Then see people in Lemmy, mostly the .ml type crowd, who rage on about how Piefed is bad and should be avoided for being full of liberals.

I have split opinions on it. The massive data centers that use so much power, hardware, space, etc are problematic. They get used as a replacement for human ingenuity, scarf down every bit of data the can, aggregate it together in a way that even the owners don’t fully understand. They get manipulated to give answers that suit the owner’s wishes and fuel divisions in public discourse.

I take significantly less issue with locally run small model systems that you can put on your own machine. They’re not continually running/training and are generally treated more as a hobby toy, not some replacement for human understanding.

Linux already runs a huge portion of the world’s servers, which are a more lucrative target for bad actors than an individual machine, so it’s solidly battle tested.

At least in Murican law I’m pretty sure any use of any image that’s not public domain could technically be flagged.

Ignoring the legal, morally and just generically, t’s good know the origin if you use it routinely. If nothing else someone might ask if they think it looks good. I’m kind of a pic/meme hoarder that wouldn’t be able to tell you where the specific origin of most are though.

Via the peersperation protocol?

I recall what you’re talking about, but was it even attached to the fedi? I thought it was a xitter thing to compare your style to others.

Because the admin lets me post semi-random thoughts on it, plus it makes a nice space heater in the winter and background noise in the summer.

Couple dead pixels from a particularly bright light might well make them unable to do their plate reading job efficiently. Might make for an interesting study.

Define funny. Statistically people fart several times a day and some people find that hilarious.

If one wants to be an ‘aktually’ arse then take note that ‘declawing’ is actually a much more precise term than ‘mutilation of extremities’ which could perfectly well mean putting their tail in a wood chipper and be technically correct

On a whole I don’t support any sort of unnecessary bodily modification, declawing, tail bobbing, circumcisions, or whatever.

What bothers me is when people find it necessary to interject some unneeded drivel because of some passing word that’s a perfectly well accepted term.

Do you just go around looking to be offended?

no rush for bush now shush your tush and pass the kush

Tale is it went offline recently and the admin is gone for a few months.

Piefed and Lemmy are act-pub/fediverse software systems, same with Mastodon and many others. Since Lemmy and Piefed are so similar in their structure though as link aggregators that people vote and comment on you could think of them as the same network with different clients.

I switched from Lemmy to Piefed somewhere around piefed’s 1.15 version as I recall. On a technical front Piefed is a solid margin ahead in admin and usability features, at least as of when I switched. I haven’t noticed a major performance difference, but mine is a single user instance so that might be better shown at a larger scale. Lemmy was a bit easier to deploy initially since there wasn’t a need to have anything compile locally but rather just pull an image and go.

Ethically, I’m less concerned using Piefed than Lemmy. The devs of Lemmy are notoriously vocal in their support of Russia/China/Korea, and basically anything that could be considered in opposition of western liberal/progressive policies. This is troublesome since there is the potential for updates being made that help create even more aggressively divisive bubbles than we already have in many parts of the fedi. Those could be applied to any software of course, but the Lemmy devs make their stances quite visible in that regard.
