Thanks for sharing, this made me smile. Also it warms my heart to hear how you are making tech accessible to this kid.

Many of us take it for granted but I remember how my dad used to go over to family friends in his free-time to help with computer stuff. I feel like I was too young to learn but it did set an example for me.

Uh oh… Forgot about that! Please don’t tell Secreta Secretorum officials!!

Just putting here Invidious instance link, an alternative youtube frontend: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=sCr_gb8rdEI

Edit: added a mention of what frontend

I played it, enjoyed it, and had no idea what the hell is going on.

It was fun because I went in with the expectation that it’s bizarre and has a certain cult classic reputation.

Well, atleast they explained how they “fixed” the problem.

Got to love those “all good, problem solved/went away” - posted 5 years ago

Instance administration is also quite time consuming and is also based on volunteer work.

The vast majority of content on lemmy will be inaccessible to an instance who is under complete anarchy / unmodded.

There is the fediseer project that helps instances block such instances.

If you spin up an LLM farm instance it’s guaranteed to be blocked in many of the big ones - making your instance a lone island.

It’s your instance (lemmings.world) admin.

This… This is how fediverse works though… You are also on an instance run basically entirely on volunteer work.

If “we quit” there is no fediverse. On top of it all moderation tools are not mature enough yet.

You’d rather have your data scraped and sold? Or pay to use a platform like this?

Just thought I’d crosspost this interesting question.

Please don’t create a bot account that is not flagged as a bot. There is enough malicious activity that you might not see because mods/admins are doing their job.

There is no need to increase the volunteer work these people do.

I’ve also been looking at FP but I believe there are some issues of getting one outside of Europe.

Linux Mint and 3060 - no problems here either.

I’m sorry I can’t recommend any factful books, but the old fictional “Fahrenheit 451” is kind about that and I can recommend.

In case you don’t know it: It’s about a fictional alternative timeline of US where books have been banned and the protagonist is a guy who is part of the system of eradicating those “remaining, filthy and evil books”. In this timeline the term “Firemen” has become the opposite of what you know as Firemen, although the protocol and equipment is similar.

My absolute all time favourite sci-fi book series is John Scalzi’s “Old Man’s War”.

I can’t recommend this book series enough. Kept me up several nights because I couldn’t stop reading (and suffered for it at work).

Scalzi added a lot of humor too and it’s brilliant.

I believe many instances defederate lemmynsfw.com simply because instance admins don’t want that legal responsibility and don’t have tools to keep an eye on it.

It’s been there for quite a long time though, just incase people here were not aware.

Bit late seeing your account is already 2mo old but nevertheless: welcome to the fediverse :)

No worries, glad you found it!

What’s your country? Maybe we can help

We even have an official lemmy community for joplin! [email protected] (it’s linked on their website)

Maybe that was the one I’ve originally seen. Not sure which one :D
