Now you’re just moving the goal posts. You claimed the article was AI generated and assumed it was talking about a separate entity also called Matrix, when neither of those things are true. I also didn’t ‘just quote something’, I quoted the above article.

But fine:

• Web3 and Automattic funding;
• Status.im funding.

The article shortens venture capital to VC. It also didn’t confuse the Matrix Foundation with a VC firm of the same name, it’s talking about Element (formerly Riot). Like, the article says this in pretty simple English, I’m genuinely confused how you could’ve missed it:

In roughly the beginning, there was two organizations that came out of the project: The Matrix Foundation and New Vector Ltd / Riot / Element. The idea was for New Vector Ltd to carry out the necessary work and bring in the necessary funding for the Matrix Foundation to thrive. Or well, so I’ve been told.

They had multiple funding rounds lead by the likes of status.im, Automattic, the AI and Web3 company protocol labs and others; You get the gist, lots of VC and similar funding also a questionable amount of “Web3” and bullshit generation AI. Element was then tasked with using that to build the software that would power Matrix.

Noooo, they fixed it. RIP to this banger.

(Also, I don’t think you mean Pee-tube as that’s very different)

Yeah, GIMP is great, but its mask feature is just standout. Google “gimp mask” for more information.

Is it really self-hosting if someone else controls the data and software?

Spoken like someone without foot pedals.

Though this content could flourish in pockets of the fediverse, the scary scenario of prevalent child sexual abuse material is not the case. There are many moderation tools, including shared blocklists, that prevent it. However, the idea that the fediverse is full of harmful content was used by Elon Musk to justify his anti-competitive decision to block links from X to Mastodon.

Didn’t he unban someone who posted one of the worst CSAM videos known?

Most importantly, we shouldn’t allow that to happen via the API.

My view is that not adding this to the API will only encourage admins who want this to do it through less transparent means, like injecting fake activities into the sent_activity table. Most admins are reasonable people, and have good relations with their users, so if admins explained themselves then I think most users would be pretty accepting.

You’re free to start a “Should mods be able to edit user’s data?” discussion, but I doubt it would get much support, especially from reddit allowing this and it souring everyone to it.

I mean there’s been like 3 or 4 GitHub issues opened about this, so there’s clearly some demand for it. Should I make a post in !lemmy@lemmy.ml? So users not on GitHub can chime in.

You can read over the discussion here, but we will never allow mods or admins to act as / impersonate users, or edit their content.

I really don’t get this. Why is editing user content with slur_filter or modifying URLs accepted but allowing mods/admins to change the NSFW toggle isn’t? It also ignores that savvy-enough admins can edit user content with SQL queries.

Yeah, if I was building something production ready in Lisp, Clojure would be my choice even though I prefer CL. Ecosystem is ultimately king.

Oh, to be able to develop Lemmy with something like SLIME or Geiser, now that would be a dream. Too bad the CL’s library ecosystem is so much worse than Rust’s.

Will Lemmy can become easy like Bluesky? Are there plans like that?

Echoing @Die4Ever@programming.dev, it’s hard to comment on something so vague. Of course making things easier for users is an important goal.

I haven’t actually played WoT since they added tier 8-10 light tanks, but god did I sink a lot of my teenage years into it. I have been really craving it lately, but I know better than to go back to it.

World of Tanks, which is pretty funny considering the image.

gtk2 is gone 🦀🦀🦀

Doesn’t matter if they do, Lemmy cuts off the connection after streaming the number of bytes it wants.

Cigarettes cost about twice that here, like 70p each.

The cigarette giver. Those things are expensive.
