A Verdict Has Been Reached in the Microsoft vs. FTC Trial in c/xbox@lemmy.world

[–] Trifictional@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago

Unsuprising.

I was following this case all week and the FTC really embarrassed itself. If this injunction was granted it would have been even more s suprising than the CMA coming out of nowhere to block the acquisition.

Apps no longer connect to lemmy.ca API in c/main@lemmy.ca

I had to re-login on voyager, my account had mysteriously disappeared from the app this morning.

I do wish there was a way for admins to send a notification to people when they revoke login tokens to avoid confusion. This will almost certainly happen again at some point.

Turkey must be able to join the EU before it allows Sweden into Nato in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

(Defacto) Dictatorships don’t belong in the EU.

We have our hands full with Hungary, thanks.

How does Lemmy/Mastodon/Fediverse store videos and images? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] Trifictional@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I think this could be a ticking DOS time bomb.

Someone manages to spam upload massive files to the largest Lemmy instances could wipe out a ton of smaller ones.

Not to mention scalability wise this seems like a nightmare… eventually the largest Lemmy instances will have petabytes of media data with 100s of gbs coming in per day, giving other instances no chance to sync with them.

I think the system architecture needs a significant review. This won’t scale.

An island is a mountain mostly underwater in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

And a continent is just a really big island.

Therefore a continent is actually just a big mountain.

Does lemmy have porn? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] Trifictional@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Porn is literally what drives technology innovation.

Porn on Reddit was probably a good 10-20% of all it’s traffic.

As history has shown, a lot of the features that come to Lemmy will be added because porn. Embedded videos for example.

And as far as I can tell it’s just pictures right now.

Meta joins the Fediverse in c/memes@lemmy.ml

[–] Trifictional@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yea but the difference is most instances have ethical reasons for banning certain content.

Meta could randomly decide anti-meta content doesn’t belong on their platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is already the case.

Are we defederating from Threads? in c/main@lemmy.ca

[–] Trifictional@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

This article has been circulating around the fediverse and I think it greatly illustrates why it's so important to defederate from large corporations before they can get a foothold. It's about so much more than just them getting our data.
