  • A Step Towards Full Bluesky Federation? | Self Host a Bluesky Atproto Network

    Jump

  • By that logic we should also connect up with facebook and 4chan, not to mention twitter itself. bsky is just another one of those platforms from what I can tell. It is fairly new so not yet blatantly evil, but give it time. We here are supposed to know better.

  • A Step Towards Full Bluesky Federation? | Self Host a Bluesky Atproto Network

    Jump

  • There is already a fediverse twitalike called mastodon. I don't understand why anyone here cares about bluesky.

  • What smartphone do you have (if any) and what are its issues/quirks?

    Jump

  • Moto G Stylus 5g 2023. I'm satisfied with the hardware but Android has its own issues and it only gets 1 major version update, to Android 14, which it's running now. Main new feature of the 2024 version is wireless charging.

  • You've been given the power to remove anyone, who was alive before you were born, from the timeline. How do you use this power without inadvertently making it so you were never born?

  • without inadvertently making it so you were never born?

    I dunno, getting rid of the My Pillow guy might be worth it anyway.

  • Apple accused of snooping on workers’ iPhones in new lawsuit

    Jump

  • Every company tries to get people to use personal phones. It takes some gumption to refuse.

  • Should I Create A Rust or C Wikibook?

    Jump

  • Writing a book when you don't know the subject matter doesn't sound likely to result in a good book. Even more so for a language like Rust, which (short of Haskell) is the closest thing to a mainstream language that is informed by a lot of pointy headed PL (programming language) theory. A book about programming in Rust doesn't have to go into the theory per se, but the author should be familiar with it, just like someone who writes an introductory calculus or statistics text really needs a much deeper mathematical background than the book itself will convey.

    If you want a Rust-related hobby, first of all, why not do Advent of Code in Rust, or otherwise make a study of Rust? And then if you're interested in PL theory, that's another area to study. Harper's book PFPL is a good place to start: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/pfpl/

  • Name a more iconic trio. I'll wait.

    Jump

  • Harpo, Chico, and Groucho.

  • Is it worth buying a "renewed" laptop on Amazon?

    Jump

  • I wonder if you can use the cards on woot.

  • Is it worth buying a "renewed" laptop on Amazon?

    Jump

  • There are some decent looking ones on woot. I might get one. They have the same models regularly so some consistency of supply.

    I've bought tons of used laptops over the years and done fine. Mostly thinkpads.

    Also there are some very good black Friday deals for new laptops. Try best buy (today only) and Costco) through December). This intrigues me:

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-yoga-7-2-in-1-16-2k-touchscreen-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-8840hs-with-16gb-memory-1tb-ssd-artic-grey/6571363.p?skuId=6571363

    Black Friday price is $550 for those reading later.

  • How much do you pay for your phone plan, what do you get in return and in which country?

    Jump

  • $10/m redpocket.com, US. 1gb/m 5g data plus some big amount of voice+sms. This is way more than I need. They have smaller plans too.

  • What are the pros/cons of your 2FA app?

    Jump

  • You don't want it to be ridiculously easy to back up, since that is an attack route. Anyway I'm happy with FreeOTP which is on f-droid.

  • Are dynamic lock screen and Al in mobile phones the best tech trends this year?

    Jump

  • Don't care at all about dynamic lock screens. Actively want to keep AI out of my phone, maybe excepting specific apps. Battery tech by itself is nice but you know that stronger batteries will just result in even power hungrier phones, so no real good will come of it. Hinged phones break more and cost more.

    NTN (satellite text messaging for when you have no cell coverage) is the main interesting phone tech to appear recently IMHO. Everything else is just little tweaks or outright regressions. I prefer more repairability and openness to more features by now.

  • New storage setup, comments?

    Jump

  • SSDs for backup? Being rich must be nice. More srsly if you have the upstream pipe for it, remote backups are preferable in case something happens at home.

  • Gross and grosser.

    Jump

  • There is not a single thing that “Kid Rock” could do that would make him look cool.

    Maybe this?

  • Thinking about making my own lemmy client, but I could use some feedback

    Jump

  • I use Voyager on android but the web client or "old reddit" style on larger screens. You could also look at redreader which is an android reddit client that could be adapted to Lemmy. IDK if there's an iOS version.

  • Postmen/women (Mailmen/women) what are some interesting stories you have to share ?

    Jump

  • "This morning I looked in the personbox to see if the personperson had brought me any person". --Spider Robinson iirc.

  • Ex-Google CEO warns that 'perfect' AI girlfriends could spell trouble for young men

    Jump

  • I want to see the unfolding of a scorching romance between two partners, each not knowing that the other is an AI.

  • A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages

    Jump

  • Old but classic.

  • What are some tools you need when starting to do basic DIY Mechanical work and possible home improvement in the future.

    Jump

  • For working on cars on stuff as complicated as transmission swaps, you have to know what you are doing, but look into a QuickJack.

    In other regards just start with a few basic tools and get more as you need them. You can justify buying a $100 tool if it saves you from e.g. a $200 replacement item or shop repair.
