Yep, they are explicitly not banks or traditional financial institutions and therefore have none of the standard protections. They don’t only lack the protections of credit cards, but also of banks in general.

There are countless stories of people losing access to over $10k in their PayPal account with no option to appeal because PayPal decided their Twitch revenue looked too much like money laundering. Or because a single transaction involved a card later reported stolen. Or… just because. Some people aren’t even given a reason.

And the Police won’t investigate because of whatever mental gymnastics of the day they come up with to avoid the paperwork.

“You never actually recieved it, so it was never your property to be stolen.” Or something.

Could be tests for a parser to convert it from string to object.

Not like your end users are going to type each piece into a separate field.

So this is your project? Judging from your username here and the test messages shown in your screenshot here and on the Github. Nemesis.

Brand new lemmy account with only this post on it.

And the entire Github codebase is made up of a single commit of all the files 2 hours ago as of the time I’m commenting.

As I’ve said before with similar posts from (I believe) other users/coders: just be up front about if something you’re posting was your weekend project or just something to fill out a portfolio.

Ah yes, surely “DontMakeMoreBabies” would be the perfect source for all my parenting advice.

Everyone knows that anti-natalists are the best source for parenting advice!

It was an intentional feature for techs working on the devices.

That’s a lot of waffle to avoid just saying specifically what you tried to post that got you banned.

No one was doing forensic analysis of the meaning of your username man.

Yeah, I don’t get this mindset from content creators. It doesn’t have to be some big thing if they’re worried about losing viewers and money.

Bare minimum: Uploading a video to Youtube, a Peertube instance, and to Archive.org isn’t much more work than just uploading to Youtube. Put links to all three in every description with the note that video mirrors are available at these following places.

I think the real issue is that giving up Youtube means giving up a revenue stream. Not a ton of people make video content just to create stuff anymore.

Yes, but it still deserves the question to be asked explicitly. I don’t think most iPhone users looking for a music reccomendation app would assume they’d need to selfhost in order to use an app.

And again, if as the dev he’s not prepared to set up his own server for use to pass basic testing, it begs the question of what exactly he’s expecting out of his end users and if it’s truly a reasonable ask even if they’re prepared to self host

Wait, how is this app going to function on release if you can’t stand up the basic resources for it to function for them to test it? Every user has to self host their own?

Which brings up another issue: if there isn’t an easy way for you to secure the server as the developer, is it fair for you to just dump all that on your end users?

Windows 11 displays as Windows 10 in a large number of places internally. It’s just a later revision than any of the “actually” Windows 10 ones.

Considering there have already been news stories of AI chatbots telling users to kill themselves and feeding into suicidal ideation, it is absolutely not a reliable fact that the AI will not cause further harm.

Edit: It’s also not just a problem with suicidal ideation. The founder of Business Insider recently wrote a post on his blog about “using AI to generate an AI news room cast”. He openly admits to making comments to the female AI newscaster he created that would definitively be sexual harassment irl. The damn thing complimented him on his directness, reinforcing this creepy asshat being a sex pest to the point that he saw nothing wrong or embarassing about posting about this shit publicly.

I think it’s less likely this has anything to do with skill, and more likely this is a company looking for an excuse to cut a highly paid position.

Lemmy doesn’t show overall karma anywhere by default, and as far as I know, no communities are using automated moderation to prevent “low karma” accounts from posting.

Not saying it isn’t, just that there’d be no point.

It’s how they kept everything from dying when they killed third party apps. They openly banned and replaced mods that were keeping their subreddits locked. It was a shitshow, but unfortunately reddit still exists.

And is now illegal, thankfully.

The point being made is that it isn’t very different. Focusing on the technicalities ignores the broad strokes of it. Missing the forest for the trees and all that.

The discussion of Bluesky’s flaws, drawbacks, misleading claims of “federation”, etc… has already been done to death.

This also isn’t debate club. “What I’d like OP to address” good god.

But in the interest of good faith, here’s the cliff notes: It’s run by a corporation headed by one of Twitter’s original founders, and there’s not significant evidence it will not fall to the same path to shittiness that Twitter did. It is only technically federated, not actually in practice. It is not fully open source, as key portions of the infrastructure code have not been released. Of the portions that have been released, it is nearly impossible to run your own node due to the major amount of storage space required. Beyond that, all communications must ultimately go through BlueSky’s centralized infrastructure. There’s no point to running your own node because their centralized infrastructure won’t talk with it. No one has actually been able to do anything more than host their own profile in regards to federation. At this point there is no financial incentive for them to invest money in solving the issues preventing it from being able to be truly federated.

Most of all, mastodon already exists as a mature system for federated microblogging without the major drawbacks of bluesky.

I would have loved AI to fill that need as well, but it’s not an adequate tool for the job.

You mean the overtly over the top “my family member is (mildly) infuriating” posts? Yep.

16 hour old account. Only this post and comments on it.

It’s pointless too. Account karma doesn’t exist here, so it’s not like they can farm it.

Yes, as the comment you replied to already said. That is called the wet bulb temperature.
