I can confirm - it is slop.

I have this printed out and stuck to the fridge

In the article the chatter is a woman but it can just as easily be a man. So all those customers are sexting with men half the time, heh.

The PieFed web UI has a daily limit you can set, btw. Doesn’t work with apps but you can uninstall all the apps and use PieFed as a pwa which is very app-y.

I guess if it were effective then Google wouldn’t provide it.

There is an app called App Block which is a bit more hard to get around.

Perhaps the key is finding things to do that are better. Volunteer work, study, get a dog, etc

This may come as a surprise to you so brace yourself.

I am not stupid.

In the settings, isn’t there a “digital wellbeing and parental controls” area? I’m pretty sure that’s a stock Android thing.

Maybe they’ll relaunch as a piefed instance, lol

No, but there is on PieFed.social. Mods and admins have functionality to check any post or comment for LLM-generated text. There’s more stuff too.

Generally I share my findings with Lemmy admins so they can ban the account.

I think this is a pretty big threat to the fediverse and social media in general and am taking it very seriously. At the moment the amount of slop is pretty low but we need to be ready for the deluge when it comes.

Make sure the ram is upgradable. A lot of them are soldered on these days and you’re stuck with that amount forever.

It seems as if showing that the air defense systems are not working 100% is being seen as a threat to the government.

The world uses 102 million barrels per day.

And the article says they’ll be releasing it over the course of 120 days. Maybe it’ll bring the price down by a few percent, not enough to be noticeable.

It’s just not practical to store enough oil to make any long term difference, we use too much of it and it’s too valuable to leave lying around unused.

!general@activitypub.space, that one. Yep.

There is a convention of putting a FEDERATION.md file in the root of your project (there is a FEP about it but I can’t remember what it is, heh) which lists the FEPs your project implements.

e.g. https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/FEDERATION.md

There is no standardised API endpoint for discovering this info so basically you just need to lurk in all the dev spaces you can and watch what they’re talking about, stalk each other’s codeberg/github issue queues and PRs and just cope with the jank.

Yes theoretically you could have any type in there but votes are the biggest inefficiency in the system so I’ve only implemented it for them.

There are some nodebb forums that federate with us, which are intended for AP dev discussions - !technical-discussion@activitypub.space for example. Not very active. Also some Matrix channels, again not exactly humming. Everyone is pretty focused on their own projects, really.

There is a discussion but it’s an email chain between myself, Lemmy, Mbin, NodeBB so not really out in the open.

I’m thinking of using the normal OrderedCollection structure that AP has - https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-orderedcollection. An object of type ‘OrderedCollection’ with an array of ‘items’.

You’re right, to be more similar to the ActivityPub style of doing things the object should be a “type” of “Collection”, not just suddenly be an array instead of an object. I will migrate PieFed over to that instead.

That sounds pretty fun, I like your extremist take on things.

If you want to federate votes in an efficient way, consider doing them in batches, like this - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/fep-4248.md. Sending batches means building up a queue, etc which is a pain in the ass so you might want to just receive batches and send individually.

You can do nested comments more efficiently by doing a single query for all the comments on a post and then constructing the comment tree in Go, rather than using multiple SQL queries. It’s a bit tricky to code but you can copy PieFed’s code - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/68d6799be5c321f9abf84d136cafef6de6e3aafb/app/post/util.py#L141

The thing about doing age verification at the OS level is the user could just install a crack that rewrites the necessary code. It’ll take some heavy DRM type stuff to block that. Possibly hardware support, like a specialised TPM.

No way can that be standardised and then rolled out quickly. If they rush it then it’ll be some proprietary power grab.

The alternative is each website and app does it separately which will be spotty and provide endless security breaches.

It’ll be a shitshow either way.

18% is nowhere near high enough to be throwing around accusations like that. Seems like the teachers don’t know how to interpret the results.
