  • How has it taken this long?

    Jump

  • It might be old and slow, but I love RS-232. It works on every platform, you can write a client or server in just about any programming language in a handful of lines (and understand what they all do). I’ve literally made working RS-232 connections with paperclips and scotch tape. After the corpo wars when we’re all computing on salvaged tech you’ll come to appreciate it.

  • Just have kids of your own. Then suddenly you're consumed by their baby->childhood->high school->college playthroughs, which can keep you from staring into the void for another 20-30 years.

  • Thank you for your work! A native Jellyfin client is pretty much the only reason I still have a Roku.

  • When Digg has the “Digg Effect” and Reddit has the “Reddit Hug of Death” then what is Lemmy’s equivalent?

  • What was life like before Wikipedia?

    Jump

  • Mostly you either went without knowing stuff, or you had to go to the library. I knew a couple of wealthy folks who had their own sets of encyclopedia at home which could cost thousands of dollars.

  • What is something that people think is scary, but isn't?

    Jump

  • Public speaking. I've seen surveys where more people are afraid of speaking in front of an audience than they are of dying, which is utterly insane. For the vast, vast majority of scenarios where you might find yourself speaking to a group of people, the risk level is very low. Likewise, in the vast majority of cases, few people are likely to remember much about your performance. It's just talking.

  • You can pick any date you want to go back in time. You can take anything from the present with you. What do you take?

    Jump

  • The Ancient Greeks had steam engines centuries before Rome existed and mostly just treated them as curiosities (probably because they were too impractical to use as weapons of war)

  • I prefer trilium but need an offline first option for mobile notetaking...

    Jump

  • Obsidian or Joplin. Offline first, clients for every platform, and easy self-host (if you want) syncing options and plugins.

  • Humans

    Jump

  • This reminds me of the plot of a Futurama episode where Leonardo da Vinci goes back to his home planet where he is a renowned moron.

  • Are there good uses for the blockchain?

    Jump

  • It's a reasonable technology choice for whenever you need to have a ledger that is shared between multiple parties. Blockchain gives you an immutable (un-editable) history of transactions, including who made it, what it was, and where/when it happened, and gives all of the parties who are allowed to edit the ledger a way to trust in the outcome, even if the parties don't trust each other.

  • Do you drink a lot of coffee?

  • Ooh, I haven't tried the cannon thing yet… why did I never think of that?c

  • I don't want to be forever young, but I'd love to feel like I'm in my 20s until I'm 100.

  • Trump, using extreme rhetoric, calls Harris 'mentally impaired' and says she should be 'prosecuted'

    Jump

  • How the fuck is this still a tight race? I just for the life of me cannot understand (I mean, I can, but... I just can't).

  • Any arguments against separating identity from instance/platform? (single identity across the fediverse)

    Jump

  • It would be ideal If the big activitypub platform stacks like mastodon, Lemmy, etc could agree on some standard like a federated OIDC or DID approach for all authx/authn functions. then fediverse users could get cross-platform and even cross-instance logins “for free”

  • POSSE Method: Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere

    Jump

  • Feel like the (totally impractical) fediverse end-game would be for each individual to have their own activitypub service, and federation happening on a person-by-person basis. So you retain some control over anything you publish, and your history is yours to keep.
