Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is “429 Too Many Requests”, after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it’s handling

But that’s what the marketers are selling, “this will replace a lot of workers!” and it just cannot

Persistent apps running in the background. One constant complaint many have is background apps that should be left alone killed by battery-saving stuff. One of the ways to prevent this from happening that devs have used is persistent notifications. Killing this option fucks up lots of apps that are supposed to run in the background. I guess i’ll stay away from Android 14 for now.

I hope this breaks the games on Deck so that people notice

In EU at least they’re required by law to have working unsubscribe links that actually unsubscribe you, otherwise they risk getting huge fines, i understand that in California things are not too far from this but no idea about the details

Tangential partial offtopic aside: Unless i’m misunderstanding, you’re setting this up behind your home router and allowing it on your various devices using a VPN. Am i right? Any details, or even better, guides, on how to replicate this setup? I guess the DNS records on Leng are to be able to call services inside your home LAN by name instead of IPs, which is a nice quality of life upgrade.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

Troy Hunt, the Have I Been Pwned person, has a very informative analysis of the breach that was not a breach, turns out nothing actually “leaked” from Linkedin, it’s a mix of scrapped and generated stuff

It gets worse

Clippy Reborn!

Their recent-ish AMA doesn’t show that they care about moderation much

Here’s a laundry list from one of the Beehaw people, and apparently the devs don’t have any of this as a priority

Dude had an anonymous birdsite account with about a dozen followers, all they did was retweet stuff critical of the government, and somehow the government identified him and sentenced him to death over this. How did they find this info? Twitter outright gave it to them, therefore they became accomplices in a death.

Seems to be VERY tech related.

VERY understandable, requiring a GPU would limit it’s application and spread, i hope a good GPU-less solution is found eventually

I am saving this post for the future, informative! Thanks!

Little Bobby Tables strikes again

Now seriously, people forget that Lemmy is alpha software, and Kbin is even younger

It IS intentionally down, post by the admins

I insist, we need a nomadic identities thing on Fedi, you create your user in one instance and now you can log in on any federated server on any of the ActivityPub services, maybe that Zot protocol thing or something on those lines
