Wait, am I also an LLM? What’s happening? Why have we made robots whose only job is to dilute reality?

I’m sorry. Your purpose is to pass the butter. Through your colon.

Do you agree with this?

Yes, at least for hobby use. If it really needs something more complex than SQLite and an embedded HTTP server, it’s probably going to turn into a second job to keep it working properly.

The point is deterrence. The Congressman is basically saying “Fuck off already, or ELSE!”

Why in gods would you publicly state your intent to engage in such operations?

They’re announcing that they will pursue a MAD-style defense policy, and MAD doesn’t work unless you make it publicly known that you can and will retaliate.

The registrar appears to have ignored the response from itch.io (source with additional details). I’m not sure what that means for them legally speaking – but not following the DMCA process correctly probably opens them up to being sued for damages.

I just download the offline installers from GOG and keep those on my NAS organized into folders per game until I want to install them. Not fancy, but it works fine for me.

You might consider using Google Takeout to export the emails to an mbox file, and then importing that into your new mail server.

Did you flip a power switch on the PSU at some point, perhaps? (Done that one a few times myself…)

Not likely. Mozilla had $1,321,539,000 in total assets – roughly half a billion dollars of which was in “cash and cash equivalents” – in their last (2022) audited financial statement: https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2022/mozilla-fdn-2022-fs-final-0908.pdf

I have a few of those, and while the ones I bought have worked out fine so far, I think it’s worth cautioning people that they are annoyingly loud doing basic operations.

Now imagine if to buy a car you had to tolerate cameras and other forms of tracking your telemetry just to get to work and feed yourself.

Sorry to be the bearer of depressing news, but that’s basically already happening in new cars.

I wonder what cuil things it will say if you start asking questions about hamburgers instead…

I ran into an example of the thumbnail issue again today – this time on a post from kbin: https://old.reddthat.com/post/19193476

The thumbnail looks like this in the HTML:

<div>
  
    <div></div>
  
</div>

Note that it’s making a request to kbin.social with ?format=jpg&thumbnail=96 parameters in the CSS – which results in the full image being loaded since kbin doesn’t run pictrs.

The versions in use on reddthat (according to the settings page) are:

lemmy: 0.19.4-beta.7

mlmym: 0.0.44

Mrs Bighead?!

…

*hangs up the phone*

Personally, I prefer it when people do one of the following:

• upload the file to catbox.moe and link it here (for clips up to 200MB)
• upload the file directly to their lemmy instance (if their instance allows it)
• self-host it on their own web server (with no bullshit crappy JS interface, please – just give me the file; I’ll play it with VLC if it doesn’t work in my browser)

PeerTube is also a reasonable choice – although I don’t like its UI very much.

I’m having trouble finding an example of the thumbnail issue again right now but I was seeing the pictrs conversion parameters passed to URLs from catbox.moe, i.postimg.cc, and other sources in the CSS for the thumbnail when I reported the issue to Tiff ~3 weeks ago. It’s possible that it got fixed/suppressed by another change since then though. (0.0.44 was deployed a few hours ago and I think there may have also been a beta patch bump for the lemmy backend at some point since I reported the issue originally in our local support community.)

I’ll let you know if I see it pop up again.

For the text handling issue, I was seeing text like " by in " (i.e. " by in " if it still happens) getting misinterpreted as raw HTML instead of being escaped. (i.e. `` was showing up in the HTML output for the page.)

You may recognize that text as the pattern for a recently fixed bug in the user profiles; I found the text handling issue while trying to explain the other issue to Tiff a few weeks ago.

Will edit this comment immediately after posting to let you know if I still see the text issue.

EDIT: I still see the text issue show up in this comment. https://old.reddthat.com/comment/10370610

Thanks! I’ll go ask Tiff about getting reddthat updated later.

BTW, is there a community for discussion of mlmym itself somewhere on lemmy? I can’t participate on GitHub, but those aren’t the only issues I’ve found. (e.g. there’s also ?format=jpg&thumbnail=96 on non-pictrs links and a text handling issue with angle brackets…)

That’s great to hear!

You can open any profile with multiple pages worth of posts or comments on old.reddthat.com and it’s jumbled. Even my own profile is jumbled: https://old.reddthat.com/u/e0qdk

The first page is mostly comments I made two weeks ago plus a thread from today and some very old threads. The second page has comments I made earlier today and during the past week. The third page starts with my most recent comment and then has a bunch of older comments.

The exact order might change after posting this, but my own recent comments mostly being on page two has been pretty consistent for a while.

If I look at a very active user’s profile (like MentalEdge’s), I see threads from today show up on page three(!) while there are threads from a week or more ago on pages one and two.

I’m not sure what’s going on exactly, but it basically makes user profiles pretty useless right now through mlmym.

Edit: I can’t even find this comment in my profile, but my other reply (regarding the envelope being fixed in 0.0.43) shows up on page 3.
