It’s very simple. Buy your domain for the next ten years for under $200. Then find an email provider where you can bring your own domain. Namecheap has always been good to me. Maybe also Hetzner in Germany?

Hetzner provides email with their cheapest webhosting package at €1.60 a month.
Namecheap is a little more pricey than I expected. You pay $89.28/2 years with a promo code - Renews for $143.76/2 years

Oh God, it’s this thing again. People really read like this these days.

Read more than one word at a time.

Disagree. Defensive or offensive, you’re still killing people. It’s war.

It’s most likely a neutral statement.

I think you mean communities (subreddits), and that can appear that way with an instance (server) ban.

Hi, I’m part of the Community Team for Lemmy.World. We help with finding moderators, make sure communities are kept up, and make sure moderators follow the site rules.

To some extent mods are mods. There will always be people who disagree, vehemently, and some people who resent any rules or moderation at all.

I mention this because there are a couple things I’ve tried to do on our instance to address Reddit mistakes. First, I try to avoid having several large communities under the same mods. The mod who holds a grudge in !trees shouldn’t be able to ban you from !science. (Assuming those are both large communities).

This can be difficult, because you’d be surprised at how few extremely active people are willing to moderate even a tiny community. The other is that instead of putting out advertisements to recruit for mods, I try to draft mods. So our mods are not limited to those who seek out the position.

It’s likely the one most similar to Reddit, for better or worse.

Drawn birds?

Probably not a coincidence with the midterm timing. He just wishes he had done this three weeks ago.

So are the stock market claims false?

Okay, but can we not get local models banned, please? This is what openai and company are gonna use to say we have to pay them if we want AI.

Maybe this is the wrong post to start a comment with

I have made multiple videos lately

They’re trying to use the out that it was search bots, and not social media bots. Which is half true. But the social media bots also measurably dropped. Just look at the likes on Elon’s tweets before and after. They dropped by half.

And the social media drop was noticeable elsewhere too. So yes, search bots did in fact drop AND social media bots did too.

Good. It should refer you to real information instead of potentially making it up.

Yeah, but they’d likely still be using tools out of those data centers.

They did not say fake bot accounts were not affected.

They did clarify that they meant search crawlers and the like. Those things are not the same.

as long is you don’t YOLO the result to the lists for other humans to de-slopify for you.

(Or not de-slopify at all.)

There’s literally no one I trust more to handle llm code more than Linus.

He’s not going to pass off shit in his name. He’ll use it in the best possible way.

Lots of reasons to be anti-AI, but it’s not all black and white. It’s here to stay and it’s useful. (But we ain’t gonna spend 400 billion a year on it.)

I’ve heard there’s also fewer posts from Arkansas moms wondering about the dangers of electric vehicles.

And Elon’s likes are about half of normal.

Man, I do miss Thai Orchid from that neighborhood.

I haven’t found Thai nearly as good anywhere in the Midwest.

It’s not terrible. I would do the same as you before reading this post, and maybe I would after. I do think they have a point, though.

Mostly I’d watch it to see if it’s being used or not.

Maybe Jellyfin could come out with an option to make things semi-anonymous. You’d be able to just click it off, but it wouldn’t show you details unless you explicitly asked for them.

On the other hand, I’m very aware that if I were to use someone’s Plex that their “payment” would be the satisfaction of seeing their service used. I wouldn’t mind the stats they collect, but the fact that they collect them would be at the forefront of my mind.

It’s a pretty terrible one. AI is staying part of development forever.

There are problems, and there are better and worse ways to use it. Saying “no ai at all” isn’t much different than saying you can’t Google or use stack overflow. It’s pretty similar to the “don’t blindly paste code from stack overflow” problem in steroids.

The mass of ai slop contributions is a problem, yes. We need a better solution than just “let’s go back to how it was before”. We ain’t going back, and it’s a lazy fix.

That said, AI code used responsibly is nearly to completely indistinguishable from human code. This may serve to dissuade honest developers.
