I have so many questions about this article. First of all, who is Gercek News? It appears to just be a website run by 2 people. The article seems to do nothing but repeat the accusations with zero investigation or corroboration. I’m going to need more evidence than just one person’s Instagram account.
For light users, $36/mo is very expensive. However, for middle and upper management types that live, breathe, and eat PowerPoint, this is huge. If this is good enough to allow non-technical people to connect to their BI and generate charts and reports without the need of IT, it will be incredibly cheap to them. There’s a whole cottage industry of consultants for small business who do these sorts of things so having this automated will save time and cost for these businesses.
As a developer, I’m still interested in seeing what CoPilot integrated in my development environment will be able to do. My company is currently paying for ChatGPT+ at $20/mo for me. At my salary, it’s a no brainer since even an hour a month is a huge ROI. However, it’s quite manual since I have to copy paste everything. If I can get ChatGPT 4 with the full context of my project, $36/mom is a no brainer. If we can get a private version that is trained on our company code base, it will be a game changer.
I can’t say this is for me. What I really need is something that will convert one flavor of regex to another. It’s really annoying to always have to look up the shortcuts and capture group syntax.

For CSAM in the US, you have to have actual knowledge to be responsible for reporting. If you view the image or it is reported, you must act. Its pretty much the same for DMCA.
The sci-fi type implications of this would be astounding. We would see a rapidly increasing global population with high natural resource use. On a philosophical level, is living forever a blessing or a curse?
I bought a $3k+ LG OLED. I intentionally never agreed to any TOS so that it would act as a dumb TV. I wanted it on the network so that I could control it through Home Assistant and Apple HomeKit so I put it in my IoT VLAN. Within a day it was trying to port scan my network! It is now fully isolated with no outgoing connections allowed.
When releasing art, I recommend using a Creative Commons license such as “CC BY 4.0”. They have a license chooser you can use.
I think this could be very valuable for the community and the Lemmy devs. However, I believe to be successful, there needs to be a volunteer(s) who “sync” the community to the GitHub issues. We could automate this but that would make the situation worse. Here’s how I could imagine this working:
When a new feature or bug is posted, the mod determines if this is duplicated or not. If so, they will reply to the post with a link to the previous post and lock the current one. If it is truly new, the community can vote and comment. After a week or so, if the community supports the new feature or fixing the bug, the mod will open a new GitHub issue with a summary of the community discussion and link to the discussion.
This is a lot of work for the mods, but I believe it would really add value for both the Lemmy community and the devs.
Yes, there is an issue. I wouldn’t expect the core devs to implement this soon since currently all of their time is being spent on core issues like scalability and bug fixing. Most new features seem to come from contributors. A bug bounty might be a way to incentivize someone adding this feature.
Too bad you are forever doomed to using Aptos since it’s impossible to change fonts.
My first GM vehicle was a C7 Chevrolet Corvette. I wanted it since it was announced in 2014 but held out until 2016 when it finally got CarPlay. I’ve since traded it in for the 2020 C8 Corvette that also has CarPlay. I bought a dongle that enables wireless CarPlay so I don’t even need to plug it in.
I absolutely love my Corvette and would be interested in buying the next generation. However, I will not consider it or any other GM vehicle if CarPlay is dropped. It is a mandatory feature for me.
I had never thought about having wireless satellites on a Bluetooth speaker. Everything sounds amazing except for the price!
Lemmy Proposal: Replace up/downvoting on comments with emoji reactions
I would like to propose replacing up and down voting on comments with emoji reactions. Since Lemmy doesn’t have a consequential karma system, I don’t believe the gamification of comment upvotes helps engender a discussion with a diversity of opinions. Instead of a binary choice, we will be able to express a far greater range of reactions. I see emojis as being especially helpful as a replacement for downvotes since it will help the author understand why the reader disagrees. While I agree that replying instead of downvoting is a better choice, it’s not realistic for everyone to have the time to do so.
For posts, voting serves a useful purpose in creating a curated list of most popular posts in each community. This is important for people who don’t have time to follow all posts in their subscribed communities.
For those wondering what PEP 703 is:
CPython’s global interpreter lock (“GIL”) prevents multiple threads from executing Python code at the same time. The GIL is an obstacle to using multi-core CPUs from Python efficiently. This PEP proposes adding a build configuration (--disable-gil) to CPython to let it run Python code without the global interpreter lock and with the necessary changes needed to make the interpreter thread-safe.

I would love to have this in Azure DevOps for wikis. The Mermaid support is too limiting.
Plus an appointment is not required for those that have an iPhone with LiDAR which is probably nearly everyone who is considering purchasing this.
I had one decades ago as well when they first came to the US. Mine was extremely finicky to program. I had hold it very still at a fairly specific distance to my CRT. It was rare for me to be successful on my first try and it was quite slow.
Lemmy v0.18.0 Release

> ## What is Lemmy?
>
> Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.
>
> ## Major Changes
>
> ### HTTP API instead of Websocket
>
> Until now Lemmy-UI used websocket for all API requests. This has many disadvantages, like making the code harder to maintain, and causing live updates to the site which many users dislike. Most importantly, it requires keeping a connection open between server and client at all times, which causes increased load and makes scaling difficult. That's why we decided to rip out websocket entirely, and switch to HTTP instead. This change was made much more urgent by the sudden influx of new users. @CannotSleep420 and @dessalines have been working hard for the past weeks to implement this change in lemmy-ui.
>
> HTTP on its own is already more lightweight than websocket. Additionally it also allows for caching of server responses which can decrease load on the database. Here is an experimental nginx config which enables response caching. Note that Lemmy doesn't send any cache-control headers yet, so there is a chance that private data gets cached and served to other users. Test carefully and use at your own risk.
>
> ### Two-Factor Authentication
>
> New support for two-factor authentication. Use an app like andOTP or [Authenticator Pro](
> https://f-droid.org/packages/me.jmh.authenticatorpro/) to store a secret for your account. This secret needs to be entered every time you login. It ensures that an attacker can't access your account with the password alone.
>
> ### Custom Emojis
>
> Instance admins can add different images as emojis which can be referenced by users when posting.
>
> ### Other changes
>
> #### Progressive Web App
>
> Lemmy's web client can now be installed on browsers that support PWAs, both on desktop and mobile. It will use an instance's icon and name for the app if they are set, making it look like a given instance is an app.
>
> Note for desktop Firefox users: the desktop version of Firefox does not have built in support for PWAs. If you would like to use a Lemmy instance as a PWA, use use this extension.
>
> #### Error Pages
>
> Lemmy's web client now has error pages that include resources to use if the problem persists. This should be much less jarring for users than displaying a white screen with the text "404 error message here".
>
> #### Route Changes
>
> Pages that took arguments in the route now take query parameters instead. For example, a link to lemmy.ml's home page with a few options used to look like this:
>
> > https://lemmy.ml/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Active/page/1 >
>
> The new route would look like this:
>
> > https://lemmy.ml?listingType=All >
> Note that you now only have to specify parameters you want instead of all of them.
>
> #### Searchable select redesign
> The searchable selects, such as those used on the search page, have a new look and feel. No more inexplicable green selects when using the lightly themes!
>
> #### Share button
>
> Posts on the web client now have a share button on supported browsers. This can be used to share posts to other applications quickly and easily.
>
> #### Lemmy-UI Overall look and feel
>
> lemmy-ui is now upgraded to bootstrap 5, and every component is now much cleaner.
>
> Special thanks to sleepless, alectrocute, jsit, and many others for their great work on improving and re-organizing lemmy-ui.
>
> #### Database optimizations
>
> Special thanks to johanndt, for suggesting improvements to Lemmy's database queries. Some of these suggestions have already been implemented, and more are on the way.
>
> Query speed is Lemmy's main performance bottleneck, so we really appreciate any help database experts can provide.
>
> #### Captchas
>
> Captchas are not available in this version, as they need to be reimplemented in a different way. They will be back in 0.18.1, so wait with upgrading if you rely on them.
>
> ## Upgrade instructions
>
> Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.
>
> If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.
>
> ## Support development
>
> We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for almost three years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation.
>
> If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. No one likes recurring donations, but they've proven to be the only way that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.
