So it’s basically the standard platformer formula going back three or more decades?

Those people were correct.

Literally none of this is my problem. I do not give two shits what other people’s children do on the Internet.

we as a society do need to do something to prevent children from being able to access pornography

Yes, it’s called “parenting”

Yes basically all of our machines are Linux.

Absolutely shocking that there are some power users and admins in here defending this because they are weirdly hostile to the idea of user privacy on the fediverse.

So your argument is that meaningless internet points are more important than user privacy? I just want to make sure we have that on record.

The quickest path to enshitification of the fediverse is precisely this kind of large scale scraping and data mining. There are extremely simple ways to avoid this but the collective admin cohort has decided they like this tiny bit of internet power over innovation, because innovation is a tiny bit more difficult.

Vote manipulation only matters if votes matter. Just make down votes placebo or get rid of them entirely. There are other engagement metrics to use for sorting. Just make votes a small portion of a bigger algorithm and it dilutes the problem away. On the other hand, it seems like a ton of people on here outright refuse to consider that this is a problem, and are I stead choosing to live with their head in the sand.

Either way, right now public voting does nothing to stop vote manipulation, it just gives the sockpuppet and astroturfing accounts great feedback to target certain demographics.

The piefed implementation was a great compromise imo, and the only reason it was abandoned was idiotic forum politics. It did exactly what it set out to do - provide a layer of protection against large scale data mining and long term storage, and added a significant barrier to vote stalking, while still leaving mechanisms to ban voting agents.

Definitely called this. Can we have private voting now? These people are scraping the fediverse and the current state of things is a privacy nightmare.

At first, it will probably work. But you will likely lose access after a few days and your servers will be scanned for exploits, so make sure your shit it up to date.

Source: hosted an XMPP server which was summarily banned after 2 days of access from China and then probed/attacked repeatedly until I took it offline.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/systemd/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus systemd Linux.

You can still do that. Idk if it’s device specific but I do it all the time on my S24

I wil say that the gen 1 slides were clumsy and early units could be broken by forcing them in backwards. It always felt like the part which was the least well designed. I like the new magnetic interface but I agree it’s kind of an odd thing to have a minor quality of life update be the top line.

More than that, “software engineer” has been drifting towards “software technician” for a while now. If you don’t have any additional physics, math or engineering specialty on top of software skills, things are pretty crowded. Anyone can learn to write decent software. It’s really never been a traditional academic topic for the most part, and AI is definitely making that worse.
