Usually I find these lists a bit "meh", but there's actually a bunch of stuff here I want to try.

  • Upvote RSS
  • Sync-In
  • Poznote
  • Postgresus
  • Loggifly
  • OpenArchiver
  • BentoPDF

Yeah I use StirlingPDF extensively.

I might give Bento a try but ultimately not much incentive to change.

Even without the sexual depravity I dislike all of them so much.

My point is, bots on reddit are farming karma. They're not doing that here.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Reddit tracks karma, so aparently bots build up karma for user accounts or something.

Lemmy doesn't do that.

I would add to this that there is significant controversy around the ideological alignment of the lemmy developers, and most people would find the political leanings of the instances they're associated with to be... unpalatable.

I'll leave you to undertake that journey of discovery for yourself, suffice to say that freedom of speech is particularly limited on those instances.

Other software operates in the fediverse and is interoperable with lemmy. For example, myself and the commenter you replied to are registered with piefed servers, while this post is on a lemmy server.

This is hilarious.

I bet she deliberately scheduled that FEMA meeting for the time at which she knew she would be getting grilled.

This is the US import origins, according to OEC World, the source of the data in your map.

China may not be the US biggest trading partner, but it's not far off.

I've had a Synology NAS for 15 years or so, and I think it's ideal for this kind of use-case.

It has a point and click configuration UI that you access from a web browser.

There's a reasonably large ecosystem of packages you can install.

I'd have a super-serious talk with them about backing up their stuff.

For profit companies already run reactors on dry land, which don't move, and are heavily regulated and constantly observed.

Obviously, the risk profile is vastly different when you put the reactor on a boat.

Putting them on a boat is not well understood. Australia just doesn't have personnel experienced with any kind of reactor. We don't have a nuclear industry. It's not as simple as plonking a box named "reactor" on the boat and calling it a day.

China is everyone's biggest trading partner.

Call us a "puppet state" if you will, but we're not as far up Trump's ass as a lot of other allies.

blatant bots posting really crappy AI images

I don't think I've noticed this ?

What would be the motive of someone creating a bot to post bad AI images?
