I hate laughing it makes me want to vomit.

For me it's DJ Peach Cobbler. I've been watching his videos since he had around 2,000 subscribers. Now it's nearly 450,000.

He used to mostly make videos on games, now he does a lot of history stuff too. He also has a little satirical news show, and a few tasteful shitposts. A really diverse YouTube channel.

What's your favorite YouTube channel that's not a mainstream big-name like pewdiepie, mrbeast, ksi, etc...?

I’m new to Lemmy and previously had an account on another instance (can’t recall which one), where I could see NSFW communities like those dedicated to adult content. However, after joining Lemmy.ml, I’ve noticed I can’t find or interact with those types of communities.

Can a Lemmy instance block its users from accessing specific communities or even entire instances that host such content ?

If so, is there a way to connect to those communities while staying on Lemmy.ml, or would I need to join a different instance ?

I’m just trying to understand how federation and instance rules work to make the most of the Fediverse.

Any insights would be super helpful—thanks in advance!

I had an interview 2 weeks ago as of me typing this, I followed up by email beginning of this week and got the following reply back

"MY NAME,

Thank you for reaching out,

We are still in the interview process and fielding other applicants. We will be in touch with you in the coming weeks.

Thank you,

INTERVIEWER"

I don't think I've ever heard "in the coming weeks", I just hoped I'm not fucked. I thought the interview went very well.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I have a really pacific issue. In general just I suck at talking. I find it hard to put my thoughts to words, I never know what words to use and I never know what to say.

I talk like xQc irl and the act of using words to hard I'm always slurring them out even tho I try not to and I have a stutter and a slip so saying thing is very hard.

I'm on lemmy.ml but as I'm French, I was reading this comment and was surprised to see removed instead of the french word for "late".

Is there anything I can do on my end or is it a server setting and I should move to a French one?

I'm looking for the full scope skeptical worst case scenario to best case intention abstraction in a nutshell. I'm not looking for the copy pasta fanboi version. There must be a reason why I am made aware of DLC from apps in Android including DLC from storage and memory, I am looking for why.

I've also been trying to track down why AI on offline hardware displays some signs of a shadowed persistence despite the model GGUF remaining static. I can't say for certain, but for instance models that once struggled with many advanced science fiction concepts like, no aliens, cislunar space, different sociopolitical structures than the present, AI in an Asimov like context, and life in O'Neill cylinders, after several long sessions of struggling manage to handle these concepts in parallel and much more with ease. There is certainly an element involved of how I develop the language to communicate concepts and I may be the one hallucinating some kind of external mechanism is in play. I'm admittedly struggling to understand the full scope of how model caching, Transformers, Pytorch, and Nvidia's software tools work together beyond the basics I've learned while hacking with model attention to add some scaling.

How does one monitor and verify DLC? Is there any broader scope to JIT as well in this context?

I do a search for grep -rin http on everything I download in general. Is there anything else to be mindful of specifically related to DLC/JIT?

Hey everyone, I'm new to Lemmy and just starting to figure this site out. I mainly moved here because of the censorship on Reddit where they didn't publish posts that included the slightest word not allowed by their filter and they removed/blocked lots of content. I wonder if it will be somewhat better here (on the official site it says "Censorship resistant - By hosting your own server, you can be in full control of your content.").

The weird thing I saw with Lemmy was when I wanted to sign-up on the "lemmy.ml" server instance that according to the official Lemmy Servers listing page is a "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers".

So I thought I try that one when it's from Lemmy's own developers. When I wanted to sign-up it required an application that you needed to fill out with one of the requirements being having to copy a sentence from the link provided which links to some article called "The Principles of Communism" which I thought was very odd for a site to do. I've never seen a site like this promoting some ideology that directly where it's part of the sign-up process to almost pledge to some political or religious ideology.

This seemed very sketchy to me. Does anyone know something about this?

Is that possible or am I just SOL for never being raised

Do you keep everything in "downloads" or have file trees 100 folders deep?

I need advice because I’m scared lol.

Today I'm donating my streaming sticks. I got a ONN brand 2k one I bought for 15 and I got an Amazon Firestick 4K I got for $3 from a thrift store because they didn't know what it was.

And I love the concept of stream sticks, I really do. Too fucking bad that corporate interests got in the way and now everything has to have a bundle of ads at every damn turn. Not even some of the things I'm subscribed to is free from ads because this is the future apparently, we're here.

Shame because I don't want to let these go and even if I were to subscribe to Netflix's ad-free subscription, that's only one source. Why do that when I can just grab a long HDMI cable, plug it into my desktop and to my TV and I can watch everything that's there, without ads because of the extensions I use to block ads.

Dial-Up internet. Unfortunately, it's still here because the ISPs continue to fail to deliver on the promise of expanding broadband over and over.

And because of that, it's no wonder internet isn't expanded to everywhere in the country of USA.

Pretty much the title. I certainly believe Trump, Maga, the Military, and the Police will, sooner or later, probably sooner, get around to at least attempting to deanonymize and round up online antifascists and leftists and imprison them. How organized and effective that attempt is I am less sure of.

To be very transparent, this is something I'm pretty sure I'd be on the hook for. I have a long log of anti trump, antifascist, left sentiments, and am 75% sure I'll be disappeared at some point in the next 4 years as I have no plans of shutting up. The only reason I'm not 100% sure is because of how expensive it would be. But hey, maybe it's less expensive than potentially losing power? So I don't know.

Never? Not likely? Maybe? Very? Extremely? Definitely?

Thoughts?

I'm still quite lost when it comes to the fediverse. I created an account on the main instance, however as I understood more how it works, it seems like certain instances that interest me are "defederated" from this instance, and vice versa. So now I want to move my account to be able to see those instances, however I want to keep my follows and my posts I have on this instance. Is that possible? I read that fediverse is resistant to censorship in this regard, so there must be something I'm missing here.

Seriously I see these posts all the time about people who have a co-worker who steals food so they make gross food to 'get back at them' cause HR doesn't do anything.

Legit question but how do you not just freak out and yell at the person? If a co-worker stole my food the 1st time I'd yell at them and curse them out, the 2nd time I'd threaten to shove the food in their fat face next time I see it happen. If HR didn't do anything I'd threaten to quit and sue if they claimed I don't get EI because it's a toxic work environment.

I just don't get how people are so passive when co-workers literally steal from them? I'd be fucking livid.

If the price gouging of 2020 and everything following that too. If the housing market crashes didn't budge anyone. If the abundance of so many subscription services didn't. If poorly chosen representatives didn't.

If just the high cost of simply living life isn't doing anything.

Then what the fuck will anymore?

What with north korean soldiers fighting for Russia in Ukraine, where is the line drawn?

No examples from me, just curious.

I would rather know a little, honestly. Because what pisses me off about information today is that I don't really know who's value I am to take and even be skeptical towards. So I'd rather know little.
