Probably a background character since everyone took the good characters already 😔

Mostly OC, with the occasional shitpost

  • I think there’s a good chance people will leave once Lemmy integrates with Threads. So if you time things wisely, you can probably get a good base of users to swap their coms to Sublinks.

    What’s your planned policy for karma? I know users hated it, but as a reddit mod I found it super useful to determine between a misinformed user and a troll. If your plan for mod tools is as good as you’re saying, I wouldn’t mind going back to modding.


  • CSAM is still unfortunately an issue on Lemmy. Just yesterday I had to contact an admin of the 2nd largest instance directly to get a post removed that had been up for several hours. Worst of all, it had more upvotes than downvotes. I do applaud the admin for taking action the minute I notified them, but it should never have been able to get that far.

    Also, some of the issues involving Lemmy developers really remind me of major Minecraft servers back in the day lol. There’s just an inability for the “helpers” to do much problem solving because of the lack of tools, and absolute reliance on the person at the top to take action. Even then, the person at the top doesn’t always have the skill set necessary to solve the issues that arise.

    I look forward to seeing how Sublinks goes, but without a good reason for users to migrate it could be dead on arrival.



  • I messaged a user who kept posting dead bodies and their response was:

    “I’m sorry” to say it but there’s likely going to be a whole lot more of this posts very soon as famine is reaching critical levels in Gaza, so you might want to consider staying off the internet. Because I’m going to raise as much hell as possible about it.

    Dude wouldn’t even use the NSFW tag, and is only here to ignore rules and cause problems.






  • Quote from the github faq:

    Why is this project suddenly back after 3 years? What happened to Intel GPU support?

    In 2021 I was contacted by Intel about the development od ZLUDA. I was an Intel employee at the time. While we were building a case for ZLUDA internally, I was asked for a far-reaching discretion: not to advertise the fact that Intel was evaluating ZLUDA and definitely not to make any commits to the public ZLUDA repo. After some deliberation, Intel decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on Intel GPUs.Shortly thereafter I got in contact with AMD and in early 2022 I have left Intel and signed a ZLUDA development contract with AMD. Once again I was asked for a far-reaching discretion: not to advertise the fact that AMD is evaluating ZLUDA and definitely not to make any commits to the public ZLUDA repo. After two years of development and some deliberation, AMD decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on AMD GPUs. One of the terms of my contract with AMD was that if AMD did not find it fit for further development, I could release it. Which brings us to today.




  • I think the last paragraph OP posted really highlights the niche risk it poses. Nobody is going to use it against you, but a state actor could use it against a specific target like a politician or military to develop a more accurate assessment of information they already have been collecting.

    The GrapheneOS part of things feels a little baity. I switched from Brave to LibreWolf a year ago over similar privacy concerns, but ultimately all my biggest risks come from breaches that happened before I was even using Brave. Same thing with all the phones I’ve had over the years.
