IMO it’s part distraction part MWWS

I was at my parents house where it was being discussed nonstop on the news, then during a commercial break they showed a picture of a brown 9yo kid who has been missing since November of last year for five seconds.

When the news came back, they were talking about the missing 84yo woman and I made the decision to not pay attention and block it from my news feed

I guess the other difference is that YouTube isn’t traditional media, the content you consume on there has no exclusivity or anything. And the creators producing it are incentivized to go where the biggest audience is (which will always be something free) to maintain relevance and gain bigger sponsorships

Something like Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc. pays for the content in advance with MAYBE some royalties (and never a lot) and they own the media produced. YouTube doesn’t pay for production (they tried this and it failed horrifically) they pay a portion of the revenue that gets generated from viewership

This only makes sense if watching for free with ads wasnt an option, if they wanted more money they would just raise the cost of premium

I feel like communities being particular is exactly why it should be federated. You can have your account on your instance with you and your friends, but connect to another instance dedicated to a community of hardcore pen enthusiasts with the same account, and no one has to worry about getting money somehow to support hosting all these communities in a single place :)

I also tried over the course of three days to make a stoat account and couldn’t get the verification email to go through.

It’s also centralized with no plans to include federation, so we’d be running from a burning ship to a smoking one

Unfortunately, legality is one thing and enforcement is another. I’ve yet to see action be taken against illegal parking in NYC. Even when it’s been called in and reported.

Same goes for housing violations & hit and runs

Pilk.

Is this/the replies sarcasm? Its just a picture of an Apple store on an article about Apple, who cares where it’s located? And how does that make this worse quality journalism?

Idk about FOSS but unifi is all locally hosted!

Yeah true, i do think it’s more grey than that though.

For example, i don’t really love AI but i have to use it at work for my metrics because management wants to see utilization of it. So, there’s no possible way for me to avoid it entirely, i might as well use it on occasion for stuff outside of work at this point because im already a user whether I like it or not

Lemmy has, what, like 70k MAUs? If everyone here stopped using these platforms (many of which im sure already use them very minimally) it wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket of big techs user base.

No idea tbh, it seems to have commits from 5 months ago but no new releases

Probably a fine buy, you can get m.2s for it and it should be silent at idle. With the level of silence you want, you’re gonna have to do some sort of low power mini PC & ssds.

A quick caution, don’t cheap out on your ssds! The cheap ones are low quality and have high premature failure rates (ask me how i know 😭)

This looks cool, interested to see how this stacks up against Monica & if there are plans for a mobile app

Polyamory, multiple partners and they each have multiple partners

I’m no fancy bukkake expert

Yeah, sure, @[email protected]

I used jerboa for a while back in 2023, but ultimately I’ve settled on Connect. Its slightly different but still pretty similar to rif

RIP rif 😭 i hope one day the dev makes an apl for Lemmy (i know they pivoted to tildes)

I think anyone running a home server qualifies as an enthusiast, there are more uses for home servers than just plex lol

There are definitely valid reasons to use SSDs in a server/array. One of my proxmox servers runs 4x m.2s in raidz1 so all my vms are super snappy. Depending on what you’re running you can really see benefits, for example:

• Elastic Stack
• Network storage for photo editing
• Lemmy
• Immich

Pretty much anything with a lot of metadata or tons of files will see benefits from running on SSDs, this comes with the caveat that cheap ssds wear quickly and are a pain in the ass but if you need it, you need it
