A growing number of instances (mainly of Mastodon so far) are signing an 'Anti-Meta Fedi Pact', pledging to block any instance owned by Meta in the fediverse....
That is flagrantly untrue. We know it is being made by Meta.
Not only is interacting with Meta qua interacting with Meta a harm to people who do it, a "wait and see" approach grants legitimacy to a known bad actor.
Are you of the opinion there is not a tiny possibility the heat given off by a fox might make the chickens in a hen house warmer?
You should still not even consider risking the death of all (or any) of your chickens.
Is there not a tiny possibility a tumor might make somebody's tits look bigger?
You still try to prevent people rubbing cobalt on your chest.
Is there not a tiny possibility that ... Meta brings ... a net positive

Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but......
Bitcoin is still around 30k a pop, so I wouldn't say it's dead yet. But I foresee a big crash in the months or years to come: the hype has passed, and the real uses of crypto are very few. It's also not a good investment since the expected returns are 0. Once people finally realize that, I see the price falling to 1k or even less.
It's Microsoft's take on ChatGPT powered search and as an example, I asked it what it was for you - this is the output:
Hello, this is Bing. Bing Chat is a new feature for Bing’s search engine that lets you talk to an AI chatbot rather than simply filling out search queries. You can ask questions, get answers, and create content using natural language. Bing Chat is powered by ChatGPT, an AI system that can generate realistic and engaging conversations.
It's now my go-to if I get stuck on anything and as another example, I asked it:
write me a program that says helllo Hikyuri in different colours in sinclair basic.
here's what it spat out:
I’ll try to create that. Here is a possible program that says hello Hikyuri in different colors in Sinclair BASIC:
10 REM This program prints hello Hikyuri in different colors
20 FOR C = 0 TO 7
30 INK C
40 PRINT "Hello Hikyuri"
50 NEXT C
60 END
It really is clever. Google also have Bard to do the same but it doesn't seem as good which is a first for me
Disagree. Celsius is super helpful for determining if it's gonna snow or not, a key weather thing where I live. Humid and cold and below 0? Snow. Humid and cold and above 0? Rain or freezing rain.
Also helps with plants. Below 0? Frost.
I'd argue you can't get more intuitive than 0 is cold, below 0 is very cold. Celsius also plays nice with round numbers, every 5 or 10 degrees is a change in feeling. 0 is cold, 5 out is cooler, 10 out is cool, 15 is moderate, 20 is comfortable, 25 is room and warm, 30 is hot, 35+ is very hot. Every ten degrees we're doing big changes. 0 is frozen, 10 is cool, 20 is comfortable, 30 is hot. 32 being frozen doesn't feel as intuitive.
It... isn't. That would change wildly depending on which sea/ocean you get your saltwater from (more salt = colder freezing point).
It really is defined relative to a very specific brine mixture (in the most scientifically generous origin story - some say he literally just measured the coldest winter day he could). Well except it isn't anyway, because like all US units nowadays it's defined against metric units (namely the Kelvin, just like 0°C is actually defined to be 273.15 K).
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit.

Yeah, it's ridiculous, but that's why other -> 0% is always a valid option. I'll tip if I'm paying after eating a meal or if someone delivered some food to me, otherwise miss me with that shit.
And then go to it and click subscribe. This sometimes doesn't work for me if the instance hasn't been "found" by kbin.social and I have had 0 luck adding it through search, but seems to be ok with yours.

I guess you haven’t seen what ANY community in Lemmy looked like before May 28th. Relative to today it was a barren wasteland in terms of content numbers, whereas in terms of community feel it was tight-knit and cozy. The busiest communities had like 5 or 6 posts a day, most with 0 to a handful of comments each. Whole instances like Beehaw and lemmy.ml might each have had around 20 posts or so a day on a good day.
Beehaw’s top priority has been to keep that cozy feeling of friendliness and community even as we have grown more than 10x in size. It’s not easy, and being a copy of Reddit or seeking mainstream levels of growth isn’t part of Beehaw’s current vision, as far as I’ve read into the admins’ treatises on Beehaw ethos.
Hmm, wouldn't that be RAID 1? I thought RAID 0 was striping, where if a drive fails you are screwed.
It's probably super unlikely, but I'd still be paranoid about that one day where your external drive is home and something happens (fire, flood, etc).
I did something similar until I went full remote. I just had two externals and would update one before going to work and take the out of date one back home.
Totally understand being distrustful of cloud storage. But there are a lot of great solutions that are end to end encrypted. I've had good luck with https://rclone.org in the past. They support so many cloud services, it's insane. You can set your own encryption key.
