My guy it’s fucking Christmas day. The post itself is 2 hours old right now. Your response to that post is a whole whopping 4 hours old right now. Allow the admins to have at least a small grace period where they aren’t sitting right at the controls. Lemmy is nowhere near as big as Reddit, with large admin and mod teams able to take shifts.
I’ve literally seen no one say that it’s forbidden. Maybe one of the comment chains from someone I already have blocked does, but there’s only four two of those.
I see plenty of people saying this is a stupid post. A post that is uselessly vague. A post that is almost entirely purposeless.
I understand wanting to avoid brigading, but as it stands this post amounts to “You all should know that I reported someone (I won’t say who, tee hee) for posting something that I think is misinformation about Wikipedia (I won’t say what, tee hee). It’s really bad, but you’ll just have to take my word for it. This person I won’t name is just the worst. You need to know they’re the worst. But you don’t need to know who they are or what they said, that’s not important! Also I have vague consipiratorial feelings about anyone who would speak ill of Wikipedia after Musk said bad things about it, because no one could possibly have grievances or concerns with Wikipedia that are still valid despite Musk’s derangement.”
If you wanted to spread awareness, you should have named the problem user. If you wanted to force the admins into action you should have named the problem user.
If you are willing to give the admins time to handle things properly, especially during the fucking holidays where they likely have other things to do, instead of needlessly raising an alarm on something pitifully small… then you should have waited a few days for them to do something before running off to play vigilante with this post.
If you want to make people waste time trying to evaluate if you’re a nutter, thin skinned, or otherwise blowing smoke… you make a post like this one.
Either you had enough evidence to make this warning/call out post legitimately, and then you make it with names, screenshots, and fucking receipts… or you give admins time to respond and sit until they show they won’t do something.
This weak, vague post just says that you’re too impatient to let the admins work, you don’t trust them to do what you think is the right thing, but you’re also chickenshit that they might ban you for talking about it. Rather than post this from a throwaway made on another instance you make this useless thing.
TL;DR- People are telling you that this attempt to “warn” people is worthless without actionable info.
The last thread OP participated in features a comment from OP countering something said about Wikipedia by wikipediasuckscoop. Looks like that’s who.
Then why are you trying to be cute and not call out the username (or usernames if they are using alts)? This doesn’t identify jack, just says that someone exists doing something nonspecifically bad towards wikipedia.
As important as Wikipedia is, there are a ton of legitimate problems with the site and community moderators. Some of the drama that comes out of there is downright otherworldly. Without examples it’s hard to take what you’re saying seriously.
Edit: Either there’s enough direct screenshotted evidence that this needs to be a specific call for admins to ban this person, or this just comes across as absurd escalation of some stupid internet debate.
Second edit: it’s wikipediasuckscoop
Do we really need a warning for someone so obviously biased? Next you’ll be warning us that madthumbs might have some reservations about the usefulness of linux.
If only life were so simple. There’s a warehouse full of reasons.
Why should they care as long as it’s just talk? Sites on the open internet that truly pose a threat in regards to organizing coordinated action to effect the powers that be do get attacked and taken down, regardless of political affiliation. It’s not about politics, it’s about protecting the money and power.
Threats are easier to track, and organized movements are easier to infiltrate/disrupt, the more visible they are. Why would they choose to push anything they’re concerned about deeper into places that are harder to track like private IRC, Signal, dark web, etc?
General plan of attack as documented in leaked intelligence agency docs, is to infiltrate potential threats, manipulate to discourage direct action and to divide the group with an ever increasing list of concerns until they’re spread too thin for action, then cause loss of momentum and or trust in leadership, then finally destroy if there’s any reason to (usually the movements disperse and die on their own at this point). Look into Occupy Wallstreet and how it was derailed by introducing intersectionality into what was originally a clearly targeted movement based purely on class division.
Controlled opposition is useful as hell. They can use their own resources to more easily influence groups when the groups are out in the open.
Obvious direct censorship action tends to spur people to action, vs careful manipulation to ensure the pot doesn’t boil over.
You can make money off of all sides and discussions when you own the discussion sites, get to harvest all the data, and get to sell all the ads.
Things are not nearly as centralized as you imply, and even getting all the big names and powers in line and coordinated to do anything in one fell swoop is nearly impossible. Systemic issues are difficult because it’s not one source of rules and truth passing commands down, it’s tons and tons of people effected by rules and expectations from all over the place, which collectively congeal together to cause the shit end results.
Wait, Bromite was discontinued too?
I really wish more devs would utilize the “pop up the changelog after update” technique to let users know. There has to be a better way than having to check each project’s individual page and/or discord regularly.
Can anyone provide any more context besides a github that only has a multi-page code of conduct as the readme?
I thought homeassistant rolled out voice control features around the end of last year/start of this one.
My daughter isn’t even two yet, but I’m definitely trying to plan a balance with this. It’s a huge part of how I learned, and I don’t think I would have learned nearly as much or as well otherwise.
At the same time though, I can’t help but feel like ads and the internet are far more insidious than they were when I first went online in 2000.
Malware is much more sneaky. There’s more spare resources for it to use without impacting performance. Ads have likewise had plenty of time to develop/advance/get worse.
Thankfully, ad blocking, anti-malware, and recovery tools have also advanced.
I think for the early days I’ll have her on an isolated, locked down, pre-protected device for learning the basics of using a computer (mouse, files, the type of stuff they used to teach in elementary school).
Then slowly take off the training wheels.
I find that intentionally trying to hide things just makes this occurence 10x as likely.
Just password protect it and leave it where it’s convenient. I would hope that you aren’t in a situation where getting robbed is likely.
Megaman Legends 3
Our boy is still stranded on the moon!
Worst thing is that they had a nearly complete demo of it for the 3DS, and released some video of the demo and testing stuff in-engine during development, then like a day before it was supposed to drop they cancelled the whole damn thing because supposedly not enough fans participated in their fan forums/events.
They could have at least released the damn demo! It was already finished! Would have cost them fucking NOTHING.
And then the series creator Inafune fumbled making a spiritual sequel to Megaman when he Kickstarted Mighty No.9, so when he tried to Kickstart Red Ash as one for Legends it failed to meet the goal.
Still frustrates me.
I will forever continue to suggest that as a developer, you learn your IDE of choice’s features for templates/code snippets, or make yourself a “templates” file to copy and paste from.
Far more control, far less opportunity to miss something small and mess up, cheaper, less resource use, and faster.
Using VsCode/VsCodium’s snippets feature has been a serious game changer for me when it comes to boilerplate.
So, to be clear, your use cases are “copilot’s assistance with programming in an obscure language for fun” and “cheating on college classwork”.
While you aren’t wrong that every automated system needs human oversight and occasional intervention, when the average person hears “fully automated” or any of the many marketing terms used for these things lately they are going to take it pretty close to face value.
It also doesn’t help that it was largely marketed and reported on as if it wasn’t an experiment, but a solved and working “product”.
Every system will have its own requirements and acceptable margins for error and required interventions, but I think most people would feel that even the one in twenty (5%) goal is a lot for a project like the Amazon automated shops. It would be a lot for any of the automations I come into contact with (and have built) at my job, but admittedly I’m not doing anything as remotely novel or as complicated as an unattended shop.
Beyond that, people have a lot more reasons to dislike these systems than just the amount of human intervention and I think they’re just going to jump on whichever one is currently being discussed in order to express it. Like displeasure that the teleoperation positions are outsourced the way they are, taking even more jobs away from the local population.
It’s one of the things I really enjoyed about the early episodes of The Expanse. Lots of attention paid to the hard science of space travel, especially compared to most sci-fi.
Inertia matters. Debris speeding at you from a nearby fight is just as dangerous as someone meaning to attack.
Stuck in a brig when an enemy ship railguns a softball sized hole through the ship you’re on? Slap the emergency manual three ring binder up against the hole to make a temporary seal.
It goes off further into less science backed stuff as time goes on, but I really appreciated the “hard science” base it built off of.
I don’t know Maiq, I’ve heard what they call you in Tamriel.
Because all of what you’ve listed is easily managed at an enterprise level. It sounds like your Windows admins are lazy, or you have executives that actually like those shitty features. I’ve seen that happen before too.
None of what you’ve listed besides start menu web search is enabled at my workplace.
I’ll agree 1000% that a lot of those settings don’t need to be locked behind admin rights though, and there should be an easier way for enterprise admins to leave more of these settings up to their end-users.
The fuck you mean, mossy?
she actually likes him, money was the main reason but it wasn’t the only reason
You kind of buried the lede here by not including this info in the main post.
Sounds like your daughter is just being honest. Honest, open communication is important for a successful relationship. There’s all sorts of reasons for sparking the initial interest/attraction, but what is important is that the relationship has more bones than the initial spark, which it sounds like it probably does.
My wife caught my eye because she literally caught my eye. That doesn’t mean I’m only with her for her looks just because that was the initial reason for my interest.
As others have said, the main concern here is that she needs to ensure that she has her own financial security separate from him so she is not trapped or up shit creek if his finances go away for any reason.
Beyond that, the age difference can affect power dynamics and expectations within the relationship. That’s less your business, more between her and him. It takes a lot of open discussion and willingness to compromise and work with each other.
My wife is somewhere around 15 years older than me. We started dating when I was past college but younger than 25. Just barely within the half plus seven window. We have differing opinions on acceptable levels of cleanliness/organization, and how household chores are to be split up. It also doesn’t help that I didn’t have nearly as long of a time living on my own before moving in with her. But with a lot of discussion and patience on both sides we make it work.
Is it islamophobic to point out that their holy prophet had a bride that is widely believed to have been between six and nine years old when they married, and to have been nine years old when the marriage was consumated?
I get that isn’t explicitly encouraging it, but I’ve never heard of any context that in any way justifies their prophet having sex with a nine year old (not that any possibly could).
