  • Mine is setup like that as well, but IIRC it's only for thumbnails. When you open an image, it's requested from the original server.

    Browser pre-loading does DNS requests and sometimes even loads the full page in advance without even clicking a link, for faster load times. So it all depends on your app/browser/instance combo.

  • Be careful browsing federated social media on work internet. You don't know where requests will be made, I've seen a post of someone getting in trouble because lemmynsfw was pre-loaded by their browser.

    Use a VPN

  • Mine is using about 100GB atm, ran it on a 40GB to start but the data management was a bit much. Good luck though!

  • I've been using OVH without issues. How big is your drive space though? Lemmy uses quite a bit. Federation can take some time too.

  • I tried, but I like information density and the new UI is a horrible waste of space. I get why people like it and it's way more modern, I'm saying loads of people who used reddit from the start will probably never get used to the new UI, mostly because of the customizability and open API.

    Reddit didn't have apps in the beginning, so we made them over the years perfecting the UI. I settled on baconreader with a compact view, but it and so many others died when the API was purged. I patched my app and can still use it to this day, but I don't because fuck them.

  • Same, my mouth dropped reading the article.

    Obligatory fuck spez

  • The way AI is trained today creates a black box solution, the author says only the developers of the model know what goes on inside the black box.

    This is major pain point in AI, where we are trying to understand it so we can make it better and more reliable. The author mentions that unless AI companies open source their work, it's impossible for everyone else to 'debug' the circuit.

    Zero knowledge proofs are how they are trying to combat this, using mathematical algorithms they are trying to verify the output of an AI model in real time, without having to know the underlying intellectual property.

    This could be used to train AI further and increase the reliability of AI drastically, so it could be used to make more important decisions and adhere much more easily to the strategies for which they are deployed.

  • I feel like most the old school redditors have long migrated, I've only ever heard good things about the new UI from relatively new users.

    Lemmy is old reddit, if not OG internet ethos.

  • Hey YouTube, today we're testing this photon detector I found browsing ebay that was sold by some friendly russians. It's been collecting dust for 10 years but due to some recent developments it's as relevant as ever! Now I'll be able to see the feds coming from miles away!

  • Any word on the screen? Would be sad if it wasn't OLED but it wouldn't surprise me if they wanted to cut cost for the base model.

  • Not at all, but I am craving Cinnabon™

  • Lemmy has a 3 character minimum though

  • Who wants a short instance name D:

  • We have those in Belgium too! I always thought it was just MSG and bouillon combined.

  • Ofcourse, and stocks might fall over the short term, but thoroughly vetted companies have a much higher probability of bouncing back. Diversification and thorough vetting at the time of buying is what experts recommend, not panic selling.

  • Thanks for explaining how profits work lmao

    Saying you make your profit when you buy the stock means you have a clear plan on when you'll be selling the stock. A dip in your stocks is an opportunity to buy, not to sell.

  • Profit is made when you buy a stock, not when you sell. You only buy stock from a company you have researched and genuinely believe has long term potential. Things like this shouldn't be altering your perception of the stock.

    I'm paraphrasing but that was a major point in "common stocks and uncommon profits" by Philip Fisher.

  • I get your point, but having Signal in a "Get Federated" list is very misleading at best.
