Didn’t even know this was a thing, and since I live by multiple monitors, this makes me glad I’ve held off.

I believe programming.dev is the main instance for all programming related communities that left reddit.

After Google approval, what is the size of the tester pool?

Had the same thought. Glad it’s not just me.

You can install the kbin interface as a PWA on mobile, and it works pretty well. There are some kinks for sure, but it’s 100% usable and better than lemmy.

Claiming there’s savings just isn’t true in reality. If they came out and said it’s to help reduce energy consumption to save the planet I’d be all in, and I’m still in for this, but it just makes it hard to fully support with the gaslighting as you aptly put.

Coming in hot with the real answer as to why it feels that way on the fediverse relative to the rest of the internet.

Power Toys Run (from the paper toys suite) is a fantastic launcher that’s better than the start menu.

Sshfs to Nas? Does that mean you have a persistent ssh session open from your host and are using it as a file system to a self hosted Nas at your home? Or did I misunderstand that?

Stack exchange is CC licensed, and they host a lot of user content.

Where do you think is a reasonable price? Search is something most folks use daily, multiple times per day. If the quality of results is good, that seems like a small price to pay. Netflix is pushing 20 a month, and many other streaming services are in the 10—15 range.

Sad thing is, plenty of people will lap this up as a good thing and see it as a benefit. At least at first, until they realize they have to watch some TV based ads before they watch the ad roll on their YouTube video, followed by the second screen showing some banner ad the whole time. Yick.

Can’t argue with that. It’s not cheap, but it’s fully self hosted and works offline and that’s hard to beat.

From kbin, you can just boost it right from the web site.

Unifi has good equipment, works very well with a small self hosed cloud key or dream machine.

Could still get hacked, but the point stands that is an extra level of verification.

It’s always been cool, but a lot of people gave it up due to lack of good quality tools and content sites actively working against it. Glad to see the community is still alive and trying to get back to it.

I’m a big user user of weather.gov, but curious what you mean by blaming weather service for this not being convenient?

This is a tricky problem to solve for sure. I’ve been battling it for a while myself.

Not a huge surprise there is a large anti-capitalist faction on lemmy, so this isn’t terribly surprising.

I’m no meta apologist, they’ve done enough to warrant skepticism. The reality is they can harvest the data even if you defederate their main instance, by setting up shadow instances or just scraping other instances, so that argument doesn’t really hold water for defederation. The bigger one is content vs spam coming from their instances and possible EEE measures, but immediate defederation only serves to keep them siloed off and does not let them function as an offramp to better instances for regular users.
