On this topic, I'm really surprised that Apple made Airtags with batteries that can be changed by the user. I'm even more surprised they used the most common coin cell as the battery

SimilarWeb needs to invest a little in their presentation skills. A bar graph with no difference in the bar heights is not very interesting. And are they aware you can use more places after the decimal point? "1.7B" above each bar doesn't help at all.

Musk even encouraged people he fired to work for a competitor in a post he made in November. I don't have a link to it, but he was mocking their abilities and said that if their skills are so good, they will be welcome at another company.

Edit: found it

If you are a Grateful Dead fan, there are five days that are the least interesting: https://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/01-09-1965/

Jan 1, Jan 19, Feb 29, Aug 9 and Dec 25.

Those are the only days of the year that they never played a concert.

It reminds me of the occasional times where a corporate email would be sent out improperly to "all" in our company. A few people would reply all: "take me off this list". Then someone would reply all to those guys: "don't reply all". Then other people would reply all:"you are spamming the whole company!", etc.

It would take an hour or so to die off, but It was kind of amusing to see people react to the chaos. I assume the bitching about Reddit will die off naturally.

Following up on this, I'm hoping that some journalism organization sets up a "default" instance for verified journists to post from. It was nice having verified Twitter instances for this purpose.

I don't think that is necessarily relevant. Romania didn't seem to be in a hurry to arrest him until she made the post. I think the more relevant thing she did was to embarrass Romania into action.

I like the silly related quote:

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

I've had an Odroid running for many years, just as a Linux server to play with and automate some stuff on my home LAN. I was looking to upgrade to something with more RAM and found that the SBCs with more RAM get expensive pretty quick. Plus, there is the limitation of depending on a custom Linux build from the manufacturer that runs on the device. So I ended up buying a mini PC for not much more than an SBC with lots of RAM. There's this one, as an example for $150

I ended going higher in price with this one

But for just playing with Linux, these are much more useful because you can run any normal Linux distro.

I was thinking of various movies that constantly run on TV, but your comment made me realize that Cars or Polar Express is probably the correct answer. My son was obsessed with those movies when he was young and we had them on constant rotation.

I'll double-check my path.

You can use them if you aren't logged into your account. I still try BaconReader every once in awhile, just to see my old friend. Even the NSFW links worked just now.

It was buggy and the "Subscribed" feeds weren't showing anything. I just deleted and reinstalled and it's working well now.

I like that it shows the full community/instance name with each post. That lets me see where the content is coming from. It seems hidden on another apps I've tried.

Unfortunately his net worth has really jumped up since acquiring Twitter. He briefly went to #2 in the world, but has rebounded back to about $250B, which is where he was.

I like theoldreader. It looks like Google's reader from way back when

It's from a comedian but I can't remember who. Maybe Dennis Miller?

I can't get my second browser to connect to my existing account. I set up using Chrome, but in the Firefox extension it says "No Accounts Here" when I go into the Addon options. I don't see any way to connect to an existing account. I only see "New account" or the import button which leads to

"Import a file with exported accounts here to re-create accounts exported on a different device or browser. Please make sure to set the correct sync folders again after importing."

Yeah, I haven't read to much into the history of the developers, other than a lengthy summary of posts that someone posted a few days ago. But he seems to be strongly anti-censorship, which would have to be a modified form of fascism.

Do the big instances need to give permission, to your self-hosted instance, to read and post on their communities?

Do those instance owners need to manually approve access from some unknown small instance?

I use this app on Android to view my feeds that are on that site:

https://noinnion.com/greader/

They can't afford more decimal digits; it's a free report.

I found that the app Connect for Lemmy has the best implementation so far to deal with this. The common community names aren't aggregated into single feed, but when you look at your subscriptions, they are listed and grouped by the community name, rather than the instance. So, for example, I see all the "technology" communities next to each other in the list.

I'm not sure if that link is supposed to take a user somewhere, but clicking the bot's link from within Connect doesn't work. The leading "!" Is not highlighted in blue, so that's probably why it doesn't work.

The link in the parent comment does work within Connect and takes me to that community.

Does my browser supply details about my hardware? Is there anything on Android that can prevent sending hardware information?

Where did you find instructions for requesting all your data?
