  I don’t know whether you were satiric or not, but it feels like it, hard to tell on a text medium. No hard feelings either way 😄

  If you were “mocking my post in a satiric way”: I didn’t mean to say that nothing should be done or that it was not a reason to worry. I actually believe we should protect our ecosystems, but I think we need accurate data and this kind of posts, even if they convey the “right” message according to me, are misleading and create false information about what is going on. I truly believe we should try to avoid doing this.

  I was worried so I looked for the source of the information, it seems to be from 'Washington State University" from their website they say it concerns “Commercial honey bee colony”, so it might not be all bees (I don’t know enough to say what the difference is exactly), they say “60 to 70% losses” (not 80), and they also say “Over the past decade, annual losses have typically ranged between 40 and 50%.”, so it is probably worrying but not as much as the CBS article was making it seem.

  Recently bought a CharaChorder, haven’t mastered it yet but it is promising.

  I bought a Charachorder recently, haven’t had enough practice to master it yet, but it looks very promising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used Plex before I got tired of it requiring a remote network connection to work in my home network (no remote). I switched to emby a few years ago, and I’m tired of it too: Subtitle is a pain, filtering is a nightmare, integration with sonarr/radarr and configuration is annoying…

  I’ve started developing my own streaming server, playback is working nice through the browser from server to tvlaptop. I’m going to integrate Transmission UI into it, and show/movie management, to get rid of sonnarr/radarr and maybe I’ll manage to get rid of jackett too, so tired of this cumbersome stack. I want it all integrated into a single server with a single interface.

  Most people are not us-citizens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that no amount of anecdotal evidence would be enough. For a very long times doctors had anecdotal evidence that bloodletting saved patient, yet they were fooled by their bias. I’m not saying advertising isn’t spying on our microphones, I don’t know, it might be. But it doesn’t seem very plausible to me: the amount of processing necessary, and the amount of network seems way too high. Also, voice recognition is still not great currently, it was even worse years ago.

  You already can, the shape of the Lego brick fell into public domain, you can find legal knock off of their design (on AliExpress for example). The problem is that plastic and electricity cost so much you don’t save a lot compared to an industrialised environment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Death of the Junior Developer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I might be wrong, but to me junior dev are just senior dev in the making, employers know that. The junior dev will continue to exist as long as employers need senior devs.

  Now maybe Devs will completely disappear in the near (or far) future, but I don’t think you can remove one if you still need the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proud globohomo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I might be wrong but I think this is satire.

  “Flux” is the name of an open source image generating AI model. You can run it on your own hardware.
