Still no API to enable official apps and no moderation tools. It really feels like it's lagging behind Lemmy at this point. Lemmy's growth has significantly outpaced kbin and it feels like it's going to just die a slow death now.

EDIT: Case in point, there are 3 comments on this thread and I cannot see any of them.

You know what's so much more expensive? Teenagers having babies. That shit is expensive for everyone. Having a child's life ruined and forced to raise a child into another ill prepared adult. Costs society lots of money.

And Nintendo will "once again" outsell hardware that out performs theirs.

Steve Jobs was full of shit and killed himself with his own over confidence.

I've been with namecheap a long long time now. They rarely raise prices and it's usually because upstream costs go up and everyone is raising prices. I'm a happy customer and ain't switching. I don't get bothered for endless upgrades. I only get emails when my domains come up for renewal or on the very rare occasion this happens.

Apple used to brag about how Macs didn't get viruses. I used to laugh because it wasn't that they were that much more secur but because their market share was too small to be a profitable target.

Now they've cultivated the perfect target user base. A large collection of tech ignorant or adverse people who have lots of money to burn.

Just most of us, except Amos. Amos will be fine.

I'll let you all guess which one was published in the 50s and which one was published in the 60s.

Anyone know of a USB 3.2 gen2 or lower 2.5gbe adapter that works well with Unraid? I know it's my old friend Slackware under the hood but I'm not sure how far that will get me since it seems to be pretty well stripped down. I'm fresh out of PCIe slots in my little box but have plenty of USB 3.2 gen2 ports to go around since the only USB device I use is my UPS.

The last couple of years we’ve been having fun with some comic experiments during the Summer holiday. Last year, we introduced Lion & Gazelle, who even stuck around because we enjoy the format and how it divers from our normal comics. We also had some fun with euro game covers and before that, we had… Continue reading

You're describing felony wiretapping. Go to the police.

I actually think this might be a violation of the developer agreement for the play store. You should report the app and see what happens.

The ideal solution would be to just not buy Starbucks.

One of the more dangerous features of student monitoring tools like GoGuardian, Gaggle, and Bark is their “flagging” functionality. The tools can scan web pages, documents in students’ cloud drives, emails, video content, and more for keywords about topics like sex, drugs, and violence. They then...

If you do any kind of machining, 3D printing, or PCB layout, you probably have at least considered buying a pair of calipers. Old-fashioned ones had a dial and were mechanical devices, but lately, …

Buy with caution. A completely unrelated company has registered the previously abandoned Mayfair Games trademark and will begin releasing new games under it.

Are there any full featured alternatives to PhotoPrism? I'd be happy to support their devs but charging almost $80 a year for basic features like having more than one user is kind of absurd. At that cost I'd rather just pay for the extra dirt cheap storage from Google and keep things there.

That said, I'd really love to continue moving everything I can away from the big G and photos is a sticking point because I have a wife and child and other family members who depend on it.

Why don't you come over and join in the development?

EDIT: Sorry I did not make this clear. I am not presenting this as a techincal problem for admins to solve, but as a community problem. The kbin.social community as the larger instance is not seeking out communities from the smaller instances.

When searching for magazines (communities) the results almost always show either kbin.social or one of the major Lemmy instances.

I can pull the domains like https://kbin.social/d/fedia.io but when i try to pull a community like https://kbin.social/m/boardgames@fedia.io I get a 404 error.

To compound the problem lemmy communities are much more discoverable because they are listed on https://browse.feddit.de/. So even kbin users are largely interacting more through lemmy communities.

As far as I know there is no such tool to browse or search communities across all kbin instances. Does anyone know if the lemmy browser can include kbin instances?

Fedia.io, the largest other kbin instance seems to have lots of communities on the vine because we largely do not interact with them. But they see the rest of the fediverse like we do.

If we want other instances to grow like kbin.social has we probably need to resolve this disconnect between kbin communities.

Replacing the moderation teams of 5,000 subs should go really well. Right?
