“work harder for my riches, you MAGA bitches!”

You do you booboo

Edit:

For anyone else on the fence, someone sent me this link with lots more evidence of suppression, misinformation and general asshatery I don’t fux with. https://lemmy.world/post/29072279

If I didn’t know any better, I’d suspect ‘ml’ is run by , but that’s just wild speculation based on tons of coincidences. No hard evidence.

Edit2: I’ve censored myself as I’m fully aware I’ll get completely and immediately censored if I try to imply a certain country may be directing things here.

Feel free to down vote or report - if you think misinformation has nothing to do with antiwork, that’s on you.

sybau, i’m not here to argue. I’ll block your ass and be done with you. move on with your day, tyvm

I’ll likely get banned for spamming as I’m posting this in all lemmy[.]ml communities I’m in. But informing people of the issue and alternatives is my primary directive at this point. If I’m banned, hopefully someone else follows suit with the template I have here.

Literally nothing to do with the post - appreciate your participation and thanks for proving my point. Goodbye and good riddance 👋😊

devil’s avocado: this move has saved many people’s cherished photos from disappearing by having them auto save. before Google photos I’d run into cases (I used to do home IT support) where people had years of family photos disappear because they didn’t back them up properly. Having to communicate what happened was never fun.

is Google photos perfect? No, but it’s a great solution for people who don’t want to manage their data.

fully aware! just don’t care much since its so cheap ($270 for 20 TB!) and my last externals (two 10 TBs) served without issue for ~5 years. Just gotta make sure you have backups and upgrade every few years.

I can see why you’d draw those comparisons to “spontaneous generation” or “God of the Gaps” – it’s a common misconception when people first encounter the idea of emergence. However, that’s not quite what Emergentism, especially in the context of consciousness, is suggesting.

The key difference is that emergent properties aren’t truely “spontaneous” or without a basis in the underlying components. Instead, they arise from complex interactions between those components, often in ways that are not easily predictable from studying the individual parts alone.

Think of it like this:

• Water’s wetness: A single H2O molecule isn’t wet. Wetness emerges from the collective behavior and interactions of many water molecules. We don’t say wetness is “spontaneous generation” of a property, but rather a property of the system.
• A hurricane: A hurricane is a complex, self-organizing system with emergent properties like its destructive power and eye. These properties aren’t found in individual air molecules or even small air currents; they emerge from the large-scale interactions of atmospheric conditions.

In the context of consciousness, an emergentist perspective suggests that consciousness isn’t located in a single neuron or even a small group of neurons, but rather emerges from the intricate network activity and complex interactions of billions of neurons in the brain. It’s not about throwing our hands up and saying ‘it just happens.’ It’s about recognizing that complexity can give rise to novel properties that aren’t reducible to the sum of their parts.

The challenge isn’t a lack of evidence that something is happening (we clearly observe consciousness), but rather the difficulty in fully understanding and mapping the incredibly complex mechanisms that lead to this emergent phenomenon. It’s an active area of research, and while we don’t have all the answers, it’s a far cry from “God of the Gaps” because it proposes a naturalistic, albeit complex, explanation rather than invoking something supernatural.

While theories like Orch-OR offer a different approach, many neuroscientists find the emergentist framework more consistent with how complex systems behave in other areas of science.

I’ve been running my server on an old laptop and a 20TB external hard drive connected via USB. it’s not fast, there’s a multi-second delay when the drive goes to “sleep” if nobody has used jellyfin in a while, which makes it appear to not work, but once it spins up it works like normal. this has let me keep things simple and cheap. I back up to another 20TB hard drive, which I recently bought as I could finally afford it. beefy hardware is great but not necessary, if you’re okay with some limits.

Americans have the right to bear arms just as much as they have the right to shout fire in a crowded theatre — it’s a right that can be regulated and both already are, one needs more regulation, but people don’t seem to understand.

is this not domestic terrorism?

I’d be interested to hear what you think a made up job is

So I upgraded and tested not adding a trusted proxy (using Traefik in front of Jellyfin) and nothing broke. Was it supposed to break or is it just that its insecure? Am I less secure by not adding it as a trusted proxy?

everyone does their own thing, but semantic versioning is specifically:

• Major: Incompatible changes (breaks existing code).
• Minor: New, compatible features.
• Patch: Bug fixes, small improvements.

it’s only gotten better. now you can run it in your browser and play local files

MLS only deals with encryption and key management, which is great but that’s been a “solved” problem since TextSecure (now Signal) introduced the TextSecure Protocol (now the Signal Protocol) in 2013.

What I’m aware is missing with RCS / MLS compared to Signal (someone with more recent knowledge please correct me):

• Sealed sender so only the recipient knows who sent the message.
• Not storing metadata or logs.
• No built in crash reports.
• Private contact discovery.
• Published government requests providing evidence that they don’t have any data.
• Open source client.
• Looking at the Google Play store, Google’s Messenger shares precise location data with third parties, Signal doesn’t.
• Also on the Google Play store, Google’s Messenger app list a lot of data collected. Signal only lists phone number.
