Yes, this is because of the recent Technology Connections video

My car charger can boil water really fast

That title might be the best effort I can pull off.

Other stuff:

Technology Connections on Mastodon: https://mas.to/@TechConnectify

This channel is amazing. It’s accessible enough for me to send to friends outside of tech, and it ramps up in a way that you can watch only as much as you need to

You mentioned being frustrated at Plausible. What did you not like about it?

I haven’t tried Plausible, but it seemed popular

Sounds like they joined a large group chat as a member

The FBI, the documents show, gained access to conversations in a “courtwatch” Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.

Good point, I didn’t see the list of which instances were still up when making the meme. A number of fairly large instances were still up

It might be cool to put together a list of what each instance depends on, for reference during future outages. CloudFlare, hosting providers, etc.

I appreciate that different teams are doing different things, I’ll have to remember to drop by during the next cloudflare outage 😄

This other post has some discussion: https://lemmy.ca/post/55386786

While the downtime was most active, most of the top instances were down. Lemmy.ml, feddit.org, discuss.tchncs.de and behaw.org were all up. You can use https://lemmyverse.net/ to browse things and the ones offline all show a “content error” in lemmyverse.

Here is a screenshot that @straycatstrut@discuss.tchncs.de took during the outage

I’ve had a smoother time with Bluetooth since switching to Linux than I did on Windows.

On Windows it would randomly disconnect, or I would need to manually forget and re-pair the device every few months. Now when I turn on the device, it reliably reconnects to either my phone or the Linux device, depending on which one it was connected to last.

Maybe it’s distro / device dependent

Cellebrite builds the forensic tools law enforcement uses to get data from locked phones. As reported by 404 Media, the leak came from someone who managed to join a private Microsoft Teams call between Cellebrite staff and a prospective customer. During the meeting, the uninvited participant took screenshots of what appears to be an internal ‘Android OS Access Support Matrix’ and then shared them on the GrapheneOS discussion forum.

😄

Maybe they had trouble hitting that atom, and decided to surround with many other U-235 atom before trying the split

programming of physics joke

Yes

This sounds more like a ship of Theseus style question

Is the person with amnesia still the same “person”. I assume the question would also need to enforce the type/extent of the amnesia

Part of why we put this together is so that I could send it to people when I struggle to explain 😅

Imo it might be easier to collaboratively build keyword lists. It’s tedious to tag posts manually, and it becomes impossible to do it effectively after the user base grows past a certain point. You can auto-remove any post that isn’t tagged, but a lot of people dislike that kind of filtering and only a few communities would implement something like that

In case the tags don’t work from Piefed, I’ll try as well

Yup, and meanwhile a lot of the spam we manually remove after users report it, should be obvious to detect with automated tools. For example, when a “user” is posting the same link in every comment, or posting the same length comment in many unrelated subs 24/7 every few minutes, etc.

it’s annoying

Some perspective from the mod side

The ‘Removed by Anti-Evil’ isn’t a new thing. It used to be the admin side spam/site wide rule breaking content remover.

• It acted like Lemmy’s purge function. When something is removed on Reddit, it’s still visible to mods. Sometimes after something extra awful had been removed, anti-evil would come along and clean it up.

• It would be an indication that something is against site wide rules. If the mods don’t take care of reported content that’s clearly against sitewide rules, and anti-evil has to step in, then it’s a sign that the subreddit might need to be doing more

Recently though it’s been coming along and removing comments before any of the mods can see what the comment was. That makes it hard to take any further action since the mods can’t know what the problem was. So far when that’s happened, the thread had nothing controversial and the user’s history was normal and tame, so I have to assume that the new version of anti-evil has a few screws loose. It’s not even that they’ve raised the threshold for what’s appropriate, since awful content still gets through about equally as often.

The only reason why Reddit’s moderation tooling is considered better than the threadiverse is the standard regex based automod rules. The other reddit tools continue to be hot garbage

Turns out that people are actually buying them

Oh wow

Sorry, I missed the “sold” text on those. Would you happen to know why people collect them?

It is possible to message people on Karrot, but I don’t want to risk a ban by sending links
