Yes it is, federation work is ongoing. I think stars are in beta.

I have not seen quadlets before, that’s really neat.

I have the exact same setup. It works perfectly and integrates really well into home assistant if that’s your thing. Getting a coral TPU also makes object detection really easy even on low power hardware.

The concept as I understand it is that Threads has the sheer volume of content to completely drown out the existing Fedi content if it fully opens the floodgates. If that occurs and say 90% of content becomes Threads and then they start making Threads only extensions to Activity Pub, servers will have to start patching those in and the Activity Pub project is defacto owned by Meta.

People also have issues with the Meta content moderation and the population on Threads, but as you noted that’s fixable on an individual and community level. The existential threat to the future of the Fediverse is why servers should defederate. Meta can’t and shouldn’t be trusted with any amount of power over this community project.

I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.

It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.

The helicopter example sounds like it would make for a great What If?. There’s so many good things in there I want answered.

Subatomic particles act in insane ways that are absolutely not mechanical or predictible. A very limited size of object behaves “normally”. I think believing that the universe mostly acts like our everyday objects is the skewed perspective.

They sold laptops with this feature at one time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5M0TwnkWUM&list=PLec1d3OBbZ8IBeFODHXLy0m0okuZhqJnT

The potential for distros optimized for specific tasks without needing to swap out entire kernels. A “gaming” focused scheduler probably looks different from a big data cruncher or a super multi-tasker server.

Yep Lemmy uses SMTP and in my experience most self-hostable platforms do as well. You can see in the Lemmy config documents how it gets set up: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/configuration.html.

They are wholly devoted to “conserving” systems that are designed to benefit cis, white, straight, wealthy, men at the expense of everyone else. I’m not sure how that could be “good” no matter how they went about it.

Made with Gtk4, WebKitGTK, libadwaita and Flatpak.

WebKit based, which is interesting. I don’t have much experience with WebKit on Linux.

Prostetics have gotten extremely advanced in the last 20 years. People are controlling and getting real feedback from replacement limbs.

Assholes think everyone is ignoring them because they don’t mince words, but actually everyone ignores them because they’re not as smart as they think they are.

Is it actually changing your display brightness or is it just doing a visual overlay like flux?

As I understand it, NAT is a firewall with only a very basic configuration: allow all outbound and accept only established inbound. If you don’t expect to have any incoming connections and completely trust all your internal devices then its good enough.

However, if you start wanting to port forward for servers (SSH, FTP, video games) you need to poke holes in the NAT firewall and it has no additional configuration options to help you. The same goes for if you have internal (ex. IoT) devices that you don’t necessarily trust, there are no rules to block outbound traffic.

I use the *arrs to make a well named hard link to the file in my media library right after the download completes. Then they can be removed from the torrent client after appropriate seeding time/ratio.

This thread is about bluesky…

I don’t see it as hypocritical at all. Public comments are, for me at least, put out for the public good. The same reason someone might license open source code with the MIT license. My issue with Reddit is that they restricted who can obtain the data and then privately sold them to only the highest bidder. They should be freely available to all who want to view them without restrictions on money or power.

But also Tim Cook’s total compensation for 2022 was $99 million and Satya Nadella’s 2023 was $48 million. Paying him more than CEOs of actually profitable companies and what amounts to nearly 1/4 of revenue is a pretty big outlier.
