So LLMs and layoffs aren’t the root cause, because there is no such thing as a “root cause” here. And maybe they don’t even turn out to be one of the proximate causes.

But if they’re not causes, they’re comorbidities.

Thank you, it's been at least a couple of decades since I last heard that. That Wikipedia page mentions rewrite rules but arguably should also mention mathematical induction.

"Why do you hate mathematical induction?"

@mcnado @megsouth I didn't realize that show was even remotely realistic. I live in a relatively rural area with a good hospital system, mostly thanks to Dartmouth I think, so my recent ER experience (appendectomy) was very good.

It's so sad that our country doesn't do better for everyone.

@lauren Someone was trying to install DDWRT and do the 30-30-30 correctly...

Instead of recommending “peertube” itself we should point to servers that have open registration

I’m generally an advocate for doing this for the entire Fediverse. “Mastodon”, “PixelFed”, “Lemmy”, “PieFed”, etc., are not places people can go to experience the Fediverse. They’re pieces of server software that let you stand up websites, just like WordPress is. You’d never tell people to check out “WordPress” when you want them to see some restaurant’s menu or to look up your business or whatever. We shouldn’t be doing the equivalent with the Fediverse.

@rachel This was inspired by the early days of video games, where the games themselves were arcade-style and didn't have any story, only a scenario, and the only way you'd get a story is when a bit of microfiction or a minicomic would be included in the manual, or there'd be an implication of a story in a TV ad... so, there's really no need for an in-game tutorial, my game is so simple, but I wanted to have that extra world-building element for fun.

New features

• Shared blocklists - these are like feeds except instead of listing communities to join it lists people to block. To to Account -> Blocklists to find this feature. Changes by the blocklist author effect all the people who subscribe to the list, causing them to block the list members. They federate, so you can subscribe to blocklists on other instances.
• Edit comments inline, without loading a separate page - wjs018
• Fediverse statistics at piefed.social/statistics
• 2-factor authentication (TOTP) - can be added to your account in the ‘Security’ page in your settings.

For admins

• Auto-ban based on the bans that instances you choose, with keyword matching on the ban reason. Go to /admin/users/auto_ban. Try putting ‘piefed.social’ in as the instance and ‘spam’ as the keyword filter. It’ll cut down on the work involved in running your instance SO much.
• Voting pattern graph on user profiles to help spot automated voting.
• Reset the password of any user.
• Lots of inauthentic behaviour reports for finding bots and serial downvoters, see /admin/votes and PM me for an instructional video. It’s a lot to take in but the video will explain it all.

API

• edit matrix user id when saving user profile data.
• scheduled post endpoints - wjs018

Plus a lot more bits and pieces, browse the list of recent releases in the 1.8.x line at codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/releases for details.

To upgrade from 1.8.x or earlier

git pull
git checkout v1.9.x

Then,

./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker2.sh

When some big, messy, complex system breaks down, there is •never• a single smoking gun.

See https://how.complexsystems.fail item 7: “Post-accident attribution to a ‘root cause’ is fundamentally wrong.”

It’s never enough for just one thing to go wrong, or just one component to fail; if a single point of failure •does• in fact bring everything down, then that in itself is a sign of a multitude of other failures.

I believe you are looking for PeerTube. Or Loops if you make more short form videos.

I want to make some videos, but I do not want to add them to TY, I am looking for an alternative, unfortunately I know Vimeo, but this is not what I am looking for.
