Elon Musk says users on X, formerly Twitter, will lose ability to block unwanted followers, eliminating key safety feature
  • brad brad 1y ago 100%

    What in the actual fuck? Does he have to collapse the ambling corpse even further so he can discover why the ability to block existed and then re-invent it but shittier to convince himself it's necessary?

  • Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time?
  • brad brad 1y ago 100%

    If it's ever something you want to try, it's one of the easier servers to self host and there's a lot of helpful resources out there. There really isn't any coding involved outside of editing a few configuration files unless you want there to be.

    This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.

    One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.

    EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I'm happy to be corrected on that, though.

    So Elon's a "visionary" who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!

    Leaves and nothing else

    If it is not a leaf, it is not present in this image. I can assure you with a level of confidence you are unlikely to ever see again that, contained within this image, no item that is not a leaf is present. It simply shows only leaves. You may say to yourself "But how is this possible? Only leaves? Surely there must be something else!" but you are wrong, dear reader! No matter how deeply you scrutinize this image, leaves will be the only object that emerges. Perhaps, as a result of my astounding confidence, you think that perhaps there IS a non-leaf object present in this image and my forthright enthusiasm about this fact is simply a ruse to misguide the gullible would that only the truly remarkable would share knowledge of it. To that I must say that, while clever, it is not the case. I must, at this point, really put my foot down on this subject. It is leaves and nothing else. If you came here for something that isn't a leaf, you have been misguided.

    This is pretty fucking banana sandwich. Very impressive and may even help you understand compsci a bit better. Here's an AI generated summary of the video: > In the video "I Made a 32-bit Computer Inside Terraria," the creator shares their remarkable accomplishment of constructing a fully functional 32-bit computer simulation within the popular game Terraria. They utilized the game's wiring mechanics to create complex circuits and successfully developed a computer capable of executing instructions and storing data. The video mentions future plans to create a simplified version of Terraria within the game as the next milestone. The project is open-source and can be found on GitHub for further exploration.

    It honestly feels good. I have been mentally divorced from reddit since they doubled down on their API fuckery. I enjoyed my time there but, at this point, I don't have the energy to move anywhere but forward. I'm glad to have stripped Reddit of my content. Here's to starting another life. I hope we can make it a good one.
