yeah i know, sorry about that :P i was using boost to post this and didn’t know it would automatically host it using imgur
any recommendations for alternatives these days? i would’ve gone for something like catbox.moe or 0x0.st but I think those delete uploads after a certain amount of time
+1 for RSS but it doesn’t really replace the comments. granted on reddit the quality of discussion has for sure declined and lemmy is still a little dead sometimes. but it still provides value (to me)
someone should build a distributed comment system that works with plain old RSS feeds
cool! didn’t know that fcitx was also available for android
meanwhile random residential internet speeds in tokyo beating out every consumer connection available in my area (and country I assume):
i joined mastodon in 2017. at the time i was also cutting off whatsapp and facebook and was just generally getting deeper into foss and fedi.
at the same time i was a heavy reddit user and was looking for fedi-based alternatives. i was following prismo development for a while, but that never took off.
i eventually joined lemmy in 2020 but never really found the community, that reddit had (and tbf still has for most topics).
last year during the API fiasco i finally made this account and have been pretty happily reading (and sometimes posting) here.
maybe my comment about gitlab didn’t come across right. i do find oxide’s model to be better and agree with their criticism of gitlab’s.
and as much as you are absolutely right about labour being treated much like any other commodity required for a company to extract value, that is precisely the issue being pointed at here, isn’t it?
we should differentiate and acknowledge that people are more complex than that. their experiment seems to create an atmosphere where work is being done despite compensation not being used as an incentive and instead to enable the worker to do the work.
i personally don’t think this should be a responsibility of a company at all, but rather society (or the state) should assure these conditions… but we are stuck with capitalism and this is a step towards something better :)
greyed out subscribe button
nice. i didn’t know about the lemmy equivalents of mtv!
do you know why i can’t subscribe to the community on lemmy.world?
couldn’t agree with you more. it can’t be that hard to give us an opt-out of podcasts altogether. there’s been an item for that on their feature request forum for as long as podcasts in spotify are a thing
they just don’t want to
the starlabs machine looks awesome! is it only me or does the chassis look like the framework, specifically the bottom part?
there was a post on [email protected] not long ago, if you’re looking for more suggestions: https://lemmy.ml/post/2006550
i use miniflux (you need to host this yourself, no idea how nice it would be to use locally) and then miniflutt on android
hemingway’s debut the sun also rises, i went in blind and didn’t expect it to be about bull fighting. i enjoyed the vibe of the 1920s travel through spain and france, the aimless plot and the character interactions.
i learned that bullfighting is terrible and cringed at the casual anti-semitism all over the book
I sometimes use termux to edit stuff on a remote box via ssh and I haven’t had that kind of issue
for the most part just the fact that SSH as a protocol is not super reliable on a (sometimes) spotty wifi/mobile connection (this could be solved with something like mosh)
the other big thing is using vim with the android keyboard. which is just a major pain haha
the ssh client breaks the format
could you elaborate what you were doing here? like vim on the server via ssh tunnel?
ahh nice! didn’t know that
