That’s an extremely poor choice of sponsorship for that particular video, made me laugh quite a bit

Firstly, you can choose an instance that doesn’t federate with them. Everyone can choose for themselves. And second you didn’t read it probably, they’re testing it and there a handful of accounts that have activity pub enabled. That certainly doesn’t make them the biggest presence.

It’s great that everyone is able to choose for themselves

It sounds like Henriette couldn’t keep up due to health issues and I hope she’s doing okay under the circumstances.

It feels like there is one app per user and since Lemmy hasn’t been growing much (looks like it’s been shrinking lately) it’s probably unavoidable for this to happen. I’d love to see everything grow, but that’s just the hype cycle I guess. I’m pretty sure this sadly won’t be the last project to slowly fade out of existence.

Sorry to be such a downer ^^

Amazon is adding full-screen video ads that will play when you start your Fire TV unless you quickly perform an action on it. […] “Our focus is on delivering an immersive experience so customers can enjoy their favorite TV shows and movies, as well as browse and discover more content they’ll want to watch. We’re always working to make the Fire TV experience better for customers and have updated one of the prominent placements in the UI to play a short content preview if no other action is taken by a customer upon turning on their Fire TV.” Amazon said in a statement to Cord Cutters News.

Sure, that’s definitely a feature for customers. Especially the fact that you can only click it away in the first few seconds. I also love to have my ads be immersive. Biggest pile of bullshit I’ve heard this week.

The second half sounds a lot like an ad for Lemmy ^^

I tried importing my Evernote stuff into Apple notes and apparently attachments import is broken in Sonoma which is just great. Any other way to import from Evernote to Apple notes?

Thanks for giving it a shot, I’m glad it’s working. Having multiple shortcuts is always a bit of a pain to share/set up, but it keeps things a bit more modular. Maybe this should’ve just been a single shortcut, everything else was hopefully not too confusing :)

Just to clarify:

The Pin isn’t always recording or even listening for a wake word, instead requiring you to manually activate it in some way. It has a “Trust Light,” which blinks on whenever the Pin is recording.

Might not make a difference for people as long as it’s pointing at them and could be recording, but you made it sound like it always is. I also don’t find it desirable in any way, especially with that subscription price tag.

I do get the idea of having a different device form factor for an AI device, but I don’t think we’re there yet for what AI can do. Still interesting through.

And what Facebook TV/camera device are you talking about? The Quest 3? Or Ray ban glasses?

Still cute

Well, that at least explains what community I ended up in. Thanks for the clarification.

No way am I saying it should go unopposed. But I also don’t think “ripping out intruders and casting them into fire” is going to be a feasible solution in this case.

I don’t live in the US btw, if that’s what you mean by “Settler”.

(Are we continuing the discussion by editing the comments now? ^^)

What’s the solution that involves violence? It can be a wake up call to start a discussion, but I don’t see how things are going to be solved by it. But you tell me.

I‘m not trying to argue for one side here and I’m certainly no expert in this conflict. All I’ve been saying is that violence is probably not going to be the solution here. Especially not the kind of violence that Israel is and has been putting Palestinians through.

Apparently that’s an unpopular opinion, but to free themselves the ideal path forward is to conduct terrorist attacks on civilians? That certainly didn’t seem to improve things. And bombing civilians isn’t a great response either.

Maybe how the conflict itself came to be isn’t simple (and calling anything simple that involves politics is probably always wrong). But the situation for the people in the Ukraine itself is pretty simple. They’re being attacked and they’re defending themselves.

I mean … one of these is a violent conflict where mostly civilians are being hit, on both sides. The other is a country defending itself from an invasion. One of these is really complicated and I’m pretty sure violence won’t solve much. The other one really isn’t complicated on the same level and violence (defense) is pretty much the only choice.

Yeah I think that’s to be expected and I didn’t want to imply that Lemmy is in a bad place, I don’t think it is. That’s just the life cycle of these things, as you said.

I also think Lemmy is in a much better place than it was when the big move during the Reddit blackout happened. Especially apps, but also the communities and the infrastructure.

I can imagine that with the next Reddit fuckup, which will surely happen sooner or later, it’s going to be quite comfortable to switch over.

That’s the fediverse though, ~80% of which is Mastodon. Lemmy itself has been in decline recently (Screenshot).

After an explosive growth (I think that’s always how things go), but still, recently it hasn’t been growing.

Is Lemmy actually growing? Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see it, but it feels and seems like things are slowing down a bit recently.
