Adding this as a comment, instead of soap boxing my own opinion from the post body:
I think we should sign it. Personally, I would appreciate Infosec.Pub defederating form any Fediverse instance run by, or affiliated with companies/corporations that have a stake in the data business or AI development.
Yup, it's much appreciated!
Awesome, thanks jerry!
Welcome to the party @Natanael@infosec.pub - glad you want to take care of !crypto@infosec.pub! I hope you'll be able to convince a decent chunk of your community to come with. :)
Perhaps look into finding a decent cross-post tool, and start cross-posting any posts made on /r/crypto to /c/crypto. Well, I suppose you should give OP a short amount of time to also post here, in case they already have an account, but otherwise, you should do it. No one will migrate, or start being active here, if there isn't already some activity.
The problem here is that those are filters, and the newcomer will usually still be faced with several options, which will still make them scratch their head.
A wizard is a good idea, with simple questions, rather than filter buttons.
But it needs to end up telling you "here you go, this is the one you want!", giving you just a single instance. Doesn't matter that multiple will probably match the answers given - then just pick one at random. Chances are, they will be equally happy on either, and if not, well, it isn't very hard to switch to a new instance later on, when they have become regular Lemmists.
I think you would be a most perfect fit here. I think a lot of people on this instance would be excited to have a vibrant crypto community here.
The crypto community we have here isn't so much "lower quality" as it is just dead. There's been just three posts there in the last year. I was going to suggest you ask the owner of it if you could take over, but it looks like they haven't been active for two years.
I think you should just ask @jerry@infosec.pub or @shellsharks@infosec.pub if you can take over. There's no reason to have two crypto communities, if one of them is dead; you get to keep your old identity of being called "crypto", instead of "cryptography", or something else; and there are presumably a lot of the subscribers of /c/crypto that would very much like to have an active crypto community show up in their feed.
Welcome to Lemmy, and to Infosec.pub - I hope to be able to say the same to your community!
I don't think there's anything democratic about publicly singling out some users as pariahs. If a user is disruptive, just get rid of them. If they're not, leave them be. If the jury's still out on this one, well, don't bias the jury against them.
I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if, as the old world order continues to change into... this, that we will see an expansion/rework/new layer on top of the current association agreements. Something more like associate member states.
My guess is that it will take a form where associate states will have no explicit political power (no elected politicians, and not likely any appointed political positions either), but will have greater access to less direct influence, that could potentially-eventually even include formal rights of hearing with the Commission, a right to speak in Parliament, and/or guarantees of consultation on certain matters.
I think this could become a more standardised system than the current association agreements. In many ways it would be like having different membership tracks, with different benefits and requirements. I expect that realist school foreign policy is going to overwhelmingly dominate global foreign affairs, with the idealist school being relegated to mainly having influence in regional foreign affairs. As such, I think standards on political and human rights that these associate members will have to live up to are going to be an order og magnitude less strict than what is required of full members. There will probably be other requirements that will be more important, such as certain foreign policy commitments.
As for level of integration, I would imagine that such an associate member would be able to become fully integrated in many areas, but on an opt-in basis, possibly with almost standardised package deals, where certain benefits and obligations (both legal and economic) are bestowed together. Things like Schengen membership, or access to some of the large redistribute programs (agricultural subsidies come to mind) will remain very exclusive, and membership in these will continue to be largely political, rather than something that can be accessible to any associate member that fulfills certain objective criteria.
Do I have any special insights that make me able to predict the future? No. No one can predict the future. But I think these are some pretty solid guesses.
Can you delete it a little harder? It's still there for me. Maybe you only put it in the thrash bin. You need to either empty the bin, or press shift+delete in order to delete it permanently.
Godspeed. We're all counting on you, oh ye who has the power to delete all of Reddit!
P.S.: Not trying to make fun of you, btw! Just entertaining myself. "Deleting" something sounds so different when you're used to using it through your browser. :D
I admittedly didn't read the article (no time as I speak), but surely they included a control group?
It's a lot easier and much more productive when you learn to talk to other people in a mature, healthy way, and insulting someone, slurs or not, never is. Try leaving school yard talk, like personal attacks, where it belongs, and see how much less stressful it is when you're not fighting people all the time, and how much more people will listen to you.
Hvis du kører Fedora, og du bare har brugt standardindstillingerne da du installerede det, så har du btrfs som filsystem. Det kan tage snapshots af hele dit system (eller mindre bidder) på 0 sekunder, som fylder 0mb*, og som du kan rulle hele dit system tilbage med, på kun den tid det tager at genstarte.
Det hjælper dig selvfølgelig ikke nu, i den aktuelle situation, hvis du ikke allerede havde fået slået automatiske snapshots til. Men hent Btrfs Assistant, så du har det klar til en anden gang. Det er skide nemt at bruge, med en fin grafisk brugerflade.
*Snapshots'ene fylder 0mb når de bliver taget, men de begynder at fylde mere over tid, i takt med at data på dit system ændrer sig væk fra tilstanden da de blev oprettet. Du sætter det bare op i Btrfs Assistant til at de bliver automatisk slettet efter noget tid. Btrfs er virkelig et vidunderligt filsystem!
Fantastic! Good show, Jerry! :)
I love the familiar, efficient interface; the lighter resource use; and it even turn browsing Lemmy through Lynx into a pleasant experience.
I see most instances link their alternative frontends on the their sidebar, so that people know they're available. You could consider the same.
EDIT: I see you also just added modbot. Great to see good tools like that added! I'm sure /c/crypto is going to be off to a great (re)start, now.
