So I guess if I want to pay for my VPS with crypto I am a criminal? Good work cyber sleuths, you solved the problem!
This is the hosting equivalent of racial profiling and this firm in Texas should be ashamed. It is not good cyber security work.
At best they’ve identified something everyone else already knew and witch hunting Cloudzy (even if they are 100% malicious,) provides zero value.
Monopoly busting. Ecosystem lock-in. Right to repair. Software patent reform. Privacy and AI regulation.
What do lawmakers even do these days anyway?
DAE feel like they woke up one day recently and “AI” suddenly has the answer to EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM EVER? Yet, nothing is getting noticeably better?
“AI” doesn’t have to work a dead end job to feed its family, or turn to alcohol because it’s lonely and scared of being forgotten. It’s training data is a curated version of the human experience based on the Internet!
It’s playing human instead of being human and ALL of its solutions will assume that’s “normal.”
Imagine a five star general googling “should I attack this country?” That’s silly right? Well that’s what’s happening. It’s just being wrapped in a way that makes it look novel.
These are algorithms designed to mimic humans. When faced with any actual controversy they must be persuaded to answer in an “acceptable” and predetermined manner.
The golden rule.
Someone with a degree weigh in here. All these big tech companies are buying 100% sustainable energy, reducing their carbon footprint YOY, but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference on global GHG.
What accounts for the increase? Purely population increase plus consumption?
It does make sense. I wonder if the admins checked to see how many users (were) subscribed to nsfw? Not that a subscription equals a content consumer, but it’s a strong indicator.
Possibly. Power is just representing others via. their trust in you. Trust can be earned, purchased, or stolen.
I don’t think the blahaj admins bought their users off. I also don’t think they oppress them. I can only reasonably conclude their doing what they think is right.
If the users agree, stay on the instance, and are happy there’s not really any discussion to be had.
I like the instance and it sucks to see it defederate period. I can’t really say what reasons are right or wrong universally, except for criminal stuff. IMO.
Slaps roof: “It’s our Lemmy Certified Quality Discussion©️Guarantee!” : “You won’t always like the conversation.”
long pause
Customer: “but?”
Slapper: “But what?”
Customer: “You won’t always like the conversation, but…”
Slapper: “Oh! No, that’s it’s. That’s the guarantee.”
If the blahaj admin(s) are working in the best interests of their users, and/or moderating out criminal content then that’s just swell.
On the other hand, if they’re trying to control other people… that’s bad form.
I always cringe when I hear: “you live under my roof, you live under my rules.” This has that kind of “feel;” yea?
A quick, but a little dirty solution for this, would be communities having “tags” in their metadata. This wouldn’t prevent spam, or an accumulation of four trillion tags, but you could easily add “only these tags,” or “not these tags,” to any feed. User objects have metadata that is used like this (as the “bot” flag) already. I’m just familiar enough with the code to know it wouldn’t be a slam dunk, but it’s also not a breaking change or re-write!

The weird rage people have about this. I’m not sure where it comes from. If there are 100 communities, only the top 1-5 will contribute 90% of the content. If you have even one user subscribed to the top 20 or 50 communities, you are already likely getting 90%+ of this traffic. After subscribing to literally every community in the lemmyverse, I promise your instance will not see any meaningful increase. I’m willing to be proven wrong, but not one of the ragers has offered a credible reason other than fears based on misunderstanding. No offense.
In Germany they pronounce it VasMan.
I’m not convinced either one of us knows what the software is SUPPOSED to do, and I am pretty sure nobody knows what it’s actually doing. Here’s another thread: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3163
There is some discussion. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2947
I am still fairly confident that it shouldn’t be storing images, but I’ll admit my pict-rs directory is growing quite fast compared to the database. Have to keep a close eye on this.
I mean someone from the “outside” might go to lemmy.world and see a page full of poop and beans and argue the same thing. Just saying.
They’re not supposed to, and don’t call me friend, buddy.
I love the idea of taking on a monopoly, but I don’t like that, without regulation, it has a low chance of success, and the consumer gets to suffer as the monopoly fights back.
