nice stickers! I have a couple on my laptop too.

Ive actually ran corporate email servers for around 7 years at a couple of previous jobs. Ill be honest, I just dont want to do it. Its too much like work and for literal cents on the dollar I can have some entity deal with it.

Its the one thing I dont want to self host. Hell I even have my own lemmy/piefed I keep around for testing purposes. But email admin-ing over the years sucks

I hear you. You get used to one of the clients, the really awesome nitche communities, start making friends (or at least start recognizing the user names) and then…rug pull. The clients were removed, a lot of the ways we communicated with said people got MUCH worse. And then you discover people are getting paid to post/comment on reddit, teh whole AI thing…just felt crummy.

The last thing you want to do is make it harder/impossible for your power users, users that love your platform enough to make a free app to interact with it to use said platform. Its so dumb they made a competitor thats still going strong to this day (US).

Its nice when you go on Fedi websites and see ublock origin with 0 blocked elements.

Ill put it on the reading list :)

I remember the book series that was called rats, bats, and vats. Its sci-fi but It explores a bit of “Shareholders” AKA people who owned everything and “Vats” people born from vats/test tubes that owned nothing. In fact you owed the shareholders for being born and almost no one could pay for themselves. But if you only got one share, then you had much more rights in the society they found themselves in.

The only people that will make money are the Shareholders and only huge amounts of shares at that. Everyone else will become the “Vats”. Thats one such terrible way of living that I could very well see occurring in the US. Next generation land owners vs everyone else except its peoples time via shares.

So good :D. Thanks for sharing.

I like that they have a music video now of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HqLysSnnlQ

And reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsLN542nvGg (Three Kobolds in a Trenchcoat).

Im a sucker for these kind of videos.

Yep. And you can curate them. For example https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos

Its a mix of communities, peertube channels, and mastodon accounts attached to videos.

Yep. Thats what ive seen on both my instances. Piefed has had a lot of new features. Lemmy has had stable dev work.

Just take out the battery of any phone like a fairphone and most will work.

WOOOOOOO!

Dang…

Hope they come back soon. ;(

Heh coo.

Any idea if SDF is coming back? Loved that lemmy instance and the community around it.

My research was AI. Using a certain ai algorithm to find cancer tumors. The new ai funding is helping out adjacent projects.

Llms im still kinda iffy about since the tech requires a lot of copyrighted works just to get mediocure results.

AI is a HUGE field. But what people talk about is the llm side of things.

The community is pretty split. I know a lot of people are going to think the accoints are bots. Maybe they are.

But ive met people in real life that truely believe in llm ai solving all thier problems. Its not true bur thats what they believe.

Dank pods / James is great. My wife and I like watching during lunch.

nice. Ive thought about getting a smart watch but specifically for blood pressure. But ive seen a lot of reviews saying its not accredited. Which kinda sucks.

I think I either have a 4 or 5. Theres a website that has the batteries. NewPower99.com I got Amazon Kindle D01100 Battery Replacement Kit with Tools. Everything was mostly easy except the glue amazon used was HARD to get off the old battery! It was super stuck. Had to pry off the old battery and that could have gone bad. Risk of Spicy pillows. But it has many weeks worth of battery now.

Its my favorite ATM and its pretty old. I wish I could get another one OR get the screen replaced. I have a couple of spots on mine over the years of usage. I read on it almost every day. Its the only ebook reader that can work with ALL the text from https://wanderinginn.com/ . I bought the ebooks but my eyes hurt reading on the laptop for a long time. Plus I want a break from the same area of the house I work at. The new KOBO cant load more than 10MB of pure text. But the old kindle can!

I cant imagine transferring it to usb c. GL if you do decide to do it! I personally would get a small microusb to usb adapter and call it a day.

AS others have said you are correct. We had to buy a mac mini just to develop at one job.

If you dont make programs for mac then its much easier.

Theres a somewhat famous artist that is in my local area. He did a talk about paper (like papyras and all other kinds). It was fascinating! Over 40 people showed up to his talk.
