The “mod” is the same user that made the post, he removes comments on every single post
3900x gang checking in, I have not found a justification to replace it yet because I don’t want to upgrade the board and memory.
Found out I’m going to have to find a way to remotely rebuild 5 switches stuck running firmware from 2018. They’re so fucked we’re going to have to go into their pre boot environment and wipe them, then reinstall the new OS, then rebuild the configuration on each.
Obviously this can’t be done during business hours, but the catch 22 is if something goes wrong when we try to do it we can’t get support until business hours anyway. It’s a pickle.
Eh, it’s mostly a liability thing. Cameras make insurance companies very happy
There have been occasional interactions with real Scottish folk taking exception to pages, and the administrator has responded in a dead-pan fashion.
This is just…. Trolling taken to an artful level. Truly beautiful.
My specific use case is an IT professional that needs a lot of screen real estate but would prefer to live a more nomadic lifestyle. I’ve been toting portable monitors for a while and it works OK, but if something like this negates the need to do that it’d be awesome.
That’s why I’m saying it’s a niche product, but the thing is they aren’t marketing it as anything else, and the price is ultimately pretty reasonable for brand new tech.
Edit: ima stupid. The “it” I’m referring to here isn’t the apple vision pro, that’s dumbassery. I’m referring to another headset called visor that will start shipping next year. In theory.
I can see a good use case if they make a decently functional lightweight headset that can replace multiple monitors, particularly for traveling
Normally I would agree, but the company developing the hardware are the guys that make immersed, which is the desktop integration software all the other VR headsets on the market are using. So if anyone is gonna make anything decent, maybe it’ll be them?
It seems good in theory, and comes in at like a quarter of the cost of apple’s monstrosity.
It’s also pretty niche, targeted at professionals who would use it to enhance their workspace than gaming.
Yeah they pay into the system but get no benefits
I hope you’re right but don’t think you are
Well boy have I got something for you to look into
No it’s okay if it’s only for the other
According to this single source, which disagrees by a huge margin with every other polling source, and who to their credit acknowledges that in the first paragraph.
🤷♂️
This happened a while ago but the irony is just so palpable
This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly
Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.
The comment that got me banned from a half dozen communities
Edit: changed post to use Imgur link instead of downloading a file
What a bunch of fucking babies, lol
Opinions wanted: defederating with reddit repost bot instances
Update: so, the responses this far are almost universally that these bots have been blocked by users of the community. There is also a general disinterest in defederating, which is on brand.
You guys wanna do a poll or something or?
I’d like to lead my thoughts with a quote from the admins regarding bots within lemm.ee:
“Bots must not be responsible for the majority of content in any community”
There are two entire instances that immediately spring to mind, zerobytes.monster’s b0t user, and lemmit.online. Their content is quite literally 90% bot content with 0 engagement, and they spam constantly.
Now here at lemm.ee we generally don’t defend from stuff, that’s actually why I prefer this instance. Yes, you can block the bot users and that solves the problem, but hear me out:
These bots ruin the experience on Lemmy for new users. They spam so many posts, attempting to block them from a mobile app will usually crash the app. If you’re a new user coming to Lemm.ee sorting by all, you see tons and tons of empty posts.
Zerobytes is particularly egregious because it doesn’t even repost actual content, just thousands and thousands of links to Reddit posts. It’s a spam instance, period, and I feel strongly about this.
Lemmit.online isn’t quite as bad, but it’s an entire instance dedicated to spam reposting everything from Reddit. All the posts have zero engagement, and the comment value is gone so everything decent gets buried.
Yes there are ways around this on an individual user level, but then you’re creating a context where there’s even less engagement in the vast majority of “new” posts.
Anyway, thems my thoughts. Repost bots are stupid, one that drive traffic to Reddit are even worse. Thoughts?
Difficulty logging in on mobile browsers?
For whatever reason when I attempt to login on firefox or chrome from my iPhone 11, I get the infinite spinning circle. Anyone else experienced this?
