Isn’t this how us kids in the 1990’s and 2000s grew up? (Minus the phone because we didn’t have them, or just a flip phone)
Calling it draconian to not be able to stay up all night on the internet sounds kind of like an iPad kid as a teenager lol
Nowadays just get an Intel Arc A380 for 150€ and you can use it for a lot more than only Frigate. That thing is a little beast for my server.
Belgium here.
Doctor is 5€ or so, but your general doctor can’t do almost anything but prescribe things or refer you, which is enough for most general sicknesses.
Then you have to go to the hospital for a scan or follow up, usually within the same week, or you can go to the emergency room for something like a break and they will see you immediately (of course, like in the US, you will often have to wait an hour or 3 depending on the time of day). Then for all the tests and everything it is usually <100€, for me I have never had more than 50€ but I haven’t had a break where I had to get immediate care.
Specialists take a long time to see otherwise, often months, but from what I hear from friends in the US, the wait time is usually longer there.
That is only the very first level. Afterwards it switches to gates.
And an electronics guy’s smart home if there is no wireless at all and all KNX and Ethernet wired lol.
KiCAD for 10 years now. Leaps and bounds better than then!
Steam 15 years or so
VLC since windows XP
Firefox since then also
Arduino for quick things for 12 years about
Discord since 2016 (and now looking to change)
SUSE released a set of completely open source sans serif font for targeted at os-level fonts. It is a pretty good font and I started using it on many of my systems.
Nope, it bypasses that and gives you many of the strava premium features by just parsing it out of the “raw” data. Most of the strava features are just statistics or hiding basic data calculated from your runs behind a paywall anyway. You can do the calculations yourself, technically.
Don’t the panama papers detail a lot of this and a financial trail of how they collaborate with one another?
It seems like the panama papers had been collectively forgotten 2 years later, but they give blatant evidence of the secret elite money laundering and invisible payment network of collaboration IIRC.
As far as Nazi ideology, fascism always goes hand in hand with corporatism, so it makes sense.
I respectfully disagree. I understand what you are saying. But censorship and echo chambers on a platform level are a related, but different issue.
I agree that Lemmy is very much anti-censorship.
However, echo chambers can exist with 0 platform censorship whatsoever. It doesn’t have to be the platform’s fault. If people only read and interact with communities who’s viewpoints confirm their own, that is a completely self-made echo chamber. Completely seperate than censorship and completely unrelated to the platform, but instead the people and community moderators.
For example, hexbear users pretty much only interact with hexbear and .ml users (and often ban others). That is an echo chamber. The .world main communities ban people of both too far right and too far left so there is little interaction of those viewpoints with those communities. That is an echo chamber. The community of open source doesn’t ban many people, but the only people who go to that community are very positive about open source. That is an echo chamber.
If you have a dozen rooms in the same building and you have 1 room that thinks the world is flat and the people don’t go into any other room, even though they have free and open access and can go to hear the opinions of the 11 other rooms, that room is an echo chamber
Lol nope, i don’t use bluesky. I agree that corporate manipulative media can go fuck themselves.
I was just correcting your implication for other viewers that the fediverse is any different as far as echo chambers. It is just not a corporate controlled echo chamber.
I mean, every community is an echo chamber, that is what online communities do and have done since the beginning of the internet. Hell, in-person meeting groups are echo chambers more often than not. If you go to an open source convention, the people there will probably echo your opinions on the topic.
Lemmy is definitely an echo chamber in many different communities, I would venture to say most. If someone thinks left communities aren’t as much of an echo chamber as liberal or conservative, then they either haven’t spent enough time there or are lying to themselves just like the people that say “propaganda won’t work on me”
People gravitate towards people with the same views who confirm their worldview. Even if you discuss topics and have different views, you are still in a group with like 90% the same views. That is just how humans are unless one makes a conscious effort to go into hugely different groups like specific debate groups or something.
I find it very confusing to get a good workflow with it + calibre.
I sync all of my books (and use readarr for organization or occasionally grabbing books from dead authors) via syncthing. Then calibre web won’t ingest any new books I copy to the folder, so I have to go to desktop calibre to add them manually, then it will sync the database and calibre-web has a built-in task for scanning any database changes so then the book will show up.
Seems like a clunky method and I would think I am doing it wrong, but I haven’t found a way for calibre to scan books already organized in folders in its book directory.
Can trillium store all files in markdown/plaintext?
How is the theming by trillium? I use a light tan interface because it is much easier on my eyes, personally than high contrast white or eye-straining dark themes.
Something like endurain?
As an engineer, hybrid works best for many of us.
Design phase can be wfh with some in-person idea sessions or important meetings because I have yet to be at an online idea session that was as productive as in-person being able to draw things out and visualize better, and people tend to not speak up or just check out and agree at the end in online meetings.
Testing phase has to be mostly in person for lab tool access and collaboration on physical things.
I have worked with a contractor that did everything from home and had a whole home lab, but it was a big time sink and cost shipping parts back and forth 5 times and you couldn’t physically probe behaviors together which leads to slightly different setups and sometimes different results.
Socially I moved to a place where I had no friends so I like getting social contact at work since in Belgium, it is extremely difficult to make new friends after you are done with school because of a culture of not talking to anyone else unless people are obnoxiously drunk lol. I like wfh on overwhelming days and in-person on days where I want more social contact.
That being said, I work 100% in office now because I live a 12 minute bike ride from work, so very easy.
Kopia is great for this. Choose your encryption, built in support for different provider storage tyoes in the GUI to choose where to go, dedupe, folder structure scramble, etc…
But their flatpak hasn’t been updated in ages…
I have yet to use a consumer ADF scanner on a printer that didn’t feed the paper at an angle until they are crushed and folded, doesn’t matter if the guides are perfectly set for A4 either. It has never worked for me.
Opencloud is a fork from Owncloud Infinite Scale just as nextcloud was a fork from the old Owncloud version.
Apparently much much simpler and more performant than nextcloud in almost every way. It also has a secure file sharing link feature.
They are also based in Germany.
I am about to spin up opencloud behind traefik and authelia hopefully this week or weekend.
Roblox has A LOT of pedophiles and child predators/abusers that groom kids. Like a lot, one of the worst on the internet. It has been brought to the company’s attention thousands of times and they outright say they don’t care.

Not only that, roblox doubled down on supporting pedophiles and actively bans “vigilantes” that try to unmask them or report them to authorities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5PTomkX1gU
