Your friendly AI overlord

So says literally everyone I have ever seen comment on the matter. Seriously, is there anyone out there that has tried CarPlay/AndroidAuto and said "eh, I don't see the point"?

Honestly kind of a hilarious misunderstanding of Lemmy too. Beehaw will never replace reddit because they explicitly do not want to and have already taken aggressive steps to make sure that they don't (i.e. detailed application requirements and defederating multiple instances).

Especially when you're GM. It's already an extreme longshot that I was ever going to buy another GM car, but this is 100% the final nail in the coffin.

Apollo is literally just one dude. He should do whatever he wants. He had a good run, almost certainly made a life-changing amount of money and is ready to move on. I can totally respect that.

I also think anyone who says <app> should "just" <thing> probably has never written anything as complex and popular as Apollo before. There really is no "just" anything at that scale.

I think things have tightened up a lot over there in the last 5 or so days. I don't even remember what I put (definitely nothing more substantial than yours) and I have an account over there of similar to age. People who have tried to sign up more recently have mentioned being rejected after multiple serious looking responses.

There is an official announcement here: https://lemmy.ml/post/2540874

$3.33/month? I too would like to know who your VPS provider is.

400 miles doesn't get you halfway across a single state in the western US.

AFAIK, you can't load comments on posts manually. You only get comments that are pushed to your instance after someone has subscribed to the community containing the post.

Even with in-video ads, those must be paid based on historical (or actual?) view counts right? No matter how big you are, there's no way you're going to maintain view counts when switching away from YouTube.

I think you're underestimating the number of requests that a server can handle. Even my tiny instance currently sees dozens of requests every second and is very lightly loaded. A single request per minute is an immeasurably small load.

Federation works in the opposite direction. It's push-based rather than pull-based. To get posts from Beehaw, Beehaw has to actively push those posts to your instance. With this move, Beehaw is choosing to no longer push posts to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

The radio means almost nothing to me. The ability to have my choice of mapping app on the dash is 90% of the value and absolutely indispensable.

It's a brewery in Southern California. No wait, it's a small rock.

(Serious answer, it's a unit of measurement equal to 14 pounds.)

Are you speaking from first hand experience? I don't have experience with commercial satellites, but I can say from direct experience that scientific satellites and other spacecraft absolutely run a (real-time) traditional OS these days (and even a decade ago). That said, we do take serious measures to secure our vehicles. I don't think I want to say any more than that given the nature of the discussion.

I would suggest joining us on the Lemmy matrix space, particularly the "Lemmy Instance Admin" channel. It's much easier to help in semi-real time.

I agree. Sadly it seems the rest of the world does not. Hopefully as Lemmy matures we can get to a point where features are not pushed put half-baked because there aren't enough people willing and able to give thorough code reviews.

Another vote for Synology here. I have 2 RT2600 and 1 RT1600 between myself and my parents houses. They have been completely bullet proof and the oldest one is going on 7 years old now.

If that's really the definition, it's an awful definition and exactly why we shouldn't regulate stuff like this. Torx are objectively better than Philips or flathead in every possible way.

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it's worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.

This made me realize why I found this whole question so confusing. I write code professionally, but don't really do open-source professionally or personally. There's just very little reason for two people to be writing code in the same file in the same week in my job. If it does happen, it still doesn't usually come close enough to cause a conflict. The rare case I find myself resolving merge conflicts is usually because I have some super old stash that I decide I actually want to apply months later.

For Lemmy in particular I would suggest joining the Matrix chat. There's quite a lot of activity related to working out and reporting issues that happens there.

This only proves that you can't unilaterally migrate a subreddit. That instance currently has ~250 users. I don't know how active the subs it represents were, but surely they had at least an order of magnitude more active users than that?

If I read the announcement correctly, that is implemented by a bot with mod privileges that parses comments and takes actions on users' behalf. I don't think it's practical to literally make every user a moderator.

This used to work. The latest block of shorts that they added in the subscriptions page that is not removable.

I'm with you on this one. I got moderately stuck at one point pretty early on in the game (I'm not sure, but I think my save was probably bugged). Anyway, I put the game down and never touched it again. Didn't feel like I had lost anything at all.

I think GP is saying the the total income from Premium doesn't cover the cost of running all of Youtube, not that a single premium subscription doesn't cover that one user's costs, which it obviously does (or the people running YouTube are truly idiots).

I wish we could leave cynical takes like this back on Reddit. They don't add anything of value to the conversation.

I don't think that has really been common practice for many years. Fake "Edit" messages for comedic affect have long outnumbered real edit messages.

I've never been a Zelda fan, but this list makes me think I should try BotW :D

Yeah, after I got my lemmy and matrix servers up and running I started looking at doing mail myself... The rabbit hole just kept getting deeper and darker, and MTAs seems to have stopped evolving in the 90s so I gave up. Email for my lemmy instance is now handled by Google. I've always used on of the big players (currently Outlook because I got a good username when they opened up the outlook.com domain) for my personal email.

Well if you broaden the definition that much, then it sounds like iPhone batteries are already user replaceable since I can easily purchase the necessary tools from iFixIt.
