Still not fully integrated, but it's nice to see broader ActiviyPub adoption beyond "follow a handful of users who opted-in". I never expected Meta to be the company inching towards federation and not bluesky. Makes me wonder if Tumblr will ever follow through with their promises to federate.

edit: To the (sadly predictable) response that "Meta will screw you over in a heartbeat" YES, of COURSE they will, that's why it's GOOD to be able to access Threads content safely and privately from a non-Meta controlled platform.

Jellyfin is great, but in defense of Plex, they announced that remote streaming would require one of the two parties to have a Plex pass was coming back in March so I don't know if it's fair to say they are holding anything hostage.

Big fan of low tech magazine!

LOL nice find, I don't remember that moment.

I posted last month on this topic but I too forgot how many bangers are in Season 2 especially, they just tend to get overshadowed by the later seasons.

If you're using HAOS (ie not running in docker), there is an official add-on called "File Editor" that allows you to edit the config.yaml and upload files from the UI. It's not perfect but gets the job done.

HA has a "www" folder that by default that is accessible to the network. Anything in /config/www appears at http://yourhassaddress:8123/local, so your images will be at http://homeassistant.local:8123/local/image.jpg

I think it's silly to get caught up in definitions too. Cory Doctorow calls the bottom panel "techno feudalism" and I think that's pretty good.

...little did Berke know at the time the events set in motion by this strip...

This is great, I just cross-posted it to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It's really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn't get bogged down with technical details.

I said this elsewhere too, but the bottom panel depicts something other than capitalism, since capitalism definitionally requires a competitive market.

Companies that are ostensibly in competition but not fighting each other too hard, is just another way of saying they are not in competition. It's not capitalism.

We DO have very explicit laws against it, they have just sat unenforced since the 80's (except for a few brief years in the 2020s).

I don't want to defend capitalism, but the bottom panel depicts activity that is technically very illegal in the US (but antritrust laws have not been enforced by the FTC since the 1980s, barring a few short years in 2020s under Lina Khan).

Capitalism definitionally requires competition, without it you have... something even worse.

Trump's presidential memoranda argued that the National Guard deployment was necessary and defendable as these [...] demonstrations "constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

This bill creates a task force "The purpose of the task force shall be to detect, disrupt, and dismantle illicit marketplaces."

Rick Moranis, I’m speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.

hi it's me rick thank you for continuing to believe in me it's children like you that keep the christmas magic alive

Not gonna jump on a Kickstarter but I like the idea behind this. Does anyone have experience with these automatic brake lights? They don't seem like the best idea to me but I'm open to being convinced.

I say this as someone who generally liked all the new shows, but since the premiere of Disco in 2017 this whole era of Trek has felt unstable.

Again, I liked everything that was produced, but I also feel that these "premiere TV" styled, $5 million+ budget/episode series are clearly not sustainable business model for these shows that are also only on air a couple of weeks out of the year.
