  • The end of optimization

  • that's not how any of this works

  • Translate the web your way, plus choose the Firefox icon that suits your vibe | The Mozilla Blog

  • Honestly I was upset when they announced the "pivot to AI", but Mozilla is the only company I've seen actually using LLM tech in a productive, helpful way. The link preview feature is nice too.

  • You're not wrong about the Nazis, but since Substack doesn't run ads, clicking will technically cost the company money.

  • Commander Tucker must be alien catnip. I’m wondering if he’s going to beat Kirk and Riker in number of alien hookups before I finish the series.

    跳过

  • Well, it's not no.

  • I don't remember any technology being pushed as hard as AI

    跳过

  • The forced app thing still drives me crazy, we could have had it SO much better...

  • The Syncthing Android drama is exploding

    跳过

  • It always is. The thing with FOSS vs a private company is that internal debates are:

    1. Public
    2. Involving people working for free

    Meaning we not only see the ""drama"", but that it can become more verbally intense. Buuuuut it almost never ends up mattering much to the average user, and when it does, the public certainly won't learn about it on github or the replies to a toot.

  • Right? The entire point of the fediverse is more moderation, if someone wants to force others to listen to their speech they can join an instance with no rules or go to X.com.

  • r/buyfromeu asking for a reddit alternative

    跳过

  • I've just accepted that most Redditors want a content feed to read on the toilet, and very few are looking for conversation or community.

    If we can convince people looking for the latter to come to the fediverse... now that's the real victory.

  • /r/RedditAlternatives comments ask for alternatives, Piefed and Lemmy are mentioned a few times

    跳过

  • Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml attract the most users but their (lack of) meaningful moderation really helps prevent users from staying, imo. Most users don't understand that joining a smaller instance is often a better experience. And why would they stick around the Fediverse if their experience is worse than that of Reddit?

  • I really dislike LLMs/AI but.......

    跳过

  • The right tool for the right job... LLMs can't do a lot, and can make a lot of things worse when misapplied, but that doesn't mean the technology is wholly useless.

  • Is it confirmed that The Doctor we'll be seeing in Academy is NOT the one from "Living Witness"?

    跳过

  • On one hand I desperately want to know what happened to the Living Witness Doctor, but on the other, the mystery makes the ending of that episode so much better.

  • I had enough of big tech and their actions, so created this guide to make switching as easy as possible

    跳过

  • KDE is friendlier to Windows users than GNOME, but Mint is still a good option.

  • Smart light bulb suggestions

    跳过

  • This only applies if you use their bridge and the bridge is connected to the internet. If you do what I said in my comment (zigbee2mqtt addon with dongle) then there is no path for them to collect. The Zigbee2Mqtt addon allows for firmware updates.

  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Exclusive Clip | Paramount+ (CCXP 2025)

    跳过

  • It may feel that way, but there is a lot of evidence pointing to that not being true.

  • Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Exclusive Clip | Paramount+ (CCXP 2025)

    跳过

  • lol nah, instead of the show they'll go watch YouTubers who will tell them to ignore their lying eyes and continue to reiterate that the show is actually a teen drama.

    Remember how the main overarching plot of Discovery was all about gender dysmorphia? And how that's all anyone on the show ever talked about? No? Well, according to Youtube it was.

  • The Doctor still doesn't have a name??

    I think I will need to be sold a bit on Holly Hunter, but otherwise this looks pretty great and much better than I expected when announced.

  • Smart light bulb suggestions

    跳过

  • I found that Phillips Hue bulbs works great with the Zigbee2Mqtt addon (and poorly/not at all with ZHA integration) and the $25 Sonoff dongle. Home Assistant sells their own dongle which I would imagine works even better too.

    Hue bulbs are more expensive than most, but people seem to say they have the best color consistency.

    If you want to stick with Wifi you could probably just hook up Tasmota plugs to your existing lamps.

  • This is kind of getting out of control

  • This community really needs better moderation IMO.

    "The problem I've found is that it's easy enough to create a Reddit clone using Lemmy, but getting people to actually use it is the issue."

    A good thread to mention Lemmy in - a Daily Show segment about social media companies, most of the commenters don't seem to realize that nonprofit social media exists!
