I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

  • Holy shit! Nice!

    And haven't noticed instance specific influx but recently there are a lot of users posting/commenting that have the "baby badge" on Voyager app, meaning the account is new. Feel like this influx of new users already started last week.

    Haven't been on reddit since I deleted my account during the blackouts / API fiasco and man, Lemmy/Fediverse has been fun.

  • I can already see it...

    Ad: CAN YOU SOLVE THIS IMPOSSIBLE RIDDLE THAT AI CAN'T SOLVE?!

    With OP's image. And then it will have the following once you solve it: "congratz, send us your personal details and you'll be added to the hall of fame at CERN Headquarters"

  • Or if you use firefox: use reading mode and refresh once in reading mode

  • Ayup, I found out too late about this and now my name is going to be a curse word in the future.

  • I can give a partial and interesting answer:

    Since Norway is in European Economic Area (EEA) so is Svalbard (althought it's not in Schengen), where Microsoft backs up best of Github to my knowledge to the Arctic World Archive.

    AWA is an attempt to preserve data on the long term.

    Edit: ok it was a snapshot of all public repos on Github in 2020 (21TB). Here's more info: https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/

  • Damn. Yeah let's hope he can hire some help...

  • Oh! didn't know that, I thought activitypub can't be used for secure messaging. Lol really hope its XMPP!

    Yeah I didn't take it that seriously when it was announced right now. Just hope pixelfed stays afloat amidst the user flood and hope he can publish loops as open source soon!

  • Let's hope so! :)

  • There isn't much information about "Sup", but if I had to guess it could be that dansup is making sup app with XMPP(rotocol) as the messaging protocol.

  • Yeah.. I'm bit afraid of "kbin Ernest Effect" (not sure what a proper term is) where personal issues pile up and the sole head developer just disappears.

    Haven't followed dansup much but from what I understand he is much more open to pull requests and listening to the community, but time will tell. Right now I appreciate and love his effort, giving, and the impact on fediverse he is brining.

    The kickstarter was a good idea.

  • Yeah. I love Signal but it doesn't belong in that list. Dansup (creator of loops and pixelfed) is apparently working on "Sup" that will be a decentralized alternative to whatsapp.

  • Thanks for that link! I love that they put a whole article up explaining why. Quite transparent.

  • Very good practices and yeah password manager is a must!

    I do also have a throwaway email and I really appreciate people posting news to lemmy, don't get me wrong, but making an account to every news site appearing on lemmy and logging in everytime (because of clearing browser cookies / sessions) is a bit tedious.

    Not saying this needs to change (it is my laziness in the end) and again, really appreciate people posting on lemmy. Just wanted to comment out my frustrations about the loginwall.

  • A bit of a bummer that there is a loginwall. It says free registered users can read this but I'm tired of giving my email and privacy away.

    I understand that they need revenue, but posting this on Lemmy without the text or an archived link to full post is just asking for --I read only the title and am gonna form opinions--

  • Ah shit I've forgotten the ancient tablets, ill fix that thank you!
