming off of just simply upvoting things about lemmy, but I think I've seen other people report that the reddit site is currently on and off shitting itself. (Is it hug of deathing itself? Plenty of people are coming for popcorn.)

    I think it would be too fast for reddit to incorporate auto shadow code into the api itself to time out requests from users engaging with lemmy/kbin things, but I'm not really sure.

  • Yeah the codeberg iirc just lists a set of commands with no idea what you're doing, so it's very hard to know if you've done something wrong. Usually I would do that, and then edit and look up things as I go, but that was the biggest deadend I've ever had. Though, the recommended server provider's interface, slowness, and bugs wasn't impressing me, I'd really love if they could make a droplet. (and selfishly a droplet with something that has more options for US servers)

  • I usually persevere through difficult setups if it's denying me access or a setting didn't get flipped, but the whole thing just crashing and debian no longer booting is uhhhhhh. Welp.

  • I tried to start a kbin instance today and I literally ended up corrupting or deleting debian off the VPS.

    So look I'm tryin' but uh...give me a little time.

  • Where has that been proven legally?

  • Where are algorithms considered as being new and legally allowed derivative works in relation to visual works of art?

  • Translation: (1) Text and data mining is the automated analysis of one or more digital or digitized works in order to obtain information, in particular about patterns, trends and correlations.

    (2) Reproduction of lawfully accessible works for text and data mining is permitted. The reproductions must be deleted when they are no longer required for text and data mining.

    (3) Uses pursuant to subsection (2) sentence 1 shall only be permitted if the rights holder has not reserved them. A reservation of use for works accessible online is only effective if it is made in machine-readable form.

    None of that says anything about creating profitable derivative work. In fact is specifies patterns, trends and correlations, which does not lead me to believe it is protecting visual works created from this data, those kind of things are only used to inform things, like information science.

  • Yeah, AI can totally exist and be useful, but currently it's in the hands of tech dudes and admins who have a terrible track record with developing things responsibly and over hyping and masking flaws. It's used to make a profit at the colossal detriment to humans. It's used to hurt us currently, not help at all.

    I think the training data from reddit probably only used the API because it was easier and free. And if no longer free, there's nothing pointing to them actually paying for it. It's not like reddit is the only data, they very much likely already have web scrapers for other uses that they can just tune for reddit.
