Great write up of the potential, thanks! I think the ambiguity is part of my concern. You are right, this has the potential to be a good thing, but most of the detail is yet to come and the devil is in the detail.
I agree that planning for population growth has not been a strong point, and I’m curious to see if something actually comes of this plan.
Wow, that’s amazing! Must be pretty cool and/or scary to be going through the canal alongside giant oil tankers.
Been anywhere good over the last year? Just up and down the east coast or have you been elsewhere?
Yeah that’s a pretty good argument for it.
Well if you get 50 from a large fries, isn’t it feasible they got 100 from two large fries?
I’m curious what the impact of this is. I feel like something is slipping through and I’m not quite sure what it is.
Oh hey! Last time I heard from you I think you were on your way to the Bahamas, like a year ago lol. Sounds like you’re no longer in that region, but perhaps wishing you were!
Why group it into language instead of say a ‘web’ directory or ‘android’/‘mobile’?
I’m just curious, I am more of a ‘throw everything in one directory and home I remember what I’m looking for’ sort of organiser.
Multiple people in this topic say they organise in directories for different programming languages, something I have never considered and I find it to be an odd way of organising for some reason I can’t explain.
Where do you put a project with a Javascript frontend and a Python backend?
Haha yip that’s the top album for me, this checks out. Apparently I/we are a top 1% global fan with 667 minutes listened to.
What do the plastic bags break down into when they decompose?
I am under the impression they don’t decompose at all, just break into smaller pieces.
That may still be a better use of your time 😅
I just took the info from the article, what is wrong about it?
Welcome back! We are still here haha
In case people are wondering, from left to right in the bottom image:
There is also a Jeff Bezos one not in that image but seen in the other images.
It’s my pleasure. Most spam is on other instances, I will ban it locally if I know about it, but when their home instance bans them then it automatically applies here too. And running the instance software itself is pretty low effort these days, not like the early days 😅
The hardest part is trying to work out if the registration applications are genuine or ChatGPT.
Most people applying from NZ are pretty easy to spot, because of the way they talk and the words they use. Many spammers just write their spam message in the registration field because they are automated bots. But the AI ones are just genuine looking enough but also super generic answers, so it’s hard to know if they are genuine.
Then many people never post or comment, which is fine, but you can’t just watch people for a few days to see if they are genuine. Other instances have had sleeper spam accounts that have woken up a year later and started posting spam.
But even this is pretty low maintenance these days. Maybe 5 applications a week, and unless there is a wave of spam then most are genuine. I’ve approved 6 applications this week and only one I was a bit unsure about. Can’t remember if I’ve denied any recently, Lemmy clears them out after some period (a day? A week?) so the username can be reused.
That’s a good question. There are many spam bots that have been banned over the years, including accounts that were Lemmy.nz local accounts. My memory is not good enough to remember if anyone has been banned outside of spam. It should be in the modlog but I am not sure if there is an easy way to look that up.
Ah thanks!
I am under the impression it’s dedicated hardware not a VPS, but it’s leased from Hetzner they don’t maintain the hardware themselves.
Don’t forget the Breezy live wallpaper, where it shows a wallpaper based on the current weather.
Does it say Weird Al?
I remember every parody saying Weird Al, and online campaigns to have people label things “Not Weird Al” so it would still come up in searches but people would know it wasn’t actually Weird Al.
