Kinda reminds me of creaper world.

Same, i enjoy it here!

This style of posting lends itself to having “hot takes” get upvoted and actual discussions have middling success.

At least with us, you can chose the tech and put it up yourself. Like right now you are using slrpnk.net and im using piefed.social on a lemmy.world server. Without any issues. We (the collective WE) made this happen without huge billionaires having a strangle hold on the way we interact. Its not perfect, but its better than a LOT of the alternatives.

Fantastic series, thanks for introducing me!

The screenshot really should have a cat photo on it.

Looks great! GL!

Cant know until we try!

I wish meshtastic did any of that. Its more like a worse pager. Fun hobby to get into but its not all that great at reliable packets.

I have some friends that are thinking of investing into some HiLow systems and making our own intranet. Or a meshnet. Seems like a fun project.

And no random bot scans, no agencies, no nothing but our own sites.

Windows has better accessability features than linux does. Itsn ot talked about much but ive been in meetings with people with disabilities, survivors of accidents, etc… and Windows is the only real option. If you are blind there are standard programs that they use.

Its the one area i think linux could use real work. A couple of places ive put in pull requests to help out from time to time.

Otherwise linux is generally better ;)

Plus almost everyone developing the platforms we are using is doing it for negative money. Like a LOT of negative money. And its not really all that many people. We think they are huge teams but a literal handful are keeping a lot of the fedi up and running.

They are doing it out of a passion.

…or hate for other platforms? Hate can be a great motivator.

You can get some of those interop in Mbin and piefed. Lemmy just takes a while to develop. You can already see Mastodon threads in Mbin. But I see your point, the overall protocol implementation is ALL over the place. Its very hard to keep up with what supports what.

It is evolving when you get on the beading edge. Its usually the even smaller stuff like snac2/piefed/mbin/gotosocial etc… its all over the place.

Honestly what I want is the ability for mastodon to act like an RSS feed instead of one big wall. Have each individual as a separate feed. Because my current gotosocial/mastodon is flooded with people that post 30+ times a day somehow drowning out people that post 1/2 times a blue moon. Im working on something that may do the job in the future, but the code is VERY raw so it may never see release.

I wonder if someone is trying out an AI or something and seeing the results. Then deleting. More evidence will pop up eventually.

It sticks around in other software just FYI. Maybe lemmy should have something that admins can do? Maybe something super admins can re-instate if a mod states should be un-deleted? I dunno.

I was in the medical insurance industry for a number of years. Its such a cold calculation. glad I am out. Also glad im in an area where all this is covered if God forbid I get it.

If one finds themselves in that situation: you can get life insurance and cash out if you get Cancer. “accelerated death benefit”

We have west nile and many others. Its very bad. Theres a metric ton of them bugs here.

This reminds me of bitcoin so much. At first there was a rush for cpu then gpu then specific miners. Then specialty hardware. We are here now. So silly.

thats some bull

Ive seen this many MANY times. But I think people forget that most open source are passion projects.

You are owed nothing at all when someone publishes their code on the internet. Thats what it is, its just an instruction manual to do a thing. Unless you pay something for the privilege of support, complaints will do next to nothing. Even now on lemmy/piefed/fedi.

So much fun!

I think the difference is that in 10 years when the steam deck is on its final legs, we can still play our games unlike most other consoles.

It might be a spare laptop, steam machine, or something else entirely. But we will presumibly be able to play.
