Thanks for the explainer, that last point is really great actually and I’m surprised that Amazon/Google etc are pushing for Matter if the data isn’t sent to the internet.

Not sure if you are looking for blogs but I this guy is a good writer: https://rys.io/en/index.html

I am just getting started on this journey but zigbee seems great and I like that it works fine even if the wifi goes down. I’m not sure what the drawbacks are or the benefits of Matter.

Hilarious that that account’s made a single comment pushing back on classic lemmy hysteria/paranoia and then apparently left the platform.

Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.

“Shitposting” describes the act, not the content. Posting content “that took little to no effort” to produce is just spam. It doesn’t matter if a human made it or not.

I think quote posts are undesirable for the reasons you mentioned but I have to accept that it will be huge for adoption, and the flip side (promoting others work in a positive light) is also going to be really great.

Very nice (and sad)

I like where your head’s at, but Mastodon’s system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn’t rely on a third party.

Lemmy does feel more and more like 4chan every day…

Star Trek VI is the best one, IMO. It has:

• Historical allegories
• Political intrigue
• Mystery
• Anti-racist themes
• Spaceship battles
• Awkward Chekhov

Yeah haha, as the other guy said, this drive definitely seems on the louder side of average, but the thing I wanted to illustrate is the pattern of the sound which I think is distracting at any volume.

It’s probably a matter of taste, but every one I’ve ever heard was absolutely not something I would want next to me on my desk while I was trying to focus.

Those used enterprise drives are actually highly reliable but they do make a ton of very unpleasant sounding noise and it’s not just loud “brown noise” whirring like a normal HDD.

Here is a video of what they sounds like, not something most people would want on their desk.

We’re simultaneously in a place where there are more options than ever, and yet it’s become increasingly clear there are really only 4-5 options.

BASHIR: Out of all the episodes of star trek, which ones were canon and which ones weren’t?

GARAK: My dear Doctor, they’re all canon.

BASHIR: Even the non-cannonical ones?

GARAK: Especially the non-cannonical ones.

You’re correct where it counts (not Roman at all) but it was around before Italian Fascism:

It was during the period of the French Revolution that the gesture was invented by revolutionary republicans who framed their politics as a revival of the Roman republic.

Does it count as “a human” if it’s a bot reposting human-made content for the 50th time?
