Yeah you’re right, local neighborhood militia sounds much better /s

The police do a valuable job if you’re living in a functional society.

Once operational, the energy generated is cheap and will still be in demand

The sea should be marked as C considering that’s what you’ll discover when you get deep into it.

I don’t think you become the best tech CEO in the world by having a healthy approach to work. He is just wired differently, some people are just all about work.

It’s just a research paper, not a product. It’s about discovering and learning new possible methods and applications.

You could always ask someone to vouch for you. It could also be that you have open communities and closed communities. So you would build up trust in an open community before being trusted by someone to be allowed to interact with the closed communities. Open communities could be communities less interesting/harder for the bots to spam and closed communities could be the high risk ones, such as news and politics.

Would this greatly reduce the user friendliness of the site? Yes. But it would be an option if bots turn into a serious problem.

I haven’t really thought through the details and I’m not sure how well it would work for a decentralised network though. Would each instance run their own trust tree, or would trusted instances share a single trust database 🤷‍♂️

A chain/tree of trust. If a particular parent node has trusted a lot of users that proves to be malicious bots, you break the chain of trust by removing the parent node. Orphaned real users would then need to find a new account that is willing to trust them, while the bots are left out hanging.

Not sure how well it would work on federated platforms though.

but I don’t like the indentation crap

Do you not use indentation in other languages?

It’s not leak when it’s an intended and documented feature…

They are probably the most complex machines ever created by humanity though, and requires expertise across the whole world to build. Even if they had blueprints, it would take years just to get the manufacturing right.

Don’t get high on your own supply, as the saying goes.

Just wanted to point out that

if you scroll All, you’re going to see all.

Doesn’t work the same way on Lemmy as on reddit. Some instances will filter out most politics (something OP complained about) from c/all, meaning scrolling c/all won’t have you see all

Some instances, like programming.dev, hides political and porn communities by default, meaning you have to directly subscribe to see any content from those communities. So c/all isn’t all for all instances.

It’s the websites that requires all the memory, the browser can’t magically take less memory than what a website demands.

My pet tarantula is 11 years old and likely got at least 5 more years in her.

I’ll just assume you’re joking, even if it sounds oddly specific

3, about two lines per contributor

The only two people arguing against the change were both authors/contributors of is-number lol

It’s sandboxed, but still there. Most stuff should work as normal.
