No, the fedi is still mostly tech/privacy enthusiasts which doesn’t really describe her.

8% battery. Charge your phone man

I mean 1.) the network is still pretty small and so the ratio of creators are gonna be low because the audience is low.

2.) the discussions here are still good and engaging. Unless you mean that everyone is a leftist and therefore the same. That’s not even true unless you only follow communities on Lemmy.ml and that’s only because their admins will remove comments for not being leftist

The other tell is using an emoji at the start of every demarcated writing section. Such as a quote or markdown heading

True, the AI mannerisms in LLM generated outputs are the same style of high view YouTube videos or high karma Reddit comments from a decade ago.

But I’ve always hated the YouTube voice or the “hey Reddit, unidan here, as a biologist did you know that jackdaws and crows aren’t the same. Upvotes to left” style.

But that’s explicitly the style that normal people didn’t use and AI almost exclusively uses, so it is noticeable.

With RFK jr in charge of HHS we are probably doomed

If you want to accurate to Biblical tradition. Good created both the ant and anteater but Adam was the one who named him. (Using English of course, he was a god fearing American)

Your comment seems to misunderstand federation and the function of activitypub. Lemmy does have an All front page that is the front page of All Lemmy servers that your instance knows about and hasn’t defederated with.

You don’t need an account for each instance, you just post on your local instances copy of the community/post and your post shows up on all other Lemmy servers that you instance knows about.

You may have inadvertently made your own point, that it isn’t intuitive for newcomers but a single front page/account totally defeats the purpose of decentralized social media.

You have described BlueSky which is distributed but not decentralized and will enshittify the same as Reddit and twitter and the only benefit to ATProto is some other public benefit corp could potentially host a copy of the network in its place until that business decides to enshittify of course

I think mbin makes all votes up or down public. So maybe he’s on an mbin server instead of lemmy

I don’t think it’s probably being bottled. I think there are just a combination of people who would rather be unhappy where they are than face a bit of resistance getting themselves out of their rut and people who are fanatically devoted to legacy social media due to sunk cost and have a hard time abandoning their decade old accounts. So whenever the topic comes up they are happy to trash Lemmy rather than improve their situation. They are on Reddit alternatives sub for a reason but they won’t get off their ass because nothing is perfect enough for them

It’s within a standard deviation, it’s not like it’s getting him into Mensa.

They probably use a third party company to mail statements and such. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have already tried to contact the account owner but are unable to. They still need an address on file for account verification so they can’t exactly remove your address without an updated address from the customer. I don’t know why they asked you though. You wouldn’t have permission to update information on someone else’s account.

It collects and stores information about your system and also has your identity tied to your purchases.

I don’t think it’s a big privacy concern as far as tracking and spying on you.

But realize any device you install steam on then is tied to your real identity if you purchased games on that account. And can be used with data gained from other parties to determine your online activity if a government were to be able to obtain both.

It’s worth noting that I had to retire a few devices that I used with my iCloud before I could enable ADP because they didn’t support it. That may be why it’s opt in, although it’s not a very good reason.

The other reason may be because Apple can’t recover your passcode if you turn on ADP and they don’t want customer support nightmares of users losing access to all their precious photos and memories because they could be bothered to manually back them up or remember their passcode

If you don’t use a second factor to unlock your password database then you are correct.

Here is the real secret. If the only authentication you have on an account is password auth then you really have no authentication at all. Passwords are not security

Apple: “Brainwashed”

iMessage: “Beginner”

Well which one is it?

I haven’t bought a TV in over a decade. I’ve thought about upgrading but I won’t upgrade to a TV that requires an internet connection to activate

I think his question was why bother keeping the jellyfin server disconnected when there is no way for the jellyfin server to forward packets for the smart TV.

For the record there are other valid reasons for keeping jellyfin offline, just trying to elaborate on the op question

The principles of operation of the fediverse are actually very aligned with the “small government, personal freedom, free speech” ethos that conservatives in the US claim to have.

The culture on most fedi spaces is hostile towards anything less than luxury gay space communism politically but it’s pretty easy to ignore because the power structure of the fediverse is ideal and makes it so you filter out the very worst of the tankies if you so choose.

Now if you are a fascist who is only concerned about dominating others opinions and rights, and only care about freeze peach and not freedom of association and expression I can see how you might find the fediverse objectionable.

The fedi needs more voices from all sides, it does not need fascists.

And it’s ok to strategically vote for the least bad option rather than empowering the most bad option while still acknowledging the system is broken
