The encrypted files are very suspicious and, in the new canary, they removed the part that stated they didn't receive a gag order: https://web.archive.org/web/20240405132835/https://cock.li/transparency/warrant-canary.txt

It's possible that it's Vincent's way of warning the users of a gag order. He may be an insufferable edgy little twat but he cares a lot about transparency and, had he received a gag order, he would definitely try to communicate it

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, you tell me

Yes! uYouPlus is amazing although it can be a pain to install because of Apple's shenanigans. It's a collection of patches over the official YouTube app

It runs fine! :)

32-bit Windows programs can run on 64-bit Windows just fine thanks to WoW64 (with probably very few exceptions)

I see, thanks! Also your cat pics are adorable, thank you for blessing us with them <3

Dumb question: How do you differentiate between these two? I've been staring at this picture for a while but I can't find any obvious differences between Weenie and Leonard

These poor souls stayed on the Gopher protocol... Their families never saw them again :(

That'd be my take as well: imo this anon is taking part of a truth and turning it into an extreme. But I'm curious as to what other people think about this :)

Sorry to butt in but why is my fellow waffle's demand not possible? :(

NSFW is how you tag stuff that you don't want your colleagues to see on your screen at work: it's not just for porn!

"For the last week of this year, we are shutting down our stores, warehouse and offices in the United States and Canada because our people need a break."

Doesn't look like it. It uses Nostr which is an alternative to ActivityPub that makes sure your identity isn't tied to one instance (apparently)

Yup! In that case, this is not an answer that can be solved "mathematically" as you asked: convincing a large group of total strangers to do something for you is within the realm of crowd psychology.

If r/place showed us anything, it's that you can get people to work hard together if you make them feel part of a community. Maybe creating a Lemmy community whose goal is to keep all posts within that community at 69% would work?

Not sure if that's the answer you wanted but that's how I've understood your question so don't hesitate to correct me :)

Is your question "what is the probability for one of my post to have 69% upvotes"? This should be answered by a binomial distribution!

According to this website, for p=0.5; n=100; and x=69 the probability should be ~0.005%.

This means that if 100 people vote your post perfectly randomly, the chance of getting 69% upvotes is ~0.005%. This number will also become smaller if more people start voting since given an infinite amount of votes, the ratio of upvotes should converge towards the chance that a person gives your post an upvote (aka. 50%) so we'd get even further from our 69% target.

Basically, if people vote perfectly randomly it's unlikely to get to exactly 69%. Such is the fate of us mortals :(
