I’m pretty fond of these little Velcro straps I got from Amazon that are like 10cm x 30cm, you use them to push all your computer cables into them so you can neaten them up. I’ve got several of them strapped back to back and it’s a pretty decent solution (and being Velcro you can just pull it apart later on)

Great work mate ♥️

Always good to see more people looking into platforms besides Twitter, plenty of great places out there

Make sure to never include your face when sending nude pics. Plenty of anonymous dick pics out there.

I thought the selling point behind most Twitter like services is that it’s focused on negative positioning. E.g. things that are negative focused get more attention and engagement

The best take on here. The reasonable one that still highlights how much better it is compared to other mainstream services

I’d like to highlight that there’s been a recent PR that’s added the licensing to several files

https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/1006

Yeah that’s the most brazen part. They’re more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren’t taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the “free market” produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.

Actually had to re-read old mates comment above us to see if I was missing satire / sarcasm. Like no way anyone legitimately thinks like this? 🤯

I’ve raised this in the matrix chat and have flagged this again to Ernest. I know initially about 2 months ago when the exodus happened that he was scrambling around trying to keep the server running as everyone joined.

Over the last few weeks he’s be busy with a flood of PRs with either fixes, new features or support for the upcoming API integration.

I had no idea this ticket existed (mostly because there’s been almost 1000 tickets submitted and I’ve been working on improvements)

Hopefully he can have a look at this and fix these issues soon, I seriously don’t think this was done maliciously, but I’ll do what I can to raise it (I have minimal exposure to open source licensing so I don’t want to touch these files myself)

I think the end conclusion wasn’t great. He said

It wouldn’t matter if it dropped 20 degrees

It absolutely would matter. Just like how a 4090 costs an absurdly high amount but people will still buy it. For the right person getting 20 degrees knocked off might be worthwhile regardless of how expensive it is.

The critiques that Steve laid out in this video were perfectly fine, highlighting the shortcomings of LMG when it comes to actually reviewing content (which is what they’re pivoting to, away from 100% entertainment content). A typical Linus arrogant take where he’ll learn nothing.

Lots of upcoming bug fixes and improvements for kbin. It’s been a slow process but super keen to get them out finally

The vast majority of comments in here seem to be focused on the attitude of “why you trying to start shit”

But legitimately from an outside presiding perspective, which instances have people found to be decent, there seems to be a heap of Lemmy instances, each with their own rules and vibes, so what’s the go?

Cheers for the tool mate

PayPal can just up and freeze your account at any moment, keeping all of your money locked away. I’ve read of several ebay sellers who’ve used PayPal before and ran into Issues when trying to withdraw. If I wouldn’t trust them with regular payments, why would they be anymore appealing as a crypto coin?

I’d also say the brand reputation has taken a pretty decent hit with their awful handling of the situation. With an upcoming IPO you think they would have handled it carefully but they just seemingly YOLO’d it

Seen plenty of people calling for the de-federation ban-hammer whenever they find comment they like. There’s fine line between having an open space and an echo chamber and if it were up to these people we’d federate with no one

At least on modern Android you can long press on most text and get that little zoomed in indicator (so you can more easily adjust the selection)

I remember that being stuck in iOS limbo for years, glad we have that but yeah it’s not super consistent right now copying

100% this. I found it very disappointing that in order to achieve their arbitrary security policy that they sacrificed SMS fallback

I have no idea why it wasn’t just an option on setup or a configuration setting so that it defaults to encrypted messaging by default and then falls back to SMS for numbers that don’t support it (if enabled)

From their statement back in the days it always felt like they could have found a way to make this work but simply didn’t want to
