The purpose of the base model is to make the more expensive higher end models look better in comparison than they otherwise would.

You know how if your email app stops working you can just install another one and still communicate with anyone else with an email address? The fediverse is like that except it’s not email it’s twitter and reddit and YouTube all rolled into one. So if twitter was part of the fediverse when Musk bought it and destroyed it you could move to another server with a better moderation policy and pick up where you left off.
I can confirm that the 1984 Threads movie is pretty traumatizing. Not in a horror movie kind of way, in a “this is realistically what would happen in and after a nuclear war, which is the end of everything in the worst way you can imagine” kinda way.
It’s on youtube.
A convicted rapist (also charged with 91 other felonies) running for president, with as much chance as winning as the other guy.
Yes
Whenever another fixture of the 20th century leaves us, I spend a few minutes watching their clips, listening to their songs, reading their writing, or whatever they did. Gonna do that now.
RIP
I will very soon. For now, I’m collecting email addresses - https://rimu.geek.nz/piefed-comms/?p=subscribe
And that’s just in Spain. Plenty of other Catholic countries out there, probably with similar incidence… Anyone wanna do a back of the envelope extrapolation? #lazyweb
That wouldn’t be cool. At all.
I’d prefer to go in the other direction (i.e. away from permissive) and add a ‘no fascists or tankies or genocide’ clause to AGPL, actually. ChatGPT assures me that would be bad and possibly illegal (?!) tho, so I might just end up putting stuff in the code of conduct which achieves the same ends.
My first instinct is to go for AGPL but the whole licensing debate isn’t something I’ve ever really engaged with so I’m not really making an informed decision about that.
What’s the advantages of a more permissive license?
I’m building a Lemmy/Kbin clone, using Python (Flask framework). I’m about 3 months in so the basics are there but it’s definitely still half-baked…
If this sounds like something you’d like to contribute to, pop your email address into this form https://rimu.geek.nz/piefed-comms/?p=subscribe and I’ll keep you in the loop!
Interesting, that’s hardly noticeable. Perhaps your instance has less federation relationships happening than mine, or something.
btop!
It’s very pretty.
Here is a screencast of what happens to my 2 core server when I post something - https://kglitch.social/activitypub_cpu_and_net.mp4.
I run a single user instance, more or less, so there is little chance of some other user causing this load.
Some of it will be due to the way Kbin is built but I believe any software using ActivityPub to communicate will run into similar issues sooner or later, especially with network traffic usage.
Demo post
Yeah. A lot of hand-wringing has gone on about it, e.g. https://gist.github.com/jdarcy/60107fe4e653819138396257df302eef. I’ll post this and then show you a video of server activity that results.
They are synced. There is an insane data volume, yes. It is hell.
With some ways of looking at things, the world as a whole is getting better, rather than worse.

I’m pretty sure long covid and climate chaos will put a stop to that soon enough but we’ll see. For now, some stuff is getting worse and some stuff is getting better.
