I understand this as an immediate reaction to software like this, but I have to disagree. I care about so many people… too many people. I want to keep up with them because our relationships are important to me. However, the human mind forgets stuff, even things that are important. Sure, I’ll remember someone’s birthday most of the time, but this is insurance that I won’t, it’s insurance that I won’t lose meaningful connections because I got too busy with work or passion projects.

I’m uncertain about the future of computing. However, I know that the new laws are meant to control people. They can’t control bots, and they can’t control servers, because those machines aren’t owned by individuals, they can’t be identified and linked to individual real people. Therefore the solution to me seems to be posing as an unmanned machine.

I personally use Navidrome, so everything I suggest will be based around you using that as well, however Jellyfin is probably a good option too.

Navidrome has been incredibly simple, and there are numerous great options on android for player apps. Metadata can come with the music as you get it, or you can use tools like beets or musicbrainz Picard to tag them in bulk. Navidrome has been set-and-forget for me, as I’ve set the download folder for slskd (self hosted version of soulseek) to be the library folder for Navidrome.

Seems very new given the unfinished wiki but I’m interested. I’m a bit of a weirdo and want like 9 side buttons (Minecraft lmao) so id probably need to mod heavily. Either way, this seems like roughly what i want. Thanks for sharing :333

To my knowledge movie-web was a solid and simple piracy site based on a former piracy site (can’t remember the name) that worked roughly the same way before it got shut down. Later, movie web shut down and pstream picked up where the left off. Not long after, pstream went too. All of them built off the others and the UX was really solid by the end. Better solutions exist now, though.

I think it’s cool þat you use þorn

Edge runs on Linux?

Good reminder for anyone concerned about not being able to find a job: literally anything can be a startup. If this guy can get 25,000 people to send him photos of their shit, you can find a way to get a 5th of that user base to give you $5 a month

Do you have tips for how to handle a relative who’s engaged with a pretty directly evil company/business practice?

I yearn for a Lemmy version of the DashCon incident

I’m a proponent for purelymail if you own a domain

So google misheard that he was a diddler… instead of a fiddler…

Also true. It is called social media, so I’m pretty okay with anything happening to any of the comments/posts I make. All the same, I do expect vaguely better behavior from moderators.

I think this will exemplify the beauty of federation. If I find out my instance mods are running all of my comments through a company’s ai model, I’ll switch instances. This is in great disparity to something like Instagram or Snapchat where every photo I post is immediately fed to ai and my only options are: be okay with it, never post, or delete Instagram.

TI and collegeboard have been in bed together for years.

Who up not paying a living wage

Harvard startup bros have learned anything with cultural relevance and good branding can make money, even if the service doesn’t meaningfully improve your life

LMAO

I’ll concede the whole argument because you’re well informed, but you’ve kinda just been an asshole from moment one. Do you want information exchange or do you want to be right?

hello!

• you are right, but i think we can agree that calling attention to the difference between a linguist and a polyglot who made an auxlang is pedantic.
• all nouns in esperanto end in “o”, unlike in spanish, where “libro” (book) is masculine and puerta (door) is feminine (there are less obvious examples like “lapiz”, masculine). I think its fair to say that esperanto has un-gendered nouns since you cannot delineate a gender from just looking at the noun itsself. any source on esperanto will corroborate this.
• i dont neccesarily disagree with you about this, but esperanto does have fewer moods than spanish, so id call it easier than spanish on that front. it also has fewer declensions than russian (to my knowledge)
• i say the french did it beause Gabriel Hanotaux was the one league of nations representative who didnt want to adopt it for international relations. esperanto is notably easier to learn than french on account of the ungendered nouns, fewer moods, etc. I think it would make sense for politicians to learn it and we avoid all the translator BS.
