  • Google has shut down tenor's public API for third-party use.

  • Which absolutely no one does. Everyone uses it through chat apps. They just wall gardened to which chat apps and how. Once again taking the free creations of its users and monetizing them

  • On December 4, Microsoft announced a global price increase for Office 365. Pricing updates take effect July 1, 2026.

  • A good reminder to make sure you cancelled that subscription

  • Example Flux Kubernetes Setups

    Jump

  • I don't use flux or traefik, but if you're interested I can show you how I set up Istio.

    As for commands, that's why you should learn either kustomize or helm or something. The huge benefit of kubernetes is infrastructure as code. You write it in yaml and then don't need to remember how to do it again.

  • It was a good run…

  • Even then, the whole city? Women and children too? There were no innocents there? Nah I don't buy it. If god was all powerful he could have selectively smoten.

  • Be a good little consumer.

  • Ironically I was going to buy a PlayStation for GTA 6. Now with digital only on both... Literally why would I? I'll wait a year and buy the "rental" for my PC.

  • Employers who laid off workers citing AI are already starting to regret it

    Jump

  • We bought the hype machine and got giant boners for ruining our employees lives by suddenly laying them off, but now we're starting to see maybe that wasn't as super smart as we told ourselves it was.

  • Locked

    New to Lemmy, what are the equivalents of the subreddits I used to write for?

    Jump

  • Hey welcome! Sorry for the people acting like they know everything and being a bit rude about it.

    So they are right, they don't exist, but I can tell you that there is a demand! Trust me I run some niche communities and there are people here.

    The catch is that you will need to lower your expectations. Lemmy for sure follows the 90-9-1 rule. For any community you'll have 90% lurkers, 9% will comment, and only 1% will post. This means a couple of things.

    First, that you have to be the change you want to see. If you want a community that's awesome! Lemmy will allow you to grow it! However, for quite a while you may be the only one posting, and it feels awkward. It will pay off eventually though.

    Second, to help mitigate that, I would combine your separate communities into one. We dont have the numbers to justify 3 niche ones. 3 niche will be lost forever, but one general could be successful. Then if people think it's time to shard one off to its own community, that's the time to do it. Until then, use tags to help separate the posts.

    I wish you luck on your journey! !communitypromo@lemmy.ca is a good place to start, along with !fedigrow@lemmy.zip

  • Google kills Tenor GIF API, forcing changes at X, Discord, and more

    Jump

  • It looks great, I will!

  • This is a public service meme

    Jump

  • Bravo, I'm one of the few people who probably got that reference. Well done.

  • Happy cake day! Yes San boat. Element was the closest thing I found to discord, but gifs were annoying. Getting this added to apps is the hardest thing, but it's mostly that how to I say "add this integration please" when it's only my one server

  • Thanks! Design was mostly the original creators though.

    It is mirrored on my private Forgejo instance, github was the original choice if the first eng, I will think about migrating

  • Imagine wiping an entire city off the face of the earth because they just are a bit kinky. That was the loving and just god.

    Of course Jesus said to basically throw out the entire old testament and focus on the love one another bits, but it doesn't seem like the churches caught that

  • Heads up that there is a self-hosted gif platform I've been tinkering on, original repo is here but it was more or less abandonded. I've been adding to it slowly here: Gifable.

    The base repo was good, a selfhosted Gif hosting, but I needed more integrations so I've been managing my own fork for about a year. The largest one is a way that Matrix servers can integrate, so it now actually stands up a matrix server and can federate your gifs with other matrix users. The second item is adding Giphy support (I had Tenor as well... but guess I'll remove that), so you can alternatively search Giphy.

    I won't say it's polished, but if Tenor is leaving a sour note in your mouth, having someone else hosting would probably be neat.

  • I have no idea why their property is worth anything. Well I do, ignorant boomers. That market will someday crash though, as the sea retakes everything and the majority of younger folks have no interest in moving there.

  • I'll have to play around with mine then, because I've had not great luck with it, or at least very disappointing. The CPU offloading is fairly slow, but maybe I should try tweaking more

  • Unable to access lemmy.ml from my desktop. Anubis bot protection takes 36 minutes and then fails. CPU is Intel Celeron G530 from 2011.

  • Your OS has been out of mainline support for over a decade. Out of extended support for 6 years. No wonder it's tripping security flags left and right, you're entire machine is a walking security disaster. Well past time to move to a modern OS. You can't ask for support for an OS that's been out of support longer than Lemmy has even existed.

  • RAM manufacturers have been sued for allegedly fixing prices and supply, leading to increased costs

    Jump

  • I didn't think of it that way... but yeah that makes sense. They obviously think this is the top of the market and it can only go down. Why else would you force major brands to lock in here?

  • Gemini in Chrome can now see exactly what you’re looking at on screen

  • and while we had constant outrage from Recall, I assume we'll hear nothing about this from people
