Imo the lottery is the most fair way of doing it. Instead of people being lucky to be awake/available right as the announcement dropped, everyone has the same chance of being placed early in the queue.

Software dev by day and software dev by night. Work life balance achieved by working on separate projects. Currently working on [REDACTED] for work and video game restoration as a hobby.
I also self-host a lot of stuff. That includes a Forgejo instance for my projects and for mirroring projects that should never disappear.

- Click Deactivate Account
- Select the checkbox to purge your account data
- Confirm that you’d like to deactivate and purge your account
- (Optional but recommended) Fill out the exit survey and tell them that they’re supporting a neo-Nazi
- In Account Settings, delete all of your teams

Technology@lemmy.world•Asahi now officially supports the Apple M3 CPU seriesEnglish
1·17 days agoPrimarily because APU is an AMD marketing term. The announcement is correct in calling it a SoC, I just used CPU because the focus was on CPU and peripheral support. GPU is usable, just not fully working, and the NPU support is rough at best. I’m not sure if there’s any other notable accelerators on the chip.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Bank of Canada unveils new vertical $20 bill featuring King CharlesEnglish
0·21 days agoCanadian* Bank Note does get feedback from Bank of Canada on designs so I’d say it was a group effort. It’s strange that Bank of Canada likes taking all of the credit though.
I’m actually curious who specifically was the lead designer for this one, since Jorge Peral (who has designed all bank notes in recent history) retired before this note was released. I presume he had his hand in it, but how big was his role?

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that one company owns Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, Match.com and at least 40 more dating sites/appsEnglish
0·2 months agoIt’s not technically independent since Badoo (owned by Bumble) is a very popular dating app too. Those two apps/companies have a weird history (Badoo’s owner funded Bumble), but Bumble was also started by an ex-Tinder employee.
And looking at their Wikipedia entries, Bumble seems to be publicly traded with Blackstone owning a significant portion of the company. Bumble also bought Fruitz (another dating app) a few years ago.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•From the day you were born until today, what was the best piece of advice you still follow?English

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Creating a "maintenance" page for my self-hosted sitesEnglish
3·2 months agoThat’s a very elegant way of doing it! I need to do something similar with my setup one day. Having everything hosted in my home gives me the most control but also a lower availability than if I ran everything in someone else’s datacenter. Currently an outage means that browsers and other clients just time out which is not very informative. Have you explored any other options? I was thinking of spinning up a dedicated VM somewhere to handle this and automatically switching over DNS entries at the same time (maybe automatically update DynDNS when the VM boots).
WRT is this relevant to selfhosted: I think some people will disagree, but Cloudflare is still selfhosting. It’s not localhosting, but as long as it’s services that you provision yourself it’s selfhosting.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta café northeast of Edmonton closes after losing customers over separatist eventEnglish
0·2 months agoThis is actually quite similar to what happened to a local Ottawa business a few years ago https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/stella-lunas-wellington-location-closes-its-doors
TL;DR they supported the trucker convoy and then people stopped going to their two locations. They also got a newly-opened business in the same building kicked out. Both times they complained about the finding out part of FAFO. Eventually they closed two locations because they couldn’t make money.
It was actually the best thing, because now the city’s best ice cream shop is in that location and has long lines every night. I just hope the convoy supporters would close their remaining location…

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•why is it okay to curse out anybody from any religion and call them slurs dedicated to that religion except Islam?English
0·2 months agoI (regrettably) went through your profile and I see no evidence of what you’re claiming in the OP. What I do see, though, is plenty of evidence that you like to make claims without evidence and then annoy people until they start cursing at you. It’s simultaneously very Christian (religion is not based on verifiable evidence) and not very Christian (which preaches tolerance and respect) of you. My advice: lay off on the proselytising and you’ll be better accepted by people who have differing opinions on religion.

Opensource@programming.dev•Github repo fixed with D.eSystem 6.0.2 beta (My OS)English
0·3 months agoCan you please learn how to use git or at least some source control software instead of creating a new (almost) empty repository every release? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
If you’re just going to include source code archives in the release instead of pushing them to the repo itself, you should at least disable the automatic source code archives. But you’d be better off not using a source control website at all if you’re not going to use source control.









It’s basically true. Animal agriculture (land use, resource use, and pollution to create animal products) is a major source of pollution which competes with transportation for the biggest source of global warming.
Unfortunately the more nuanced take is that it’s not a single thing; it’s a series of choices that eventually become habit. But so is not owning a car.
I think technically the single most impactful thing you can do is to remove major polluters from the planet (though in many cases that is illegal so, in case cops are watching, I’m certainly not recommending that).
