Software engineer.. we also use all 16 digits of pi

I'm 5 years down the road and... Well let me tell ya, it gets worse

Unfortunately this bonkers truth is so mundane at this point, I didn’t need to read passed “freedom”

The nice thing is we aren’t really “competing” so to speak. I definitely want lemmy to grow, but the community can be a .0001% chunk of the internet and I would be totally happy as long as it were a kind, useful, and fun chunk

Geez it's just so incredibly sad to me that facebook has survived this long and even THRIVED while probably being the worst version of what they do, and being the most evil doing it

It actually seems like an interesting problem to solve. Instance runners have the sql database with all the voting record, finding manipulative instances seems a bit like a machine learning problem to me

Why doesn’t this meme also show how they’re doing it in prisons?

Uses vim with arrow keys

Unfortunately they could just spin up a lemmy instance on some anonymous server somewhere and do that anyway. I don't want them in here, but they can certainly already pull the data up. To me that necessitates some form of anonymizing protocol, or even a form of shared encryption making it so you can't simply pull data in, you need to be invited or allowed into the federation.

Everything is right about it:

• Lexographic sort
• Unambiguous months and days
• Acceptable on any document of record (lab, legal, medical, personal)
• Readable by nearly any culture (even us Americans)

I have neither the time, nor confidence to mod; but I have wondered if we should make something like a "lemmy wishlist" for communities we'd like to see ported. Seems like a good way for the lemmy community to vote on and discuss communities they'd like to see, and connect to would-be mods

For real the choice used to be "swallow it and be happy" or "just don't use reddit". If 60% of people are happy with this decision they're making (for very pragmatic reasons, I might add), then the other 40% can choose to stay or start accounts in other instances; or both.
