I’m actually surprised that a few lemmy instances allow minors to sign up. I don’t get it. It’s always a liability and platforms tend to become dystopian in the name of “protecting the children” and to comply with additional laws and requirements…

Honestly I’m now thinking of migrating from lemm.ee now that I learned of it allowing minors, this instance could turn into shit because of it. Example: “we’ll defederate from any mature instance because the kids can’t see boob”

People saw this coming from miles away since the rumors came out of reddit going for an IPO.

Question is why people keep getting outraged?

I call BS on OP, just another ragebait made-up story.

Forced restarts haven’t been a thing for years, unless the OP somehow badly setup their machine.

Exactly, I feel the mindset of ‘line must go up or you die’ is really ingrained in people’s minds. Even if everyone leaves for something else lemmy will still be here, slowly getting better with updates and time.

Doesn’t matter how many people use it. As long as even 1 person wants to use lemmy it will be here…

I can change china for the US in that sentence and it will still make sense

They can sue DeepSeek as much as we can sue openAI for scraping human generated content… this time though we got the model for ourselves, and not to squeeze profit

I don’t have chance to dig all the details right now but here’s the stuff

Madison/Suop is a small influencer, who at one point a few years back got hired by LMG. It didn’t last long and she stopped appearing in videos, and then wasn’t ever mentioned again by LMG.

People eventually suspected she wrote this anonymous Glassdoor review on 2022 and had quit.

Now when the first GN video on LMG came out, people pressured her to tell more about why she quit, and she came out with full details. . TLDR there was lots of bullying, harassment, sexist environment, unreasonable work pressure, etc.

Then LMG promised to investigate this whole thing and provide results. Fast forward a few months they posted these findings.

The keywords here is “unsubstantiated, no evidence, unfounded”, etc. It’s a very vague response and LMG can’t say a clear yes or no because there was no evidence. Many of the abuse was verbal and not recorded anywhere, and because it had happened a few years back it could have been lost or removed…

So we as the audience are left with almost as much ambiguity as when this all started… If you compare both sides you can see why I still side with Madison’s story:

• Reasons to believe Madison

  • She has gained nothing from this other than more harassment by rabid fans
  • We have individual vs a business with millions of dollars and an army of parasocial basement dwellers
  • She has kept a very consistent story through many years
  • Her claims have not been disproven
  • There’s a few tweets from other employees, and a leaked recording of harassment at LMG back when Madison quit, the only pieces of hard evidence are in her favor

• Reasons to believe LMG

  • You think linus is your friend
  • You think the “not substantiated” equals “no”. I could go burn a house, but if I make it happen like an accident arson won’t be substantiated…

Any shit thrown at LMG is good news to me, they deserve it after how dirty they treated Madison back then. They never properly addressed that either in the eyes of the audience…

I hated him less when he was just a reptilian, and not a tech bro reptilian

Status: Hired

There’s a million ways to do anything when self hosting, so I’ll just talk about what I have and if you interested just reply.

I only host a few services for now: Invidious, CloudTube, Redlib, FreshRSS. All of them as docker containers, this helps in quickly updating them and isolating their configurations. I have a few TB of disk space on the server itself that I can access through SMB3 shares, so I don’t have a proper NAS yet. Probably will do so at some point when I need it.

As for hardware, I’m using an HP mini-pc with

• Ryzen 5 PRO 3400GE
• 16GB DDR4
• 256GB boot drive (NVME), 2TB storage drive (HDD)

This mini-pc can literally be opened by removing 1 screw, so hardware changes/cleaning can’t get easier. I installed Debian on it

As for remote access, I use twingate instead of self-hosted wireguard. Mostly because I’m using my ISPs router and they like to reset it whenever they want. I’m also not confortable opening ports on the router. Twingate covers my use case completely so I never went back to this. I can map a custom domain to the server’s IP and this meant I just switch on twingate when I’m out and can access it seamlessly.

You have the link?

The only thing I wanna see is the ElonJet guy back in a large platform, so that everyone gets easy access to the muskrat’s location. That gets him specially angry as we’ve seen many times

I’ll just wait for the Witcher 4 patch 2.0, which will release after 3 years from the original release date and will actually contain the advertised game.

Yeah, Google pays other companies lots of money to have its search engine enabled by default. That’s what the lawsuit argued, so I’m not sure how separating chrome from the company will change that…

I use a self-hosted invidious instance, and despite the recent issues with Google trying to block them mine works behind Mullvad VPN.

I use the web app on desktop, and Yattee client on my phone/ipad

Ads can’t federate

Never underestimate facebooks capacity to enshittify. If they want to send ads as posts they will make a way. In principle the fediverse should oppose for-profit-line-go-up fuckheads, it’s always the same bullshit.

I’m sure he’s taking full responsibility going to sleep in his mansion tonight, with his big salary and bonuses, which will probably see a nice bump from this.

I have already looked up most of what you recommended, and I arrived at the same initial conclusion…

• OpenRGB doesn’t list support for my Gigabyte mobo, or XPG ram (unless I’m reading this wrong). I need this to stop the default behavior which is rainbow puke
• AMD adrenalin only lists 3 distros, and none of which I’d like to use (I’d prefer linux mint LMDE)
• Plus I haven’t even talked about the apps (office for starters, then itunes+icloud which I use to sideload apps)

Linux doesn’t have several programs I use to control my peripherals, the mobo RGB profile, and GPU fan control from Sapphire. It also doesn’t have a proper AMD adrenalin as far as I’ve checked, nor firmware updater for SSD/NVME, and the list goes on and on. I also heard controlling high refresh rate displays on linux is a nightmare.

If I want to use the gaming PC I built to its full potential then I need windows…

The article is still dumb though, anyone left behind using old hardware should not go through the pain of forcing win11 to run. They all should switch to linux
