  • The Green Party Is Great, But It’s Not Enough

    Jump

  • No. They all want to lead, no one seems to want to build it. But to be fair, some of the points the article makes about the Greens - especially the lack of grass-roots organising - are not wrong.

  • I walked outside and owls were hooting. Why do they hoot?

    Jump

  • They're not what they seem.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? January 13

    Jump

  • Finished Winter Tide for next podcast episode (recording is on Saturday) and have just started Old Soul by Susan Barker. I'm only 30ish pages in but its a strong start - for fans of literary horror akin to Peter Straub's work.

  • Egomaniac Trump, 79, Gives Himself a Deranged New Job Title

    Jump

  • We're about a week away from him adopting the title Emperor.

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'

    Jump

  • Someone needs to check your harddrive mate. You're way, way too invested in splitting this particular hair.

  • Locked

    How can I create or start my own community on here

    Jump

  • According to a two year old post Voyager can't create Communities. You can get around this by visiting your instance (lemmy.world) and logging in via a web browser.

  • UK government starting to think about leaving X

    Jump

  • I'm no fan of Starmer, even less of the OSA but Grok is literally producing deepfake CSAM and other non consensual images. The UK government, like I would hope the vast majority of people, think that's appalling and don't want it to happen. They asked X/Musk to stop Grok producing non consensual deepfakes and all they did was limit its availability to paying subscribers - essentially making the creation of deepfake CSAM a premium service. All Musk really demonstrated is that X can act swiftly, despite the numerous times it said it can't, but doesn't want to deprive its paying users of the ability to create CSAM.

    It's totally insane to me that this is being framed, by US Republicans as a free speech issue but I guess a country that can murder a woman driving a car is fucked up in plenty of other ways too.

  • Right to protest is under attack in England and Wales, reports warn

    Jump

  • Agree with one side, not the other.

  • Looking for Castopod opinions/experiences

    Jump

  • Could you DM me a link too please? I've got no issues paying for something that makes my life easier!

  • Looking for Castopod opinions/experiences

    Jump

  • Yeah, things going wrong is a concern. From the very brief look I've had at the repo, it looks like PHP and a standard MySQL/Maria DB runs Castopod so I'm hoping that side of things would be minimal and similar to self-hosting a WP instance.

    The VPS side, I'm reasonably OK with. I've been running static sites for a few years with zero issues so far but I am less familiar with this side of things.

    In terms of bandwidth, based on (basic) stats up until now I would guestimate we have about 100 downloads per month and each episode is approx 90-100mb in size so the package I have my eye on, which offers 24TB bandwidth per month should easily cope with that.

    Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

  • What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design?

    Jump

  • For the threadiverse in particular I'd add transferable user created Communities (between instances).

  • Changes to the instance networking

    Jump

  • The effort and work you put into making the best choices to keep people safe(r) is truly inspiring. I'll add my voice to those who'd love to see a technical document but only if its not going to add substantially to your load.

  • Witchcraft and the Gay Counterculture by Arthur Evans

    Jump

  • Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

    Jump

  • Avoid the podcast then - we do spoilers!

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? December 23

    Jump

  • For the podcast I'm currently reading Winter Tide by Ruthanna Emrys. If you've not read it, I recommend it for fans of Lovecraftian Mythos who'd enjoy a redemption of the work whilst ignoring the xenophobic dick who originally created it.

  • Is there any unedited conversation podcast you actually recommend?

    Jump

  • Apologies for pushing stuff I'm involved with but The Devil's Library fulfils that criteria - it's a book related podcast with myself and fellow atheistic Satanists talking about books (nothing to do with Satanism, just ordinary fiction). No ads, no sponsors. It is very lightly edited just to improve audio quality and eliminate the odd moment when we talk over each other but other than that, what you hear is what we've said.

    It is mostly also available on PeerTube but the last couple are missing as the instance we're on has been struggling a bit, we're trying to get it sorted in the new year.

  • At your age, what surprises you the most about yourself?

    Jump

  • I am almost constantly amazed that, given how I lived up to the age of 40, I am somehow still alive. Conversely, I am appalled that I have survived to see the resurgence of fascism.

  • Why have so many people stopped posting on social media?

    Jump

  • Constantly having the right-wing views of weapons grade cunts shoved into your eyeballs will do that.

  • Would you pay for online services like search and email if they offered a better experience than Google?

    Jump

  • For email, yes. For search, not until the subscription engines like Kagi go open source (maybe Kagi are and I just missed it but I can't see a link to a repo on their website).

    I have no objections to paying for a service but I am long past just trusting software. As for kagi in particular, $10 (plus tax) per month for unlimited search is a ridiculous price.
