What did they do to you?

Plenty on eBay

I have a hard time defending the YouTubers on this one. I mean, Nintendo has been pretty good about allowing older games to be played on its modern consoles. See VGC, the NES/SNES/N64 pass, and the multiple re-releases put out for the Switch. At some point just pony up the money or play the older games on a physical older console.

Gemini Ultra is out now. Gemini Pro has been out for a while, powering Bard. They’ve now ditched the “Bard” name, which I think is a good idea.

My thoughts exactly. They’ve been making bad decisions for years.

(That said, I happily use Firefox)

Holy crap. I don’t, but after seeing that I think I’ll need to start

Have you tried blocking the users in question?

Aw yep, that’s the other big problem, moderation.

I feel like peertube could really use some sort of Lemmy driven community engagement

Agreed. Lemmy and Kbin have been getting a lot of attention lately, and Mastodon is the elephant in the room. But I hear little about Peertube instances. I think they would be a perfect fit in the Lemmy universe.

The one problem I see is cost. Lemmy serves text. Peertube would store and serve video. Lots of it. That’s a big bill.

Huh. That explains some things. I thought my cat was just picky.

The “pay what you can” model from Piotr is pretty stunning. I’m glad the project qualifies for that.

The highest costs are servers. No surprise there.

Glad he has allocated money for legal and accounting advice.

I hope he can eventually raise enough money to pay himself.

Yeah it’s been fun! I’ve set up self-hosting of several fediverse projects and have learned a lot.

I have run both Plex and Jellyfin and I much prefer Jellyfin. I got sick of Plex content being interjected into my menus and feed. Plex also had issues seeing my server which was inconvenient. I now run Jellyfin with Infuse as my client. Love it so far.

Holy smokes! Honestly I don’t know if we have or will make much of a dent in r*ddit, but at this point I don’t care. We’re building a new enthusiastic community and doing it fast. It’s a lot of fun.

Dumb question I know, but do I leave this running on my instance or on my own computer?

I did not think I was going to be bookmarking a post about picking watermelon today.

I always wanted Kid Pix. We played with it on Macs in the computer lab when I was a kid. But our family could not afford the program or the computer.

Hmm, that’s actually not a bad response at all. Two thoughts things brings up to me:

• Decentralization We could use a few more “biggish” instances. Or have existing users balanced out a little more among a few more instances, however you want to think of it.
• Support Visionary Leaders Who even are the leaders? The admins? Should we have more leadership? My gut likes the anarchy, personally.

Actually yes and I don’t think it’s a bad idea. Sentiment analysis is not a hard task nowadays. If overused the site would become a bunch of artificial positivity, but I think there could be a place for this. Could be part of a mod toolkit too.

Very sensible. Nothing wrong with increasing the scope of the fediverse. If things start getting evil we can take steps at that point.
