It’s a fair point, but I don’t think I’m worthy, hence why I asked. Lol

i’m on beehaw and they don’t just create communities, hence why I asked here. Seems like I’m getting a number if uovotes, so not sure if others are interested in my question or woukd like to see folks posting when they go live here. Any and all thoughts are appreciated.

Obviously wondering mod and communities thoughts as well. This is all of our space imo.

I’m a linux nerd and I jut run stock Fedora. It’s desktop is like a phone UI, so lots of folks are familiar with it.

I then use a wireless keyboard and trackball. T

here are tons of remotes out there,but I don’t have any experience with then. Let me know if you find a good remote though. 😁

At this point just get a rasbperry pi, or some similar device, and run it as a regular computer. Firefox, ublock origin, don’t worry about ads, and turn it into a machine that is capable of soooooooo much more. Hell, any PC will work. Steam Deck, NUC, that old laptop you have laying around? Been running little NUCs on my TVs for years and so happy I don’t have to put up with that nonsense.

Invidious still wotks great for me.

There’s also Piped.

Peertube is also gaining traction and I personally enjoy that, just needs more content creators to stop worrying about chicken and egg and start protecting their content.

As someone that watches Twitch through MPV, I can confirm watching “Ad Playing” is preferable to actually watching an annoying ad.

Probably the best gaming hardware purchase I’ve ever made. Play weekly, take it with us on vacation so we can hook it to hotel tvs and not put up with cable or smart tv BS. Absolutely love it.

While I think she’s missed too much, she’s quite old, and I think she should be replaced (though I’m not in her area so this is a moot point really), did anyone here actually watch the video?

This is a confusion in procedure and happens all the time.

Here is the video, go to 53:40 approximately:

lol are you on my machine? :-D

This is the part that caught my attention:

Privacy features like user-agent reduction, IP reduction, preventing cross-site storage, and fingerprint randomization make it more difficult to distinguish or reidentify individual clients, which is great for privacy, but makes fighting fraud more difficult.

And we do those things, not because we’re fraudsters, but because we’re trying to protect ourselves from the likez of YOU!

YOU did this, change your model and maybe it’ll be better? Oh! But! Mooooooooney! I forgot. Stupid me.

This is the fucking bully telling the nerd that if he doesn’t just HAND OVER his lunch money, that he’ll get beat. It’s YOUR fault! Not OURS!

Edit: Formatting and added about bully

Edit 2: fixing the formatting of the formatting edit. :-D lol

Sadly this. I yelled at MIL when Roe was overturned and a 10 year old made headline news. Her response was “BUT THE MEXICANS!”. They literally don’t give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves and blaming absolutely EVERYONE else.

Good news! Save it for 20 years and read it again! 😁

Where can one find that episode? … FOR A FRIEND OF COURSE!

Pandora has amazing stations that randomize like music. I’ve found lots of new artists this way and love it.

I misinterpreted that part or missed it. With you now. Thank you!

We don’t know they didn’t design and implement it. Happens all the time where you imolement a feature, it works, there’s a regression and you have no clue. 40 min to resolve means it’s there, no way you’re building that completely, testing it, oushing it in that tineframd.

I coukd be wrong.

They also gave me crippling anxiety. Sure showed me!

I was worried there for a second. The oak trees I’ve seen are green ans brown.

NO! No bugs! Be perfect!

Seriously though, I’ve seen way dumber shit in “production” ready code.

I won’t use Bluesky, but this happens all the time. I also don’t see the issue.

I’ve told folks before, once and last time in front of developers (they didn’t find it funny) , that all code is shit. Not because they’re bad at it, but because it’s impossible to account for EVERY possible factor. They always make a better idiot. US: “Here’s this square.” Them: “I cut the corners off to fit it into the round hole and it no works!”

Can’t argue with that logic.

I’m ok with this.
