  • You can add them to any community :) I added a low volume feed to !medicine@lemmy.ca as a test, and you can see the recent post it made

    You can also chain multiple commands in one message iirc

    I'm looking around for other feeds that don't have too much spam. Some ideas include

  • Oh interesting

    Last update was 12 months ago, are there any newer models out now that it could use?

    edit:

    Wow this is decent. I didn't have too many photos on my phone, but it's able to identify some basic animals and plants

  • Why are people willing to sell their kids to defend the above companies?

    I don't really see this happening.

    As for why I recommend some things, it's usually because my recommendation is better than the alternative.

    Perfection is hard to find, but in the meantime I'll recommend something good over something bad.

  • .dev It's time to return to the roots, to the C programming language.

    Jump

  • why do we need this fancy 'C' language, when we could just write everything in assembly?

    No, only pure machine code. Anything else is rude. If we're going to get help from computers, then the least we can do is speak their language

  • That would run face first into proprietary info and corporate classified info.

    The other side of regulation should be around purchasing. Bad repairability, delays in repairs, and proprietary parts need to be more important factors when deciding on what device to buy. Either at the government level for public institutions, or at least at the corporate level for private

  • So it sounds like you could make categories that are

    • location based: sky (flying), jungle
    • climate based: ice/cold, desert
    • task based: tunneling animals, builder animals, nest making animals

    You could also start from a list of animals and then categorize them afterwards based on what you have. As for a list, maybe by biological families or classes?

  • I need to start using this one, I already use "burn that bridge" fairly often

  • What comes to mind?

  • I remember hearing about Cyanogen way back when, didn't realize LineageOS was forked from it

  • What comes to mind?

    Jump

  • I remember reading an update which said that the company went back on most (or all?) the negative changes and it's ok to use again.

    I didn't confirm it myself, but that's part of why the alternatives aren't seeing as much development now

  • Eu to make Apple open up operating system to rival tech (link added forgot to include it this morning)

  • From the last paragraph, it sounds like the intent is to make it easier to switch devices and services, which would be great

  • For anyone that has friends that can be convinced to move off snapchat:

    • it doesn't actually delete things after the timer goes out, it just hides it from view. Sometimes the app bugs out and that data will be accessible again
    • signal has stories and the same format of disappearing messages
    • everything else that's good about signal

    If what they want is the "One weird trick your doctor is hiding from you" style content on the discover page, then I got nothing.
