Unsure if this is already your point or not, but, my question is: at what level of automation does it cease to be “selectively raiding the mainstream” and turn into “importing/copying the mainstream wholesale”?

lol

lmao, even

If anyone is interested in a more thorough and recent write-up of why many of us call DHH fash, this gnome blog post is pretty good: https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/11/06/dhh-and-omarchy-midlife-crisis/

They’re not exactly mainstream, either; I stated the mainstream press is billionaire owned.

As for the insults, they don’t come from nowhere; Mediapart has been wishy-washy on upholding their own journalistic rigour when it comes to reporting on LFI precisely when much of the media landscape is actively hostile towards them. For example, the media observatory ACRIMED has written about it last year as part of a broader article on this hostility: https://www.acrimed.org/Ce-que-nous-dit-l-acharnement-mediatique-contre

In that same link:

C’est la première fois que le mouvement de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, qui se définit comme de gauche radicale, est classé à l’extrême gauche depuis sa création en 2016. Au même titre que Lutte ouvrière (LO) ou le Nouveau parti anticapitaliste (NPA). La France insoumise, même si elle porte un programme de rupture avec le capitalisme et entretient des liens avec des partis d’extrême gauche, était jusqu’à présent classée à gauche, à l’instar du Parti communiste (PC), comme l’avait confirmé une décision du Conseil d’Etat en 2024.

In 2024, they were declared simply “to the left”. In 2026, the interior ministry decided to reclassify them. So, we’re both technically right. Not to mention, the interior ministry is headed by a dude who has called Marine Le Pen “soft” in the past and is vociferously anti-left. my bad, the dude in question is now heading the ministry of justice.

Anyways the justification given by the actual head of the ministry of the interior had almost nothing to do with the concrete politics of Mélenchon nor his party/movement and almost everything to do with their member’s unwillingness to essentially play nice with the current government:

Chez la France insoumise, il y a un refus de la discussion parlementaire, des appels systématiques à la censure, on refuse d’aller voir le gouvernement pour des réunions de travail. Comme ministre de l’Intérieur, je tiens compte de la réalité des situations.

And for what it’s worth, some of the others who are classified far-left (and actually call themselves far-left) think that LFI is not far left enough to warrant the label:

La porte-parole du parti d’extrême gauche Lutte ouvrière (LO), Nathalie Arthaud, a estimé vendredi que son orientation politique était “incompatible” avec celle de La France insoumise, qui vient d’être classée comme un parti d’“extrême gauche” par le ministère de l’Intérieur pour les prochaines municipales. “A Lutte Ouvrière, on ne voudrait pour rien au monde être mélangés avec la gauche. LFI s’indigne de ne pas l’être”, a écrit sur X la triple candidate à la présidentielle du parti trotskiste. “Et en effet, cela recouvre deux options politiques incompatibles. Celle de LFI, gérer le capitalisme. La nôtre, le renverser”, a ajouté celle qui reproche régulièrement à La France insoumise d’avoir une orientation trop réformiste à ses yeux.

The French government (specifically the conseil d’État) has stated that neither Mélenchon nor his party La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) are far-left. Their stated goals for governing are comparable to Mitterand or FDR - social democrats.

It’s this kind of framing by press that maintains the kind of hostility towards the press that OP has noted in a sibling comment.

Those are some … choice excerpts. They don’t describe the level of bashing and aggrieved hostility he has received from the mainstream press for the past ten years (which has coincidentally been billionaire-owned for most of this time period), nor how his campaign promises are aligned with Bernie sanders and zorahn mamdani and light-years away from trump.

Temperament-wise, he is definitely not a sanders or mamdani, that’s for sure. More of a firebrand than the lying conman that Trump is, in my opinion.

When one of the lead devs of the Lemmy backend names their online presence after the enactor/leader of said alleged genocide, it’s bound to come up at some point.

I would frankly in retrospect have been happy to replace her with AI. At least we would be dealing with someone programmed to be honest.

This intended burn is such a self-own it’s not even funny any more. The sycophantic word-predictor is not programmed to be “honest”, it doesn’t even have intent in the first place!

The one situation I can think of that fits this write-up is someone selfhosting for themself only - they would probably not use more than one or two services at a time and so could be interested in knowing how many they can stack/stand up idle on the same box or vps. Even then, a single person hosting an -arr stack and a code forge with ci/cd can easily find themselves triggering simultaneous active compute on several of these services.

When was this measured, and how were the apps installed?

The current latest release of forgejo is 16.0.2, which released almost two weeks ago. How did you get 7.0.9 running, compiled from source? I mainly ask because you state

No docker overhead in the numbers

Which I can’t tell if that means you’ve found a way to measure only the footprint of the in-container process(es) or that you installed these without docker entirely.

And your smeltworks website is giving me a 502 error /cloudflare status page, so I can’t check the supposed commands used.

Lemmy shows you a community’s posts in order — a big room really is a room with more people in it.

This is … wrong and misleading? The default sorting order for posts is “Active”. You can sort by “New” (as well as a whole bunch of other sorting methods) but it’s never been the only option. Maybe OP is on an instance who has set their default sorting order to “New”?

Furthermore, what is this “room” verbiage? Maybe it’s just an attempt at descriptive metaphor. To me, it comes off as mixing up Matrix rooms and Lemmy communities.

And then there’s the line

Which instance you’re on matters about as much as which community

Which (imo) misses how many instances, in practice, self-select who posts from them. I think there’s a degree to which these numbers reflect how much each instance’s userbase tends to get replies, but without more detail on what these uses are posting it’s a correlation at best and noise at worst.

Was not expecting Texas to be one of the two states.

I could have sworn that hexbear defederated from jlai.lu. there was a whole spat between our instances a while back.

Et merde

Federation is still a work in progress IIRC.

But everyone can already selfhost their own instance if all they want is a web-facing git forge.

I have no hope for my car’s Android Auto or LG’s stupid website — but I choose to believe that everyday software will get better as a result of this frustration. We’re already seeing [acts of rebellion] against the current state of macOS and Windows, and I hope the trend will spread across the stack.

I was hopeful, until I clicked on “acts of rebellion” to see that he’s talking about omarchy…

For the unaware: https://マリウス.com/a-word-on-omarchy/

Now, maybe omarchy has gotten much better in the 8 or so months since this critique was first posted?

Not who you asked, but here’s a link to one party’s view (that starts by linking to something posted by another party): https://andrewkelley.me/post/my-thoughts-bun-rust-rewrite.html

the “AI engineer base in Japan” thing is so fuckin’ weird. has there been an account repeatedly posting that?

“regex” is short for “Regular Expression”, a type of program for matching characters in text. I haven’t read the actual code that uses the userRegexes list, but I think you’re safe to assume that it means the tesseract client was filtering your comments and/or posts.
