LOL OK

Would like to have known your questions, though. All I have is your edit.

I wrote a blog article about this a while back with references to what this meme is actually quoting.

Also, the point isn’t whether people want to work or not, but rather that the moral panic keeps coming up.

Thank you for reminding me. 😛 I’m camping this weekend.

That’s pretty much been my experience, as well.

It’s a timeline approach. So, I just enter notes for each day. I’ve developed a habit of just putting things down when I need, including random stuff, links to Slack conversations, etc. I then use tags to bind things together, and there are a couple of plugins in use.

I’ve been using Logseq at work and I LOOOOVE it.

Yes, I agree with you. I’m certainly willing to take more risks with my personal systems than my work systems. Plus, I don’t use any configuration management here at home, so everything I have is setup by hand and unique.

No.

Depends on the context, I think. For me, I rarely do it for personal stuff. If I wanted to be perfect, I could do it, assuming a signature is available to verify, but I’m lazy. I would venture to say most folks don’t do it either.

With that being said, where I have been consistent about doing it has been writing config management code at work. If I need to have it download an installer from an untrusted source, I can verify that I’m installing the same package on all servers by verifying the signature before installation. This doesn’t always work well in all circumstances, though.

It would probably be helpful if others knew what platforms you preferred to use. 🙂

If you’re in Apple’s ecosystem, I’m personally fond of Reeder.

I’m sorry, I still don’t quite follow what you want. What does it mean to access the entire Fediverse?

Well, an instance is only going to have access to the data that’s federated to it, which I’m pretty sure was the same situation with Usenet.

It sounds like your issue has to do with Mastodon’s lack of full-text search, perhaps?

What exactly does it mean to be Usenet-like, in terms of a Fediverse experience?

Yeah, they were pretty amazing back in the day when you spent time actually using them to talk on the phone.

I used to run FreshRSS and it worked well. I now use an app that just pulls feeds directly and syncs to iCloud. It isn’t quite as good as FreshRSS, but it works fine for me.

If scraping is against their terms of service (and it probably is), then it doesn’t seem like much of a legal gray zone to me. I think they would sue the people running the scrapers.

I used to work for a company that was constantly fighting scrapers. They loved our data! I have no idea how successful the bad guys were at doing it, but there were ways we could slow it down, block it, etc. Also, if you spend enough money with your CDN, there are lots of ways to deal with bots and scrapers. None of it is 100% effective, but you can sure make it a pain in the ass for your casual Lemmy admin.

I say we make our own content here, instead of pulling it from Reddit.

Sorry, I don’t know. 😕 There is a Lemmy-like project called kbin which has that ability, from what I’ve read others say, but it’s not as mature as Lemmy (which still has several rough edges). I don’t speak from experience though – I haven’t checked it out yet.

There’s no way for you to follow a Fediverse account from Lemmy, at this time; however, as you know, it does work the other way around.

As far as I know, Lemmy doesn’t have a way of following anyone else on the Fediverse, but you can certainly follow Lemmy users from Mastodon.
