It is absolutely baffling that people don’t realize that people are the product. I’ve had some folks tell me that they understand and “don’t care” because the service is “free” or whatever, but then they get angry and freaked out when the platform knows exactly what they’re thinking, or at least seems to know.

There’s definitely a deficit in understanding and education on what corporate social media really does.

I don’t have any suggestions, but I’m curious what “design and development” flaws you see as major blockers with Lemmy?

Damn, I didn’t think of it quite like that, but yup, that’s exactly the result.

No longer pissed and you don’t bother me…

Perfect timing for me! I was starting to plan out how I was going to transcode my media library and had decided to write a script to do it. So I’ll give this one a try!

Well that’s just super neat! I will absolutely be giving it a go sometime soon. Thanks for sharing and for building!

It’s crazy to me that a company can just abandon hundreds (or thousands?) of 700 pound machines all over the place like this. I feel like there should be some kind of court order for the person last in charge of the company to drive the fuck around the country and clean up their mess.

Thanks for digging those up! I figured it was somewhere around that range. I’ve had it be fairly accurate within a couple feet, but I’ve also had Bluetooth proximity show much further.

Does Yunohost use containers like CasaOS? I’ve been using CasaOS for miscellaneous home stuff, but I can’t explain or justify it, I just don’t like containers.

Anyone know what kind location accuracy Bluetooth 5 currently has?

Just about to start a rewatch of The Wire for the first time in 14 years. Gonna be great!

I love Moon! Such a fantastic sci-fi movie. I always suggest that one to folks looking to watch one.

I’m curious, what is the sitemap endpoint used for generally?

Oh damn, I didn’t even catch that!

It is absolutely infuriating. It blows my mind that you can have a USB 3.2 Gen2 cable that does everything you need it to, except for the fact that it doesn’t support Power Delivery and a lot of the time you won’t even know, so if you’re sending high wattage through it there’s a real possibility you’re gonna burn some to kind up.

I know, it is a never ending source of minor comedy that “Universal” is right there in the name.

“USB 4 2.0”… someone should really do something about the incredibly goofy naming scheme.

It is more complicated than that. There are multiple different server components that make up Bluesky and its federation. The PDS (Person Data Server) is what they’re mostly talking about in that press release. You can however run all three major server components yourself and setup a completely separate network that would then federate with Bluesky proper. It’s quite different to Mastodon and other ActivityPub services (where you setup a Mastodon, Lemmy, WriteFreely, etc… instance and then federate).

Still, at present it does feel a little pointless.

I like your example there a lot, I’m going to use that in the future when I’m trying to express that notion. In the past I’ve never been able to articulate that exact concept. So thanks!

I would love to see some sort of remastered directors cut of that movie. It has definitely started showing its age, but it’s still high up on my list of great movies.
