Subnets
Home smart devices in general. I'm avoiding Alexa, Siri or any other thing like that. Besides the obvious privacy issues I see about them, I can only imagine being alone at home, Alexa thinking something talked to her and responding in a distorted voice. No, thanks.
I'm considering a home assistant at some point, by setting up a proper network for the smart devices alone, but that's as far as I'll go.
I can't listen to anything while reading.
The only problem right now is content. We still have a small userbase. Discussions have been good, tho, and time will bring more people.
Nah, I'm good
What was ChapoTrapHouse?
I saw "Blackberry" yesterday and it was a really good experience putting you in the context of those times.
There is one scene where they type a message and wait for it to show up on another device. After a few seconds, it is there and every engineer in the room celebrates.
Then, management/sales guy comes in and they tell about what they've just done. He goes yeah, nice, but we do it already, it's called SMS.
The engineers then say that he is not getting the point. It was a message sent through the network using data, 0 dollars and all and salesman's eye get brighter.
So yes, I think the sensation was alike.
Lemmy.world or bust
That's great to see. They are expecting a huge influx of users and are working towards having things prepared.
I anticipate a lot of client apps will be ready by then as well, in order to promote themselves and Lemmy/kbin.
I wonder how he will behave as soon as the first thing the date does in the tent is, unceremoniously, going for a poop.
Remember to redact all your posts with "fuck /u/spez" before deletion. There are tools to do that.
Just remember to also do that before API access becomes paid.
I hate the state of our world as it is right now. It's been itching inside my head for quite some time alreadu. It probably is somewhat political, because it probably has something to do with capitalism, but I can't understand how a population that has never been so productive still has to work their ass off in order to simply eat and lay in a bed safely. The more I think about it, the less sense it makes and the more I hate how natural it is for seemingly everyone around me.
I'm not one of these people, despite also not being wealthy at all, I have a job, I don't get paid top dollar but I have a safe house, food on the table and I can do a little bit more with my money, and yes, that's it, EVERYTHING seems to revolve around money.
