It’s useful to note that there exists Lemmy servers where down votes are not processed. So the high up vote to down vote ratio isn’t necessarily a reflection of people not down voting, it’s potentially a reflection of the servers that allow down votes along with all other servers (generally they all allow up votes).

We’ve finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it’s a more popular platform.

They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the “screenshot” is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

You know, I was just thinking how stupid the name sounded until you pointed this out. I still think it’s stupid, but now it at least makes sense how we got here.

I think the YouTube Downloader is paid and they might be getting it confused.

People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don’t do enough about it.

Oh but didn’t you know that’s just a slippery slope argument and he’s really just a cool dude and who doesn’t encourage hate or violence? /s

A whole lotta people in this thread who don’t want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

I’ve got a mini and am looking into getting another mini or a full size. Caper sounds like a fantastic name considering how sneaky my current one is.

A lot of it was updated with both OSM (imagery via Mapillary) and Google Maps.

While I love the “don’t make Google stronger” stance, the goal wasn’t to help Google but instead to help the people who needed the imagery. And (at the time, at least) most people planned their routes using Google Maps so it was important to meet them where they were.

Whoa I had no idea this happened. I used to be a part of a group that would go in and add street view for places like public transit stations so people could gauge accessibility. It’s such a shame that Google killed that ability…

There’s nothing worse than SSHing into a remote machine, coding some stuff in vim and losing the SSH connection randomly. Especially when you’re working in a controlled remote environment instead of locally, screen is super useful to keep your place when you get back.

I make use of the Aqara wall switches. Because I live in a 120 year old house without neutral wiring and with 120V lines, Aqara is one of the few that makes a no-neutral wall switch that fits in a standard Decora mount and also works when the Zigbee network is down.

WS-USC01 through WS-USC04

Comes in with- and without- neutral options as well as single and double rockers.

If you’re not in the US they also make a much wider variety of switches, mix of touch and rockers, that work with 240V with and without neutrals.

I’m aware that Aqara is a Chinese company and you should probably never let them on your wifi network. But because it’s Zigbee it’s far less of a risk and they’re plug and play compatible with all of the major Zigbee controllers.

Reputable? Eh, depends on your definition.

A lot of people make use of Sonoff and Tuya-relabled Zigbee relays. If you’re able to control it at a wall switch (so not an actual relay) then your options greatly increase.

I think everyone in your replies is conflating being a full time landlord and a part time landlord. One of them is definitely more evil than the other.

Accidentally checked the bot flag in your account?

In the US they’re a lot cheaper now than they used to be. You can pick up 3M Aurora N95 masks for about $1/ea in store in many areas. Still not nearly as cheap as surgical masks, but also clearly better than surgical masks.

Once you have to start importing them, the price seems to rapidly increase.

That’s where I’m at. Discord isn’t the issue for me, it’s them not using their own platform to communicate major announcements. At that point it’s like you’ve given up on your own platform.

Good point, it doesn’t appear to be. Might be good to drop a note on GitHub (or their contact method of choice) so they can set that flag.

Edit: I just went and sent them a mention on Mastodon. I noticed it’s an admin account so I wonder if Lemmy lets both flags be set at once.

I personally just started using Owntracks, which is a standalone location tracker. There is also Traccar which I looked into but opted not to make use of.

Some people use it as a Find My replacement, I personally make use of it as a Google Maps Timeline replacement (and have imported my previous data as a result) as well as for Tile tracker location history (which I’ve got custom scripted currently).

Wait since when does a tilde mean high availability?
