Hmmm. The last post that is visible to me at the point of the crash is the one about Mozilla finances; I’m wondering if the Canvas Timelapse one is the problem (just speculation - cannot prove it).
I don’t have that post in my feed; mine works now up until 9 hours ago; there has to be a post submitted around that time that is causing this.
That’s my guess too.
Update: issue has gone for me now. No idea of the specific aetiology.
Update: no, scratch that - it was loading my All feed. Subscribed feed still results in a crash.
Hmmm. I might re-install, and also install a different iOS client and see what emerges.
Mine won’t load the subscribed feed. Maybe a post in something I’m subscribed to but you’re not?
Crashes on startup for me. Seems random but can’t be. What’s up?
Reddit admins chose to strengthen censorship and guidelines against anything that could be considered lewd.
I am not sure that this is quite correct; I got the impression that the NSFW content management / content restriction aspect was chosen to be the palatable or defensible thin end of the wedge on the road to creating increasing disparity between what was available via the official app and what could be accessed by third parties via API - my guess is that we would start to see gatekeeping of things like sport content and maybe some sponsored subreddits etc.
Reddit admins chose the path of strict regulation and higher prices, and then made the pricing for API access exorbitant.
Exactly; the impression I got was that they wanted third-party apps to be financially non-viable.
Ultimately, Reddit was trying to force traffic (and revenue) through ONLY their app
Absolutely. And by the time they killed off Apollo, I was already browsing Lemmy.
The key is to figure out which of the three legs is shortest in the herd you’re stalking. That’ll tell you which way round the hill they’ll be going.
I was tempted to join .ml but the banner at the top of the application form was discouraging. Went to .world and here we are.
If you’re sure it’s them, you must be near a breeding ground. Wonder what makes you in particular so susceptible? It’s like with midges - some people just get eaten alive.
Do bug/insect repellants work? Or covering up (maybe ok in the cool but likely unbearable in summer proper)?
Your local minor injuries unit may have some experience and advice to share maybe?
I’ve heard of them; I don’t think they’re common in the UK these days after being near wiped-out fifty-odd years ago. Never encountered one myself.
Edit: quick check of the news suggests that they are back! Here’s a BBC Radio link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0fsd21z
Another Edit: turns out my other half has met people who’ve been bitten recently. Nasty nasty bite.
Changing the date does not affect am/pm.
Edit to add: if you do just change the date, check with your manual for what times it is safe to do this at - you can damage the mechanism if you change the date when the date wheel is engaged. On most mechanical watches the danger zone is within 21:00 to 03:00 but this varies so please do check.
I suspect most people who joined Lemmy ended up on .world because they would have gone here first:
For a while Lemmy.World was one of the first ones you came across; between that, the open signups and the “general purpose” moniker, rapid growth was probably inevitable.
What if I tasked an LLM with replying to your comment? Say I instruct it to provide something with an agreeable tone and I pick one out of two or three drafts.
Is it still me?
I suppose that by that point it’s not much different than having a speech writer…
I think the key difference is that the words put out via printing press were still arranged the way they were by human hand.
The painting and the photograph are framed by human eyes.
The output of an “AI” seems different because it seems that there is less (of potentially no) human input. I say “seems” because that may or may not be true. If a human guides the AI with instructions, is that enough?
In my line of work, AI is coming. I see it as a friend in silico
Let’s explore this further. When we look at the work of a human we can often see their influences (and they can often acknowledge them or even cite specific works). In a way, they are able to credit those they were inspired by.
Would an “AI” be able to do the same? I’m guessing it probably can, but more as a statistical similarity to other works. I don’t know if it can cite its sources.
A discussion around the extent to which painters were replaced by photographers (and professional photographers replaced by laypersons with smartphone cameras) isn’t going to quite be the same as a discussion about human illustrators being potentially replaced by “AI”.
I suspect the words “soul” and “character” (and derivatives thereof) to turn up more.
That’s what I thought. Never heard of a “popover” before; spent a few minutes staring at a picture of some lovely Yorkshire puddings wondering wtf was going on.
I would like to see some numbers.
When it came time to replace an old car a few years ago I actually discounted several EVs because on paper neither the range, nor the performance, nor the charging matched up to Tesla.
I discounted Tesla because I didn’t like the way a certain CEO went about their business and so couldn’t trust the company.
Looking at this, I should have just bought the EV I wanted back then and been done with it.
