Reddit launches moderator rewards program amid sitewide discontent (techcrunch.com)

The Mod Helper Program is a tiered system that awards helpful moderators with trophies and flairs. Reddit users accrue karma by receiving upvotes and awards, and lose karma if they receive downvotes. The program rewards moderators who receive upvotes on comments in r/ModSupport....

Sorry, shitposting is a hard habit to break. These are the first two legit definitions I found when googling. I guess I keep forgetting that W stands for Windows and that sysadmins still administer windows machines, and that windows has server products. You see, after NT, I went to linux and forgot about the windows world with the exception that I need the computer for games.

The phone is trying this on it’s own but you are preferring not to use it, instead preferring 5g networks.

Honestly you should probably just let the phone do its thing. Various bands have various capabilities. 5g is very fast, goes through concrete but doesn’t travel far (even via air). LTE has more bands in lower frequencies than 5G does IIRC, and lower bands travel greater distances and serve more customers. Phones automatically try to use the 5g signal, falling back on 4g, then 3g, 2g… the reason the feature you enabled exists is when there are stronger 4g signals that are getting picked up and there is still a 5g signal within range. In your case I doubt the 5g signal is in range.

Btw, your pixel should be using wifi calling at home, which uses the internet and gets as good of a signal as your home wifi does.

rarely ,

the phone does it when you set it to automatic. but you haven’t set it to automatic, so it sees 4g and 3g and says “nope, my user would rather have no service than 4g or 3g service”.

you may want to get a UPS for your modem and wifi. a nice 1000watt UPS should give you a few hours of internet when the power goes out.

rarely ,

maybe then you want to try manually falling back to LTE. from the docs:

LTE: This setting should only be selected if experiencing service issues in locations that offer multiple network types and only LTE is needed.

rarely ,

Can you fish an antenna outside your window, and have a few hundred dollars to spare? You might get better signal with a booster. I use one from surecall on my car and it fills in the gaps in coverage well. Not sure if I get 5g or not, but I get adequate cell service. I think they have ones for the home, ideally with a directional antenna and mast. At that point, you should have great 5g, but your mileage may vary.

Signed by whom? The CA.

The CA is the certificate authority.

You can create your own CA and sign your own certs for free, but people would need to have your CA root cert in their browser for them to be able to trust your signed certs.

Let’s Encrypt is a real CA bundled with browsers, and it signs free cert signing requests when specific criteria is met. This is done because TLS is an important privacy mechanism that works best if many certs are in use and not just a few wildcard certs.

Why not trust self-signed certs? Because there are no checks. When miicrosoft.com (the people who make the miis on your wii) gets a free cert signing from Let’s Encrypt, its because the owner of miicrosoft.com proved that they owned the domain miicrosoft.com by means of a lets encrypt / acme challenge. When you create your own CA and sign your own certs you are beholden to your own rules. You could sign a free cert for microsoft.com (the people who make minecraft) but then you would also need to convince users to install your CA, and then you can steal their blocks and grief their builds.

Gang, I hate to tell you this but this is what we mean when we say “you are the product” especially with free offerings.

But if you hate that I have a worse thing to introduce you to: the internet. If you respond to this comment, or any comment on any lemmy instance or other federated service or website or blog… your words can be consumed, copied and used to train whatever anyone wants. It is trivially easy to create web scrapers with just a bit of coding knowledge. These days it’s pretty easy to then use that data to train AI models. To a computer, it’s just data.

Grammarly is a product where you give it bad grammar and it gives you good grammar. Grammarly, like many products, gets better over time when it can understand what went wrong so its teams can make it right. This can often include any text entered into the program. I don’t know the specifics but they should be outlined in the privacy policy. A company using data it already has to train AI makes sense, especially if it anonymizes that data. It may not be ethical given that users weren’t aware of AI at the time they accepted the privacy policy, but with american capitalism a company can change a privacy policy and you can opt out if you don’t like it.

That’s why we all have lawyers on retainer to read and translate all privacy policies for all websites and applications we interact with in a daily basis. Right? That’s normal, right?

I will say, could this support person have meant that an organization with 500+ employees get a custom AI model trained on only the organization’s 500+ accounts? Because that would be better, and likely more ethical too.

If that’s not the case and any content you have put into grammarly is being used to train AI, then I guess it’s time to stop using grammarly then huh? But it’s also time to stop posting anything on the web, too. Oh, and don’t publish anything, ever.

Or, you could go with the flow. This data is mixed with millions of other accounts… sort of like what happened when chatgpt trained on anything you’ve already put out there. The only real concern I could see is if you discussed a very specific thing or invented your own personal coded style of writing and used it so much that, among the millions of other users, dominated the corpus and skewed the training model. Say there are only 5 grammarly users and you are number 5… you keep talking about “procorpia” being “mass sledge”, generating hundreds of entries with thousands of tokens “words”. By contrast let’s say the other 4 grammarly users only used it a few times a month to send short emails. Now, after training, the 6th grammarly user mispells a word as “procorpia” and grammarly generares “procorpia is totes mass sledge brah”. Suddenly, your secret is out.

If, on the other hand you speak the same broken english as the rest of us, you are probably fine.

It looks like you have two free bikes in front of you. I wonder if they float in the river.

rarely ,

I am an american but i think it works like this:

  • streets are bike friendly
  • more reasonable to just bike everywhere so everyone does
  • city may provide free bikes to use
  • more demand for bikes, more competition, less expensive bikes
  • less bike theft in general as a result
  • these aren’t $4k+ bespoke bikes
  • something something socialized healthcare something something better labor laws something something higher taxes but a better quality of life. Why steal? Be happy.

We don’t have these things here. Except for expensive bikes, that’s all we have. That’s why I got these boltcutters…

You mean the country that owns and has always owned .ml TLD, which states rules you must follow if you want to register a domain with that TLD, which states the penalties which include forfiet of your domain name, surpised people when they did what they said they would do?

This is kind of interesting to see how the public views ownership. There seems to be an assumption that buying xyz.com is akin to buying a utility (we pay for water service to drink and drown or waterboard). This ain’t it. A domain name is a registration in a database on servers that need to be constantly online, it had costs, it has governance concerns and technical infrastructure that must be maintained. There isn’t a higher power here, no government owns the internet, but some governments do own their own TLDs. This makes it possible to have mali.ml vs visitbeautifulmali420.squarespace.com. It might feel like you have the power to buy fuckmali.ml and put turn it into goatse but mali can nuke your registration if they wanted to. How did these countries get the TLDs? ICANN. But don’t think ICANN is going to jump in and break their rules for you.

This sucks but ICANN has a solution… there are many many TLDs out there now. They all work the same: it’s just a name, point it where you go and it works like any .com or .org. or whatever. Fun ones like .zip and .xxx. grab one you like but be sure to read the rules when registering. Some TLDs do NOT allow private registration. Most country based TLDs (ccTLDs) require that you live in that country and provide proof of citizenship.

This has been around since the inception of the internet. There are alternatives to ICANN, but I am not positive you will want to use them because:

  • your visitors will need to use these alternatives on all devices or on the router in order to access your site.
  • legit domain holders may not have records on these alternate services but malicious actors might. If we change the IP to a malicious actor for apple servers at the DNS level because the TLDs arent using the root-servers.net, anyone using those TLD root servers could easily be hacked.

It’s not great, but ICANN starts the chain of trust upon which the internet relies.

I don’t think you will find one easily, but you can get a small usb-c to 1/8" headphone audio jack (TRRS or TRS) pretty easily. Otherwise maybe check out the jelly phone… not sure if its out but its tiny and newer but has a headphone jack.

www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-2

rarely ,

They wouldn’t need a dongle for phone cases, they could easily make room for a headphone jack, but they don’t as a concious decision for a few reasons:

  • “people don’t want or use them” as “the market” has “spoken”. In other words, phone manufacturers removed it, the public didn’t revolt, people bought more wireless headphones and other manufacturers followed suit.
  • less lint in your phone I guess. A few more extra phone features, or capacity or battery life. USB-C truly is the future. Why add a feature that most people won’t use instead of features they will use?

I mean there are many MANY reasons why we would want to keep the jack:

  • we could actually use the FM receiver that phones are capable of and use the headphone jack as an antenna, as was the case when smart phones started hitting the market.
  • batteries die and the wireless headphones have batteries. Really kinda silly to have two products that can do what you need with one wire but they no longer can because there are no magic pixies to send over the air from one to the other.

Sure… this was just said to simplify what is technically possible. Should you? No maybe not, for multiple reasons. Can you, technically? Yes absolutely. I don’t know what’s the limit but I know that if you have to ask here on lemmy, you might not be anywhere near that limit. Unless you are the go daddy.

Ok, consider matrix which is federated e2e chat. There are a few instances but the “dominant one” is matrix.org, the public test instance setup by the matrix devs. You probably do not want to use this one unless you absolutely have to. The reason being is that the instance is so large that chats take a while to load and sync and there can be some downtime as the servers are overloaded lots.

You can instead run your own little instance with no sign ups, just you, and still chat to everyone on matrix.org as well as the other federated matrix instances. Bonus, when matrix.org goes down, you can still chat with users on your instance and other federated matrix instances instead of waiting for matrix.org, your chosen, “dominant” instance to come back online.

This is a mental trap folks get into. Centralized services suck and are antithetical to the web’s design.

Think of these federated instances like email and ask the same question: “which will be the dominant email service? Gmail? Fastmail? Aol? Protonmail?” The answer is you choose the one you want for the reasons you want, and don’t sweat it because it will likely communicate across the rest of the internet (unless blocked by spam filters).

Things to consider in an instance:

  • do I like the end result of my handle (e.g. [email protected] vs [email protected])?
  • does the instances values somewhat align with mine? I mean to say if you consider joining threads as your fediverse instance, you mind find less content or a worse interaction with content in general? If you join a right wing server as a leftist, you might find the only content you can access is content you don’t want to see, as other instances have blocked that instance…
  • think they will be around for a while? Think again! All of lemmy instances are run by volunteers. If you don’t mind instance hopping when one goes down, just pick one. Guessing which instance will have the resources to continue in years time isn’t something you’re going to get a good feel for years to come. Lemmy content isn’t going to easily monetized meaning likely most instances will need to rely on donations in some form to pay the datacenters who literally keep the lights on.

They’ve been wrong for a very long time. They are still waiting for trickle down economic (reaganomics) to work. Its been decades and nothing close to trickle down has ever come to fruition.

Non-americans: trickle down is the idea that when we boost the profit of CEOs that money will “trickle down” to everyone else at the company. A laughable idea that has and will never work.

And by rich, we are talking yuge amounts of money, considering the GOP calls a family making $400k/year “middle class”. Middle class isn’t rich, we are talking about people who make a lot more than $400k/year.

The only people who benefit from voting red are the super rich who use their money to influence poor dumb dumbs into thinking that they too will be rich one day, despite only making under $100k/year.
