Alas my TV (LG WebOS 2) doesn’t have an application for Jellyfin, or I’d have switched years ago :-(

It’s about time! I’ve wanted to buy a European for years but never knew where to look

Boost, it was the perfect Reddit client for me and now it’s the perfect Lemmy client, I didn’t have to sacrifice any aspect of the experience.

God I love you, Boost my beloved 😍

I’m on Android. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I give Steve Jobs a penny.

I use the Boost app for Lemmy so it basically feels exactly like the ideal Reddit experience felt back then, which is fantastic.

As for being put off, the only thing that really bothers me is the extreme hatred for Windows and the deepthroating of Linux. It’s creepy.

Like, I love Linux and use it for many things alongside Windows, but I don’t get obsessively weird about it to the point of creating memes or going out of my way to tell people why they’re wrong for using one over the other, you know?

If that were toned down I’d certainly feel a little more relaxed, but on the whole the Lemmy experience has been lovely <3

I don’t live in that country, but while I like Lemmy, no, I don’t have hope any more. I’ve not had that for a long time now.

It’s interesting though, to see the US slowly turn into our enemy, and to consider that Germany will be one of our strongest democratic, antifascist allies against the new axis of evil when the time comes.

Thankfully I’m too old to be forced to fight in the next war against fascism, but I suppose poverty and climate change might kill me before then anyway. There truly is no hope left for me.

Peertube, a voyeurism site for vids of people peering in through window curtains? :P

Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don’t even know what it is.

Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I’m not sure you know what it is either :P

That’s pretty dang cool, and 12 is my favourite number too :-)

What’s your favourite number?

What if the post isn’t particularly appropriate for one community, but very good for another? No point having it float to the top of the one it’s not the best fit for.

Like, maybe it’s still relevant on that community but shouldn’t be artificially inflated with votes from an entirely different group of people with different interests.

Nice idea, I just don’t think it would be good in practice.

Is that like https://criticker.com ? I adore that website, it gives me great recommendations and drilling down into their film database with filters is great.

If you like it, they gave a thing to accept donations to keep it running too :-)

Woah now, who said people over 30 are old? 😮

Anyway, your average internet user in 2023 wants to sign in to a platform with ease (preferably using one tap sign in with their Facebook/Google/whatever account).

They also want that one platform to have everything, in an easy to access and digest format, without having to learn complex rules about how a system works.

The days of needing to understand a bunch of stuff to use the latest social media service are gone, and if we build a website/service that requires us to know and understand more complex stuff, and add more barriers to entry, and MOST IMPORTANTLY if we split it up in to a thousand little corners instead of having it all in one place? People will shy away.

Another issue is consistency. People, myself included, want consistency and accountability. I want the people running the platform to be publicly known figures/companies that are accountable for the platform and how they run it, but with this fediverse stuff, it can be run by any anonymous person, who could be doing anything with the private data in our account back ends. And that could be the case hundreds of times over, with all sorts of groups, from all around the world.

There’s no accountability, no way to ensure they’re meeting requirements of our laws. It’s all very untrustworthy and wild west.

That’s fine for some people, but the majority of normal users? They want security, they want safety, they want simple ease of use.

What’s the deal with this support person being unaware of how to use basic capitalisation and punctuation in sentences?

We learned that when we were 6.

Deeply, deeply unprofessional. If I had an employee that was this bad at presenting themselves to those outside of the organisation, I’d either insist they learn how to write properly in their own time and apply it at work, or possibly let them go.

It may seem harsh, but they write like a child, and that would reflect very badly on us as a team and organisation in every interaction they had, every day.

If you’ve got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Calling a stranger an ass because they’re not living their life exactly how you would, in such a minor unimportant way, is not nice.

So the image never touches the server side, even in RAM, it always remains only on the client machine, and it’s checked there?

If so, then this could be a pretty neat tidy way to deal with this issue, otherwise the image is on the server, even if you “delete it real fast” or such, and I imagine then you’d still need to be in compliance with the law regarding saving and reporting it.

I’ve been looking for a tool to do this for YEARS, my god! Years!!! ❤️❤️

What country are you in the midwest of? That really sucks, I emphasise :-(

I know they have a lot of data aps like that in developing nations still, like those in Africa, but generally in the western world we moved past those around 15 years ago at least, thank the gods. I’ve not even had a date limit on my phone since 2014, so handy for tethering the laptop when I’m on the move!

I’m in the UK, for reference :-)

Woah now hold on there mate, this is the internet, you can’t go making sense, it’s just not the done thing!

U.S. law doesn’t apply in most places, strange that they focused on that particular country for what is a global concern, but for those who are there, I imagine this is very helpful!
