I’m a big stupid and can come one smart explain why this doesn’t work in reality?

Preemptive defeding I think is bad. You can’t convince people to move to better options if you never have a chance to interact with them in the first place. Obviously there may be reason to defed in the future but to do it prematurely is a mistake that will isolate the fediverse in a way that is uninviting to new people unfamiliar with the space.
- Comment on What's the point on hosting RSS reader's? 11 months ago:
After years of using Feeder on my phone and some other random stuff on my laptop, I switched to FreshRSS on my server and the big thing is everything stays synced. My read and stared articles are all where they should be. I run fluent reader on all my devices and tailscale keeps me always connected to my reader so I can save articles on my phone when I don’t have time to read them then read them when I get home on my laptop or tablet.

Slowly? It’s been in hell since I was a child.
- Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever 11 months ago:
I think what Apple has done with their M series of chips is actually incredible and very interesting. However actually purchasing their hardware is just out of the question when I’m just going to run a Linux distro on whatever I purchase.

I remember at a point limewire or frostwire had movies you could download. Young me downloaded the little mermaid but it was a porn parody and I scared myself for life.
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 11 months ago:
A few years ago I would have said every day, but I got a really good pair of Bluetooth Bose headphones that have wireless charging so I don’t have to worry about anything anymore. After work they get put on a charging pad then in the morning I grab them and they’re ready to go.

Maybe it’s about Elon’s “ai.”
- Comment on Amazon is now automatically playing fullscreen video ads on Fire TV 11 months ago:
It’s in settings > accounts and sign in > your Gmail account > apps only mode . I have to scroll down for it on my Chromecast but if you have it on your Sony it should be in there.

My Chromecast is doing it’s job fine with app only mode but the day they change it or take away that mode I’ve got some mini PCs ready to have libreelec thrown up on them.

If you go the android route turn on Apps Only Mode in the settings. It gets rid of the home screen ads for the most part and disabled a lot of the “features” that Google tries to push.
- Comment on Chromecast over Tailscale? 11 months ago:
Casting is always weird with networking like that. I’d highly recommend trying to find a way to run jellyfin locally cause nothing will really make Tailscale play nice with casting in my experience.
- Comment on Is anyone selfhosting kavita? 11 months ago:
I’ll say that I’ve run both Kavita and Calibre+Calibre-Web. I’ve stuck with running Calibreand Calibre Web together. Kavita was great but since I read on kindle and Kavita-email never worked for me I went back to Calibre. I also prefer calibre since it lets me convert files and change the cover images.
Personally I had more issues getting kavita to work the way I wanted than I did with calibre.
- Comment on They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust. 1 year ago:
All of those are funny and obviously untrue. Using Wikipedia isn’t a one stop perfect information system. Knowing how to use it comes with knowing how to use the sources.
