I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I'm moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I'll share more info :)

  • Signal seems to be down as well?

  • Taps 'View Map'

    Allow deflock.me to use your location?

    I get why it's helpful, but this might discourage the target users from using the tool. Maybe it could request location only if the user taps a 'locate me' type button?

    Would you recommend Lemmy to others, and if so, what kind of content or communities make it worth it?

    Jump

  • If they ask for recommendations / alternatives, then I mention it.

    I also share links with friends when there's something relevant or interesting, same as any other social media platform. Usually it's when there's a good comment or explanation, else it makes more sense to share the original source

  • Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber wants an AI agent in every board meeting

    Jump

  • Hanneke Faber became CEO of Logitech on December 1, 2023, after leaving her role as group president at Unilever. Since joining the Swiss peripheral manufacturer, Faber has attracted attention for her unconventional ideas about how personal technology should evolve – often with a focus on benefiting shareholders and companies first.

    Faber is now best known for proposing the so-called "Forever Mouse" concept – a device with constantly evolving firmware features built on base hardware that customers would purchase only once. According to Faber, users would happily pay monthly or annual subscriptions to access these software-based upgrades. However, no concrete business plans have yet been announced to bring the idea to market.

    Regarding pricing, the CEO compared the mouse to a Rolex watch and the software to Logitech's video conferencing business. A paid subscription is possible, but Faber offered no further details.

    I'm not saying that this should take priority over all the other things the developers are doing, but I'd still like to see it implemented at some point

  • How do I create my own community and is it allowed on my instance?

    Jump

  • While Voyager has mod tools, I'm not sure if you can create a community in the app.

    You might need to do the initial setup on the website: https://sh.itjust.works/create_community

    Afterwards you should be able to take mod actions on the app

  • Meta will move React to Linux Foundation to address vendor dominance fears

    Jump

  • From what I understand, React is still very popular and it's the usual recommendation for those who are learning web dev frameworks.

    React Native is not as popular for new projects though, and I usually see people recommending Flutter

  • Meta will move React to Linux Foundation to address vendor dominance fears

    Jump

  • Meta will contribute React, React Native, and JSX (JavaScript XML) to a new React Foundation, part of the Linux Foundation, and said that "it is important that no single company or organization is overrepresented."

    The React Foundation will start with seven corporate members – Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion, and Vercel – and its responsibilities will include maintaining React's infrastructure and trademarks, organizing React Conf, and sponsoring the React ecosystem. The first executive director will be Seth Webster, Meta's head of React.

    React, created by Facebook in 2013, is the most popular JavaScript framework. (Facebook changed its name to Meta in 2021.) The most recent State of JavaScript survey reported usage by over 80 percent of respondents. React Native is a cross-platform UI framework based on React, and while it's not as dominant as web React, Microsoft is a particularly big user. Usage of React is also likely being boosted by increasing deployment of AI coding tools, which in our experience tend to default to React if not prompted to use a different framework.

  • In terms of wallet, keys, phone, etc, which pocket does each belong to in your jeans?

    Jump

  • All of this sounds convoluted, but makes sense in my head.

    Makes sense to me. I do something similar mainly to avoid tiny scratches on my phone screen. I hadn't considered coordinating the coat pockets with the pant pocket system, but I might do that too now 😄

  • Is tailscale running / logged in on those other devices? Does it auto detect the server like it did on the phone?

  • A fediverse platform that lets you block whole topics, not just communities?

    Jump

  • Imo it might be easier to collaboratively build keyword lists. It's tedious to tag posts manually, and it becomes impossible to do it effectively after the user base grows past a certain point. You can auto-remove any post that isn't tagged, but a lot of people dislike that kind of filtering and only a few communities would implement something like that

  • IMO it's partially because investors are willing to throw money at anything "AI" related, and so people are throwing everything at the wall in case something sticks

    • guides can be prioritized more in some projects and it might be in the best interest of the creators to do that
    • different guides are written for different audiences, sometimes a guide isn't meant for the average person
