What do you mean “media”? As in movies?

What you’re describing about “getting in” to places and “treasure” is a little old school. In the before times archaeology wasn’t really a thing and “antiquarians” looted old temples and tombs and sites. Their objective was to take objects which had some value.

Archaeology’s primary motivation is to learn about places, the time they were active, and the people that were active in them. Obviously finding some beautiful object or treasure is exciting, but it’s so exceedingly rare that it’s not really a consideration.

I quite like watching time team. They have a great youtube channel now but it was a BBS series for many years. I feel like this is probably about as real a depiction of “archaeology” as you’re going to get. They brush dirt away with a tiny paint brush for days and get excited when they find a tiny shard of pottery because it confirms that people were active at the site in say, the 1300s instead of the 1600s as previously thought.

In the current era, archaeologists acknowledge that accessing ancient burials and similar sites is so destructive that there are instances where we know their probably is treasure and other wonders but decide to leave it. The most famous example is The Mausoleum of Qin Shi, protected by the Terracotta army. There are other similar examples.

I don’t know the actual reason, but I personally get a bad vibe every time I see the logo because usually it means I’m trying to install or fix some java bullshit, which never goes well.

I didn’t know this was ever in question?

Also stop calling it “my sequel”

No idea mate.

What? Edited posts dont disappear.

I’ve never heard of federated communities.

Keep in mind the fediverse is not lemmy. Lemmy is the software that allows you to read, post, and comment, but there are others like piefed.

The basic problem you’ve described is a potential problem, but in practice it’s not really significant.

I’ve never really cared much for the idea of “community” online and certainly on reddit. Like what is a community really other than a category of similar posts ? The idea that it’s the people that make the community and that you need one cohesive place or platform for that community to exist just isn’t accurate.

For example, every instance might have it’s own “selfhosted” community. If you search you’ll see a half dozen. Just subscribe to the few busiest like everyone else, and you’ll see all the posts. I guess what I’m saying is that “the community” informally exists across all instances.

The best thing about federation is that you can choose not to follow specific communities if you don’t want to support their content. Like maybe you’re into manga memes but you don’t want to support the lack of moderation on some instances.

I don’t know exactly how it works but piefed has a feature where if a post is a link to a news article then it will list the comment sections for all cross posts under one post. Something like that anyway, I’m not sure exactly how it works, but often when looking at a post for an article you’ll see comments from other posts of the same article.

Not really.

Plenty of other countries adopting Trump’s populist policies.

All the obvious things have been mentioned.

The only way to identify the problem is to share the exact steps youve followed and then others can reproduce.

Based on what youve told us, no one knows how the subdomain is leaked. Without meaning to be derisive, that suggests that something youve told us isn’t quite correct.

You could say that about everything that Trump does.

He has normalised the making of unilateral decisions. He has normalised vindictive policies. He has normalised armed forces in cities.

Its not that deep.

He’s just saying he can take things he wants if no one will stop him, and he’s trying to rationalise that.

Well I certainly am not going to attend… but mostly just because I’m not interested rather than any ideological reason.

I dont think this really responds to the comment you replied to.

Lots of comments in this thread are talking about people who dont have the time or expertise to manage their own nextcloud instance.

Saving you stuff on your neighbour’s instance includes genuine risks to your privacy or sensitive information.

The “legal agreements” that commenter referred to are simply the manner in which the host is allowed to use your data. The things you might store might be your will, maybe a spreadsheet of passwords, maybe some notes about your plans for a side hustle, maybe some naughty photos of your wife. Not information thats actionable by Google or Microsoft, but certainly things people dont want their neighbour to access.

God .ml is just producing more and more dickheads every day.

Honestly lemmy seems to be comprised of 3 people posting all the stuff, about a dozen people commenting on everything, and then a hundred ml dweebs prowling around waiting for someone to say something un-marxist.

It’s hyperbole. A well established component of human interaction, used to stimulate engagement.

Some idiot is harassing me because I said “googled” instead of “searched” ?!

Amazing.

Sure but youre probably aware that the vast majority of users dont, and for those users its a usability issue.

As im sure you’re aware the g word is commonly used as a verb meaning “search”.

I couldn’t care less how you feel about its use in this way.

Actually I use a self hosted instance of searxng which pulls results from a bunch of different engines.

You should… avoid starting sentences with “you should” because it’s irritating. Universally.

That’s a fair clarification and I’ll happily admit I was in the “most of your serotonin is made in your gut” camp.
