I don't think you can add any extra text when crossposting with Lemmy, but I'm not sure what instances like kbin allow.

Either way, I would expect that treating it the same way that the browser view currently does would be a good start for this specific case.

[-] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Is this how we want it to work though?

There's a lot of context missing on one post, while it's visible on the other. And this isn't a problem when viewing these posts through a browser instead of Voyager.

I just noticed that crossposts like this one: https://lemmy.ca/post/23884170 do not show the text from the original post.

Viewing the crosspost on a browser displays it, but on Voyager it only appears if I click on the original post.

That GitHub "archive here" link leads to a page where it hasn't been archived... (or was the archive removed??).

What's the reason for the empty comments, lately?

In the last few weeks, I frequently see some empty comments. It's just the username and no text beneath.

Is there a deeper reason behind this? Do people nowadays strip away the text instead of deleting a comment? Or did some script surface that 'makes the internet forget'? First I thought people did this before deleting a comment and the deletion just didn't get federated. But I scrolled through some older posts and they also still have comments like that, so that can't be it. Right?

Can anyone educate me?

3.23.2 is no more, we now have 3.24 (robertsspaceindustries.com)

No changes to the actual content itself. Just that the changes are big enough to warrant a major version update:

Hi everyone,

With Alpha 3.23.1 out the door, our team has shifted focus to closing out what we had previously called Alpha 3.23.2.

During internal testing of the upcoming patch, we've determined that its substantial updates justify labeling it as version 3.24.

This change in version number doesn't indicate any changes to the patch itself or any future patches; rather, it aligns with what we consider to be a major update. We're excited for you to experience additions such as Freight Elevators, Storage Access (previously known as Item Banks), Personal and Instanced Hangars, new Cargo Hauling missions, and more—all of which aim to make a lasting impact on the 'verse.

You'll soon see the updated version number in the launcher as we release Evocati/PTU builds and corresponding feedback threads. Additionally, this adjustment will be reflected on the Roadmap, which will be updated next week.

Keep a close eye on Spectrum for updates soon, and we'll see you in-game!

MotD Update:

🕹️(Wednesday) Goals for this week
- Thursday - We are looking to do a TECH-PREVIEW test with all backers for 4-6 hours with a more efficient hardware structure to test the meshing benefits. This test will split Stanton into 3 servers per shard with a more efficient setup and we will be monitoring network/server performance.
- By Friday - We are still looking to have a Cargo/Hangar build out for Evocati this week. We have a couple blockers still preventing this but are getting closer.


changing some messaging from earlier. We're going to open the Tech-preview tomorrow to all backers instead and have the build up 4-6 hours

Still working on time but most likely 2100 UTC

Edit: Some additional updates

could be as early as 1900 UTC but still getting that planned out. We already have the build

the Tech-Preview test tomorrow is going to be on an older build. this is a known quantity test since the last one to run performance tests so will be in a 3.22.x build so will be a bit of a throwback

The Evocati build for 3.23.2 has been pushed back until tomorrow or later. We might get a Server Meshing Test this Friday (I would expect to see it next week and be happily surprised if we see it by Friday).

(Tuesday) We have pushed a new 3.23.1a hotfix onto LIVE with multiple server and client crash fixes. We currently have 2 PTU goals this week if all goes as planned.
- First - We are looking to get 3.23.2 into Evocati's hands over the next couple days for cargo/hangar testing.
- Second - We have a slight chance of a new Tech-Preview Server Meshing test as early as Friday with with lots of new network changes if all goes well with internal testing.

  3.23.1a Hotfix 9204897-9211972 is going to be pushed onto the LIVE channel in a bout 5 min! This resolves a handful of the highest server and client crashes we've seen in the last week as well as an issue that caused landing services to get stuck to a previous play

This is a hotfix without disrupting the global database so shouldn't interfere with non-ltp items like medpens, ammo, and refinery.

Edit: Hotfix is now live.

🕹️(Monday) We are opening up the HOTFIX channel on the launcher soon for a 3.23.1a hotfix that will connect to the LIVE servers. This fixes a handful of server and client crashes, a deadlock, and landing service not functioning issues. If all is well it will be pushed over into the LIVE servers when ready.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/lobby/38230

Edit: In the game launcher, be sure to select the HOTFIX option for the game environment to connect to the Live servers that way.

If you don't want to download another copy of the entire game, rename your "LIVE" folder to "HOTFIX".
Default folder path: "C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen"


Edit2


This hotfix does not require you to clear your shaders, since it creates a new folder, but when it rolls over completely to live there's a stronger chance that it will use the same folder that's already there. To clear your shaders follow the instructions below.


Edit2


For hotfixes like this, I strongly recommend that you clear your shader folder:

  • Delete the entire sc-alpha-3.23.1_{id} folder located under:
      "%localappdata%\Star Citizen"

      Or if you like typing in the full path:
        "C:\Users{username}\AppData\local\Star Citizen"

No 3.23.2 PTU with evocati today! We are targeting Tuesday/Wednesday but will know better by tomorrow!

We do have more tech-previews on the horizon but won't spoil those just yet!

Better/additional info here: https://www.gamesradar.com/games/third-person-shooter/helldivers-2-community-manager-seemingly-fired-after-encouraging-negative-reviews-over-now-canceled-psn-mandate-i-knew-i-was-taking-a-risk-with-what-i-said/

Spitz:

"Generally it's not a good idea to tell people to refund and leave negative reviews when you're a community manager. TIL," Spitz said. "I appreciate all the support and I appreciate even more that everyone can play the game again without restrictions. I knew I was taking a risk with what I said about refunding and changing reviews. I stand by it. It was my job to represent the community, that's what I did."

They added: "I wanted to work for Arrowhead because they're my all-time favorite studio. I got that chance. I'm thankful for that opportunity. I'd happily continue working for them if I had the choice, but that isn't up to me or anyone else in here. I can walk away happy and I don't want anyone causing trouble on my behalf, especially not to people I still have a lot of care and respect for."

This definitely sounds like Sony wanted them out and Arrowhead wanted them to stay.

It's worth pointing out that once Pokémon Go players found out about OSM, we saw a massive increase in new users as well as those contributing to OSM so that the maps would better reflect the areas they played in.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334378297_How_an_augmented_reality_game_Pokemon_GO_affected_volunteer_contributions_to_OpenStreetMap

Unfortunately there are always a few that will try to game any system. In this case they're essentially vandalizing OSM for their own selfish reasons.

Just don't forget to give the game a positive review now that Sony backpedalled. That way we can be ready for next time.

It's a small model by comparison. If you want something that's offline and actually closer to comparing to ChatGPT 3.5, you'll want the Mixtral 8x7B model instead (running on a beefy machine):

Not just phone numbers and email addresses, but a recent ruling by a federal judge allows them to record and collect text messages without worry:

They do have a free tier, and while it doesn't auto request your data removal they can at least notify you which data brokers have your info so you can make the requests manually yourself. https://monitor.mozilla.org/

Edit: The data removal features are currently available only in the US according to their FAQ:

Why is data removal only available in the US? When will it be available in my country?

Data removal is only available in the US because of legislation that allows data brokers to operate there. In many other countries and in regions like the EU, laws like GDPR prevent these websites from collecting and selling people’s personal information without their consent. We’re exploring ways to expand protection and personal data removal outside of the US where needed.

For those curious, the apps that sold your specific geolocation data were "Drunk Mode" and "Walk Against Humanity".

Edit: Although Wikipedia notes that X-Mode's SDK is in use in more than 400 apps. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Mode_social#cite_note-13

This is a big win for privacy advocates as well:

"By securing a first-ever ban on the use and sale of sensitive location data, the FTC is continuing its critical work to protect Americans from intrusive data brokers and unchecked corporate surveillance,” said Khan.
