  • The thunk and all the silverware and glasses rattling lol

  • This take is riddled with naivety.

    Not only will Meta read, train AI on, aggregate and datamine, and correlate this data with your real identity, but when Meta announces that “the easiest way to be on the fediverse is to just use Threads” then all the people who avoided Mastodon because it was “too complicated” to sign up, all the people who are basically already signed up because they scroll Insta all day, will go with Threads instead of spreading the load out.

    As smaller instances start to drop off under the load, under the lack of interest as threads grows and they shrink, merely mirroring the traffic of a centralized corporate entity, users start to flock to threads for its reliability and speed.

    Then Meta pulls the plug, since “no one really used this ActivityPub thing anyway, it was too technical”.

    Threads isn’t about beating “X” (lol X is in a death spiral, it’s only a matter of time), it’s about ensuring the Fediverse never rises up.

    See what happened with Google Talk and XMPP.

  • Processes that run on the same system can run as different users (including kernel) which is used for privilege separation. This can still allow a program in userland to peer into otherwise restricted system processes or the kernel. Every system is a "multi-user" system, even if there is only a single human user.

  • Front-loaders usually restrict you from opening the door before they're drained, or else some idiot would flood their apartment.

  • No, the second one says "Sept. 8th 2023" and that last panel is obviously British (you can tell by the teeth) /s

  • No no; you see - it was in the cloud.

    That means it should be patentable and it will provide 38% returns over four years. Trust me, bro.

  • Naw, that’s always been thar since the Christian founders wanted Christ in the consteetooshun!

    Don’t try tuh reright histery, commy librel!!1

  • Lawnmower Man 2 might have been a shit movie but the whole concept of dystopian capitalist VR cyberspace was actually not far off, conceptually

  • It's worded confusingly. Let me see if I'm correct here:

    If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason

    This is not in reference to the lemmy.world users being prevented from using the instance, but instead is about the possible motivation of said attack

    then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.

    Continuing on to say that you could understand how a person could hold a grudge over a perceived slight

    The way you worded it make it sound like you mean lemmy.world users should hold a grudge against the attackers for preventing them from using lemmy.world, which is why people are confused. It might have been better to say like "The attackers are probably retaliating for being banned or something"

  • This article feels like it was written with LLM

  • HomeAssistant is not cumbersome in the slightest. The only issue is that you have to set it up yourself, so if you do it poorly then it’s cumbersome. People post beautiful dashboards and automation blueprints daily multiple places around the internet.

    Honestly the most mildly infuriating thing is that you have this whole bunch of devices tightly integrated with an easy local solution and you decided to use their cloud app. You never use the cloud app! It’s always a trap. I don’t even use the Nabu Casa cloud stuff from HA.

  • My brother in Christ, if you have Shelly why don’t you just run HomeAssistant which controls them locally? https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/shelly/

    Why would you ever hand some server on the internet control of your own fucking home?!

    Join us !homeassistant

  • It might not be a good idea to create a device that sucks all the oxygen out of an enclosed space meant for a human during operation 💀

  • I didn’t even realize this was a thing already. The apps need to add this ASAP, seems like a pretty vital part of making the experience smooth.

  • It’s literally the most residential of all possible properties, what are you talking about?

  • Companies should test to open web standards and tell users to file a ticket with their browser devs if something breaks because of nonstandard behavior.

  • Probably important to also include that personal property is not private property. Private property would be means of production such as farms or factories - they are owned by the workers collectively. You still can have a house, a bed, a refrigerator, a TV, etc.

  • You wouldn’t be able to lift the door without the spring acting as a counterweight. It’s usually a big roller just above the doorway on the inside (right near where the track curves in) with cables that run down to the bottom door panel.

    So yeah, huge spring under constant tension.
