SPAM

I use xmonad and won’t switch until there’s a viable alternative (probably never).

Remove the subsidies on agricultural products that get sprayed with glyphosate to increase yield. Corn, wheat, and potatoes in this country are poison because of the chemicals they spray them with…then they go and put that tainted product into sugars like HCFS.

cool. I probably wouldn’t have started this community had I been able to find it in a search.

Could you possibly link it? Even knowing it exists, I am STILL unable to find it in a search even when I search from my kbin account.

KBin’s cool and all (might even end up being better than lemmy in the long run) but it is in a WAY earlier stage of dev than Lemmy and it shows.

Capitalism turns anyone into a fucking soulless ghoul.

Randonneuring

long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy.

shouldn’t be be required to use a cloud service in order to use a piece of hardware that you bought and paid for.

of course. I didn’t really insinuate that it should.

But surely, a 3D printer could/can. It’s just that the software that runs on it shouldn’t have shit security and there should be multiple safeguards and redundant fail-safe systems.

iPhone 14 Pro w/ iOS 17 developer beta.

Honestly, if NixOS ever comes to a phone in any real way, I’ll probably eventually switch.

iOS is solid as hell compared to Android, IMO and I have a love- hate relationship with swift; wish I could use Haskell for a native iPhone app.

I have MPV setup to play any YouTube link when I press ctrl cmd m with a YouTube video url in my clipboard.

I did this with /r/Cardano mods back before Reddit was blocking all mention of the fediverse even in PM’s. I managed to get one of them to help mod my Cardano communities. I’d wager that it’s exceedingly hard to get in touch with mods over there now that Huffman is blocking fediverse recruitment.

It’s hard to find instances that offer what world offers, so I get it.

OTOH, I ended up moving or handing over most of my communities that I had created on world because this instance is TOO popular and bogged down all the time. Plus, they make arbitrary and drastic decisions without discussion on matters like defederation and often banning. It’s smart to go to a smaller instance but it’s also risky because any instance could go down at any moment. That’s why many of my communities are duplicated (across world and infosec) because it would be devastating to lose all of those quality links and engagement.

This is a barely-disguised ad.

I have a Pelican 1510 that I keep my camera stuff in as well as many other pelicans of different sizes; however, I don’t keep any batteries inside the cases…especially any that are Lithium Ion. I also keep a big packet of desiccant in the cases to prevent mold and fungus from spreading inside if left for long periods of time, unattended. These two items work together perfectly to preserve my gear. I suspect I could leave this gear in the cases for 100 years and come back to find all of it (except batteries) in 100% pristine condition.

This glitch is annoying. This link/project is dead in so many different ways.

• It’s not open source.

• The site is down.

• NodeRed actually does what this non-working app says it does.

Lemmy hug of death?

A few of the communities that I created here, I probably wouldn’t want to mod long-term. They’re a piece of cake at the moment but if the fediverse were to blow up, I’d have to hand them over to someone with more time.

!krita@lemmy.world , !gimp@lemmy.world , !darktable@lemmy.world , !guitaramps@lemmy.world , !offset@lemmy.world , !machinists@lemmy.world and a few others were just created to keep those names in safe hands and I’d prefer to safeguard them until I can pass them on to another person who is deeply committed to the collaborative spirit of FOSS and wants to run a community with fair and gentle moderation, no gate-keeping, and not ban-happy like /r/guitar on Reddit.
