  • The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • Had some of the details super close, then screw up others. Hopefully it's good though.

    1. She tips the "bulb" of drink despite having just snatched it from the float beside her (whats that gonna do?).
    2. The ship spins to decelerate (would have been done long before "just arriving"), then spins again under fire despite not being slow enough. It should be dodging and returning fire whilst burning to decelerate, it's why the turrets are turrets after all.
    3. The station is under zero or very low g - but the drone needs constant downward firing jets to hover in place?

  • Official Season 3 Trailer | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Jump

  • The proper Scottish accent is music to my ears.

  • With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows

    Jump

  • I'd say it's something like a babelfish. You speak English, I hear Spanish.

  • Where to find a torrent for the original, UN-Rematered edition of the OG starwars trillogy?

    Jump

  • You want either, the Despecialized editions, or the Project 4k77/80/83. Despecialized is an older effort and is slightly more noisy with lower resolution whereas the Project 4k versions are what you'd expect. Both are as close to original theatrical release as you would want.

  • Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC

    Jump

  • In the same video it's pointed out that this product wouldn't exist at all without the AMD chip. It's literally built around it.

  • Specifically AMD said that it's achievable but you'll be operating at approx 50% of available bandwidth, and that's with LPCAMM2. SO/DIMMs are right out of the running.

    Mostly this is AMDs fault but if you want a GPU with 96-110 GBs of memory you don't really have a choice.

  • Amazon will remove the option to download/transfer Kindle e-books via USB by February 2025

    Jump

  • They're removing the ability to download ebooks from Amazon. You are still able to add books via USB to your device.

    The piracy is because you could download your Amazon ebook, strip the DRM and transform it to a more generic format, and distribute it. Unfortunately this now means you'll be unable to make copies of your books for "backup in case Amazon decides to remove access" purposes.

  • Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service

    Jump

  • There was a fuss a while back since the released source appeared to be waaaay out of date compared to what was being used.

    They came out and said that they wanted the usernames feature to be developed fully before it got pushed public. Which they then did.

  • Google Pixel owners say 'Now Playing' hardly works anymore – what do you think?

    Jump

  • I get it, privacy is good and people should do what they can to feel comfortable.

    But in the case of the now playing feature that's all done on-device - which is why it tends not to recognise the obscure stuff.

  • "lightly used"

  • A complex smart heating system, simply built.

    Jump

  • Fantastic and well put together post. I very much enjoyed the read and have been thinking about setting up something similar for myself - though I'd need to get TRV's fitted to my radiators and even replace some pretty poor ones to get the most benefit.

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?

    Jump

  • Given the topic, the response and the location I'm going to go with "because it seems neat and could be fun".

    Now, since I now know if it I'm going to give it a crack. 😆

  • Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I'm dabbling in Bluesky atm. Having run my own Masto server for over a year at this point. Here's things I've found that Bluesky does just plain better - mostly cause it's not beholden to the whims of the ActivityPub protocol.

    • Shows me all replies to any post I happen to come across.
    • Lets me see all posts about things I happen to search/look for, including hashtags.
    • I don't have to worry about being unable to see content I haven't personally blocked (not so much of an issue on a small/single server like mine though).
    • I can repost things (not actually too bothered with this one but many people want it).
    • I can set per post reply permissions to a very granular level (no-one, mentioned, followers, specific followers)
    • It handles video in a way that works i.e. I can post them, and people can watch them with minimal buffering/waiting.
    • Gives me access to community built collections/algorithms that expose the content I want to see.
    • It defaults to providing an additional feed driven by what the people I'm following are liking/interacting with.
    • Finally, a big one for new users, it provided a default feed of content when I first logged in so that I had something to look at.

    The first two are huge on a small/single user server. By default we get nothing, following a single account will get us the content of just that account and the replies that they happen to reply to. A post may get 200 replies, but unless I go looking on the original server I will see a fraction of that. Technical solutions exist to help with this but the Fediverse's penchant for privacy and control (quite rightly) limits the effectiveness (Fedifetcher, GetMoarFedi).

    3 is something most people won't think about. But if they become aware they're not seeing something they thought they'd be able to they then have to deep dive into who's defederating who and why.

    Most all the other points just make the whole thing a much more seamless experience for your average user. Bootstrapping a list of people to follow on a small server is hard (I'd absolutely recommend creating a Fediverse account somewhere large first to build up some sort of list before migrating)

    For all those reasons.

  • It's important to note that Revolut is not a bank. Had it been a bank provable fraud would be protected up to 85k under FCA regulations.

    What kind of ***** runs a business out of a "e-money" company.

  • static website generator

    Jump

  • Hugo can be as simple as installing it, configuring a site with some yaml that points at a really available theme and writing your markdown content.

    It gets admittedly more complex if you're wanting to write your own theme though.

    But I think this realistically applies to most all static site generators.

  • Black & White (2001) open source game engine sees a first release

    Jump

  • I wonder if they'll replicate the feature where a strange voice whispers your name (amongst other odd sounds) if you're playing in the early hours.

    Scared the crap out of me when that happened.

    Edit. Evidence https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6529 to show I'm not mad.

  • Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

    Jump

  • How about you assume less? I spent 40+ minutes looking for this here, here, here and here and I'm already fairly familiar having done work on two other ActivityPub based projects.

    In addition public-addressing (or the lack of use thereof) in no way claims to achieve what you've stated - which is probably why it's not the answer to my query.

  • Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

    Jump

  • Ahh, didn't even know there was a flag for that. I don't suppose you could link to the relevant w3c or FEP for it?

  • Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

    Jump

  • All votes are public, they're literally broadcast to the Fediverse writ large. You vote on something on your server, your server then tells the server owning the thing you voted on and that server then tells anyone who is interested (subscribers on other servers). That way everyone knows that this comment was voted on, but that information is indelibly tied to you - an entity on the Fediverse.

    Lemmy devs just chose not to a) show that information in a UI (plenty of other software out there does) and b) not inform people that was the case. Which leads to the whole point of the thread, hiding this from users merely gives a false sense of security.
