The eyes are closed as if to say resignedly

“Goodbye cruel fluffy world.”

No problem! I can confirm that we received a verification from a University of Toronto email address.

I’m seeing some reports on this post from people who are suspicious about its legitimacy. It looks to be the same format as other Canadian university studies I’ve seen, and the fediverse is the right place to find people for such a study. To me it looks legitimate.

Maybe I can do a verification from the admin side? If you can send us an email from your institution account to support@lemmy.ca, I can leave a comment confirming that you are indeed from UofT.

You could also post this in !reddit@lemmy.world

Did they also promote the attribution removal?

Why do the same thing every morning when I could spend that time on something else?

I don’t think this is the same thing as a loss of attention span

There is a popup explaining how it works when you install it. I asked something similar and the dev replied saying that they are looking into alternatives that don’t upload the image anywhere: https://lemmy.ca/comment/22876710

Tldr from the pop-up:

• it uses litterbox by default for the auto delete, and catbox when that fails
• it needed to add uploads since apps aren’t allowed to programmatically upload to search engines
• it recommends against scanning anything sensitive since Google/Bing are keeping it too

I don’t have the latest version since I got the fdroid release, but the GitHub release mentions a number of things that are now processed locally (ex. Text, QR, phone numbers)

That’s such a cool photo

YouTube began as an angel-funded enterprise working from a makeshift office in a garage. In November 2005, venture firm Sequoia Capital invested an initial $3.5 million,[20] and Roelof Botha (a partner of the firm and former CFO of PayPal) joined the YouTube board of directors. In April 2006, Sequoia and Artis Capital Management invested an additional $8 million in the company, which had experienced significant growth in its first few months.

On that note, I should replace the AI generated community icon.

edit: Done, the icon is now the sushi bird. It works on two levels, since it also looks like a thumb nail 😄

Welcome!

For the rules, could you use different formatting? A lot of users use mobile apps, and some of them don’t format markdown the way Lemmy does. The spoiler tag in particular doesn’t get rendered in a lot of them.

For example, this is what I see in Boost:

Perhaps you can do something like

## Rules

1: 😇 Be Nice!

- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: **friendly**

2: 👶 Keep it at PG

Which will format like this

Rules

1: 😇 Be Nice!

• Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly

2: 👶 Keep it at PG

You could also shorten some of them to make it more likely that people will read them. For example, moving this to the bottom of the rules section, or taking it out entirely:

Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanantly banned from posting.

I also liked the old sidebar’s guidance on “complete stories” because it sums up what this community is intended for and differentiates it from “comics” and “memes”. I don’t know if it needs to be stated explicitly, but you could potentially include it right at the top with the description line.

I’m also happy to help out if the moderation load gets too much to handle. Feel free to add my LW account if at any point the team could use more hands: https://lemmy.world/u/otter

There is deepwiki, which can give you a similar overview. You will need to do the subsequent animations yourself afterwards

We are not running Anubis, although we do block a large number of AI/LLM companies through IP addresses. Each time we block a new one, it makes a noticeable difference in the performance graphs.

https://lemmy.nz/ and https://quokk.au/ are running Anubis, and so those admins may be able to offer insight :)

Weird, it loads instantly for me. Maybe you have some settings that are blocking the page?
