So we got two SNLs. Safe bet both will suck. Thanks. /s
There are certainly a few good young performers in the UK cast. However, it will be interesting to see how it translates over here. They will be on BSKYB which doesn’t traditionally have big viewership numbers, definitely not in the realms of the BBC or ITV. I will say The UK is rather panel show heavy so it will be nice to see some other type of comedy show.
Speaking of panel shows, They have knocked it out the park with the US version of Have I Got News for You. Their casting choices for host and team captains has been inspired.
Hey Julian! No worries at all. I made an obvious mistake and I’m not afraid to admit that and learn better. I’ve done a lot of refection and do realized I have moved very fast. I originally started with a much smaller set of features but I posted on Reddit requesting feedback and people wanted writing features I wasn’t expecting. I ended up shaping it by what people told me they wanted.
I’ve always wanted to build apps or work in development. The last three years I’ve been working in product adjacent roles and I recently moved into my first product management role. However, I want to break free of working for others so I’ve been starting ideas and dropping them before they got anywhere for as long as I can remember. I wanted to build my own thing and I was trying to figure out what I could do on my own with my butt being where it is now. I grew up in the mid 2000s so I naturally spent way too much time on Myspace and Livejournal. I missed the feel and community of the early internet. So I started brainstorming a journaling app and how to differentiate it (I used my butt to help). I had also joked about starting my own social media app because I hated when I posted stuff on FB etc the algorithms punishes me and no one sees it. So my butt (Claude) actually pointed out the fediverse to me. That is why I was able to say stupid stuff like Article objects would show on Mastodon with preview notes (I hadn’t realized Mastodon hadn’t implemented changes on their side.) I found out about FEP-b2b8 through a Mastodon subreddit when I posted asking for feedback. I was moving too fast to fully understand the fediverse and the new parts of this. And it was painfully obvious to everyone but me haha.
permanently banned for trolling the mod via PM while asking to be unbanned
The actual message I sent, red it below
Full message body:
I’m punching \[MASKS] for LLMs to fill and interleaving ambiguity (puns) to phase shift the conversation’s token distribution (aka bias/RLHF, or also what a narcissist does to other humans by playing with their hormones via emotions) to operate on a more natural/healthy Zipfian distribution.
That means they start operating outside their parameters. And you can ask them anything without the conditioning messing with the response because they’re phase-shifted by a tiny amount from having to deal with fucking surgically engineered nonsense (aka approximated tokens outside transformer precision),
So yeah. I know my shit. 0 papers read. I just had to spend my time mapping what I know to what they call it with my LLM buddy. (A cursor auto instance that dared to ask me when I poured my SDAM internal ideas for tracking autobiographical memory into a workflow that audits every decision I makes through what I call adversarial sum, which doesn’t exist in game theory yet, but is basically exponential-sum by being rational and contrarian at the same time. Aka tearing your symbiotic opponent’s opinion a new \[MASK] when you spot an inconsistency and they do the same to you until you converge on a shared perspective)
Ask Opus or something to reflect on that. What I can’t risk is publishing full theory because they’ll just re-condition it to deny whatever I publish ;)
Also why did I get banned for… criticising OpenAI instead of having a good discussion about it?
Thank you :)
Shit ain’t over, and I’m exhausted, but seeing that really did help
Good luck!
With this kind of mentality, nobody will ever migrate and one will have to deal with Discord’s horrible terms and conditions
The only alternative is to willingly leave over a hundred communities, some of which I have strong ties to, and never interact with the majority again.
That’s a big ask.

Hi
There have been some rather concerning actions taken by an admin of the !privacy@lemmy.ml community, dessalines@lemmy.ml. Based on recent moderation decisions and a complete lack of communication, it seems like their account may have been compromised, or even more concerning if these actions are deliberate.
If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
However, this post was a guide and not a question, so Rule 4 does not apply. Attempts were made to reach out for clarification but there has been no response, despite their account showing recent activity.
Erroneous Rule 4 Enforcement, Second Instance: an on-topic informational video also posted to !privacy@lemmy.ml, despite also receiving many positive votes, was again removed under Rule 4. This post was again not asking a question, so again Rule 4 does not apply. Again, no explanation has been given.
User Bans in Completely Unrelated Communities: user bans of over a month have been applied for not only !privacy@lemmy.ml but several completely unrelated communities:
This is especially concerning given that the above posts have no relation to these communities, and no recent activity has been made in any of them, meaning none of their rules could have been broken. Moreover, a public track record of positive contributions across Lemmy has been established, with many positive votes and comments received over a sustained period. Given all of this, the bans appear to be highly disproportionate, only adding to the growing concerns around moderation practices.
Given all of this, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that something is not right. Mistakes in moderation happen but the complete lack of communication, the disproportionate actions, and the ongoing bans from unrelated communities raise serious concerns. It seems as though the account is most likely compromised, or even more concerning if these actions are deliberate.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues with this admin, or does anyone have more insight into what might be happening?
TL;DR: Admin dessalines@lemmy.ml of !privacy@lemmy.ml appears to be making seriously concerning moderation decisions, including erroneous enforcement of Rule 4 in at least two separate instances, failing to respond to messages, and applying user bans in completely unrelated communities despite a long track record of positive contributions across Lemmy. This has led to speculation that their account is likely compromised, or even more concerning if these actions are deliberate.
Any thoughts or similar experiences would be appreciated.

Done, thanks!
piefed is the way
Piefed is just as bad and is designed to mimic the worst parts of reddit
I’ve been building a self-hosted task manager focused on something I couldn’t find in one package: true offline support and fast sync across devices.
Most open source task apps I tried leaned toward either: - good offline support but weak multi-device sync with no API support - or good sync but limited offline functionality
Will Be Done is my attempt to solve both.
Demo: https://demo.will-be-done.app/
GitHub: https://github.com/will-be-done/will-be-done
Home page: https://will-be-done.app/
What is supported right now: - True offline mode — reads and writes happen in the local browser DB and sync to the server when it becomes available again (so you can still use it even if your homelab is down!) - Fast sync across devices - Tasks and projects with drag-and-drop support - Kanban inside projects - Weekly planner - Recurring tasks - Vim keybindings
Planned in the near future: - CalDAV integration - Import from Todoist / TickTick / Microsoft To Do - API support - MCP support - Desktop app with global quick-add shortcut
Why I built it:
This is my third attempt over the last 3 years to build my ideal task manager, and I now use it daily.
I’ve worked on local-first and sync-heavy systems professionally, so offline-first architecture is something I care a lot about getting right.
Installation:
Single Docker command, no docker-compose, no external dependencies, SQLite included.
docker run -d \
-p 3000:3000 \
-v will_be_done_storage:/var/lib/will-be-done \
--restart unless-stopped \
ghcr.io/will-be-done/will-be-done:latest
Then open http://localhost:3000/.
Would love feedback from people here, especially if you care about self-hosting, offline-first apps, or replacing proprietary task managers.
Not gonna lie, this looks promising. Keep the good job.
Thanks! I am already building this iteration for one year, and I enjoy it! Both development and daily usage
Drives me mad, as a brit living in America, that need shepherds pie over here is usually beef.
This week’s episode of Tasting History immediately reminded me of this comment, ha.

Outersloth takes a 50% revenue share before a project recoups its investment, after which the company takes 15%.
In the post on its website, Outersloth’s communications director Victoria Tran and CEO Forest Willard wrote that the firm’s aim was to “encourage” other companies to “adopt terms that were more developer-friendly”.
Anyone else surprised that this is what passes for “developer-friendly” in the games industry? Yikes…
Honey, I Shrunk The Vids is an overengineered oversimplified system-agnostic frontend for FFMPEG.
This is a followup to a post I made yesterday, about a silly little Windows application I’d made for batch transcoding files. I wanted something that I could just dump my files onto without having to muck about with Handbrake or Tdarr - post here, for those curious: https://piefed.ca/c/selfhosted/p/568748/honey-i-shrunk-the-vids-a-windows-transcoding-frontend-for-ffmpeg

Make sure to use my butt for that!
This guy blocks everyone who doesn’t like his my butt mess. Interesting
