Main is @pre
Using this account more for forum-interaction, if I say anything I think is interesting here I’ll likely boost it there.
Seems unlikely they’ll deleted it. If they’re started deleting data that’s quite a change. They might save from bandwidth costs of delivering it to people I suppose.
Maybe something to do with users filling the AIs from the google cache? Google wanting to ensure only they can train from the google-cache.

@Norgur@kbin.social hehe.
A stylus holder too, an extra battery of course, too to handle the extra load.
No phone has been better than the n900. But a case that had the keys and extra power and maybe a secondary status screen on the back, and didn’t look like a bananna themed children’s toy. Could be nice.

Ah, I really wish Oculus had sold themselves to almost any other company on the planet :(
@XeryBlox The first thing I would pirate would be a hacked version of Firefox that had ad-blockers in it.
If I can’t get that then I’d think about abandoning the web for Gemini.
Probably the “company” that they thought you were shilling for is Kbin or Lemmy? Which aren’t companies of course, but an understandable mistake.
Presumably the people on Reddit will become more and more in favour of the admins, as everyone who isn’t leaves.
Soon all that is left will be the Spez Fan Club.
Yeah, federation ain’t working right in ways bigger than just kbin.social having a captcha. This whole instance feels almost isolated at times. Might be overloading issue. Jerry seemed to think the CPUs were all racing at max all the time and planned to upgrade to 4x the hardware. Not sure if that happened yet.
Dunno, but there is something weird about that group on the sopuli.xyz server.
If you look at the page
https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens
You get a 404 even though the page
https://sopuli.xyz/c/memes
Works okay.
To see it on the sopuli site you have to look at
https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens@sopuli.xyz
Like the group is remote to the server, even though the remote host it’s on is indeed that server.
Notice that if you click the group-name from https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens@sopuli.xyz it points to https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens which is the 404.
Curious.
Yep, look to me like it’s more than just the DDOS protection from kbin.social, no federated posts in “new” for about 24 hours now.
Ah, okay, it might be fixed.
I think I had somehow manged to subscribe to entire instances?
The subscriptions list has a “instances” section which contained a few hosts.
Dunno how I did that. I think I read some people comaining it was impossible. Maybe they were Lemmy users.
They still aren’t federating with anyone, still have cloudflare DDOS check in front asking users to fill in a capcha. Obviously robot server-fetching for federation can’t do that.
Was hoping they’d have sorted that out by now. Traffic seems to have dropped a bit, and surely the federation-endpoints could have been excepted?
We just have to keep waiting till that goes away. You can check by visiting kbin.social and seeing if the system to verify you are a human is still there,
It passed for me. Deleted my account today and now it’s all over.
Yep. Unsubscribed from everyone and everything, sub page unchanged. Re-subscribed and /sub remains the same.
Seems like it’s broke for me, not obviously different from the front page.
Wonder how I broke that.
Hummm. So it’s just me then? Strange.
I usually end up using Blender, because I’m familiar with it and it’s properly cross-platform and it’s python scripting system means you can write software to do the editing in some circumstances. Especially repetitive work.
If you’re neither scripting/programming nor already familiar with Blender then KdenLive is probably where I’d head.
@honeyed_coffee For the reasons the OP mentioned. Familiar faces, being recognized in a community instead of being just today’s main character.
In a single large forum most participants are silent, as they must be or it’d be a cacophony. Many are silent out of worry that they need to say something good enough to impress a hundred thousand people, not just something interesting to their local 100 friends.
On Fediverse things escape their local instances and their local forum-groups by boosts mostly.
Yeah, I keep saying this to people when they worry about fragmentation. Like it’s important to have all the Baseball fans in the same Baseball forum under one big banner.
No, that’s not better, that’s worse. What you want is a thousand interconnected forums with 100 people each, not a forum with 100,000 people.
@Gaywallet Replying in your mega-thread. KBin here is tagging you when I do that and I didn’t delete it.
Haven’t used Lemmy much, perhaps that behaviour is different?
@CeruleanRuin their website says right there on the nag popup. This website is deliberately user hostile, to drive you all onto the app where you can be efficiently transported towards the rotating knives.
I mostly just didn’t look at Reddit much to avoid the trap.
@TheButtonJustSpins It’s like letting oligarchs monopolize the means of communication is a bad idea or something!? Who knew.
@robin@beehaw.org
Whatssapp is designed as a surveillance app, it’s primary purpose is to collect data from your phone for Facebook to analyze, so they make it basically impossible to use unless it’s installed on your phone.
