- Comment on WordPress maker Automattic lays off 16% of staff 15 hours ago:
Yeah. I run Wordpress on my personal blog, but after this I won’t use it for future projects. A community fork without all that stupid Jetpack shit would be great
- Comment on Massive X data leak affects over 200 million users. 2 days ago:
Exactly this. We knew that everything would get shaky after he fired all those people and a data leak is the consequence
- Comment on Split Keyboards Are Superior And The Reason I’m The Writer I Am Today. 6 days ago:

- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 1 week ago:
Word and Powerpoint are not the worst - just think about all the time lost due to whatever Microsoft is doing in Teams or by random decisions like moving the start button to the middle instead of leaving it where it was since 1995, which automatically renders every corporate training video obsolete.
- Comment on I reckon this is the usage distribution of Lemmy servers that we'll end up with. 1 week ago:
email is a standard protocol. You can run your own server using FOSS software in 5 minutes if you start now. One of the biggest problems is that you will have a hard time “federating” to gmail and others due to the spam problematic, but that is something that we will see with Lemmy, too. Currently I can spin up my own server and start pushing shit to lemmy.world and other bigger instances, but I feel that this will change with the coming spam waves
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 week ago:
Yeah, those old forum threads really were great. Many forums had threads that were discussing topics for years, all in one place. There were people posting how they were building something and they would just reply to their thread with an update. It’s a great way to collect information and better than we are doing it here
- Comment on U.S. Government Removes Tornado Cash Sanctions 1 week ago:
I’m really curious here: What are you buying and dealing with crypto? I am old and I remember the first discussions about Bitcoin and other cryptos and the privacy topic was discussed back then. People were skeptical of the technology, exactly because every transaction was public and people were even more skeptical after others started to use bitcoin to buy drugs with it online. So why are you using technology that is not really suited for privacy by design and expect privacy?
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 week ago:
Ok, that is a totally different use case than mine. I’m one of those guys browsing a selfhosting community on the fediverse and I only want to stream my own stuff to my mobile and provide my wife with audiobooks. If you’re providing a bigger group of people with streaming services, who are not tech savvy, another software might be the better solution. But that doesn’t mean that Jellyfin is bad - it’s just another use case with different requirements
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 week ago:
But let’s be honest - it really is not complicated. That was a one minute configuration in my router.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 week ago:
I just setup jellyfin and it totally is the same. Install. Point it to a media folder. Setup port forwarding.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Research what you are allowed to do with that land. In my country you are not allowed to simply buy agricultural land and start building stuff on it and that is the case in most civilized countries.
- Comment on Tools to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin? 1 week ago:
And those lifetime subscriptions are also a trap. They know that you have the money and are willing to pay and that you’re using their service. Do you really think that some business suit will be satisfied by your onetime payment back in 2022?
- Comment on “They curdle like milk”: WB DVDs from 2006–2008 are rotting away in their cases - Ars Technica 3 weeks ago:
I have Audio-CDs from the 80s that are still playing 40 years later. And I have CDs with deep scratches that also play without problems.
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 3 weeks ago:
I run a small thinclient (HP Mini G400, but those small Lenovos thinkcentres and others also work) in my home. Cost me ~100€ plus a few Euro for a RAM update and a bigger hard drive and now I’m running Proxmox with the help of the Community Scripts:
community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/
It’s quite awesome, to be honest.

- Comment on Tesla sales crash continues in Europe, with Germany down 70% 4 weeks ago:
I mean… why wouldn’t all that is happening not have a effect on sales? Musk is the face of Tesla and Musks image has totally gone downhill for lots of people. He’s gone from “techbro genius” to “fascist” in a few months (!) in the public image and there is really not reason to doubt, that this won’t have an effect on sales.
- Comment on 🐸 time 4 weeks ago:
I mean, evolution kind of might work around the ozone layer being gone. People just need to have children before the skin cancer kills them and that’s totally possible. Might be good if the parents don’t die when the kids are too little.
Evolution really doesn’t care about your personal well-being and won’t help you. It might “evolve” the human race to get children earlier in their teens, because everybody over 30 is dead from skin cancer and microplastics, but maybe the better solution is to use something different in hair spray and fridges.
- Comment on Is there an independent model database? 4 weeks ago:
Many models on Thingiverse and Printables are released under a CC-licence, so it would be possible to use that as a basis for an independent model database or some kind of decentralized fediverse STL databank, however that would work
- Comment on Downtown Doug Brown » The gooey rubber that’s slowly ruining old hard drives 4 weeks ago:
Be the chance you want to see in the world and email him?
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think phone makers are that close to ad companies
Google?
- Comment on Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian says AI should moderate social media 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, LLMs could really help. Other tools without AI are also helpful. The problem with all those companies is that they don’t want to do moderating for the public good at all. Reddit could kill a lot of Fake News on it’s platform, prevent reposts of revenge porn or kick idiots just by implementing a few rules. They don’t want to
- Comment on The Digital Packrat Manifesto | DRM and big tech's war on ownership has led me to make my own media libraries, and you should too 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, high-res video will eat those TB quick. I started to clean up my collection - if something really was not good, I stopped watching or lost interest, it goes into the bin. Collecting is great, but there is no reason to keep some mediocre Netflix shovelware around that was canceled after one season.
- Comment on nets 4 weeks ago:
Why shouldn’t it be relevant? The waste is out there, is being found on our beaches and the industrial plastic waste is not swept up as often? So why would a regulation to prevent the most common plastic-items on our beaches from being there be bad?
- Comment on nets 4 weeks ago:
It’s kind of crazy - those plastic Q-tips are only better if you want to totally wreck your ears and every doctor is warning against that. For every legitimate use, those paper variants work perfectly well
- Comment on nets 4 weeks ago:
If it gets swept up on the shore, it’s in the ocean. So it totally makes sense to prevent it from being there.
- Comment on nets 4 weeks ago:
Just FYI:
Single-use plastic products are used once, or for a short period of time, before being thrown away. Under the EU’s rules on single-use plastics, the EU is tackling the 10 single-use plastic items most commonly found on Europe’s beaches and is promoting sustainable alternatives. The 10 items are
Cotton bud sticks Cutlery, plates, straws and stirrers Balloons and sticks for balloons Food containers Cups for beverages Beverage containers Cigarette butts Plastic bags Packets and wrappers Wet wipes and sanitary items
…europa.eu/…/less-plastic-waste-means-cleaner-bea…
So yeah, nets are bad, but straws, plastic bags, cigarettes and packages are also a problem.
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, that is also a factor. You can’t expect good work from somebody who has been working for 60 hours for years without having a vacation.
- Comment on No one knows what this ancient script says. Now there’s a $1 million prize to crack the code 4 weeks ago:
It doesn’t have a paywall for me. Paywalls are a plague, but are impossible to control if you’re submitting posts here. Some pages are putting them in after a while, others after a certain amount of views or social shares, others have soft paywalls that come up after a user has read a certain amount of articles, some are based on the location of the user and others are there on mobile, but not on desktop. Use the usual paywall killers like archive.ph or ByPassPaywalls Clean if you’re having problems
