- Comment on YSK: about SomaFM, a listener supported, ad free, internet radio thats been going for 26 years 1 week ago:
Love me some SomaFM, for more variety I also like to listen in ByteFM (also ad-free since 2008). DJs are talking german, but their mixes are unmatched.

Coworker of mine told me about "The Invariant Right" –the concept of shoppers going always right, so you might be onto something. It could however all be made up as well.

Im not sure if you are aware but you do not have to create a new Account on there. Photon is another client just like Summit is, so you can login using your piefed.social account. Sadly im not on android anymore but will be coming back soon! There are couple to choose from, just from the looks i like sync and interstellar but im not sure how well they support piefed. Lemmy was first so it was first supported.

That is odd, normally you are only asked for a reason when you sign up for a new account and not when you just subscribe to a community. Can you share the community you were trying to subscribe?
I have to wait to be subscribed to the different communities
That is unfortunately in the nature of the decentralization. Your instance cannot be sure that that the instance the community is on will respond in a timely fashion so it shows it as “pending”. The only thing we could maybe do about this is to be overly optimistic. Most requests to subscribe a community go though without a problem so we could just show it being subscribed even though are are not, but that would introduce other problems.

What do you think about https://phtn.app/ ? Sadly the PieFed support is in Beta for quite a while now, but I do like how clean everything looks. You can also hide away a lot of the complexity but I am not sure if that is the default.

- Comment on What's the deal with people liking old devices? 1 week ago:
For me at least it’s the simplicity. Not that I understand everything going on inside of it, but I could and knowledge is often times readily available.
Another point i could think of is that the feature set is often times more manageable, you are more in control of what it does or does not.

I actually do not think it has much to do with that. I would guess it just did not make any money or the ongoing costs were too much.
- Comment on What to self host with a GTX 1060? 2 weeks ago:
Yea, you are probably right. Just wanted to ask before I hand it down myself, in case I missed some really cool use case for it.
My Jellyfin is also very basic with everything pre transcoded as I don’t even have/need >1080p.
So it just looks like a window on my main PC and this way I have ram on my new PC
This sounds really cool. Does that actually work, did you do a comparison? I would have expected that most RAM usage comes from rendering the frame and not sending it, or does
waypipesomehow outsource that as well? - Submitted 2 weeks ago to selfhosted@lemmy.world | 13 comments
- Comment on Mastodon.social is not a good way to join Mastodon. If you’re already on it, you might want to move your account to a different Mastodon server. | Fedi.Tips – An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the F 3 weeks ago:
I also do not like this kind of sentiment. Sure in a perfect world it would be slightly better if we all are distributed equally on different servers. But the biggest advantage of the Fediverse still stands, even if we all are on a central instance. If mastodon.social ever looses its shit for whatever reason, its still possible to move without loosing connections.
I think ridiculing new folks about “rules” like this make the Fediverse less inviting and counter productive. And to be honest the experience on .social is far better than on smaller instances IF you are coming from twitter and are looking for something similar. When I see new people on .social im happy that they even joined Fedi.

- Comment on UK fines Reddit $19 million for using children’s data unlawfully 5 weeks ago:
The headline is a bit misleading is not? There is no evidence of children’s data being used unlawfully. (I mean there might I don’t know what counts as “unlawful") This is just a fine for Reddit not to follow UKs dystopian ideas in time.
- Comment on LibreOffice Online, a self-hostable libre office environment, is coming back! 5 weeks ago:
Love Cryptpad, but am I the only one for whom the loading indicator gives a bad flashback to early js framework web development where every website was 16 times the initial load time, 4 times the overall size and just more buggy. Website SPA or not have rarely a good reason to have a loading indicator for the initial load the browser already does that.

- Comment on "Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade 5 weeks ago:
oof, found it. It is so weird seemingly every job listing for a software developer has the requirement of using AI nowadays. ITS NOT A SKILL, ITS MANDATORY TRAINING WHEELS. They will find worse programmers doing so, good ones can use AI if it makes sense you don’t have to force it.

Was there another incident besides the 2026 sales promo image? I was a bit disappointing of their “response” if you can could call it that. But I don’t really see this as “pushing AI”, as far as I can tell this might just be an intern who was given the task to make a promo image and did not care at all.
- Comment on Newish to Fediverse - do I use one account across all services? 5 weeks ago:
I have an account in the threadiverse (lemmy, piefed…) and one in microblogverse (mastodon, gotosocial…). just because they behave so differently it is not a great ux to be using only one.
in some instances it does make sense though. if your are not a heavy lemmy user and primarily use mastodon you could just @ the corresponding community in your posts. they will then show up normally here and you can still interact with it. (following communities on mastodon looks bad on mastodons end though)
or if you just want to comment or like a video on peertube you could just do that from any instance. peertube accounts also show up on lemmy like normal communities which is neat.
so in short if your are not planning on using something heavily it is probably enough to just use an account you already have. but like with everything you should just try things out and see what works best for you. :)
- Comment on Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial 1 month ago:
Oh yea you are right. XP was a joy to use. They have been slacking since they got that monopoly though. I am forced to use Outlook because of the company. And am always amazed how many redirects you can do for a simple authentication. Every service looks completely different and the audio in teams is so broken it cuts off for a couple of seconds and switches from mono to stereo for no apparent reason. Everything just feels like its extra work.
Switching to Linux on my private devices actually reminded me of the old windows. I just wish the UI UX of some software would be on par as well. LibreOffice and GIMP is just not fun to use.
- Comment on Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial 1 month ago:
It always amazes me how Microsoft is though. Stuff like Threads, Instagram, Facebook is incredibly evil but they still work?! I can at least understand why the majority of people who don’t care are there. Microsofts products don’t even work to begin with though. Everything they touch be it Xbox, Teams or Windows is just so bad i wonder how we even ended up here.
- Comment on We made a Fediverse community on Fluxer 1 month ago:
We really do be needing a fancy xmpp client with voip with mumble or something else. Especially if https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0503.html gets stable and implemented. I do not use xmpp, but I dont understand why it does not get the same love matrix or even irc gets. (in terms of being an alternative)
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 1 month ago:
Gonna use this thread to shout out https://github.com/YTLitePlus/YTLitePlus There more than enough options for android users out there, this one is for iOS though. Tried it out this weekend on my jailbroken iPhone 6. If i read it correctly it should also be installable without a jailbreak but not that easily. Its super cool and sadly feels so weird that you got the option to do such shocking things like disabling shorts or hide certain buttons, its really fun.

ye, worst outcome would be that you compliment a little baby whos to stupid to have their own thoughts on their “work”. but who really cares about them, it is still better to falsely accusing an actual artist of using ai.
