Oh yeah, I hear you on LLMs. Technically, ChatGPT has not “heard” of anything. It’s generally something I use as a jumping-off point when I’m desperate and don’t know what search query to use.

Does passive RFID harvest its power? I don’t know much about RFID (I’ll probably head over to wikipedia after this comment) but I figured that it was a circuit that, when given a bit of energy from a reader, sends back an RF signal with an encoded ID and that in the absence of that powered reader, the RFID device wouldn’t be transmitting anything.

Oh and I am sure fox is discussing it in good faith and will come to the conclusion that actually, working less is better, because that’s what republicans believe. Sure…

Fox news is a garbage source of “news”. Fox is a propaganda machine.

My point still stands.

Not all of them are! I could contribute to the code base right now and I don’t have an instance.

1 contributor’s opinion and the existence of one community does not an argument make.

the devs don’t care about laws, if you want to put it so broadly, because the devs aren’t the ones who would get in trouble here, anyway. instance owners would likely catch the most trouble, especially because you can also add your own gdpr compliance if you want to.

also most devs aren’t facebook. most devs don’t really care too much about tracking users. the commercial sector on the other hand…

I’m sorry, but I think we’ve fallen victim to Poe’s Law here. Fret not, I understand the concept well, I was just cosplaying as someone who did not, laregly out of frustration for mankind’s dependency on centralized services.

But then how will I know which instance is the real one and not the impostor? What if I join an itailian instance, will I be the impasta?

I don’t even know man this shit is so confusing. I used to just comment and upvote when I saw shit I liked but now how will I know if the shit I liked came from one server or another. This is just madness we can’t keep treating people this way!

And you know the first thing devs do when they start writing code? They look up laws drafted by non technical people to ensure they are fully in compliance. The priority of lemmy all this time has been GDPR compliance, the fact that the app looks and functions similar to reddit is an afterthought.

Can it run crysis?

Lemmy was created before GDPR.

Volunteers probably have not implemented GDPR and may not, or might.

Do you have a favorite server brand or motherboard you like to use in the data center?

Yikes!

This is the way

They were down but aren’t. This is going to happen from time to time for reasons, but most importantly (and this is not an advert or endorsement for centralized services like reddit):

• these instances are run by small teams, maybe even one person per instance. By “run by” I mean the admins who can actually host and support the hosting environment of the instance, not moderators though that’s an important task too.
• At reddit or other for-profit companies, multiple teams of people monitor multiple data centers worth of servers, have 24/7 tech support crew, dashboards, alarms, alerts, escallation proceedures drafted by other teams, people they can escallate problems to including usually a decent sized team at the physical datacenter due to the amount of servers they buy because of what they can afford based off advertising income because the site is popular enough, which is why it’s much more rare to see these services go down.

But so many things can and do fail, including:

• updates (dependencies, breaking updates, “this should just have worked but it didn’t, why?!”)
• server issues (too many memes and now the disk has runeth over)
• one server that gets overloaded or is in a data center that has a network failure, or a hardware failure on the server where the virtual server is hosted
• account got hacked
• 0 day exploit targeted directly at this server
• DoS or DDoS attack
• Admin has a day job that they need to do to keep the lights on at home and at the lemmy instance and has to do their day job work.

Speaking from experience, but not with lemmy in particular.

This is antitrans propagandized filth. This isn’t science. This may not even be real. This doesn’t belong here.

Why is this so hard? UPS tech had been around for a while and I still can’t find linux drivers to support the cyberpower one I have.
