That article is garbage, basically boils down to "did you know that this thing that's not suitable at all for a model where you pay by milliseconds doesn't work well on serverless?"

Did that person even read what Lambda etc. are useful for? Like, what's their advantage? Hint: it's not 15+ minute execution nor is it having a shared state with previous instances.

Hmm, that reminds me I should check whether Berserk actually moved somewhere, the quality went down since the author died.

Není to zrovna zaměřeno na Čechy, ale pokud stačí instance, kterou provozuje Čech, tak lemmings.world :)

It's been a while since I last wrote about the Automod, but I felt now is a good time because it's got a pretty significant update: an official user interface so that you don't have to insert your rules using SQL queries anymore.

If you don't know what it is, here's a quick intro:

  • uses webhooks to be efficient
  • supports banning based on regexes for all kinds of content (posts, comments, usernames...)
  • supports banning based on the image content
  • can watch users, notify about new users, notify about first posts etc.
  • can defederate if new instances don't meet certain criteria
  • and more

Note: This is an instance admin level tool not available to mods.

I did want to and as you can see in a sibling thread, we actually did discuss with someone who didn't decide that calling people idiots just because you don't have anything smarter to say is appropriate.

I’d prefer a world where people are guaranteed the basics to survive without having to capitulate to the system, we have the technlogical progress and productive capabilities to do this we’re just not there in terms of societal progression.

I get that and I agree, but I don't think giving everyone money that can be stolen by the usual suspects is the solution. Safety nets are the way to go, not UBI.

If someone some day proves me wrong, I'll be happy to admit I was wrong, though I'm not gonna support UBI until that happens, because of the issues I outlined.

Artificially inflating prices to cancel out UBI would create economic incentive to undercut those corporations in a free market.

That hasn't worked historically for any reason and UBI is not so magical that the whole of capitalism will sit on its ass and stop doing what it's doing.

Government intervention could also be used in a less free market to ensure subsistence items aren’t artificially inflated, after that who cares if some company inflates their price? Go work if you want a new shiny thing.

Pretty much the same response as above, good luck with that.

You know what’s really good? Having a safety net to prevent the lowest suffering class of our society dying from things that we’ve been able to prevent for decades.

Having reduced crime because people aren’t fighting over scraps.

Having more mobility in society so people can pursure careers and education that aligns with their own self fulfilment goals.

Fully agree, I don't see how that relates to UBI, though.

Stop fighting against a better world for all of us please.

I'm not, I'm just trying to explain that while UBI sounds good on paper, it can't work and never will. It's free money for everyone who owns capital, be it landlord or huge chains. They'll have your UBI, you'll have nothing and you'll pay for it from your taxes, because rich don't pay their taxes, definitely not the amount they should. So, where in that is your better world?

He can't get elected again legally. Anyone who believes he will let elections happen when his term comes to an end, is optimistic.

It's really interesting to see how out of touch with reality these folks are, really an eye opening article.
