Bad bot

There was that whole https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17 thing. Not sure how people forgot about this.

Wouldn’t they want to do that to show off their work? Or I guess not so they can distance themselves from it and pretend it never happened.

The body doesn’t magically disappear. Although it is probably in many, many pieces, this can be confirmed through DNA testing on small samples.

Bad bot

There is no such thing as “api misuse”. You provide the api and people use it according to the conditions you provide. Tighten your shit. Don’t blame your own failures on other people.

There was a post about plain HTML-and-CSS there that was anti-Tailwind the other day, although I can’t find it now. Seeing both of these posts is why I made my comment. :)

So glad people are catching on to this. Until like a month ago if you said anything bad about Tailwind you would literally get shadowbanned on HN.

Once he’s in prison for treason he doesn’t get secret service protection anymore. He is up for the death penalty for christ’s sake.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_News_Act doesn’t only apply to facebook… it’s extremely broad, unenforceable, and likely to be repealed

Yeah this is complete GPT hype. I would like to never hear about GPT again just like we never hear about NFTs now.

I can’t even filter out GPT posts because people call them AI instead of LLM to sound cool :(

There probably is a way to change the storage location, if not, or if you want to only move a few (perhaps the devices have different performance) you can merely move the directories and symlink them back

how hard it is to join the platform

I seriously don’t belief the learned helplessness that makes it hard for people to join Mastodon or Lemmy. It’s literally one signup page. People have just completely lost any semblance of tech literacy.

It sounds like your problem is that people with bad projects are winning arbitrary contests. What does that have to do with politics? Your observation about the categories or people who are winning seems unrelated, unless your real problem is that marginalized people are winning contests, in which case the problem is just that you’re more right-wing than you thought.

Wow the internet really took a nosedive the last few months.

I don’t think 1998 is correct, this was my first Android phone and I used it in 2008 (a decade later than OP) which is what the wiki also says:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Dream#History

First released in September 2008, the Dream was the first commercially released device to use the Linux-based Android operating system

Android itself didn’t start development until 5 years later than OP:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#History

Android Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, in October 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White.

I also found this cool category for phones that came out in 1998. They’re all Nokias. This was even a year before BlackBerry.

I’d say the short answer is no and the long answer is yes.

Searching across instances is difficult, for the reason RandomBit mentioned in this thread. But you don’t go to reddit and expect your search results to include Hacker News, Twitter, etc. When you search on reddit, it also only searches the local instance, it just is that there is only one instance. So the search is exactly the same as reddit.

With that said, there is probably room for a service that provides cross-instance search by subscribing and indexing communities like a crawler, rather than relying on users to create the federation.

Well that’s upsetting.

That doesn’t seem like a very large fine for someone dying, not to mention people might be criminally responsible. (Some reporting on this subject is written to imply that this was a suicide, but that seems unclear to me.)

edited to add: it was revealed after this comment that it was in fact a suicide

Not all instances are equivalent, some of them have very different politics and moderation policies.
