I could never get this to work with my Sonos speakers but always had hope so I wouldn’t need to use their stupid app.

I don’t know when it got fixed because I haven’t tried in several months, but it’s working now!

QUIK SMS — Open source replacement to the stock messaging app on Android. It is a continuation of QKSMS.

This is crazy, officials said.

I figured that would be the case but also thought it was worth asking. I appreciate the effort and the info and I’ll try to start with good practices (like roles, didn’t know about those).

I’m starting to learn Ansible for pretty much this exact purpose. I’ve got a bunch of bash scripts that do this but hoping to switch. Would you be willing to share those playbooks or at least some resources you used?

Plasma Bigscreen just got some love. Maybe more eyes on the project will help get the ball rolling.

I do like the idea of leaving the curation of content in the hands of the user.

I think the mentality should be more common, and the tools should make it easy, to filter out content the same way it’s easy and common to follow a community/topic that adds to your feed.

Almost all social platforms have a method at the forefront to “see more content like this” but a lot don’t have “see less of this”, and if they do, it’s a buried setting.

It’d be really interesting for mods and admins to get a list of users’ exclude list, either of post keywords or user blocks, to see trends and stats on the content that people don’t want to see.

Sublinks

Thank you! I have been trying to remember the name of “that other” link aggregator since I first heard about it two years ago.

I kept thinking about it and getting it confused with Substacks.

Wait, I thought it was the government that was putting the chemicals in the trails in the first place, and now their making their own actions illegal?

We’ve got to install Microsoft Defender, Edge, and PowerShell on Ububtu so that the device will be flagged as compliant in Intune.

I think I know where in the code this could be happening for the web UI.

I’m not one of the devs but I’ll look into this a bit, I’ll update this comment when I get more info.

I believe ! should be changed to [!@] in this line
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/129fb5b2f994e02bfecc36e3f6884bdbf485b87a/src/shared/config.ts#L47

And another elseif(match…) needs to be added for @ after this line
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/129fb5b2f994e02bfecc36e3f6884bdbf485b87a/src/shared/markdown.ts#L127

In hindsight, I wrote that line after seeing some code on Github that I thought was for ActivityPub, but when I went back to it later I realised it was for Mastodon.

It’s a bit confusing because each action on the Fediverse uses the same universal language, but each service translates that language into their own specific rolls for their service.

Lemmy upvotes use “Like” which is common language in ActivityPub but down votes use “Dislike” which is not* also used in the ActivityPub language. It’s up to the other services how they interpret that. Mastodon favourites use “Like” but it has nothing for “Dislike”. Mastodon boost uses “Announce” which is what Lemmy uses for posts and comments to a community.

There are also some actions that use the ActivityPub language on both services but one simply just doesn’t send that action to the other service. Mastodon users can follow Lemmy users but Lemmy users cannot follow any users. I think Mbin does allow following users.

From the Lemmy ActivityPub documentation

An upvote for a post or comment send an ActivityPub Like action

Users can send posts or comments to a community which the community forwards to its followers in the form of Announce.

From the Mastodon ActivityPub Documentation

ActivityPub Like is transformed into a Favourite.

ActivityPub Announce is transformed into a boost on a status

I had to get someone to find a wireless keyboard they left in a random box because they never used it, yet they still connected the USB receiver for it.

If there’s anyone who has any valuable input about multiple accounts, it’s this guy.

We’re just poking for a bit of fun. The Free and Open Source rabbit hole goes very deep. For example, Intel and AMD processors have code on them that isn’t free meaning the purists will not use them unmodified.

Everyone has a threshold where privacy and freedom interfere with convenience, just stick with the level you’re comfortable with.

I was expecting something like version 0.112 but this is pretty close.

Why cross-post to the same community this was already posted to?

If you’re more into making your own circuit boards, there’s a project that provides open schematics for RatGDO that uses the same ESPhome firmware.

JLCPCB had a sale on PCB assembly and I was able to order 5 boards assembled and ready to go for about $25. I already had the ESP microcontrollers, just had to add three wires, flash the controller, and solder it to the board.

It unlocked so much more control over the MyQ integration. It actually showed me how much of a joke the MyQ app is considering how much more can be done with $10 worth of parts and code that random people on the internet made.

Yeah, it was from awhile ago. I couldn’t remember if it was one or two hundred thousand. I’ve corrected my comment to be more accurate. Here’s an article on it.
