  • What's a niche Lemmy community you want more people to know about?

    Jump

  • !parenting@lemmy.world is pretty active. Doesn’t get a huge amount of discussion threads but when someone starts one they always have plenty of responses.

  • I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of every random library or built-in function of every language on earth so what’s the difference between googling for an example on stack overflow or asking an LLM?

    If you are asking ChatGPT for every single piece of code it will be terrible because it just hallucinates libraries or misunderstands the prompt. But saying any kind of use makes you a bad programmer seems more like fud than actual concern

  • My blog now has Lemmy comments

    Jump

  • I did the same using Mastodon for my blog, ended up switching to Disqus (shudders) just because it supports more SSO options for accounts that my limited readership is likely to have

  • Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?

    Jump

  • I don’t refrain from participating in Lemmy.ml community unless the mods of that community act like the admins do. The majority of users aren’t my issue with Lemmy.ml at least on the non political communities, it’s the admin’s suppression of opposition

  • So I get banned from lemmy.ml What now?

    Jump

  • I think hexbear started from chapotraphouse refugees when it got banned from Reddit. So it’s leftist but with the toxic culture from that.

  • Trump says Tim Cook called him to complain about the European Union

    Jump

  • Did he just call to say “Hey my name is Tim Cook, not Tim Apple” because I doubt that he would be able to have any kind of conversation more substantive than that with DJT

  • Former PlayStation exec says console arms race has plateaued

    Jump

  • I buy Nintendo games but I don’t believe they have should have any right to block me from running their software that I’ve dumped myself on any device I see fit. How does that make me entitled when I purchased their software?

  • Everything is so expensive

    Jump

  • The professors in the US aren’t living in their cars because they pay isn’t adequate it’s because of the cost of the huge amount of student debt it takes to become a phd

  • Democrats Vote

    Jump

  • “I’m not going to vote because democrats aren’t communist which makes them basically republicans” - average Lemmy.ml user

    Jk it’s actually something more like “I’m not going to vote because I’m European”

  • Not sure when iCloud on the web got this good, finally becoming a legit alternative to Google Drive or OneDrive

    Jump

  • For productivity, the iCloud suite is getting up there. It still has a way to go to be as good as OneDrive and Google Drive imo. One important to me feature I like about Drive and OneDrive is that they don’t require you to download entire media files to be able to play them. I basically keep all my media on Google Drive for this reason. Excel and Sheets both have more powerful data formulas compared to numbers (or at least they have much better documentation on how to use them) so I prefer sheets over numbers.

    iCloud is definitely getting there and if I didn’t have the niche specific needs I’d probably just stick with the 2TB family iCloud plan.

  • What the hell Proton!

    Jump

  • Yes that’s true. But also that’s the wink and nudge marketing claim that VPN marketers make while everyone knows the real reason you are using a VPN.

    With HTTPS, DNS-over-HTTPS, and most endpoint firewalls dropping non-gateway traffic, the risk is a lot less than the VPN ad reads want you to believe

  • What the hell Proton!

    Jump

  • Most VPNs sell themselves on encrypting your traffic to an endpoint that either is in a different locale to get around region locks or to put it out of the grasp of the RIAA so they can’t send your ISP copyright notices.

    While remote access to a local network is a good use case for a self-hosted VPN it’s totally unrelated to the use case for commercial VPNs

  • How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?

    Jump

  • Isn’t that exactly what “Active” sort does?

  • How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?

    Jump

  • Once a thread gets large enough, no one is going back to read the first page. Maybe for communities on Lemmy, “Active” is the sort method that would work the best as you’d describe, but sorting the comments/replies by votes seems the best method to make sure the most important knowledge is visible

  • Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated

    Jump

  • Glad I hacked my switch before Nintendo all went to shit. I am done buying Nintendo products. (To be fair I will never have time to get through my back log anyway)

  • All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch

    Jump

  • The use case is people who want pocketable, one handed phones. It doesn’t matter to me if they make another iPhone mini or an iPhone flip. Whichever one they release will be my next phone.

    The last iPhone mini release was in 2021. I don’t want a near 7” pro max phone. 6.4” is too big in my opinion as well.

  • People still working in IT, thoughts on IPv6?

    Jump

  • A lot of networks were designed with ipv4 and NAT in mind. There really isn’t a cost benefit to migrate all your DHCP scopes, VLANs, Subnets, and firewall rules to IPv6 and then also migrate 1000’s of endpoints to it.

    Much cheaper to just disable ipv6 entirely on the internal network (to prevent attacks using a rogue dhcpv6 server etc) and only use ipv6 on your WAN connections if you have to use it.

  • Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app

    Jump

  • MKBD covers all major manufacturers at this point. Unless you want him to say that Apple sucks, don’t see what the complaint is?

  • If you have kids that watch on devices that can’t easily block ads like TVs or game consoles, it’s worth every penny.

    YouTube ads are full of scams and smut and all sorts of other things I don’t want my kids exposed too
