I wonder how much of that money will go to indie projects. Most will probably just go to microsoft and amazon.

And it is probably correct in that assumption. Just “donate” the potus some cash and its all good.

Nowhere near as bad as drivers from what i can see media wise. Unless the victim is a protester or trans person of course, then the shooting was always justified.

Watch them imprison the shooter and let go the driver because car drivers could never do any wrong.

Seems to be somewhat dead yeah, cant even ping it.

Its the opposite even. Profiling usually meaning judging based on appearance instead of actions.

For SMS KDE connect + VPN into your home network should work. Remote calls is a tough one tho.

The Sound of Music

Dont know that so idk…
But yes, i think showing what its like to lose is important. It gives people all the more motivation to fight back if they are ever met with a choice in life.

Sort of is tho. It might give you the false impression that the good guy wins in reality too, which couldnt be any further from the truth. It also teaches kids that there is a greater power that will eventually save them, which again is not going to happen in reality most of the time.

Why do they even get to know which games people buy? It should just show them “Steam purchase” and nothing else.

There probably arent even any “participants” behind those bots. The AI companies have exhausted all the written content on the internet, so now they are scraping video and audio data. I wouldnt be surprised if that is exactly what those bots are doing. Either thats their primary job, or their secondary job that the actual participants dont even know about.

We arent really in disagreement tho. I am absolutely empathetic with their situation and their burnout. Im just saying they should have seen it coming. Those two things arent contradictory. I just find it odd how one can invest so much time into a public project, without being aware of the realities of having to moderate it. Im thankful for the people that host instances, but i will never do it, because i know how much of a pain it is.

This really is a complicated problem, but if the fediverse wants to grow without relying on slave labor for moderation like Meta and the rest, then we have to find ways to lighten the load on moderators. Thats why creating transparent pre moderation tools like the image scanners used by many fediverse instances is so important.

When you moderate a platform that the public is free to upload anything to, you will see everything. From insults to threats to gore to CSAM. Thats how the internet is. That is the worst part in my opinion, because you cant just look away, but actually have to deal with it.

Sounds like someone wasn’t prepared for the reality of human interaction on the internet.
I mean its completely fair to say that they don’t want to deal with it, but also what did they expect?

It basically boils down to making the browser do some cpu heavy calculations before allowing access. This is no problem for a single user, but for a bot farm this would increase the amount of compute power they need 100x or more.
