Thats honestly fuckin dope. I use google home automation for helping manage a medical condition and at some point I really wanna switch to home assistant
Huh, that makes sense. Someday I need to sit down and learn all the shit vlc let's you do. Some of it seems like it'd be helpful to me if I actually knew how to use it 😅
Thought I'd comment to add: if you're on android and enjoy using F-droid apps Transistor, and URL Radio are two great apps for listening to internet radio stations like radiofreefedi
I think URL radio is just a fork that was updated to material design 3, but transistor seems more actively maintained :)
So, I find people talking about blue sky confusing; if I search for a bluesky user to follow via Mastodon, I don't see them come up. Does that just mean my server isn't federated with them? I'm on mastodon.online, which I think is one of the biggest instances.
It'd be cool if I could actually interact with blue sky but it's really not clear to me how it works if I don't have a blue sky account and am interacting externally
I mean that only seems like it'd be true if oil isn't involved, since running water over something coated with oil seems like it'd do pretty much nothing
Yep! The height and slope of the car's front end is actually one of the leading predictors of health outcomes for pedestrians involved in motor vehicle accidents
Now please give me back my cute flippy headlights 🥹 they make me happy and they're not even up during the day when you're most likely to encounter pedestrians!
Pop up headlights! Way cooler that way. I've heard a couple reasons given for why they stopped being a thing, but one of them is that they were considered too unsafe for pedestrians-
Which is a fucking crazy though when you consider what we now blindly accept in automotive design with respect to pedestrian safety 😅
I really appreciate you taking the time to write out your thoughts and share what you think made the old internet different from what we have today.
I'm 25, and never experienced any of what people talk about as "the old internet". I didn't even get to Reddit until it was already on the decline.
With many of the ways the world is changing, I think it's important to consider not just what we want of our future, but also what we wish to keep of our past. And because you experienced a chapter of the internet's history that I haven't, you fundamentally have a perspective that I don't, and that I really value you sharing a little bit of with me.
This post gave me a lot to reflect on, regarding what I agree with and whatnot, and I really hope this conversation regarding the Fediverse continues. We can build something that looks forward while learning from what was special about the past, and that starts with trying to understand what made it that way.
I appreciate your time, hope you have a lovely day today
Most people use an extension on web and an app that uses the system autofil functionality on mobile (at least on android, I've not used iOS for a long time)
You don't have to open anything, or type anything other than a password. On mobile you just use your fingerprint, don't have to type anything at all.
If you're taking about initial setup that's also gonna be a lot more complicated for an average user than bitwarden.
A command line tool is not even remotely a comparable user experience. It may work wonderfully for you, and I'm glad it does, but it's pretty out of touch to suggest that it'd be a good fit for most people
Its worth noting I don't think they're actually a company anymore, I think they're now a non-profit (I may be mistaken, but that's my present understanding)
