someone reach out! I feel a house lawyer in the making.

trying to do my part; always on the lookout for non {dot}world communities to comment in.

not disagreeing with your overall premise, but do clearly labeled bot news aggregator communities need much interaction right now?

I read many of the articles on bot feeds and will sometimes comment on ones that I think should get a few more eyeballs. others do the same and I appreciate their prodding as well. for my usecase lemmy in its current state has been absolutely wonderful, and I am enjoying watching it evolve.

But the signature can’t really guarantee the truthfulness of the content. I could make a signed post that claiming that the Earth is flat.

important point, but in a federated or distributed system, this signed posts/comments may actually be highly beneficial for when tying content directly to an account for interaction purposes. I have already seen well-ish known accounts seemingly spoofed on similar looking instance domains.

distribution of trusted public keys would be an interesting problem to address but the ability to confirm the association of a specific account to specific content (even if the account is “anonymous” and signing is optional) may lend a layer to of veracity to interactions even if the content quality itself is questionable.

edit: clarity (and potential case in point - words matter, edits matter).

just tell them “yes!”. they will figure it out :-)

wow, man. like, such a load of buzzkilling stuffed shirts.

when I finish work on my finite improbability generator, hook it up to a Bambleweeny 57 Sub-Meson Brain (with integrated atomic vector plotter) and fire it up with a nice hot cup of tea, these respectable physicists are definitely not invited to the party – no matter what the hostess says.

I donate every. single. month.

When I asked for sources it started backtracking very quickly

oh, god… its more human than I realized. :(

the ups and downs are battling hard on the parent comment. gotta admit, I had to think for a few seconds to get the gist of it, but its actualy pretty slick and perfectly snarky.

edit: only thought would be that an infinate selection of random data sets would be somewhat evenly split between compressable and non-compressable, but if you add compression structure, it tips the balance firmly into “file size increases” territory.

very cool little comment.

things get weird when we include “all possible states”

time dilation ftw!

what, no love for CodeLite when working on smaller projects?

this would actually be pretty interesting. any details?

anything qanon related will make your brain implode faster than a carbon fiber pressure hull at 12k feet.

edit: this is not a good thing

(older thread and things move quckly on lemmy, but anyway…)

important to always remind people that the devs have given us an agnostic tool. how you use it is entirely up to you.
