Oh! Yet another thing I didn’t think of. I’ll start trying that.

While I don’t have choc (I wanted choc switches) I did take the time to print choc-like keycaps for MX switches, because apparently 3d printing and Etsy are the only way to get those (for some reason).

I don’t know how people tolerate keycap profiles like DSA

this is really cool, I did not know about keymapDB!

The letters in between keys make sense to me (press both keys). I’d never thought of doing chords that way before.

I’m confused by the vertical in-between keys though. Like how are S and W pressed at the same time physically?

Yeah I wish there was a way to contribute to the hosting with torrent-like seeding. My phone can seed a torrent, but its not going to host an instance.

1 like = seed for 1 month seems like an interesting model

Celebrities are going to be shocked when they hear about email

The “front page” of most instances are not interesting to average people or to professionals (e.g. local gov that wants to go open source, like those switching to Mastodon).

Part is lemmy’s hot-sort is basically broken as a ranking, another part is bad language filters, another part is that major communities here (fediverse, Linux memes, star trek memes, science memes, etc) are off-putting with in-group jokes. Its a hard fix.

For standard notes, its got an auto-export plaintext file option on desktop. Were you wanting two-way editing of plaintext? (e.g. Auto export and import)

If we serve licensed content over ssh or HTTPS it’s still licensed. Protocols don’t change the legal requirements of the data. Warner Bros will still sue if one of their movies is hosted on a server using the activity pub protocol.

What? I’m saying every federated copy must legally must have the usage restrictions. Just cause it’s copied doesn’t mean it can go into a for-profit LLM.

it can apply across all of them, for example that’s how copy-left works

Sure, but it’s still true that there are legal protections we can add that make it not fair game for Lemmy. At best it would be unfair-game (illegal scraping of Lemmy)

It’s not fair game for for-profit bussinesses training LLM’s. That’s part of why Reddit made the move; so that companies would need to pay Reddit for access to the data for legally training models

Yeah, sorry if I’m not great at communicating. That’s exactly what I’m trying to point out when I said:

Even if we don’t federate with them, Meta can still harvest the data so we should add these protections regardless.

As opposed to a facebook-controlled server being the top search result for Lemmy.

I see why that’s confusing so I edited my comment just now

I think we can give facebook/threads the bad end of the bargin IF we have a data protections.

You know how powerful copy-left was for open source? I think we can do the same for Lemmy servers. We can have users agree (formally) that the data on a particular server cannot be used for training llvm’s advertisements, marketing profiles, etc, and make it legally binding.

Even if we don’t federate with them, Meta can still harvest the data so we should add these protections regardless. Maybe there is already something like this and I’m just unaware of it.

If we do add these protections and we ensure that the largest instance (e.g. Lemmy.world) is community controlled, I think it could work well for bringing more content to Lemmy.

I feel dumb for having to ask but what exactly is “active users half year” vs “active uses monthly”?

Is half year just mean one or more comments/upvotes in the last 6months?

That’s unfortunate. I’ve always had a positive experience, and I don’t even have an ergo keyboard (yet)

Got a link to your introduction?

I mean yeah, but I do like knowing who and in what way.

Pease consider the opposite; if a fork is needed at some point in the future, we need people who are familiar with the codebase. It would be, for example, much better for 3 of 4 contributors to be sane than only 2 of 3.

AFAIK the NSFW is actually part of Activity Pub (e.g. its bigger than lemmy).

To fix this, I think Lemmy should adopt a system like hashtags or flairs. This would allow anything, like spoliers, or a market communities adding #sold, etc. The app displaying the posts can choose what to do with them (e.g. filtering out #nsfl)
