For all that offseason hype and hoopla, we Steelers sure have not looked too good these first 12 minutes or so

Is a toddler wearing a shirt and a diaper inappropriate? (lemmy.world)
 

Over the weekend my wife snapped a few pictures of our 22mo running around splashing in a lake wearing nothing except a shirt and a swim diaper. My wife was quite taken aback when she uploaded the photo to Facebook, and had the picture removed for nudity / inappropriate content. We all rolled our eyes and figured this was just an overtrained AI being an overtrained AI, but it's got me wondering - is this attire getting to the point at this age where it really is inappropriate, and I'm just too fuzzed out from taking care of babies to notice? Curious to hear ya'lls thoughts.

It's just incredible what they can do with stem cell technology these days

What if cars grew from use - like animals. A lot of people with big/small vehicles today would be flipped around. in c/[email protected]

And then there's those of us who stick 8-foot boards diagonally through their Honda Civics so a couple inches are sticking out the front passenger and rear driver windows.

Coincidentally, by far the most use my dad's pickup truck bed gets is when I borrow it from him to really load up at Home Depot.

The earth was in an ice age around 19,000 - 26,000 years ago - perhaps it started around then when everything was quite a bit cooler.

Might wanna do the poor bloke a favor and teach him about how to properly use ramps

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others? in c/[email protected]

It probably is that popular among this crowd. There's options to self-host your own Bitwarden instance IIRC.

I've started migrating away from LastPass and am using Bitwarden for new projects personally. LastPass is way better than nothing, but I wouldn't recommend LastPass over Bitwarden these days.

China Imposes Export Curbs on High-Tech Metals Amidst Trade Tensions with the US (readwrite.com)
 

According to a recent announcement, China will be imposing new regulations on the export of gallium and germanium, both of which are metals that are utilized in the production of computer chips and solar cells and are therefore vitally important. This action is seen as an escalation of the trade dispute that the United States and China are currently engaged in, and the trade dispute has been going on for a long time. The restrictions will begin to take effect on August 1, and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has stated that their purpose is to “safeguard national security.” Despite this, the specifics of these limitations have not yet been made available to the public at this time.

Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure to inform you that (lemmy.world)
 

5 months, 27 days old, and out of nowhere she's suddenly letting "Dadadadada"'s loose all over the place! She's not even doing any mamama's yet! I've been on cloud 9 all evening. My wife is utterly devastated.

What are ya'll doing for Father's day? (lemmy.world)
 

This year my wife and I have 2 under 2. We're both pretty fried right now, and other than getting together a bit in the afternoon with some family I don't think we'll be doing much of anything. That's plenty ok with me, but I still like living vicariously through other dad's weekend plans!

How can Lemmy avoid the bots? in c/[email protected]

Yeah, I do agree Beehaw won't be able to grow significantly if they keep doing things the way they're doing them right now. At present point, they're going to likely remain a more niche community long-term with how they're operating. Who knows though, maybe this is what they want. Lemmy would have to do something different though without a herculean moderation effort.

I reckon it'd depend significantly on the instance. Beehaw has a signup form reviewed by humans - measures like this are by no means perfect, but coupled with other bot detection software could help. If an instance developed a real issue with bots, other more strict instances could potentially ban up votes and comments from accounts on it.

At the very least, tracking instances that account interaction came from should be quite doable, so users part of more strict instances could filter out upvotes and comments from less strict instances if desired.

Steelers See Improvement In Kendrick Green: 'He Did A Lot Of Good Things' (steelersdepot.com)
How is lemmyworld so stable? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I bet you could do it if your instance didn't pull in a lot of traffic.

If it did..... I reckon that you might be able to pull it off to a certain extent so long as your internet package was good enough, but if you got hit with a Reddit-level flood of incoming users, your network almost certainly wouldn't be able to keep up.

Even if it could, if you were consistently eating through all the upload bandwidth, I reckon you'd draw the eyes of your ISP and they might send you a letter kindly and respectfully telling you that if you don't upgrade to a commercial line they're not renewing your contract.
