  • This is likely one of those things that is highly dependent on both genetics and one's own goals. I'm not sure that it's entirely possible for anyone but yourself to answer that question. I'd advise approaching it from angles like "What issues do I have with my skin that I want to improve?", "How do I want my skin to look?", "How do I want my skin to feel?", etc. Once you establish the fundamental problems that you want to solve, you can then try to find solutions and answers.

    At any rate, for reference, I personally moisturize twice daily: I moisturize my face in the morning, and then both my entire body and, again, my face at night. If you are curious about the details, I described my skincare routine here.

  • Do y'all actually read articles or just the headline?

    Both. I first read the headline (while taking it with an immense grain of salt due to, by my experience, the commonplace usage of clickbait/misleading headlines) to see if the article may interest me, then, if so, I read the article to either effectively fact-check the article's own headline, or to actually get more detail on what the headline summarized ­— though, it certainly feels like it is more often than not the former. Sometimes, however, the headline, on it's own, is enough, but that seems rare — logically, it is in a news company's best interest to get people to read the article (if it is assumed that they get income from people reading the article's content) so they would be incentivized to make the headline as provoking or nebulous as possible to maximize the probability that one will click on it.


    Its just crazy cabinet nominees every time. Wars happening. Nothing I can control.

    Personally, I believe that it's, at the very least, important to be peripherally aware of what's happening in the world, but one must be careful to recognize what they can and can't control — what is worth fretting over and what isn't. Inundating oneself with the knowledge of any number of horrible things that may have happened somewhere in the world in a given day is generally of no help to anyone and only serves to degrade one's own mental state.


    Y’all actually read all this shit? How does anyone have the energy?

    The most tiring thing, personally, is fact checking. It is tiring to feel like the majority of my interactions with news articles that are shared are that of dealing with misleading claims and misdirected or misinformed reactions. It certainly feels like the majority offloads the scrutiny of data onto the minority.

  • For clarity, I'm not claiming that it would, with any degree of certainty, lead to incurred damage, but the ability to upload unvetted content carries some degree of risk. For there to be no risk, fedi-safety/pictrs-safety would have to be guaranteed to be absolutely 100% free of any possible exploit, as well as the underlying OS (and maybe even the underlying hardware), which seems like an impossible claim to make, but perhaps I'm missing something important.

  • "Security risk" is probably a better term. That being said, a security risk can also infer a privacy risk.

  • I think it's important to also have, for context, what Joe Rogan said prior to the fight:

    I’m getting ready to watch this Tyson vs Jake Paul fight like I’m watching someone cast a spell that I hope actually works. And I don’t really believe in magic. But I want to believe

  • Factorio's art style may draw its inspiration from older games that had technological limitations that forced specific art techniques, but I'd only be guessing — I haven't found any official source that states where Factorio drew its artistic inspiration.

  • Yeah, that was poor wording on my part — what I mean to say is that there would be unvetted data flowing into my local network and being processed on a local machine. It may be overparanoia, but that feels like a privacy risk.

  • You're referring to using only fedi-safety instead of pictrs-safety, as was mentioned in §"For other fediverse software admins", here, right?

  • No. The artist is named in the title of the post and the source of the artwork is cited in the description; I am not the cited artist.

  • I don't think that this is the correct usage of this meme format given that Frank Grimes (in the case of the meme, I presume he's representing the Democrat voters) was making a point that Homer (in the case of the meme, the "protest non-voters) is able to live a cushy and easy life despite, being lazy, constantly making stupid and careless mistakes, and being inconsiderate of others (in the case of the meme, that would be the "protest non-voters", well, not voting and having a good life despite it). Frank goes crazy and ends up electrocuting himself, in the exact scene that the meme is showing, when he has a meltdown and starts impersonating homer, but the message that the meme is trying to convey, that the "protest non-voters" will "get what's coming to them" doesn't fit, as it shows the people that voted Democrat getting shafted, by the project 2025 logo being on the cables where Frank gets electrocuted, rather than the people that didn't vote. The meme just twists the intended message around, imo.

  • One thing you’ll learn quickly is that Lemmy is version 0 for a reason.

    Fair warning 😆

  • One problem with a big list is that different instances have different ideas over what is acceptable.

    Yeah, that would be where being able to choose from any number of lists, or to freely create one comes in handy.

  • create from it each day or so yo run on the images since it was last destroyed.

    Unfortunately, for this usecase, the GPU needs to be accessible in real time; there is a 10 second window when an image is posted for it to be processed [1].

  • Probably the best option would be to have a snapshot

    Could you point me towards some documentation so that I can look into exactly what you mean by this? I'm not sure I understand the exact procedure that you are describing.

  • [...] if you’re going to run an instance and aren’t already on Matrix, make an account. It’s how instance admins tend to keep in contact with each other.

    This is good advice.

  • Fediseer provides a web of trust. An instance receives a guarantee from another instance. That instance then guarantees another instance. It creates a web of trust starting from some known good instances. Then if you wish you can choose to have your lemmy instance only federate with instances that have been guaranteed by another instance. Spam instances can’t guarantee each other, because they need an instance that is already part of the web to guarantee them, and instances won’t do that because they risk their own place in the web if they falsely guarantee another instances (say, if one instance keeps guaranteeing new instances that turn out to be spam, they will quickly lose their own guarantee).

    How would one get a new instance approved by Fediseer?

  • There is a chat room where instance admins share details of spam accounts, and it’s about the best we have for Lemmy at the moment (it works quite well, really, because everyone can be instantly notified but also make their own decisions about who to ban or if something is spam or allowed on their instance - because it’s pretty common that things are not black and white).

    Yeah I think I'm more on the side of this, now. The chat is a decent, and workable solution. It's definitely a lot more hands-on/manual, but I think it's a solid middle ground solution, for the time being.
