There was a submission made about how few people donate to the Devs. I asked about transparency and some links were given that show some things. I commented that it’s not as transparent as it seems at first glance and they responded that it’s fully transparent. I asked them to clarify but they decided to ignore me. I see why the Devs get criticism.

I think you got the response we all expected you’d get.

I wonder why we don’t hear about open source anti-virus even though I think there are a couple of them out there.

You’re replying to the wrong person. I added some info over the difference between your comment and someone else’s acktually comment.

I don’t care either way; an approximation in MiB and MB is the same difference to me. The other person and yourself have got into a debate about nothing in my opinion.

24 kibibytes. I dislike the annoying difference between kiB and kB, etc, etc as I also think in kB and MB as the binary values because that’s how I was taught for many years.

Imagine hosting an instance if Lemmy had that many users. I can imagine it being a full time job.

What is MAU?

You will then have instances that abuse the system by allowing their users to quickly rank high, so just they can infiltrate other instances with high ranking accounts.

Why do you believe podman is more secure than root-less Docker? Please educate me.

I run root-ful and root-less Docker daemons at the same time on the same machine because there are limitations to what you can do without as root privileges. So where possible, containers run in root-less Docker and the lucky few that require root privileges run in root-ful Docker.

I know it’s technically correct but it still hurts a little inside to admit it each time.

I know the reason is because giga is an SI prefix but all the way through my education, 1 GB was taught to be 1024 MB, so I always want to use this instead of what is correct.

To be fair, the tech industry has been naughty with things like this. I know of two. I wonder how many others there are?

I believe that:

• The style of characters a user can choose is called a typeface. I think every piece of software calls it a font. I remember hearing it came from Apple/Steve Jobs.

• I believe the use of setup is incorrect. Setup is a noun, so it refers to an existing configuration. It tends to be used when running an OS or program for the first time though, which I believe set up is the correct term. Set up is an adjective and refers to the act of creating the configuration.

I’ve wondered if these were done due to screen space constraints or aesthetics.

Why are you working in personal time?

A friend and I created one years ago when we were at university made with 6 machines. We were running MATLAB simulations that would take over a day to complete on i3/i5 CPUs. Fortunately MATLAB and the simulation add-on package had been programmed to parallelize jobs, which reduced the simulation time down to just a few hours. This was done in a Windows environment with dual core HP machines with every RAM slot filled.

I can’t imagine homelab workloads benefitting from such a set up unless something like video/3D rendering can utilise it.

Read the original comment again. They didn’t state what this person is claiming at all.

And yet I’m the one who can’t read…

Anywhere where you’re a repeat customer is probably selling your data. Any service you repeatedly use could also sell your data. Unfortunately it’s just a way of life these days.

Who says that no-one is sucking up all of the Lemmy data right now and selling it to some entity? There is no way of knowing and there is no way to combat it.

You have yet to show where your statement came from

Linuxist… I’ve not seen that term before; I like it. I suppose it’s for the super hardcore Linux user?

Interesting you lumped them with the other two. XD

The only way I can see them serving adverts is by using submissions as the mechanism. But I assume there is no feedback to show how many impressions those submissions have made. So how can Meta sell those advertising spots without any data to flaunt to advertisement buyers and how do they appropriately charge them.

No one said such a thing. Where did you get it from?

I don’t get why they want to defederate without any experience of it either. Let’s see what Meta brings to the table. Maybe they’ll shine a light on the Fediverse and we get a more varied group of people on the platform.

Why are you only concerned about Facebook doing what you describe?

It’s weird that this is downvoted. Is Facebook the only villain in this world or something?

Where/how is this obtained?

I’m curious about seeing an entire list of defederated instances.
