How do you block people using a VPN by region? Just block the whole VPN?

likely violate that data’s usage agreement.

It doesn’t seem to be too common for books to include specific clauses or EULAs that prohibit their use as data in machine learning systems. I’m curious if there are really any aspects that cover this without it being explicitly mentioned. I guess we’ll find out.

I just noticed that my subscription to m/machinelearning is showing “no posts” despite the “magazine” being full of posts if i browse to kbin.social. Must be related.

really curious about contracts. It seems from the example that they are a runtime thing so what is the advantage over just putting some checks in your code at the top and bottom of the function? Does it allow the compiler to help infer compile time conditions at all?

Nice, only 3 days old too. Great minds think alike :P

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

And this is an even bigger problem on communities on other instances, since you are not only signed out, you don’t even have an account there. So you are forced to go back to your instance and search for it, hoping that it is seen through federation. imho what should happen in that case is that Jerboa should “adapt” the URL so that you see the community as from your own account’s instance. So if I click on a link to blah.ml/c/blahcommunity, that should actually open lemmy.ml/c/blahcommunity@blah.ml. Hm, but actually it shouldn’t do that because it should just open the community directly in Jerboa. But that would be second best.

This is a good point and makes me wonder: is there any interest in running a personal instance that has no communities, just for the sake of being in control of your own identity? Would that even be an appropriate thing to do? And if so, how would you convince instances to federate with you if you have no content?

I would be happy to use another instance but my account is on this one. Is there a way to migrate an account, or perhaps “link” accounts on multiple instances somehow?

Is it good? The description sounds a lot like the plot of Source Code.

It’s a really special book. I’m not sure I buy into the many worlds interpretation but I loved how the book delved into it in a very original eay and avoided common tropes.
