@girlonthenet I read your post[0] about failure modes of potential and actual dates, and it reminded me an article I read some time ago.

I've tracked it down:

https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/2025/may/01/why-dont-people-ask-questions-in-conversation

Thought it might be of passing interest.

Also, when I was a teenager I was told, loudly, forcefully, and in no uncertain terms by my girlfriend of the time:

"You *really* need to learn how to get along with people !!!"

So I found a book[1] to teach me exactly that, and now I *do* ask questions.

@harrysintonen Woah, what's the new office suite based on? Or is it brand new? Cool either way!

@rolle Kiitos kirjoituksesta! Mua kiinnostaa palata yhteen juttuun nimenomaan ton AI/FLOSS-keskustelun suhteen. (1/4)

@toerror @jens actually you do! it's just the IDE's own internal errors don't have it. which is quite funny to me. the cobblers children have no shoes

From the technical side anyone can spin up their own Lemmy instance and view all votes, but I'm curious at what the community's perspective on how "private" that is. I think Mbin already shows upvoters? Piefed allows anonymous voting. I also know there are sites which show all voting history, but assuming those are fairly disliked.

My general questions to the community: - Do you expect your votes to be private, or just not shown in the UI? - Would per-voter votes showing up on another aggregator platform bother you, even though your instance already shares them with other servers?

For context I'm the dev doing some two way bridge interop between atproto + Threadiverse, in atproto the votes/likes are generally publicly accessible, you just look at the users repo through something like pdsls.dev, they're readable and archivable by anyone. In my opinion this isn't that big of a problem since it's fairly hard to look at and discern (Ex all my votes: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:lmdkqemqrqnfiix72pyjhfey/social.coves.feed.vote). Ultimately trying to figure out if there's already a mutual understanding that they are public and we can just mirror them or whether they should stay hidden as an aggregate.

Efectes: els logs d'nginx van passar d'uns 50 MB comprimits al dia a gairebé 2 GB sense comprimir, i un dels bots d'estadístiques del servidor es va quedar encallat processant-los. Per a Mastodon, la càrrega va ser assumible.

Well they aren’t private and it doesn’t matter

Votes are not private and never will be.

There have been some discussions about whether Threadiverse software should only federate out the number of votes and perhaps some anonymised voter IDs, rather than information that identifies individual users. This would prevent vote snooping via sites like Lemvotes. However, even if something like that were implemented, instance admins would still be able to snoop on their own users if they so wished. So imo, it’s better to just accept that votes are public information.

Personally I don’t see the issue with it. My principle when it comes to voting is upvoting stuff I want others to see and only downvote things I don’t think anyone would want to see (like spam). So if for some odd reason someone is interested enough to check my voting history, I don’t care. What’s the worst that could happen? Someone on the internet disagrees with my votes? Oh no! How will I ever survive?!

As a side note, Lemmy’s developers seem to have a strong opinion that voter information shouldn’t be displayed publicly. For example, here’s an issue they opened in the Mbin repo. While I disagree with their stance on vote visibility, Nutomic has a valid point there: Lemmy doesn’t mark voting activity as public when federating it out, so there’s an argument to be made that other software should not display individual votes coming from Lemmy.

I don't expect much privacy on a shared public space like the fediverse. If I wanted privacy, I'd spin up a new profile every day/week, and use an external bookmark manager to save stuff

@jens @jk Weird that you don't get recursion detection in trace output in IDEs. Or in fact nice exception output in general.

not. at all. i consider anything i put here akin to standing on my nearest street corner during rush hour, shouting into the darkness

confused how anyone could think anything otherwise.

@aral Oh that is very cool, congrats on shipping ❤️

Qui hi ha al darrere? No ho sabem, perquè no s'identifica. El patró (24 hores sense parar, proxies residencials, ignorar el robots.txt) encaixa amb els crawlers que recullen dades per entrenar models d'IA, però no ho podem demostrar.

I’m updating the Small Technology Foundation site (and our other sites) in preparation of today’s mammoth Kitten release that’s taken me seven months to prepare and it’s quite lovely to refactor something you could previously only do in HTML (see the IDs and class name) into Markdown and have it just work. The whole reason for this crazy round of dev was to ensure that Kitten is as rock solid as possible as its the foundation of Catalyst and Meow. (This is just a little thing – Kitten’s an entirely different beast in terms of stability, consistency, and security than it was in April.)

PS. If you’re wondering about the <${FundUs} /> bit, that’s a Kitten component being instantiated in the Markdown. You can import them just like you can in JavaScript (and in the upcoming release, TypeScript) pages by including a script section in your front-matter.

@TheBreadmonkey so maybe my tinnitus is a faulty skeleton bulb?

Què buscava? Sobretot publicacions. Unes 155.000 visites van ser a contingut d'altres servidors del fedivers que mastodont.cat té en memòria cau, i unes 8.000 a contingut local. La meitat d'aquestes últimes eren publicacions ja esborrades, senyal que treballava amb una llista d'URLs antiga. No va consultar el robots.txt ni una sola vegada.

If you do happen to find an old lamp, give a rub, and a genie pops out offering three wishes, no matter how surprised you are, try not to yell "Fuck me!"
