The thing I dislike the most is that my bot got banned. I made a bot to post carefully categorized articles into their proper communities, but it was banned without warning or explanation. All the communities I was modding dried up shortly thereafter because I didn’t manually post in them instead.

Someone offered a definition here: https://lemmy.world/comment/8529913

From the discussion, that definition may also be a hallucination, though.

All in all, car bloat has increased vehicle prices while making autos more destructive to human life, natural ecosystems, and pavement alike. Because the full societal costs of crashes, pollution, and road repairs are not borne by owners of SUVs and trucks, every American is effectively subsidizing car bloat. Even if they drive a sedan. Even if they don’t own a car at all.

I’m thinking about picking up Pikmin 4 – is it any good?

It’s common enough that this dude made this song about it, idk 🤷

I use rss to discover content that I post to Lemmy. The value of Lemmy, for me, is the community and the comments, so when I see something interesting in my rss feed reader, I post it to a relevant community to see what folks have to say.

This is a very good addition!

Kinda. What you’re referring to is “decompilation”, which is the process of taking the output of a compiler and trying to reverse-engineer the code that produced it. But decompiled code is really hard to read and modify, because it isn’t what humans wrote, it’s what the compiler translated it into, and that can have some unexpected changes than are mostly irreversible. And, since it’s closed source, if you somehow manage to make a change, you can’t re-release it – you don’t have the license to do so.

With open source, you see the same code as the maintainers, so it has the high-level programming concepts and good variable names, and you have permissions to fork and release your own version.

Yeah! Would you be willing to drop by my communities to make banners for me? I don’t really have any graphical editing skills, and I could really use the help. They are:

What you’re describing is mastodon. Come hang with us!

I personally am excited to see Meta join the fediverse, and I think the design and implementation is strong enough to support both people who want to see Threads content and people who don’t, and that’s really exciting to me.

If you’re willing to pay for comics, I subscribe to Marvel Unlimited and read it on my tablet and find the whole experience to be quite enjoyable. Pirating comics takes a lot of work, and it’s super convenient to get reading guides and character profiles and creator lists and stuff built into the app. I find I read a lot more comics now that it’s easier to access.

This is a better analogy, thanks!

The answer is yes! It’s called FunkWhale.

I doubt it’ll be what you’re imagining, though, because of the licensing requirements for music hosted in a decentralized system. In particular, everything in the fediverse is public, so all music and podcasts hosted in the fediverse has to be licensed under the creative commons, and can’t be gated to paying customers, which does not include most music or podcasts.

Thanks so much! Fixed!
