https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/1809#discussion_r889164824
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3504
I imagine it should be prioritized though, along with some of the other malicious upload issue mitigation bugs.

I think they’ve talked pretty openly about how those are simply the annoying part of being in the YouTube business and if they didn’t, they would just be leaving views on the table.

ewe@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some notable scams in history that went unnoticed for so long?41·2 years agoConsidering 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.

ewe@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some notable scams in history that went unnoticed for so long?English164·2 years agoJust 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…
Has there been any posts on this outside of discord? Anything we can do? It’s been noticable and I have an alt I can use when lemmy.world is down, but I didn’t even realize this was happening.
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.
ewe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Who else foresees environmental problems with this later down the line?English55·2 years agoYeah, this seems really smart to me, as long as you can avoid the obvious problems with it being submerged in fucking corrosive as shit saltwater. Makes way more sense than using A/C since the ocean is a giant heatsink.
I am guessing OP is worried about either these things being a driver of why the oceans are heating up (not the blanket of CO2 around Earth in the atmosphere from decades of fossil fuel powered binging) or the ocean being too hot to effectively cool these things, which also doesn’t seem plausible outside of very specific locations/depths.
I think this would be better than doing it on land, however I also think that it’ll be costly and need to be over-engineered to survive the environment and not worth it in the end (as MS has apparently come to the same determination).

Have community vs user focuses on servers instead of having the same server get hit with both high community/comment usage and a server with lots of login/audit/user browsing requests. Servers with big communities could focus on stability and perfomance. Servers with users could focus on cool UIs and features for their users.

ewe@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Don't overstate 1.5 degrees C threat, new IPCC head saysEnglish55·2 years agoThat’s a good and healthy way to approach this. Nicely put.
Bettering the world’s situation is a legislative/political issue. Bettering you and your immediate community is something you can help with, even if it’s only at the margins.
The problem with all this, however, is that there are a lot of the things that you can do to help your personal situation that are definitely not helping the overall situation. For example installing air conditioning, watering your lawn, etc. They might make things more comfortable for you, but they’re by no means better for the world. We still need to incentivize the right things through the right tax breaks and financial/industry incentives, which lead us back to politics being the actual thing that we need to make meaningful personal and global change possible.

It’s smart. Also, developers have a solid benchmark to set their games to. Console has long had the benefit of a stable hardware set over the course of many years, which makes it easier to develop to the broadest possible market. Skipping incremental APU updates has a benefit of keeping a longer benchmark for game developers hoping to boost sales by targeting the market with handhelds. Valve was pretty clear in their communication in this regard, which is great.
