I never heard about the tildeverse before, sounds really interesting. How does one choose which tilde to join, though? It seems to me like only cosmic.voyage has a specific theme, while the rest only differ in the OS running on the machine. Or are tildes just there to host your account, while all the interactions are done via irc?
arXiv doesn’t have peer review as far as I know
I’ve been using MetaGer for a long time and have been very satisfied with it. So sad to see it go. Time to look for a new search engine.
Most of southeastern Europe uses Viber as the “default messaging app”, so it does vary by region.
I actually like the idea of being able to see how many upvotes/downvotes came from specific instances much more than seeing the actual users. It would cover some of the positives mentioned in the github discussion:
-Could help fight bot and multiple-account voting (if we assume that people who make multiple accounts do it on the same instance)
-Could help identify voting-patterns from specific servers (obviously)
And then if something looks suspicious, the admins can already see who voted, so they could check out whether some user is abusing the mechanics.
I find that this approach might be worth talking about, but making user votes visible to all seems very unnecessary.
Yup, that’s me. We booted into safe mode, tried navigating into the CrowdStrike folder and boom: permission denied.
In what way? I use it from time to time to get movies and series. Is there any downside compared to other methods?
Genuine question, I’m not too familiar with the pirate world beyond pirate bay.
When my dad and grandpa were teaching me how to play chess, they told me that the knight moves in a “G” pattern. I could not for the life of me figure out how a G maps to what they showed me, so I figured out that it goes one diagonal, and then eitger one up if the diagonal was up, one down if it was down and the same reasoning for left and right. That’s still how I visualize it.
Years later I realized that they meant the cyrillic G, which looks like this: Γ…
Oooh, I didn’t think of that. “Eat all you want without gaining weight with this one simple trick”
