Is it really self-hosting if someone else controls the data and software?
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Technology@beehaw.org•The fediverse promises social media without Big Tech – if it can avoid familiar pitfallsEnglish24·3 months agoThough this content could flourish in pockets of the fediverse, the scary scenario of prevalent child sexual abuse material is not the case. There are many moderation tools, including shared blocklists, that prevent it. However, the idea that the fediverse is full of harmful content was used by Elon Musk to justify his anti-competitive decision to block links from X to Mastodon.
Didn’t he unban someone who posted one of the worst CSAM videos known?
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukOPto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•[Discussion] Should Lemmy allow mods/admins to edit user post dataEnglish5·3 months agoIf a post contains content that is not allowed, the post should be deleted, that’s it.
OK, but what about content that is allowed, but has certain restrictions, like needs to be tagged NSFW. The current workflow to get this changed is: A mod comments under a pot telling the creator to tag it NSFW -> Remove the post -> wait for the creator to edit the post -> restore the post. This seems needlessly complicated and labour intensive, no?

My point wasn’t that we should embrace AI (trust me, I’m one of its most dedicated haters), but that just because technology produces lower quality goods doesn’t mean it won’t catch on. It’s going to take more than jeering mockery to stop capitalist embracing something that lets them deskill workers.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Games@sh.itjust.works•Baldur's Gate 3 Karlach actor says CEOs "just want to save money" with AI: "It'll destroy their reputation, their company, everything"English143·4 months agoI’m about half way through Blood in the Machine by Brian Merchant, a book about the Luddites, and one of the things he’s emphasised quite a lot is the complaints of people at the time about the lower quality of automated textiles compared to artisan-made ones.
I’ve seen it mostly touted as an alternative to Substack.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says tech leaders are 'pretending to be Republicans' [also Dem] to gain favor with Trump, skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors'English2·6 months agoHe bought the company to bolster his lawsuits against Apple and Google, only to fob it off to Songtradr a few years later in the middle of the staff unionising. Songtradr then sacked half the staff (coincidentally all the ones who were part of the union) and still refuse to recognise the union to this day.

(Still a douche for what he did to Bandcamp though)
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why Plebbit Outperforms Any Other Decentralized Social Media PlatformEnglish521·6 months ago[Lemmy has] no mechanism for a community owner to communicate a challenge to post to his community, so impossible to prevent spam.
Hey mods, you can do the funniest thing right now:
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Games@sh.itjust.works•A Forbes 30-under-30-er involved in at least 2 Disco Elysium successor studios has sued the lead dev at a third, blocking him from working on a new gameEnglish27·8 months agoAt this rate, the closest thing to a new Disco Elysium we’re getting is the book on all these disputes.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 10thEnglish1·8 months agoBeen playing quire a bit of the new Dragon Age. I normally don’t play games close to release, and I’ve never played a DA game before, but I watched a review and it seemed like something I was in the mood for. Been enjoying it quire a bit, more than I expected. I just really need to do something about my thermals.

flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Why does Lemmy have such a small image size limit?English8·8 months ago.ml is running the beta branch that actually started to apply image size limits to thumbnails, your app is probably using the thumbnail URL instead of the main URL and thus getting the compressed image.

flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•[Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for SteamEnglish25·1 year agoA standalone VR headset from Valve has been rumoured for a while, maybe this for getting games targeted at Facebook’s Quest to run.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Games@sh.itjust.works•Original Fallout lead Tim Cain loves the new show, but remains baffled by how 'destructive' fans can act toward 'people who are trying to create things'English2·1 year agoTrue. I need to go back and replay NV again, but I do remember Lonesome Road being one of DLCs I enjoyed the least.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Games@sh.itjust.works•Original Fallout lead Tim Cain loves the new show, but remains baffled by how 'destructive' fans can act toward 'people who are trying to create things'English245·1 year agoI really enjoyed the show, it was good. I just wish it didn’t take place in California. I hate that Bethesda’s idea of Fallout is a wasteland in never-ending strife, one that can never move past the scrappy survivor stage of the post-apocalypse.
Interesting project, I hope it takes off. Definitely a problem I’ve run into.
website may be grammatically incorrect
I only noticed three small mistakes.
Communities in Lemmy are only federated if a user is subscribes to them from external instance.
This should be ‘subscribed’ and ‘an external instance’.
I think mods (including me) wouldn’t to put effort into a new community
Should be ‘wouldn’t want to’.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Gaming@beehaw.org•What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?English1·2 years agoThe Binding of Isaac, just some drawings on the ground that don’t actually tell you anything.
They’re accepting the changes you’re making fine, you can see as such here.
Assuming my suspicion from the other thread is correct (that you’re running this in your house), you need to set up port forwarding between your router and the computer running Yunohost. Specifically ports 80 and 443.
