That depends, do you have the “rich” status condition?

yes, he uses the hype investor cash that poured into the ai boondogle to cover his insane twitter purchase and literally bail himself out of his stupidity

This was mentioned in the write-up, the password manager didn’t autofill, but he was too out of it to notice at first

I think the main reason is because the vast majority of Lemmings are former Redditors so Lemmy is popular where Reddit is popular

Because some accounts like to spam on certain hashtags, I had the best results with muting an account the second I thought it was annoying. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t want to see their posts on my timeline anymore, which is what mute accomplishes

Oh! I see, you are using a mobile browser, that’s what let me astray

Programmers and designers call that sort of pop-up notification a “toast”. I’m guessing whatever app you are using (there isn’t an official Lemmy app right?) is testing out a 3rd-party library for toasts called Toastify. I’m guessing the dev was so excited to see it working that they forgot to remove the test before publishing

I wonder how many non-white, non-european women have endured this same treatment without a sound from the media

My speculations:

• “insecure from the start” - as in , the wallet was never that “cold”

• with that amount of money, it’s easy to imagine an “insider threat”

• the hackers could have gotten lucky and struck right when the company was doing legitimate operations on the wallet

• but probably it’s a towering mountain of incompetence, composed of the elements above and more

Hard to say right now. The article suggests that the banks are just trying to free up cash on their balance sheets. However, this could instead be an indication that they are looking for a “bigger fool” to take the losses. I personally think the bottom won’t fall out of Xitter until the tesla share price crashes. Elon bought some time with credulous fools with the ridiculous cybercab demo, but that can’t last forever. At that point I think the only question is whether SpaceX gets pulled down with all the rest of the musk ventures

Fair enough, I capitulated and I use spotify for podcasts now

Have you used Firefox recently? There are a few chrome only sites but I’ve been daily driving it for a few months and it’s mostly upside

I found this in the wastelands of Google: https://www.howtogeek.com/linux-distributions-to-breathe-new-life-into-old-hardware/

I read the guide and it seems pretty solid.

If it is not x86 is it the Itanium ISA?

You’re welcome!

So if you didn’t care about having to wait for the video to buffer on every scroll, it becomes an easier problem. I kind of think that defeats the purpose of a tiktok-style interface though.

I agree that you wouldn’t necessarily need to build a new algorithm, but like I said, it’s part of the smooth scrolling magic

I’m a dev but not very good at mobile.

I can promise you that a lot of engineering work went into making the tiktok scrolling experience so smooth. Part of the trick is having a good enough algorithm that the user wants to watch the majority of served videos.

Another huge part of it is having lightning fast content distribution and aggressive “prefetching” of the next videos in the feed.

I don’t want to discourage you but I also don’t want you to be caught off guard by the difficulty. Do you want to make this bad enough to give it your nights and weekends for a year?

ELI5: a database is the “memory” of a program.

Every piece of data that any software uses almost certainly comes from and goes to multiple databases.

Once the data is stored, you can execute “queries” to have powerful access to update many records at a time, read particular records based on their relationship to other records, and so much more.

Your bank balances, your purchase history, your emails, every part of your digital life is almost certainly spread across a constellation of databases.

Bonus Fediverse content:

Lemmy itself uses the Postgres database extensively. Posts, users, comments, votes and more are all individually stored in the database.

Mastodon also uses Postgres. If a post goes up on Lemmy, and a Mastodon server is federated with it, the Lemmy server will send out a HTTP request to the Mastodon server containing the contents of the post. The Mastodon server will use this information to write its own record of the post in its own database.

Regarding your question about VMs: You can run a database inside a VM, or give the VM access to an outside database via queries, or both! You might run SQLlite (a small and excellent embedded database) on the VM to track its local state, while also running queries against a large postgres database to synchronize with other services in the cluster.

It’s pretty standard to send keypresses to the backend before the user hits submit (otherwise search boxes couldn’t do auto completion for example)

You could maybe write an extension that tries to detect the difference between this and a ‘full submit’ (and block those network requests) but I bet it would be very unreliable

I don’t know for sure but I know their moderation is dogshit. I think they don’t want to face down the deluge of Nazis like we have had to here, they’d rather be a clique-y cool kids clubhouse of Twitter brainrot

Who is “we” and why do they get to decide whether other countries exist?
