Sounds like she's got a good sense of humor... is she single?

Unless there are a few cloudy days in a row... My panels produce a lot less than normal during cloudy days.

Is "business dealings" slang for his penis?

They do plan to switch to the x.com domain and already own it.

I assume you've been living under a rock?... Biden tried to unilaterally wipe out a ton of student loans and it was blocked by a court ruling.

Exactly, Threads will use the Fediverse to seed content and then start to drift from the standard when they have sufficient user base that they don't need the outside content. They will start to shift all communities to be Meta-hosted and stop advertising the others. Eventually they will just disconnect entirely.

Business plan... That was the problem, the business plan was just a bunch of cat pics in a binder. Cute, but not so profitable.

Captcha is like locking your car... There are still ways to get in, but it blocks the casual efforts.

I review my reports. I review spam on my instance. None of us are going to be perfect.

Do you review upvote bots? The spam is an easily replaceable account, the coordinated army of upvote bots may be harder to track down.

To comply with GPL, RedHat simply has to provide source code to anyone they provide binaries to.

I’m a reddit transplant and I’m excited about what I’m seeing so far in Lemmy and the Fediverse, but my brain keeps bugging me with concerns:

Maintainability and Scalability - There are a ton of instances now. Lemmy had made it easy to spin up and host your own instance. In some cases, this means people with little/no infrastructure experience are spinning things up and are unprepared for scalability challenges and costs. This post by the maintainer of a kbin instance highlighted this challenge quite well ( https://lemmy.one/post/302078 ). How do we know if an instance is properly maintained, backed up, and is able to scale? Or should we just be prepared to start over on another instance if ours fails?

Monetization - The above cost challenges bring up monetization issues. What mechanisms will instance maintainers have to help with maintenance/hosting costs? As the Fediverse grows, how do we prevent against ads and coordinated upvoting from taking over and pushing ad content?

Legal/Privacy - Privacy regulations are becoming a mine field… GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy frameworks are making it tougher to handle privacy properly. Is there a coordinated Lemmy legal defense or are instance maintainers on their own? How would you even approach a GDPR user delete request across the fediverse?

This will come into play at roughly the same time that solid state batteries will make battery replacement mostly irrelevant. We'll see some terrible designs to accommodate battery replacements that, for the most part, won't be used.
