If money counts as a freedom unit then yes, probably (maybe)

Ok so you’d literally be making a regular Lenny post to some particular community on some particular instance in that case, right?

I’m a little lost. You mention hosting content on any instance, or on GitHub. How does that work? And if your content is elsewhere what is Lemmy doing? Authx?

Some of the instances have a community bent to them. Slrpnk and beehaw come to mind most immediately, but there are lots of others that are focused on gathering a specific niche of humanity and getting them to interact with one another.

Back in the old days (ie 2020) we called this “writing out requirements” and it was generally the way that devs knew what they were supposed to do.

I think Maid Marion from Disney’s Robin Hood basically invented furries.

She’s French, so probably thinking something dismissive about American cheese.

Voyager is mobile-first, but can be run as a webapp frontend that you can host locally (out of a repo or docker container), or set up for web access. If it’s just keyword filtering you’re after you can also use ublock origin rules to do that (in fact there was a lemmy thread today talking about it somewhere) You can set rules like

lemmy.ml##.post-listing:has(.post-title:has-text(/trump|elon|musk|biden|kamala|rfk/i))

and the content will simply not render.

I’m with you 100% from the privacy and cybersecurity perspectives. That said, if they can be solved (e.g. at some point there will simply be no need for any more training data, and computers will be fast enough to do all the fancy stuff locally), I’d vastly prefer having an appliance do my housekeeping chores than a cleaning service.

Use the Meta defense: as long as you don’t seed then it’s fine.

It’s so easy. Just be too lazy. Dead inside also works.

I like it for content discovery, but it feels weird to upvote bot posts. When I see something interesting enough to comment on I do try to see if there’s a similar article in a better community already or make cross-post.

I doodle incessantly. Like whole pages that are 20% notes, 80% doodles. I had a teacher in middle school who got mad because it seemed like I was constantly distracted (true) and had me stop, but then discovered it was 10x worse if I was not doing something with my hands. Meanwhile my most recent boss looked over at my pad during our first in-person meeting and said, “ah, so you have ADHD too?”

I love Technology Connections, but i do have watch at 1.75X or else it’s too long form for me.

My desk is littered with post-it notes and papers, as the act of writing something down is usually what helps to “lock” it into my memory for a time. Unfortunately due to the ridiculous number of to-dos I usually have at any given time it makes me look like some kind of crazy note-hoarder.

This gives me Old Internet vibes. Glorious.

A global FOSS day would be awesome. In addition to giving gifts to the authors and maintainers (and maybe Paterson and others would agree to no fees for one-time donations on that day or something), think of all the other new holiday traditions we could start…

• cookies in the shape of Linus or RMS
• decorations made from “that box” we all have of extra parts and cables
• rhyming flame wars on every listserv
• riveting games of (token) ring-around-the-rosie

What else?

Maybe it’s time for a FOSS general strike.

Keyword blocking keeps me on voyager on desktop. Unless I’m making a new post (which I don’t like the voyager interface for) and then it’s back to the web UI

I’d be into it. But I wouldn’t be devastated if it didn’t happen.
