Hello, my name is Cris. :)
- Comment on "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint 39 minutes ago:
How the world “should” respond to the thing we care about is an actively counter-productive thing to get hung up on.
Its much important how they do respond to it, and how we can reach those who don’t connect with it
(And that doesn’t just lecturing people and trying to brow beat them into caring about it, which seems like the default approach for a lot of foss folks 🥲 thats the opposite or reaching people, that’s alienating them)
- Comment on EnteAuth (and a bunch of other FOSS) take Microsoft's "free" money 44 minutes ago:
Whether it’s good or bad is not determined by the fact that it’s corporate money, but how that money impacts development, the devil’s in the details, not just in a company donating lots of money.
Open source in general is very dependent on corporate sponsors. The linux kernel wouldn’t exist had companies not invested in it.
I’m not knowledgeable enough to access the potential pitfalls here, so I will be cautious but not paranoid, and continue to pay attention to discussions on how FOSS projects are run 🤷♂️
- Comment on What do y'all think of the live streaming platform, Owncast? 14 hours ago:
I’m just learning about owncast, is there any way to login or subscribe to people so I can come back to their streams at a later time?
- Comment on Should large Fediverse instances and Bluesky encourage, not require, users to opt-in to bridges that connect to Bluesky and other non-fedi social web platforms? 2 days ago:
Thats a really interesting and novel idea! You could also give granularity based off of that, so people still have ultimate control, but then it’s only one setting you have to learn about and it’s not following an account, which feels like a hacky UX
- Comment on Should large Fediverse instances and Bluesky encourage, not require, users to opt-in to bridges that connect to Bluesky and other non-fedi social web platforms? 2 days ago:
I agree with your perspective that the people who might most be interested in bridges are also the least likely to be aware it’s something they can opt into
- Comment on an incomplete list of fediverse instances scraped by meta to train AI 3 days ago:
This is only a loosely related thought, but are there any new foss licenses or anything that prohibit ai usage? I know it’ll be ignored but it feels like explicitly disallowing things could be important in opening the door to successful legal challenges to ai scraping and theft…
- Comment on Wakey Wakey 4 days ago:
The person I was replying to (to my understanding) was talking about connecting it across a two nipple pericings, one on each side
I would be flabbergasted if 9v were even remotely capable of overcoming that kind of resistance
- Comment on Wakey Wakey 4 days ago:
If you touch the contacts of a nine volt battery to your bare skin you generally don’t feel anything m you might if there’s sweat, you’ll feel it on your skin, but across two breasts worth of chest like I understood them to mean in the comment I was replying to?
Thats a fuckton of resistance compared to 9v of electrical pressure
- Comment on Wakey Wakey 4 days ago:
There’s not enough voltage to drive current through that big of a resistance

Thanks :)

Those rental businesses went out of business well before libraries were generally offering non-book media rentals…

You can rent a kill-a-watt??? Thats dope as shit
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 1 week ago:
I think you might benefit from trying the “local” feed, which is just your home instance :)
It could perhaps be better communicated though, but I’m not sure what framing or label might make it more clear what local means for less technical folks
It might just be something people need to learn because the fediverse is a different thing than traditional social platforms. But I don’t think that possibility should stop us from improving clarity if we can think of a good way to do so :)

Nice!

Hell yeah, I hope you have a nice day too! 😊
- Comment on Fediverse Report – #126 - selling music albums on Bandwagon and more 3 weeks ago:
Yeah… I’m not sure that’s a good monetization model… I feel like even the standard taking a small cut of every transaction is a better idea than that :/
It feels really overly punishing for small artists while being very reasonable for established larger artists, which sucks

I love this!
While lemmy is so small would it maybe make sense to post this content to the aquarium comm, or cross-post things there?
Subbed ☺️

Thank you for that additional information!
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 4 weeks ago:
That’s incredibly important to! I think people would be hesitant to work for even decent donations if people are assholes, but you’re 100% right. I guess it really comes down to appreciating the people around you
You should appreciate the humans that create this social space by being here and being social, and appreciate the people who create this social space by building the space itself
Thank you for making that point, people being paid makes a huge difference.

And yet, it was created by communists, and populated with all sorts of people, socialists, anarchists, liberals, communists, libertarians, punks (particularly of the solar variety), ai/crypto bros and more
There are very clearly lots of people here who don’t already share your views, and who are here for different reasons, and the antagonistic, wildly presumptive way you’re voicing your perspective just guarantees that exactly zero people come to see your perspective better.
As someone who at least largely identifies with anarchism, please stop being a dick, you’re doing a disservice to the humans you share this space with and the causes you care about simultaneously. This platform is not exclusively yours just because you identify with its structure for political reasons.

That’s a real shame, and a huge loss.
Friendly reminder that the only way lemmy can be successful is if we create a culture that is enjoyable to be a part of. It sounds like his time here was not so positive, and that’s deeply saddening.
I wish him the best with his future endeavors

I think their point was that the hole has to go all the way though for it to count topologically
