I just hope whoever owns the .ee domain keeps it renewed or passes it to someone else. .film didn’t and because it had traffic on it those domain name vultures have it now and want a ridiculous amount of money for it

Didn’t the .world admins reverse course on the piracy thing? I could have sworn I read a thread where they talked about not blocking it anymore

Thanks! I generally try to avoid .world comms myself when cross-posting, not because I think they’re being toxic like .ml, but just for general health and decentralization of the Lemmy-verse

But with asklemmy, it’s a bit of an odd spot, there was !ask@lemm.ee I was starting to crosspost to but ya know, .ee shutdown, so they’ve moved over to !ask@piefed.social but uptake has been very slow IMO even compared to when I was starting to crosspost to the .ee version, maybe it’s a federation issue?

So now I’m trying to go for a “little bit here and a little bit there” approach lol

For .ml’s shittyasklemmy though !shittyasklemmy@lemmy.uhhoh.com is my go-to

Part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms because of the behavior of the .ml instance admins to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate.

Even after something like ~15 years of exposure to XKCD, I still get one of 10 thousand’d

Yea, average time is something like every 5-7 years for hardware refreshes, so we’re right on time lol

Lol “goat harassed”, time stamped and everything lmao

LMAO, you’re not alone, most of my hardware is still on 1gig even though my ISP is providing 2.5gigs to my pfsense box. I upgraded the WAN port for it and then “getting around to the rest of it” for ~6 months now 🤣

Piefed has gone from being rarely if ever even mentioned at all to, in just the last few days, being mentioned hundreds if not thousands of times a day in threads on virtually any topic, makes me highly suspicious.

You make interesting points, but for this specific thing, it almost certainly has to do with the .ee shutdown which was announced just a few days ago, apparently PieFed has fantastic comm transfer tooling so that’s why it’s probably been exploding in discussions since .ee has a number of large comms that are trying to figure out their next steps

I crossposted it to !dota2@lemmy.world

Because of .ml comms boycott

This is crossposted

OMG YES +100 for What We Do in the Shadows

I still need to watch the latest season of the show though lmao

Prob a comm in the line of !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works , but expanded beyond just Tankies/Genocide deniers. Somewhere for people to post collected documentation, screenshots, modlog entries etc. and collaboration

When Management™️ demands the app “Do AI” because “it’s the hot new thing”

DING DONG BANNU

oh and also, seriously, does anybody want to come to Candy Mountain with me? I found Candy Mountain!

but just handing it over isn’t really appropriate.

Well I would hope, if they were open to it, they would have internal discussions with the main mods and maybe some sort of vote amongst their user base and/or giving those who’d rather not time to delete their data before anything changes hands

Is transferring it to someone else in the cards? I have an LLC intended for my own future instance plans, but I’d be more than happy to take over .ee under it to prevent the loss of another good Lemmy-verse instance

I bet it was the backlight, they always cheap out on the LED backlight strips on those cheap TVs. Easy, but delicate fix (you have to basically teardown the entire TV, panel, light filters everything)

Username checks out LMAO

OpenAI’s malfeasance with regard to energy usage, data theft,

I mean that’s why I call them silly folks, that’s all still attributable to that corporate greed we all hate, but I’ve also seen them shit on research work and papers just because “AI” Soo yea lol

Aside from the few people on Lemmy who are entirely anti-AI

Those are silly folks lmao

most people just don’t want AI jammed willy-nilly into places where it doesn’t belong to do things poorly that it’s not equipped to do.

Exactly, fuck corporate greed!
