  • It does taste different.l but it's still milk.
    I've grown up on a farm, and milk can even taste different from cow to cow, or at different times of the year if that changes their alimentation.
    Raw milk also usually has a higher fat content than what most people buy.
    Ours would average 4.5%.

    Different breeds also taste different, holsteins, ayrshires, jerseys, etc.

    I've never been a big fan of milk, so I can't into much details on flavor.

    I personally wouldn't procure raw milk from a farm I didn't know very well.

    according to GPT-4o-mini that I haven't double-checked, which means it's likely wrong somewhere.

    Summary of Paper Volume and Football Fields

    Data Capacity of a Letter-Sized Page

    • Dimensions: 8.5 x 11 inches
    • Average Text Capacity:
      • Approximately 500 to 600 words
      • About 2,500 to 3,000 characters
      • Roughly 2,500 to 3,000 bytes (using standard ASCII/UTF-8)

    Total Pages for 100 Exabytes

    • 100 Exabytes = 10^20 bytes
    • Average Bytes per Page: 2,750 bytes
    • Total Pages: Approximately 36.4 trillion pages

    Volume of the Paper

    • Volume of One Page:
      • Volume = 8.5 inches x 11 inches x 0.004 inches ≈ 0.000374 cubic inches
    • Total Volume for 36.4 Trillion Pages:
      • Total volume ≈ 7.89 million cubic feet

    Volume of a Football Field

    • Dimensions:
      • Length: 120 yards (360 feet)
      • Width: 53.3 yards (160 feet)
      • Height: 10 feet
    • Volume: Approximately 576,000 cubic feet

    Football Fields Needed to Hold the Paper

    • Calculation:
      • Number of football fields ≈ 7,890,000 cubic feet / 576,000 cubic feet ≈ 14
    • Result: Approximately 14 football

    English message:

    As some of you may have noticed, there's an instance with 1.1M bots reposting reddit posts and comments accross communities in several other instances.  

    I expect there are multiple valid opinions on the subject and this thread is meant to get a feeling of everyone's opinion on the situation. 

    You might also want to read lemmy.ca's discussion on that here which is a pretty decent thread about the subject.  

    Things that I think need to be pointed out:  

    • alien.top currently has 1.1M bots, only 6 of those are weekly users logging in. 
    • together they've made 1.59M comments accross a multitude of communities in other instances.
    • That project claims to be trying to get reddit users to switch to lemmy. 
    • They have a portal to allow reddit users to claim and take over their bot persona. 
    • alien.top has a single local community, the bots all post on different instances with copies of different subreddits.

    I don't have an exhaustive list of such communities,  I haven't found an official one.  I'll post a fewfrom my personal blocklist in a comment below. 

    And a note on the upcoming 0.19 release: 

    • the new user-level instance block feature will block all the communities of the blocked instances,  but will not block these users' posts or comments if they are done on another instance's community.  

    My opinion isn't any more valid then anyone else's so I'll put it in a comment below.

    Our users' input is welcomed.

    What do you, dear users of sh.itjust.works, think about federation with them?

    Thanks

    Comme certains d'entre vous l'ont peut-être remarqué, il y a une instance peuplée de 1,1M de bots qui copient ees posts et commentaires Reddit dans plein de communautés sur plusieurs autres instances.

    Il y a plusieurs opinions sur le sujet et ce fil de discussion vise à prendre le pouls de l'opinion générale sur la situation.

    Je vous suggères de lire la discussion chez lemmy.ca à ce sujet ici, discussion intéressante. 

    Quelques points qui, selon moi, doivent être soulignés :

    • alien.top compte actuellement 1,1 million de robots, dont seulement 6 sont des utilisateurs hebdomadaires qui se login.
    • collectivement, ils ont déjà fait 1,59 million de commentaires dans une multitude de communautés dans différentes instances.
    • Ce projet proclame essayer de convertir des utilisateurs de Reddit à passer à Lemmy.
    • Il existe un portail pour permettre aux utilisateurs de Reddit de prendre contrôle de leur version bot.
    • alien.top a une seule communauté locale, les bots publient tous sur différentes instances, des copies de différents subreddits.

    Je n'ai pas de liste exhaustive de ces communautés, à première vue, je n'en trouve pas une liste officielle.  Je mettrai dans un commentaire ci-dessous quelques communautés que j'ai bloqué au niveau personnel. 

    Pour finir,  une note sur la version 0.19 de lemmy qui s'en vient :

    • La nouvelle fonctionnalité pour bloquer une instance au niveau d'un uutilisateur bloquera toutes les communautés d'une instance bloquée, mais ne bloquera pas les publications ou les commentaires de ces utilisateurs s'ils sont publiés dans une communauté d'une autre instance.

    Mon opinion n'est pas meilleur qu'une autre et je mettrai plutôt dans un commentaire ci-bas.

    Les commentaires de nos utilisateurs sont les bienvenus.

    Que pensez-vous, cher utilisateurs de sh.itjust.works de la fédération avec eux?

    Merci

    They've since been banned locally and their content removed.  While they have yet to be banned on their home instance, you shouldn't be exposed to their content as long as you browse from here your sh.itjust.works account.
