I actually ended up on a dumb watch after a swimming pool toasted my smart watch.

I'm glad we got some heavy rains up north, those wildfires were really something. I know people who lost everything. :(

I don't know, I think it's a two-way street. Writers can write whatever they want however they want, but once they achieve an audience and that audience is supporting them, of course there is some reasonable expectation that you would continue with the thing. It isn't even about the money -- I was never paid a penny for developing fbxl magazine, but I had a few very vocal fans who were excited to read it when I did put it out, and their desire isn't commodification, it's the desire to have more of something that they have decided that they enjoy.

Especially when we are talking about an unfinished story, it isn't commodification in the fact that our minds are literally wired to want to see the ending of a story. Therefore, it's human nature.

Me irl

That's just reality.

I've got an Amazfit Bip S, it's my third Amazfit Bip. I mostly use it as just a watch, and for the money it's one of the better smart watches I've owned. Charging my watch every night isn't in the cards for me, but once a month is fine. I've got it connected via gadgetbridge instead of the chinesium app. Have the faceplate displaying all the time.

The simple watch isn't that much of a stretch, to be honest. I usually have most of the smart watch features disabled, because getting notifications is actually sometimes a pain.

One thing I miss from pebble that I've never seen again is the really top tier response stuff. On pebble I had 5 answers I could do and it was perfect for responding to people simply.

I feel like after 60 seconds it'd be like "Hey just letting you know, I'm still working at this, but it's kinda taking a long time. Something might be wonky."

In these moments I know I could never be a schlocky journalist, because there's a solid gold headline in there about shoes, running shoes, running fast, I don't know -- just that it happened quick...

Respect to the families of the victims. Hopefully among those who lived there weren't too many bad injuries.

It's my fork of rebased and soapbox. It's focused on stability and compatibility, expanding on a lot of work I did on lotide to improve compatibility there. I've also been focusing a lot on making sure all the pleroma upstream work makes it back, as well as great ideas from other platforms like misskey or mastodon proper.

One of the new features I added was groups support, with a focus on lotide, lemmy, mbin, and piefed, but we've done some friendly testing on many groups platforms including things like peertube. The messages you saw were me finally doing testing across the Internet between different platforms -- lotide, lemmy at hilariouschaos, and here.

I've followed and unfollowed different communities on a lot of group or feed platforms without issues, sent likes or removed likes, and posted comments, but this is the first time I've had those different platforms follow a group hosted on fbxl social, and so there was a lot of noise because lemmy and lotide expect much different things than pleroma/rebased initially provided. It's all activitypub, but the ways it's used are very different between the different platforms, so you have to watch your logs and figure out why something didn't federate.

That's exactly what I'd expect to hear from you, since you're a lemmy user! But you hardly ever even log into your account, so who cares what you have to say?

ok, I was able to post to this group from lotide, now I'm replying to your post. I wonder what it'll look like?

"No longer work" is an odd thing.

When you're talking about open source, something is "supported" as long as someone wants to work on it. I'm pretty sure to an extent there's still "support" for the original wrt54g.

I hope that daughter grows up knowing she's that loved.

Unfathomably federation compatibility smoke test. This reply should be deleted automatically.

Honestly, as a teenager who doesn't own the building and doesn't pay the electric bill, don't worry about building infrastructure for yourself and the people around you. Taking on that kind of responsibility is actually going to be kind of annoying because once people rely on it, you can't play anymore -- so just use it yourself, and enjoy it, and maybe you get a chance to show it off, but maybe not. Infrastructure you own but don't have to answer to anyone for is important for that purpose. After all, maybe you don't want jellyfin in the end, and you can just kill it.

My family uses our jellyfin all the time, because it's set up exactly how we want. It has all my wife's favorite DVDs ripped and on it, it has my son's favorite movies, it even has strange stuff like the video of me driving in a demolition derby or baby photos or comic books -- it's my thing, I can put whatever I want on there and that's what makes it great. We have a great workflow -- we have android TV, and the jellyfin for android TV app, so we just open it up and everything is right there. It's well-done enough that if you didn't know it's something I host in my basement in the rafters right above the washer and dryer you'd never know it isn't just a normal streaming service.

Some people won't see the benefit of having this thing you control and own and are responsible for. But did you know that you can't buy the original Star Wars anymore, only the modified editions from later on? Did you know that there are movies you can't watch anywhere because the licensing is in limbo? Did you know there's public domain movies that are important to cinema history that you won't find on movie streaming sites? So it's not so cut and dry.

Keep playing. When you find really cool things that nobody else knows about or sees the value in, it's like a secret door in your house nobody else believes is there, you can sneak in and go on this adventure.

After 10 years of every news outlet being pretending the world ended because a couple elections went the wrong way, it probably looks like that to people who just feel like that was normal.

Honestly, I'm happy to see a bit of balance returning. I don't want the pendulum to swing the other way in the same way, I think it'd be exhausting.

It's kind of amazing how much stuff is out there, isn't it?

@realcaseyrollins Yes, it surprised me both times, I figured Trudeau was going to drag the party into a third place loss, but someone finally convinced him to step down.

@realcaseyrollins @news Guys like this and Trudeau are so supremely arrogant and so supremely convinced of their own righteousness that even though it seems obvious they should step down, they never do.

@Lovstuhagen @news I don't suspect that most people would think "Hey, I want to keep going to war"

Even people who think the war is a good idea don't actually want it. If it can end today, good!
