Just from experience as an admin reviewing applications, bots are nowhere near replicants. 98% of bots can’t make an application without using obvious phrases like “I’d like to engage in meaningful discussions”.

Registration applications (which are pretty much required on all lemmy servers now) have stopped about 95% of them. Some still get through of course, but the admins of every server are doing hard work to prevent it.

The other 5% are quickly discovered and reported, and they can be banned (and their content removed), at the click of a button.

The LLMs are getting creative with how they answer, and people also are applying with half of the responses LLM based, and half real. But its still not hard to spot them when they give all the same predictable answers.

Its interesting because applications are how the old forum-internet used to keep out bots and trolls, and its still the best method to this day. There’s still work to be done, and it’s a never-ending battle, but I think overall we’re winning and doing better than western surveillance platforms like reddit, youtube, or facebook.

This ^orb will destroy you

Minimo launcher is my new fave. Its simple, decreases addiction, and surpasses Olauncher in features.

Lizze Magie modeled the game of Monopoly as a critique of capitalism, showing how private ownership (of land or other scare resources) always result in a single winner. Public ownership / socialism is the only answer.

ScreenZen, with specific times ranges allowed to use given apps.

Unless they are forced to, yes. There are so many local scandals with these US military base countries also, especially in Japan, SK, Italy, and the UK, where the troops commit various local crimes like rapes and murders, but are then sent back to the US to avoid being punished.

Its always funny when people try to impute the imperialistic actions of the US on its enemies. The US as the west’s leading country is world capitalism’s cop since the end of WW2, and has ~800 military bases outside to project power outside its borders.

By comparison, all other countries combined have only ~30.

The guy was basically walking around telling everyone he was a communist, getting into debates, handing out leaflets

This is pretty silly, as its widely suspected that he was a US intelligence asset, and these were thinly veiled actions to build some public communist credentials while actually serving the US empire. All the offices he worked out of were FBI and CIA fronts, all his associates were staunch anti-communists, and he was a US marine.

He was in all probability not the assassin, but one of the cold war pawns chosen for sacrifice that day. IMO it doesn’t really matter who the low-level assassins were anyway, Allen Dulles ordered the hit and the coverup, and that’s the more important story.

Didn’t take long for Israel to murder their way out of the cease-fire.

I wrote up a preliminary thing cause I got bored today, lmk if you have any suggestions:

Looks legit, especially for cold brews.

Like you said, it’s hash based, so the first time someone posts a video, you just download that from YouTube official and check the hash, no?

Yep, that’d be the case. But also for that service at least, it only stores currently active / well-seeded torrents. And the main issue is that people aren’t creating and seeding youtube videos as torrents. That would require some effort and a push from the datahoarder-type communities to start doing that.

When a user submits a new association between a Magnet Link and a YouTube tag, what verifies that that’s actually the appropriate file?

In one sense, its not really a problem, since torrents are static data. Incorrect files would not only look wrong (and not be seeded as a result), but have different hashes than the youtube ones. But the service which hosts / shares these magnet links would need to source the uploaders, so that their torrents could be removed if it turns out they’re spam.

I run a csv-based torrent service, but after many years, I’ve been the only one to really contribute to the data. There the process of adding data is tracked via pull requests. Any other service though which allows ppl to upload magnet links / torrent files would need to have a login system / tracking to prevent spammers.

I like this idea, but I wish someone would create a torrent-based project based on yt-dlp, and in particular a browser plugin that checks a torrent search site or index to see if that youtube video torrent exists.

Internet archive isn’t as fault-tolerant as torrents, and also wouldn’t be able to handle so many massive files.

This to me is the most exciting thing. And not just solar, but also modular nuclear power, fusion power, battery tech. The PRC is at the forefront of this green revolution.

Yep. Dsub is pretty much in feature-complete, maintenance-mode, that is years out of date and hasn’t even updated to material 3 UI’s which the others have.

I check the others every few months or so, but they’re all still either buggy or missing so many features compared to dsub, that I have to switch back.
