How private do you consider your votes in the Threadiverse?
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.

@cypnk Very cool.
@ajroach42 So it's like this. design of how electricity and magnetism move around 3d physical metal objects is one of the fundamental building blocks of the modern world. In order to design things that work, we don't compute using the old paper and pen method now, we use computers which simulate the behavior of the structure we want to build using fairly brute force math, just lots of very simple equations solved over and over, much like LLM. As with LLM, this can scale up to lots of computers if you have the right tools to do that. The dominant technology for this in applied physics and electrical engineering of high speed electronic devices has for decades been for profit blood sucking parasite SaaS companies who charge you *per processor core* so that if you want to use YOUR OWN on-site infrastructure to scale up, you have to pay 100x higher rent to the parasites to deploy on 100 cores. Licensing is frustrating and expensive, and it's still a nightmare to use.
Then Amazon comes along and decides they want to own the quantum cloud, should such a thing ever exist. So they throw vast amounts of money at the space, literally tripling peoples salaries overnight to walk away from their life to go move fast and break things in the Amazon empire Pasadena.
Those people find that having these blood sucking parasites extract rent from people trying to just solve equations from the 1880s using simple algebra is fucking up their moves fast and break things plan.
So they decide to spin up a free open source alternative and throw their internal resources at making it awesome as fast as possible. It is then instantly adopted by a bunch of move fast and break things Amazon people who drive it to get better very fast, and now all of a sudden it starts to spread in academia and government where people find they already have in house infrastructure spun up for this idiotic LLM stuff but you can also use it for this, and suddenly instead of paying a ton of money for a shitty broken thing, you have a thing that's 100x more powerful that costs zero dollars and is built on modern work flows that are a lot less clunky than the shitty thing it's replacing.
So in an insanely short time, an insurgent technology is coming in and totally blowing up the worst kind of parasitic landlord software and it's not a VC backed startup or a hippie open source idealistic project, it's just a bunch of super turbo corpos who believe in nothing trying to move as fast as possible. Their leftovers are our tech revolution. It's literally possible to build foundational industrial standards on this stuff, which can immediately scale up to whole nations and industries with the right push in the right spots.
@dirtwizard666 That's sick as hell.

That's a heck of a rallying cry.

UPDATE: The fix turned out to be to simply remove "-cpu host" from my invocation. "-cpu host" appears to be banned on Windows, but omitting -cpu entirely is allowed.
I think what I"m suppsoed to do here is figure out which of a hundred or so x86_64 micro variations I have, like there's some specific string that corresponds to the exact i5 I have, you can get a list of the strings by running `qemu -cpu help` but I don't know how to figure out which one is correct
But it lets me say nothing. OK
@mcc I think this is so you can "teleport" a VM between hosts. You can't change the CPU features once the guest has started so you may want to offer a restricted set so that the running instance can be moved to another machine without compatibility problems.

@dirtwizard666 I don't think I know enough about engineering to understand what I'm looking at, but your enthusiasm is infectious.

There was a good jobs report today. Suspiciously good. I suspect it was supposed to come out before the election, but some embedded apparatchik in the agency didn’t check his calendar (or didn’t know how).

Motorola has announced their new high end flagship phone including upcoming official support for GrapheneOS as an OS option.
Motorola Signature 27 will be the first Motorola device supported by GrapheneOS. More devices will be supported in the future.
@GrapheneOS lol, $1600 and filled with genAI malware. No thanks. I need a $300 noAI phone. Will check back later.
@ajroach42 just rewatching the 'animes made by a literal cult' series from Mother's Basement.
@Craigp Paper Will did a deep dive on media produced by cults a while back, and mentioned a couple of anime.
I also really dug his overview of north korean media.
wellp looks like another fucking AI crawler bot swarm has descended upon https://sockpuppet.band/ so that's fun
I wish AI crawler authors a very "get a fucking life"
@ai6yr @EugestShirley @Dougfir
They should do what a lot of homes on the NC coast do: put the house high up on stilts, with only the carport or maybe a small guest-room at ground-level.
Of course, that won't do much if there's heavy debris in a storm, but it does give you a lot more margin when the flooding is gentle.
(I'm also imagining coastal towns of the future with elevated roadways and gondola-lift transit...)
@woozle @ai6yr @EugestShirley
There are towns along the Mississippi River that got moved from the flood plain to the bluffs that never flooded. Unfortunately for California coastal homes, everything higher up has already been built on.

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.
