and take the order

OK, now that’s just Chaotic Evil.

Haven’t heard of bubbles.town before, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I notice that Lemmy is not explicitly listed as one of the login options. I tried the sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world, and lemmy.world, and got the same error as you did. I also tried a couple Mastodon instances (spacey.space and mastodon.social) and it seemed to recognize those as valid options.

Is there some way to confirm with the devs of bubbles.town that Lemmy is included in “other Fediverse-compatible servers”?

I know @grant@toast.ooo has used Lemmy as an authentication method for the Fediverse Canvas events, so in theory it should be possible, but the devs might not have implemented it.

I love the convenience of it. Digital money, books, and communication channels are way easier to use than their paper equivalents.

However, for media like movies and games (and I guess books, to an extent), I do have some reservations regarding ownership and long-term archival. In many cases, “purchasing” a digital copy turns out to be “purchasing the right access to view/use the content for an indefinite (but not infinite) period of time”. That doesn’t really seem like “ownership” to me. For some media, I’ve opted to purchase a physical copy to support the creator, but then obtain a digital copy from, uh, “elsewhere”, or convert it to a digital copy myself.

There was another case where a show I wanted to watch was released only on streaming services, but later removed and never released on physical media. There is currently no legal way to watch the show. I would have happily paid for a physical copy had it been available, but I had no choice but to obtain a copy from “elsewhere” :)

No. I miss some aspects of the pre-2022 internet, but I’m always wary of thinking that things were “better in the good old days”.

I’m also wary of pinning technological shifts on individual people. If Sam Altman didn’t exist, would large language models and diffusion models not exist? I don’t think so.

Wait, what? This is the first I’m hearing of this. Is this just games, or movies too?

SpaceX booster is about as sensible as transporting your newborn baby in a cybertruck

Is it? The Falcon family of rockets is probably the most reliable operational launch vehicle at the moment.

To start off, !ontario@lemmy.ca would probably be better than !main@sh.itjust.works…

I’m getting a 502: Bad gateway error.

it’s only secure if you START OFF WITH A SHARED SECRET to authenticate the key pad and first round

Wait, really? There’s no way to establish a secure connection over an insecure channel via quantum encryption?

booster

It’s actually the upper stage which will hit the moon, not the booster. The booster landed back on earth.

I wonder what they’ll name this one?

POV: You are Patnou’s ChatGPT

The only thing I use Facebook for is Messenger and WhatsApp. I recently got all my immediate family members on Signal. Outside of family, there’s still a bunch of group chats with people who haven’t switched over. For anyone I know who uses both, I’ll always message them on Signal whenever possible. Slowly trying to convert my friends, one by one.

or that the idea of turning them off is simply inconceivable (why would I turn mine off and let others make money)

If that’s the issue, it seems like time-of-use rates or smart metering could be an easy solution. If the price of electricity were negative during periods of oversupply, I bet people would figure out how to disconnect their solar panels pretty quickly. This would simultaneously incentivize energy storage projects.

This seems like a good problem to have, no? Just need some batteries or some interuptable industrial processes to absorb the excess.
