Yeah, it’s been acknowledged and solutions have been discussed as future Todos

I imagine it should be prioritized though, along with some of the other malicious upload issue mitigation bugs.

Considering giving to any church 501©(3) themselves are considered “charitable donations” when it comes to taxes, this rings a little hollow. If you consider a church as a charity itself, and those churches are soliciting donations every week in services, of course you’re going to see higher charitable giving from areas with a lot of churches/religious. That said, my gripe is not with religious based charities, it’s with churches. Salvation Army can continue to do what it does, religious affiliated childrens hospitals, etc. The amount of money that is spent on congregations is just a waste and it’s a shame.

So do secular charities.

Just imagine what could have been done in the last 300 years if every dollar that was donated to churches went to some other cause, or back into the pockets of the masses. There is an immense amount of wealth that is trapped in the collective real estate, bank accounts, etc owned by churches. I’m not even talking about megachurches or the mormon’s giant stack of cash, just mom’n’pop little parishes that are everywhere across the US.

If ALL that money was still kicking around in the economy and in the pockets of people to spend on real things, building real businesses, etc…we’d be way better off.

Always makes me sad when I visit my in-laws who live in a particularly bible thumpy area and you go and there are spots there where churches outnumber normal businesses. It seems like it’s just a huge drain on the local economy devoting that much money into propping up churches of various kinds…

Agreed on all counts. Williams and rodman were both awesome, I thought. Bummer about Rapinoe, especially as her last WC. I think there is a lot of soul searching to do now to avoid this in the future.

My gripe was that rapinoe had control issues on all her service attempts thus far in the game. She was clearly off and frustrated and didn’t think she should have been put out there. Didn’t like any of the tactical calls made, but maybe that’s just me.

Open, so that the air that gets pumped into my room can tell the Mr. Thermostat in the hall that it’s actually fine in there and they don’t need to call Mr. Furnace or Mrs. A/C.

Samesies. Very random. Also on hot are things that I would consider new.

Depends on what the motivation is. There are fiscal conservatives that think it is a responsible thing to do and then there are the fiscal conservatives trying to pull the ladder up behind them. Fuck the latter. Agree to disagree with the former.

That’s the same thing to me. Parents and teachers failed to educate them in how to be curious.

Exactly, hopefully these things are just stopgaps until better link handling is fully implemented.

Yeah, defederation isn’t an answer to this, or if it is, it’s an absolute last resort. First they have to do something wrong, then the instance should ban them, if they fail to act and the community is doing something wrong, then you talk about defederating.

There are almost 1000 lemmy instances already. Getting individuals to fix their signup settings so that they mandate CAPTCHA likely will have to be driven from the lemmy product update level and an agreed upon defederation list for non-conformant instances.

And bot farms would be able to spin up new instances themselves, so being able to do a blacklist based federation model (federate with all by default except x, y, and z) isn’t going to be viable. There’s going to have to be a whitelist (federate only with a, b, and c) and maintaining that as new instances get added will be problematic without an overarching way of pushing updates of known “good” instances automatically.

Kinda crazy that one of the biggest lemmy instances out there is just rolling with a releases candidate. That said…the issues that 0.18.0 is supposed to address are substantial so getting it rolled out ASAP is a priority and we’re still in the phase where if it breaks something, people are pretty okay with it.

Do we have a timeline on the 0.18.0 full drop?

I’m hyped for Sync coming to Lemmy! Also Thunder looks really promising though it’s just prototype phase now.

My wife is a little this way. Doesn’t draw her in. My son and I are bonding over his first playthrough of Zelda: A Link to the Past. He is way into it and I get to come in and beat the hard parts so he thinks I’m awesome. My wife is fine with it because it’s good father/son bonding time. I expect him to start schooling me any day now.

The only issue I have with this is that they call it a “documentary.” It’s a special or deep dive, sure. Documentary is a stretch.

I have to imagine there are more than a couple reddit staff who are supremely annoyed/pissed about this whole mess. They probably work at reddit because they love it and now they have to oversee it being turned to shit.

Yep, I agree that it’s not there yet, but I think a lot can happen in 2 weeks. I think the bar you set for it being “good enough” is a bit too high. A lot of these things will are 3-12 month horizon items, but none are necessarily dealbreaking in the shortest of terms as long as the current batch of server owners are ready to scale with current donations. I think some of these things will be “nice to haves” as long as there’s clear momentum and a promise for some of these things to be addressed in the coming months. I think that the biggest issues that are plaguing the system now are more on the instance stability/lemmy-ui sorting issues might be able to be addressed in 2 weeks. There’s a lot of learning going on at the moment (see beehaw.org’s defederation stuff) and hopefully that type of thing will be more or less have a consensus on how it should be handled.
