Report them to HR for creating a hostile work environment. They’re clearly showing disrespect for everyone.

At least for appimage, it doesn’t create application launchers. And it’s 50/50 whether the icon in the window list works or not.

I also build a lot of Docker images, and container formats throw a wrench in that if that’s the only way the application/utility is packaged. So I end up building from source.

Just not a fan of container formats in general.

I say that as a heavy user of Docker, but that’s a different use-case.

Let the hate of the crowd wash over me, but I don’t even like Flatpak, and I’ve got love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with AppImage as well.

Just give me a system package or a zipped tarball.

In recent years, have had to just get used to needing to build most projects from source.

I hate participating in what seems like a good conversation only for the content to get irretrievably nuked

Here lately, that’s less because of posts getting removed by mods and more because some tinfoil-hat jerkoff(s) keep spinning up disposable accounts, making a post, and deleting the account/content shortly afterward. It’s to the point I won’t even bother responding to someone unless their account is at least a week old, and even then, I’m wary.

I don’t see any threads recently nuked in News, and no recent modlog entries for you specifically (except an old one from 6 months ago where you called someone a pedo, and nope, I’m not digging up a slapfight thread that starts/ends there). You might also want to clarify which “news” community; I was only looking at the modlog within the last hour as described in the post here.

The post I think you’re talking about, “Cocaine ‘no worse than whiskey,’ would be ‘sold like wine’ if legalized worldwide, Colombia’s president says” was removed because it was old news (rule 5: Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days). That’s a long-established community rule, and it was properly enforced.

The only comment I see removed in c/News in the last hour isn’t from that post or by you, and was removed for “What the fuck?”. Considering the comment in question is:

…I think the mod made the right call.

Edit: Put quoted removed comment into spoiler tag with NSFL warning.

Just guessing, but for some people, their career/profession is their entire identity. For people in that group, retirement results in the loss of that identity with nothing to replace it. That’s probably terrifying to a lot of people.

TIL 4chan has an MBFC rating:

Well…that sent me down a rabbit hole. Thanks!

Would be nice if they’d offer downloads for the disk image. Or at least sell the disk image since I don’t need yet another Pi lol.

As long as you don’t spam it out to 3 communities at once every time, go for it.

In the past, I would have said “One device to rule them all” but then we got the modern smartphone which does all the things, but none of them exceptionally well (and definitely not ergonomically or frustration-free).

I’ve upgraded to a dumb-ish flip phone which is good for phone, texts, and music (has enough buttons i can key-map to have physical controls when it’s closed). Everything else, I’ve started preferring dedicated devices (e-reader, camera, my actual wallet/cards, etc). In a box somewhere, I think I still have my 1 GB MP3 player that will run for like 2 weeks from a single AAA battery. Would love to find that.

My old smartphones are also single-purpose devices, repurposed into HomeAssistant remotes, Emby controllers, VoIP handsets, etc).

Minitel was ahead of its time in so many ways.

7.0 Advertising

Lemmy.world is a free service, funded by donations and run by volunteers for the benefit of its users. As such, it is not intended to be used as a marketing channel for extensive commercial advertising or product promotion. Promoting or recommending products and services is generally allowed provided that the following criteria are met:

1. It is relevant to the community where it is posted.
2. It offers something of value to our users.
3. It is created for community engagement rather than being a one-way message directed at users.

Users or communities which primarily promote paid products or services, with little other engagement on Lemmy, may have their content removed and may be banned. This includes personal promotion such as a GoFundMe drive, OnlyFans page, or blog.

I can only speak for my own (non-Lemmy.World) instance, but I do not allow any kind of fundraising campaigns. They’re too difficult to verify they’re not fraud, and allowing any just opens the floodgates to having to verify each one.

Black Mirror. Should. Not. Be. A. Roadmap.

Cunk on Earth also did a similar bit with Beethoven.

Does Charlie Brooker have some kind of enchanted typewriter that can influence the world or something?

Yeah, not sure how long that’ll hold up for me, but for now, so far so good.

The rule-of-thumb used to be “look at the hands”, but I use a combo of focus, lighting, perspective, background objects (especially ones with text), color saturation, common sense (e.g. ‘could this even be remotely real?’), etc. The scary part is if someone would run that through a filter and present it like grainy CCTV footage, all that (minus the common sense part) would be lost and I’d likely be stumped.

This probably isn’t a super-helpful answer, but for the most part, I haven’t needed to use any (yet?). Dunno if it’s just me, but pretty much every AI generated image still just looks “off” and uncanny in a perceptible and slightly off-putting way.

That said, there are occasional false positives depending on the lighting, focus, and filters used for legit photographs. No false negatives yet, though.
