What kind of grinder do you have?

Hiding a camera in person would be actively malicious if the other party doesn’t know. Having a zoom recording leaked is less actively.

The OP discusses exactly a solution to the anyone setting up an instance to capture the data, because the users home instance federates their votes anonymously.

There maybe flaws in it, not that’s exactly what it aims to solve.

Not seeing it on f-droid yet.

Such useful features. They should be built-in. But I’m glad they’re serviced separately so we get updates outside windows update cadence.

It took me a while to realize that me and my close circle are so far removed from what most people are doing so I could logically accept that there are people who click ads and buy the stuff.

I hate ads as much as anyone on Lemmy, so I deliberately avoid clicking the ones that slip through uBlock, but I do accept that just seeing them has some influence on me.

There are huge deaths of folks that blissfully unaware (maybe by deliberate ignorance) and just happily buy stuff that’s advertised to them.

While it’s appalling to me, it’s not even something most people consider or even care about. I don’t mean this to be gatekeepy or elitist, it’s just a different value system and that’s fine, that’s what I had to realize and that’s why ads are big business.

Campout Magazine is woman owned and has a very vintage and retro feel.

Seems more like it’s own top level discussion than related to the 1985 song. But carry on, who am I to rain on your parade?

Is there a community for lost lemmings?

I don’t think we should have to accept toxic behavior or content on facilitate discussions.

Perhaps the problem is that many folks are quick to label anything they don’t immediately understand or agree with as toxic, and if that’s what you mean I agree we need less of that.

Future Idiots.

Can you read data off a floppy disk today? How many others can? How many in fifty years can? The point is that left alone our physical media of today is not compatible in the future because you need specialty tools to read it.

Anyone can pickup and read a piece of paper or a rock with carvings in it. The point is that not only does the media need to survive, but the means to make use of it needs to survive as well.

That is the key issue with technology today. Someone needs to keep loving the data from floppy to zip drive to thumb drive to hard drive to whatever is next or it’s lost.

I fail to see the distinction:

story >> book (paper) == own

story >> movie (DVD) != own

That doesn’t add up. I realize this post is more about streaming than physical discs, but the point remains.

That’s no worse than you started. The fact remains nobody is going to get 100% coverage of their contact list on the fediverse without Meta, so trading a Facebook account for a threads account is no different, and it ignores the benefits of that time when you maybe able to live without either.

Or maybe the 512kb.club a more reasonable balance between 250 club and the 1mb club.

Also with a view: jankfree.org for a similar focus on performance.

Yes. You can. I have a personal site that is using nuxt static site mode and it renders extremely fast and clean output.

Check out https://250kb.club all performance sites focused on speed and small size.

I tend to agree with your summary of the generations, but my experience in life sounds largely similar to yours, so some obvious bias there. The future you paint feels almost inevitable, and I hate every bit of it. Yet I can’t find any reasonably effective way to change it.

Miniflux.app is very good.

I appreciate the good faith you’re putting into this. I tend to lean your way, but it’s interesting to see this discussion play out. Thanks for being respectful. I appreciate it, even though (up to this comment) I’m just observing the thread.
