I think it’s worth considering a model where one might be expected to provide hosting for their own video. Certainly not necessary now but probably will be if/when video on fedi takes off

It’s normal that there will be forks and alternatives
This is not the sentiment you tend to express in direct response to these forks and alternatives. Thinking specifically about your activity in the sublinks announcement posts.

Biden is the fascist from the other party.
Biden is in no way, shape, or form a fascist. Particularly in the context of a Trump ascendancy.

There’s an interesting aspect of this that I have not seen mentioned yet. While this is true you are usually better off using your residential heater rather than an electric space heater because residential heaters are frequently over 100% efficient. That is, they deliver more heat for the energy expenditure than if you had converted the energy directly by redirecting ambient heat. Heat pumps are this same principle taken to the extreme.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 2 months ago:
Yes but if you want to do just want anything more advanced than putting users in a list you’re out of luck.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 2 months ago:
You’re absolutely right and I definitely shouldn’t be making broad statements like that. Another thing I’ve found is that if you can stomach the effort (or do this from the get go), it’s a good idea to put all your academic or professional accounts into a single list. It’s nice to check into a slightly smarter feed from time to time.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
In this context or generally?
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
I don’t think this is a money making move. The previous CEO was absolutely overly focused on monetization and this move is a step away from that.
- Comment on Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges 2 months ago:
Mastodon really does seem to rally around braindead takes and misinformation. The culture over there can be hard to stomach sometimes.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
Tell me this is a good thing.
Mozilla has long been the most ethical player in this space (while still producing SOTA ML). All of their datasets/models are open source and usually crowdsourced. Not to mention, their existing work is primarily in improving accessibility.
ALSO, the other half of this story is that Firefox is becoming the primary focus again. Everybody’s freaking out about the AI stuff but that’s because they’re only reading the headlines. The programs they’ve shut down are things like Hubs (Mozilla’s metaverse platform), the VPN, and the sensitive data scrubber (which was using a third party service anyway).
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
Though, it’s tough to pull from the headline/discussion this pivot is explicitly meant to refocus on the browser.
As far as the AI stuff goes, Mozilla has long been the most ethical player in this space. All of their datasets/models are open source and usually crowdsourced. Not to mention, their existing work is primarily in improving accessibility. It’s really hard to see how this is a bad thing.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
So frustrated to see how this conversation is playing out.
This pivot is about refocusing on: The Browser Privacy Ethical AI
This seems like a much better position for Mozilla to operate from, particularly because they’ve excelled at producing ethical SOTA ML for YEARS before ChatGPT. In all, this seems far more forward looking than the previous strategy of “make weird little web tools to make money maybe” and it’s an absolutely massive untapped niche, that they already have the talent to tap into.
- Comment on The Verge - The fediverse, explained 2 months ago:
So, you won’t see Mastodon content on Lemmy unless a Mastodon user has posted in a group (the generic term for community, subreddits, etc). For example, here’s an exchange I had with some Mastodon users. Groups don’t always come from Lemmy and as a Lemmy user you can subscribe to more Mastodon centric groups like !histodons@a.gup.pe or even PeerTube channels like !veronicaexplains_channel@tilvids.com. Direct user-to-user microblog style interaction with Mastodon users is not supported, and that’s mostly a design choice of the devs. Projects like kbin/mbin seek to bridge the gap and directly support both experiences.
- Comment on The Verge - The fediverse, explained 2 months ago:
The Verge has been all in on the Fediverse, and they’re probably the biggest advocate in the media. They’re also going through the process of switching their entire backend for direct fediverse support. If you have a mastodon or kbin consider boosting this at their official account (@verge@mastodon.social) here: mastodon.social/@verge/111891107107406018
- Comment on Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024 2 months ago:
Does anybody have any recommendations for FOSS RSS readers with actual content surfacing features? So many RSS feeds are full of junk (this is particularly a problem with feeds with wildly disparate posting frequencies) and I’ve always felt they’d be a lot more useful if people were putting more effort into a modern way to sort through extremely dense feeds.
- Comment on Introducing Pkl, a programming language for configuration 2 months ago:
This is a great project and I’m surprised by the tone of the response here. I think most folks are forgetting that a lot of the folks dealing with configuration are not programmers by trade. They just need to setup a tool for their use case. To that end, the gap between the existing configuration paradigm and extending their software is insurmountable. This bridges that gap in a robust and purpose built way and that simply will improve a lot of people’s lives.
Think about homeassistant and how much less fidly it’d be to get advanced functionality or interfaces if the gap between programming and configuration were closed? There is an absolute fuckton of enterprise and scientific software that will improve in the same way.

Pretty sure it’s not. Wired is just talking about the wrong thing. Currently threads voice posts federate fine.

- Comment on Discussing a more structured movies and tv community on !movies@lemm.ee 2 months ago:
Yeah, doesn’t seem like a ban was at all justified. This part stuck out to me:
I believe the best way to moderate a small community such as this in order to facilitate it’s growth is to be as hands-off as possible.
Except as it relates to moderation of the community, huh?
All that said, I am very much in favor of some of the things you suggest (particularly dedicated threads for discussion on each new movie) and I think it would probably go a long way towards improving the real-world value of the community. I think this is particularly true as it seems unlikely that with 1.1k subscribers the community has properly filled their niche.
Do you think there is any way the mod of !moviesandtv@lemm.ee would consider some sort of deal wherein you moderate and run this spinoff community with more structured discussion, while they link to and officially endorse the community (of course contingent on ongoing good relations)? Mentioning @Djinn@lemm.ee

This is not an appropriate community to post this.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
A groups rework is currently on mastodon’s roadmap as inprogress. We’ve not heard a lot of what this will look like but it’s very likely it will solve issue 1.
2 is related to how Mastodon handles the post object in the activitypub spec. I believe Mastodon prefers notes.
3 is actually just incorrect. All you need to do is mention the community and it will post.

It’s been getting some traction over on Mastodon too. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’ve restricted signups.
