Not all Lemmy instances allow downvoting. So they might not introduce friction, but they remove the (maybe un-considered) negative reaction.

Their latest album was released in 2023. They released ~9 albums since the 80s, so they should not lack material.

That unsophisticated attacks can affect critical infrastructure is worrisome.

I consider myself a newbee.

Can someone please point out some specific licenses and projects which disallow this kind of action?

Thanks for pointing that out. But it was only a joke.

A water gun will also do it. You can even order one from Amazon…

You will have to repeat that again and again, because people don’t know what LLMs are. They have been told that we have AIs and don’t understand that what they actually use are digital parrots (minus the intelligence of an actual parrot).

What are principles worth if you won’t stand for them?

I was confused for a minute, not understanding what (Apache) Maven has to do with social networks.

What’s scary about it?

This is really good news. I just hope that state institutions using OSS don’t take it for granted and also start investing (contributing, auditing) into the software they are using.

One important thing the centralized sites like Bandcamp enable, is discovery of new music and artists. I’m afraid that this is such a big deal that Faircamp won’t be able to take off until that problem is addressed and solved somehow.

Install some software on your server […]

I’m afraid that this is a big no-go for most artists, which just want to make music and don’t want to be server administrators.

I don’t think that washing will be enough to remove all traces of pesticides. I assume that some of the pesticides are embedded in the peel by the time the fruit is harvested. But don’t take my word for it.

It might be better to just pick untreated fruit from the beginning, if possible.

Just a reminder: bananas could be heavily treated with pesticides.

I use syncthing for synchronizing photos and music between phone and my computers.

The feature I probably use most ist sharing links from my phone to my laptop to continue reading web pages or researching something on a bigger screen.

Do people still use emacs to code, for example?

Sure. Why wouldn’t they?

Let’s have AI regulators!
