Trying a switch to tal@lemmy.today, at least for a while, due to recent kbin.social stability problems and to help spread load.

Posting from a kbin.social account to avoid the lemmy.today issues – on lemmy.today, the current behavior looks like the messages in the queue go out when the instance is restarted, but not until then. It’s running 0.19.1.
I am not the admin there, but wanted to make that available in case other instances are affected and trying to diagnose similar behavior; federation problems themselves can cause communication problems in trying to understand the issue.
2·3 years agoI don’t think that there’s an immediate application for specifically making carrots, because I doubt that the economics work, but I can imagine a world where we manufacture a lot more food than we do today.
5·3 years agoI would assume that it’s neither a UI issue nor a problem with the source data, but rather a limitation of the routing engine.
Looking at your link, it does seem to say that support is experimental.
The closest competitor is, what, Unreal Engine? That’s more costly.
I agree, though I don’t see the repository for this on his github account.
11·3 years agoYeah, I ran into this on /r/europe when there were some EU legislation issues. The EFF does have some activity in the EU, but it does have a mostly-US focus, and there isn’t really a direct analog.
It depends on what your interest is.
EDRi (European Digital Rights) in Europe has come up on a couple of advocacy issues I’ve followed. If you’re in Europe, they might be worth a look. They don’t feel quite the same to me, but maybe that’s what you’re looking for.
111·3 years agoMy understanding is that there had been an ongoing concern on /r/piracy that they would get shut down at some point, that this had been a concern in the past, and so the other stuff like the API restrictions and the rest of the spez drama was kind of just adding to the big factor pushing people away – that the community could vanish at any time.
The lead mod on /r/piracy also set up a dedicated instance – there was definite commitment – made it clear that he was making the move, and was demodded on /r/piracy, so there were factors creating more inertia.
Those are all factors that did not generally exist for other communities.
What’s been your experience with youtube recommendations?
I’ve never had a YouTube account, so YouTube doesn’t have any persistent data on me as an individual to do recommendations unless it can infer who I am from other data.
They seem to do a decent job of recommending the next video in a series done in a playlist by an author, which is really the only utility I get out of suggestions that YouTube gives me (outside of search results, which I suppose are themselves a form of recommendation). I’d think that YouTube could do better by just providing an easy way to get from the video to such a list, but…

People have made a bunch of alternatives.
https://pixelcanvas.io/ looks like the most-practical to me, but some people may want the canvas constrained.
I mean, that visualizes the changes, but what I’m saying is that I think that it’d be possible to go further with collaborative art than having a one-pixel-per-person cooldown.
I remember, as a kid, once going to a Buddhist sand-painting exhibition at an art museum. They made these huge, beautiful mandalas by carefully shaking colored sand into designs. When they were done, they dumped it out. I remember – being pretty impressed with it – asking something like “but why would you destroy it”, and the Buddhist monk guy said something like “it reminds us not to be too attached to material things”.
Don’t know if I agreed with the guy, but I think that there is probably a very real perspective out there that ephemerality has intrinsic value.
I don’t know what his argument is, but Stross’s account seems to be @cstross.
It looks like people have created /r/place alternatives. If you like /r/place, could just use one of those and go draw something neat and popularize that. I don’t really see what drawing a bunch of images complaining about spez using the service that spez runs is going to accomplish. On the other hand, if people are doing neat things elsewhere, then other people might want to participate.

That was six years ago, so could be newer stuff out.
No. Why, are they doing something like that?
Not really the focus of the article, but I think that /r/place was a neat idea, but hard to produce much with.
I feel like maybe there are forms of collaborative art that might go further, like letting people propose various changes to a chunk of pixels on an artwork and letting people vote on the changes.
IRC has had a history of people trying to take down servers from time to time.
I’d guess a random person who got banned from a lemmy.world community or the like.

16:55 Erdoğan says Putin agrees with him on “Grain deal” renewal
17:28 Kremlin denies having agreed to prolong grain initiative
Erdogan appears to be busy all over.
I used to store my operating system and all important applications on a single 400KB 3.5" microfloppy for my Mac 512K.
It’s not new today, but it post-dates “AI” and hit the same problem then.
