@torf The bug you're describing was reported before, but I've never encountered it or managed to reproduce, it seems to be very intermittent even for those who experience it which makes it hard to fix, but I'm sure we will, eventually. The 40 is not a hard-coded default.

@dukeboitans @Edent

@jk afaik that is also the reason why American eggs have to be refrigerated. The washing removes a thin waxy layer that keeps the egg fresh.

@raichoo it's a mix. Lots of people are using the white space syntax exclusively. Others in a mixed state with the other one, so mixing it with {}. Others use the new end markers... You know absolute freedom and silliness. Some disable the white space syntax and use the other one.

Even at work, for me, it's not consistent, something small some people put no {} others use () like on a .map, so .map() or .map{}, since now () also supports multilines inside 🤣🤣.

The rest is fine.

Are there any general recommendations for how to design the security posture for a program in respect to any 3rd party plugins you might allow the user to download?

Like, yeah, if a user downloads a plugin, they can now run arbitrary code within the program, and potentially do some harm. Should I just not fight it and hand the nuclear codes to the plugins, or should I be actually planning to somehow isolate the plugin from being able to do anything too ambitious?

Like, specifically we're talking about unvetted plugins, inside of a terminal-based app like maybe a web browser or something like that.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

This is in no way about blaming his victims. This is me being very frustrated at people, in positions of power or influence, allowing and enabling predatory behaviour and then later claiming to have been unaware. Those who are commissioning programmes. Those choosing which celebrities to book. Those giving status and power to clearly predatory people.

@adrienne before we wrote it, even!

@fesshole If you knew everything, you'd stop eating altogether.

@tommi @inthehands adding to my interest list now!

My favorite are the folks saying rebooting a server was so easy he should have done it himself. Clearly, the robot cannot be trusted with simple tasks but just happens to be perfectly reliable at doing all the things too complicated for me to verify.

What kind of code change do you imagine that serves the owner of the model?

@fesshole They don't care a hoot.

What is it?

Years ago Reddit had a sister site called Reddit secret Santa where Redditors could sign up to be matched with other Redditors as an online global secret Santa and you could write down your interests, likes/dislikes, hobbies, fav shows, movies, food etc.

It was pretty neat, I ended up with a lot of foreign nic-nacks and snacks because I would sign up for worldwide all the time

Arf non mais le niveau des réponses. 🙄

Mais genre vous croyez vraiment que le but de la taxe ce serait de protéger l’écologie ou l’emploi ? 🤣
Les mêmes qui votent ces taxes sont aussi celleux qui font (au hasard) le forcing pour l’IA, et qui signent les autorisations pour construire des datacenters de partout, qui vont détruire l’environnement comme jamais, et dont le but affiché est de licencier toujours plus de monde pour tirer toujours plus les salaires de tout le monde vers le bas hein. 😐️

Ce genre de taxe c’est juste du protectionnisme de merde et rien de plus. Ça sert juste à nous forcer à donner notre fric aux capitalistes européen·ne·s plutôt qu’aux capitalistes chinois·es quand on a besoin d’acheter quelque chose, mais c’est tout.

(Capitalistes européen·ne·s qui font produire tout ce qu’iels vendent en Chine depuis des décennies, au passage, mais bon vous étiez peut-être pas au courant. 😐️)

Sorry, best I can do to s Secret Satan
