Sweet! Now I don’t have to recursively write comments to explain the meaning of each comment

Yes, but windows is an entire operating system, with an antivirus included

Still, who pays 419$ for an antivirus?

On most, if not all, modern Android phones you can just unlock the bootloader from the dev menu. No rooting required.

I like jumping on the bandwagon as much as the next guy, but do you have any evidence of these accusations?

Is there a reason you don’t want it to be federated? This would require every user to make a separate account, just to access your community, instead of being able to join and post using accounts from other instances.

Additionally creating an instance for just a single subreddit/community seems overkill. Have you considered creating a community on an existing instance?

It honestly reminds me of the time 4chan stole Shia Labeouf’s flag, locating it from a livestream with only the flag and the sky visible.

Hrmm, I wonder who would benefit from perpetrating such a myth

But in the app they can fingerprint you better, allowing them to better identify the criminal scum using third party apps.

I agree, instead let’s go with NFT profile pictures

How are you so certain that they’re not on your instance? I see that your sign up form is open. There’ve been other reports that spambots have discovered Lemmy and are signing up on instances en masse.

Do they have an agreement with GitHub/gitlab/bitbucket? Using their consumer targeted services as a business is just asking for trouble.

Storing a headless repository on a shared filesystem is a perfectly valid solution, and something git was designed to do, if you don’t mind the lack of online interface. Although I’d personally prefer using an ssh connection.

This adds up to a huge fragmentation across what was previously a single community.

Unfortunately you’re right, fragmentation is inevitable when a community loses it’s home. It’s only been a few days since the blackout protest started, give it some time for the dust to settle. I expect only one or two of the new communities to really stay active for a prolonged time.

Don’t be sorry! That MacRumors article is based on this admin comment on reddit, it’s reddit contradicting itself.

IMO its a sensible default, as it basically indicates that the language of the message is unknown. The admin settings even has a warning that deselecting the “undefined” language will cause most content to be invisible to that instance.

If you’re running the scam yourself, why would you even use an AI to mimic yourself?

I like how they state the following:

As of July 1, 2023, we are increasing the API limits for our free API usage from 60 to 100 Queries Per Minute for those using OAuth authentication.

They’re making it sound like they’re increasing the rate limit, whereas they’re actually changing it from 60 queries per user per application per minute to 100 queries per application per minute. So if you had a 3rd party app with 1000 users, you’d have 60 queries each minute for every single user, now all those 1000 users will have to share 100 queries each minute (so that’d be 1 query per user every 10 minutes), unless the app developer is willing to pay up.
