The point of making of open to everyone was so they’d have other traffic to hide their own secret communications amongst, right?

That read like a TFTS story with no punch line
That thumbnail is a good one for !veryrealtechpics@lemmy.world
It has been suggested the name “Stan” is a portmanteau of the words “stalker” and “fan”, though it is unknown if the name was chosen with that intention. The term “stan” has since become an internet slang term for an extremely obsessed fan of something or someone and is derived from the song’s title.
I think the problem is that people use “algorithm” to mean “curated social media feed”, whereas it actually refers to a kick-ass prog-metal band
There’s also UntrackMe which does similar things on Android
I think the hard part would be keeping it up to date as instances change
the answer given by the watch was not generated by AI in the strict sense but “by grabbing public information on websites on the Internet.”
So it’s just doing the same thing that Google’s “AI search” does where it copies the joke answers from reddit?
It’s not a repost if it’s in a different community
Just pick up a cheap, secondhand mainframe
Given that I recently read the intro on Codeberg (which I think is the main public Forgejo instance) and it was very pro-copyleft, I’m surprised this wasn’t already the case! Good news, though.
Feels to me that being able to link what people like/dislike to their comments and username is much more dangerous than just being able to downvote all their comments.
And I’d hope that in this new suggestion an admin would still be able to ban the user even if they only knew the anonymous/voter ID, though that’s probably an interesting question for OP.
I guess that can happen now anyway as the bad actor can just create their own instance with as many fake accounts as they like. Ultimately it’s still on other instance admins to block the dodgy ones either way.
whilst doing nothing to protect them
Well it also takes away a tool that harassers can use for their harassing of individuals, right? This does highlight the often-requested issue of Lemmy needs better/more moderation tools though.
Single developer prioritised his life over supporting an increasingly complex project, I think
Oh wow, I guess both of the HP-UX users will be gutted to read this!
How many IA-64 machines are still running at all? I never knew they even made that many in the first place!
For the same reason that people use newpipe or invidious instead of the youtube app or website: a better experience. The kind of people who use the official client aren’t going to be moving to be fediverse anyway!
Summit is great, and the developer seems really responsive
Maybe that bug report was the motivation for the collaboration! Or maybe the level 1 support aren’t aware of unannounced business decisions.
