Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.

  • Only reason I recently moved from that very card was to play with stable diffusion, otherwise yeah the ‘need’ to boost things for games and whatnot just isn’t there. Might be just that I’'ve never been a major twitch type gamer though, more Civ/StarCraft style.

    Edit: my dumb, was actually a 1650S I last switched from. Pretty sure the before that was a 760TI and probably mixed it up somewhere between them






  • I’m going to guess that there’s some kind of pruning going on just by virtue of the size of them. My Mastodon instance which is pretty well unused other than the few dozen people I followed on there has an image store or around 300 GB last I looked. Lemmy seems just as hungry though I’ve ran it for less time. Scaling that up to the biggest instance around and I’m sure they’re at many multi TBs of storage just for things to chill there. Those on outside instances might have cached copies that the home doesn’t though.


  • It’s a fine line but think of the format of something like NPR. They’ll make mention of being funded by X corp, but that doesn’t by extension mean that they are beholden to them in any way. Now if you talk poorly about your sponsors, particularly if it where untrue they probably won’t be sponsors in the future, but there’s no obligation on either side to mask things for another’s benefit.

    If they where in whole or major part given their operational funding by a singular entity that changes things a bit though. At that point you are owned and operated by some parent corp. In that case you would be expected to toe the company line or get shut down.

    These two are the difference meant in ‘independent journalism’. An entity may have a very heavy slant on their reporting but can still be independent. Take a look at the ‘improve the news’ feed/site/community, they have a left vs right (or whatever fits the story) headline version as part of each story. The same thing said with different words has major implications for the impression it gives off.
