Income tax
I keep my rig at my desk, so I wanted to avoid using a torch.

I use this at about 490 F
Maybe that’s still too hot
Maybe the fact that it holds that exact temperature for the whole session has something to do with it, now that I think about it.
That’s nice, dear
Maybe you can help me out. I think I always burn my rosin. The bottom of my banger always ends up black and then the taste goes way down and it doesn’t hit as hard.
Do you know what the best temperature I should set it to is?
Came here to mention them. Daily use for 3 years and only had to clean it once. Never got stuck
Don’t look at political communities
Programmers are not immune to fads or the network effect
That’s not true. IRC is a client-server system. Your messages go to a server and are “relayed” to clients.
It’s not a p2p messaging system
Run on, sentences make very, hard for others to understand the, point you’re trying, to make.
You can use periods. It makes it easier to grok
But that’s the situation currently anyway.
They are still the largest fediverse platform.
Like to your points
Someone in another thread mentioned that they would likely display ads near content from independent instances, and that’s a good point imo. They’d be directly making a profit off of private instances, which would be fucked up.
I hear a lot of talk of EEE too, which is a legitimate worry also. there must be a way to accept the first 2 Es without the extinguish. I’m hoping the admin community is thinking about that more than “meta evil” when defederating threads.
If you’re in the know, sure, but if the fediverse interacts with threads we could expose literally billions of people to the larger fediverse.
Maybe while the fediverse is still getting it’s legs defederating is the move, but I mean literally billions of people being made aware of the fediverse would be amazing.
That infosec post up some good points.
The issue I see is that defederating them doesn’t resolve any of the issues they pointed out. Meta is still able to see most information in the fediverse, their built in user base is so large, that it makes the fediverse look totally empty by comparison. I don’t think we realistically prevent much disinformation by walking them off (though we do prevent some)
I just think it’s such a missed opportunity to grow the fediverse. Like now we’re 100% certain that threads users won’t take part in the larger lemmy communities at all.
EEE is a real thing, but it’s a balance act. You can be embraced and extended without being extinguished as long as you do it carefully (I mean look at some of the open source projects of the past decade. Typescript, bucklescript, react, electron and even companies like GitHub, which M$ owns, but hasn’t been mucking up too badly)
Maybe defederating for now is the right move, so the fediverse has time to grow into its own, but I don’t think “meta evil” is a good enough reason to just block out potentially billions of potential fediverse participants is all.
I don’t think it does. ActivityPub is just a specification. The spec itself is under a very permissive license https://www.w3.org/copyright/software-license-2015/
I was talking about Linux specifically because it’s under the GPL license. Threads isn’t open source at all afaik, so it doesn’t really apply
Honestly it doesn’t even matter. If meta really cared about fediverse data, they’d set up their own unnamed server, make a bot account that just follows and subscribes to as much as it can. Nobody would know to block it, it’d just look like another user.
Well yeah he could, but he can’t retroactively apply that license change, so the Linux foundation would just keep rolling on with their own fork.
See that’s a good point. Facebook is going to get fediverse data regardless of defederating them. Most of this stuff is public anyway.
But displaying fediverse content next to ads w/o consent is kinda gross
I mean if you want to be all sensible about it, sure.
It’s just a tool. The real scam is that the 1% pay such a low share of their actual income (including capital gains)
