You could have just checked.

Oh man! You just put to words why I couldn’t stand Breaking Bad, and Boardwalk Empire.

I watched the first simply because a lot of people love it, and I try to watch everything that seems worth seeing. The second I saw some clips from that I really liked, but then I just didn’t stick with the actual show.

In both cases, the series left me on constant edge, in a really bad way.

Now I realize that I kept waiting for the shows to grant me some kind of catharsis, but it just never happened. Or it happened rarely and in ways that quickly gets brushed away as inconsequential.

The students are spied on by their teachers using AI and webcams when they do exams online on their laptop.

This teacher is expressing amusement at the image on the wall fooling the AI into thinking the student had someone help them during the test. The teacher then goes on to comment that they can tell that the student kept looking to the left (the teacher assuming they are looking things up in a book or by using a second device) and that the student might want to remove the image from their wall to avoid the AI flagging them.

You kid, but I’m fully aware that I find Adria Arjona impossibly attractive, and that because of that she makes Bix that much more appealing to me.

But she did do a fantastic job playing the character. It’s too bad she hasn’t been in too many things aside from Andor that are actually good. There is pretty much just Good Omens.

They’re asking because they know that Trump is a pushover that is likely to relent.

I do hope they haven’t removed some of the humans being a poly marriage.

The preservation alliance is such an interesting societal concept.

Same. Seems promising.

Either of those are only options for someone who runs an instance.

I agree running things the other way around would be better, but monitoring about a dozen communities, I get away with a call every 5 minutes, and it almost never needs to load a second page. That is not significant afaik.

How would it miss stuff? You’d always use “new” sort and load pages until you run into content from the last update. Stuff from the last page appearing again because new content moved the content along, shouldn’t stop you from loading another page, and any new content will be caught in the next update.

Only way I know to do this, is to just regularly check the comment and post feeds, loading more pages until you get content you’ve already ingested.

This is how @saucechan@ani.social works. It also responds to mentions using notifications, but mentions in post bodies don’t create notifications, so the work-around was necessary.

If you didn’t know, there is a comment feed endpoint, which will contain new comments from all posts, without requiring you to check every post for new comments. It’s not used by most clients, but it’s available in the default webUI, and hence the API.

You can make it a little simpler, by only loading the subscribed feed, and making sure you sub to the relevant communities on the bot account.

Hm.

Making and running fediverse bots is very easy right now. The APIs are well documented and libraries exist for almost every platform and programming language to make things even simpler. All the parts you’d need for every bot anyway, are done and available. You only need to write the code that does what your specific use-case requires.

I’ve made four now. Lemmytrix, @dailycomic@sh.itjust.works, @saucechan@ani.social, and @mofumatic@sakurajima.moe.

At the same time, it should have some barrier for entry.

If you need a piece of software to hold your hand every step of the way, you maybe shouldn’t be responsible for a bot.

And it’s not really something you can easily make general purpose software for. There is the RED bot for discord, but it is a huge project and still relies on user-created add-ons to do more specific things.

Me, with only one cat: I’m doing life incorrectly

Well, gocomics changed how their stuff works, again.

Fixed, again, for now.

Yeaa somethings wrong here.

No I am scraping the image file url from the html in python.

They’ve slightly changed the domain it’s hosted on twice now.

The url is still there, even on the page that tries to upsell you to subscribe. It just covers the normal page.

This is already a thing. Here is what I see on subordinate mods in communities I created.

Another breaking change over on gocomics… Fixed. For now.

Wine: wtf is this shit?

Fair.

It does make for a much more compelling allegory for society, as much like prison, it’s really hard to “exit” society.

While opting out of moderated social media is not difficult at all.

Right. Then I’ll just open up your banking history here on lemmy…

Oh wait.

And words have meaning. You can’t just point to their etymology and claim they can be used to refer to everything you consider slightly related.

The fact is, the word panopticon has very specific meaning, and specifically refers to prisons. And you didn’t even get it right. The original concept doesn’t involve constant surveillance, but the possibility of constant surveillance.

Otherwise every single room with someone wearing sunglasses in it, would be one, because you can’t tell whether that person might be looking at you at any given moment.
