@Daojoan I did this, after about a year of talking myself into it. It felt really scary at the time, but my hope was that it would either encourage him to fire me, or we’d continue working together at a rate that made me feel a lot less resentful. It turned out great! (If I have one regret, I should have gone for 35%.)

The only data center I support is the library!

DAMN YOU HELEN, NOOOOOOOOOO😭😭😭😭😭😭

'Activists have stormed the site of a Microsoft datacentre being built in Amsterdam, as the backlash to the social and environmental harms of the AI boom spreads across Europe.

Protesters from Geef Tegengas, a Dutch direct action group, clashed with police while breaking into a construction site at Westpoort, Amsterdam, where some members climbed a crane, lit flares and tied helium balloons to equipment.

[...]

Big tech and government are racing ahead with large-scale datacentre development despite significant public concern about the impacts on local communities, natural resources and other industries,” said Owen Espley, campaign coordinator. “Many datacentre developments are planned with limited transparency or scrutiny, while communities across Europe are being shut out of decisions that will shape their local environments and futures.'

Can someone let me know when I need to update hasitpoppedyet.com

@SinclairSpeccy @central Quite hard. I bought the PS to play Destiny (1&2). Changed to PC after a year or so 😉 And gave up on D1.

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.

Me: I went shopping earlier, needed some cooked meats for lunches.

Friend: What did you get?

Me: Well, first I got the melting ham

Friend: The what?

Me: Then the spinning turkey

Friend: are you having a stroke?

Me: Then there was the chorizo looking at it's own reflection.

Friend: Where the fuck do you go shopping?

Me: The Salvador Deli.

Me: Put down the cricket bat.

@thomholwerda @catsalad What do you use now? Any good recommendations?

@davidgerard Thanks, David. Good illustrations, OK, but you've got to have a good eye to spot the right ones!

fedi instances should, at random, pick one emoji per day on the timeline to zoom in to engulf the whole screen when hovered over

And a note related to that:

“Why did you stop following them if they hadn’t fallen into the ‘AI’ trap yet?”

Because the “AI” turn is almost always preceded by a steady increase in fascist dog whistles.
