Because they don’t always exist.
I feel that. I have maybe 3 friends who use Signal. The rest are spread out sms, fb, discord, etc…
I mean yes but, you don’t have to use it.
I have a home hub (got it on sale a while back) and I agree that it feels like it should be a small detachable tablet. This looks like the natural next evolution.
I’ve had a few android tablets. They’ve all been lackluster and unimpressive. This one, at least seems like it would serve a general purpose (home hub) with the added benefit of being able to detach it and use it as a tablet when needed.
In practice, I agree with you. The transporter scans, disintegrates, and reconstructs the thing being transported. But when the thing being transported is reconstructed at a subatomic level it is effectively identical.
I can imagine the society we see in startrek having already worked through the moral and philosophical implications. I would have loved to see that addressed in an episode tho.
Agreed. Many on this list, to me, seem too busy or an outright eyesore (btop). But bat does appear truly useful. I’ll be giving that one a try.
Feedly has fairly decent discovery features.
I’ve been using Feedly, ever since Google Reader was shut down. I’ve been happy with it and it has discovery features to find new feeds that interest you.
I used BaconReader for a long time and then switched to Relay several years ago. I’m going to miss it dearly.
I’ve been using nearlyfreespeech.net for (looks) 14 years now. Their business aligns with my ideals and I’ve always been happy with their service.
Change is hard and can be confusing. If the community remains open and helpful hopefully a real push can be made towards taking sites like Reddit down a few pegs.
Right. You see this on Reddit all the time. The community would be split and part would splinter off and start a new sub.
How hard if it to offer a nominally feed as free experience?
I just think we should kind of chill on trying to 1-for-1 replicate Reddit
I don’t think I want (or was asked for) a 1-to-1 replica of Reddit. Like I said, I get the pros of open source and federation. I’m just pointing out an immediately apparent pain point that I’d like to see be addressed at some point.
There’s pros and cons to both centralization and decentralization. I like the idea and the goal of decentralization and federation but you run into issues like this, that are counter-intuitive and will be a road block to broader acceptance. Especially with smaller communities.
I think having the option to aggregate those communities into one view could bridge that gap. Have it be optional. Heck, even allow users/servers to block specific communities if they want.
I like the idea of Lemmy but I don’t like the idea of having to subscribe to 7,10,15 different versions of a topic of interest spread across 25 different servers. Let me sub to “Technology” and have a toggle to display “all Technology communities across federated servers”.
I know it’s all about “engagement” but I feel like this is still driving traffic to the site. Which is kinda the opposite of leaving it.
Yeah. I clicked the link and I was presented with a “you must login or signup” to interact with it because it’s on a different server.
Box I built around a AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, running Ubuntu 22.04 and a handful of qemu VMs (owncloud, pihole, checkmk, etc…) A hand-me-down qnap I keep threatening to put truenas on but haven’t yet. A couple libre computer (pi alternative) boards. A couple tp-link managed switches.
On my to-do list are to deploy an old Dell mini as an OpnSense box to replace my router.
