- Comment on Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket 1 week ago:
There’s a YouTube channel called BPS Space where this guy spent 7 years learning how to land a model rocket space x style. He talked about how much you can learn about real rocket science even from a small model.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 2 weeks ago:
Also just checked and every open ai model bigger than 4.1-mini can answer this. I think the joke should emphasize how we developed a super power inefficient way to solve some problems that can be accurately and efficiently answered with a single algorithm. Another example is using ChatGPT to do simple calculator math. LLMs are good at specific tasks and really bad at others, but people kinda throw everything at them.

- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 weeks ago:
I guess my point is that historic data won’t cease to exist unless all the federated instances deleted the data or also shut down. And links would only be broken if you are access the data via lemm.ee. But if you’re accessing data via one of the federated instance’s APIs, I think you should be good? But I’m still relatively new to all this federation so I would appreciate if someone smarter than me chimed in.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 weeks ago:
Sorry this might be obvious, but even if an instance disappeared with all its communities, wouldn’t those communities and their content still exist as copies to other federated instances? My understanding is federation means I’m going to copy all of your content to my instance. So I’m assuming that means even if your instance stops existing, all those copies on my instance still exist. Or am I missing something?
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 weeks ago:
I’ve only been on Lemmy for a year, but this feels pretty significant. How do we prevent this from happening to other instances? Or do we not see it as a huge problem if we assume most active users will migrate to other Lemmy instances?
Also side note, I think Voyager defaults to lemm.ee.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure it’s not to the same extent, but I feel like America does the same thing just not as directly. Like the fact that they can triangulate my position at any moment in time with cell tower data.

Is that a positive or native opinion of PieFed? I’m genuinely curious since I’ve never really scrolled through PieFed

It has taken off exponentially. It’s exponentially annoying that’s it’s being added to literally everything

Wow wow. The saying is “you won’t work a day in your life,” not that you will be financially stable.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 weeks ago:
Ohhh I did see that but the name threw me. Didn’t realize that’s the official app
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 weeks ago:
Oops I must have misread the price. Tbh it’s the subscription fatigue, but in a developer myself $12.99/year is very reasonable.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
I looked at Infuse, but as soon as I saw it was a subscription I decided no. They have a lifetime option but I don’t trust those anymore. If it’s good software with a one time fee of $40 or less, I’m there, but anything $10/month or $100 lifetime is a dealbreaker for me.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. I love open source, but people kinda assume you have unlimited time to sink until this stuff. Apple has done a great job selling an intuitive experience that I need for the non technical people in my household. That being said, I don’t understand why AirPlay doesn’t just fucking work. Siri is also garbage.
And if I have to listen to one more person try and explain to me why I have the wrong router, mdns, multicast, IPv6 settings, etc, I’m gonna lose it. One person is like, “buy Uniquiti, that plays nice with Apple Home and never use your ISP router”. The next person is like “you idiot, why would you think Ubiquiti + Apple would ever work stick with your IPS router”. Even if they’re right, it’s a failure of Apple to design a system that requires an IT person to setup.
Thank you for listening to my rant.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
Really it comes down to I distrust Google more than Apple. But I recognize there are a lot of issues with Apple, and I get the cognitive dissonance on my part combining open source with Apple. But I’m happy Apple has Android as competition.
…I also may have purchased HomePods and I do use the Apple TV + HomePod audio setup. Not messily the best value but it’s decent audio with minimal clutter/wires. I’m pretty happy with the Apple TV experience so far, but if Apple starts enshitifying (especially if they ever plaster their devices with ads the way Roku has) I’m gone immediately.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been a Plex user. Honestly it was mostly because I chose Plex years ago before a lot of the recent controversy. Plex always seemed like it had a nicer interface, though I never really gave Jellyfin a try. As of late, Plex has started to add a lot of bloat to their interface, so at this point Jellyfin’s UI might actually be a pro.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
Just downloaded Jellyfin! Been a Plex user for years. Noticed they’ve stated to add a lot of crap to the Plex interface. I just want to stream my media library. I’m a little disappointed that Jellyfin doesn’t have a native Apple TV app, but SenPlayer looks really nice and their price model is a one time fee. So no subscriptions!

- Comment on In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app 4 weeks ago:
Maybe nobody at Apple actually does quality assurance on that feature anymore because they think nobody still uses it.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 4 weeks ago:
It’s kinda funny cause usually isn’t it the AI agent that has a misaligned goal? Like when I say don’t die, and it discovers that pausing Tetris technical means you never die. Now it’s students that have been given the wrong goal: pass the test by whatever means (e.g. use AI).

- Comment on Anyone else get the thing where images and post titles become confused? It can often be humourous. 2 months ago:
I’m not a recycling list expert, but I think the more keys you use the less react is able to reuse components in the list. So this is one area where keys are actually worse. You may be able to use them only on the image part of the post, but packages like expo-image have a recyclingKey prop you are supposed to use instead. But I found expo image to not work very well so 🤷
But I think think the app we were referring to isn’t react native? Idk how native recycling lists work tbh so maybe you’re right about the key thing.
- Comment on Anyone else get the thing where images and post titles become confused? It can often be humourous. 2 months ago:
100% guessing here, but native apps sometimes use recycling virtualized lists. That means as you scroll the list will reuse the container that renders the post title and image. Often the image is still being fetched but you already know the title. So as you scroll, it reuses a post you previously saw, instantly swaps in the new title, but the new image is still landing so an image from a previously post in the list is displayed.
Idk if that made any sense at all, but keep an eye out if the title is new but the image was previously seen.
