I’m not an expert on this, but the fediverse is just a collection of things that can all communicate on a federated standard. It’s just like email, you can use whatever mail provider you want but you can email anyone else using email.

I guess your question is kind of like “are there other emails?” - and yeah, I guess there are other platforms where you can communicate and send messages, but they aren’t email.

Oh no, uninstall it! It automatically removes lungs as a peer dependency!

cd ~/me
npm install gills —save

I think you just have to open those sites and turn off notifications for them. I would hope there’s a more fine grained option somewhere to say “only when the tab ids open” but if there is, I don’t know about it.

Oh wow, yeah I remember always having to open that info for each program and change how much RAM was allocated to it. Running slow? Quit it, increase RAM and try again. So glad all that nonsense is gone now.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

What? That doesn’t use docker. It’s JavaScript files meant to be used in TamperMonkey

Here’s the repo I added the license to: https://github.com/FiniteLooper/UserScripts

I went with GPL for that one

Open an issue on the project saying “please add a license”.

I forgot to add a license on a project of mine, and someone did this for me, so I looked into it and picked a license to add. I was glad they brought it to my attention!

Articles like this always have a photo of at least one device showing a giant logo of the company for some reason

Yes, Earth Abides is also good! I had forgotten about that one until I saw your comment

Lucifer’s Hammer by Larry Niven is a fantastic book that might be near what you are looking for. It’s about an asteroid impact on Earth, this removes a lot of the population and infrastructure and the story focuses on a few different groups of people as they make do with what they can find or scavenge, and then the resource battling that goes on between groups.

A story line I remember well is on a group that found an abandoned neighborhood and were astonished to find that it still had running water from the nearby local dam/reservoir. They lived here for quite a while in their relative luxury until it just stopped working one day. A burst pipe in some other neighborhood had slowly drained the dam faster than they would have used it up.

Anyway, it’s a great book because it feels so realistic as to what would really happen and the struggles people would actually be going through.

It kinda happened for us, sometime messages wouldn’t send for an hour, and then a chat would just re-order all the messages so that nothing made sense any more.

I once had an intern who previously worked for me call and ask that I be used as a reference, but lie about what they did and for how long. I was like: uh… no if I get a phone call I will describe your role accurately.

Crazy that they would think anyone would do that

If you have Photoshop, it has some AI powered filters that are pretty amazing. One is specifically made to do what you are asking about.

There is only one rule about this event, and your suggestion is a violation of that rule

It’s really accelerated in the past few years. It’s nearly impossible to just read an article or use any product without giving it some kind of information. Lots of people (myself included many times unfortunately) just accept this. I mean, what can be done? If you want or need to use the thing you almost have no choice. If you want to avoid information leaks or being tracked you have to do so much research and work just to find an option, and then hope they don’t get purchased by a company that will reverse it all. I hate it.

Even on a high end TV the speakers are going to be bad. It’s just there to check a box. TVs are so thin that you cannot physically fit in speakers large enough to sound good.

A cheap sound bar will make a huge improvement to audio quality over any built in speaker system.

I had looked into Reolink a while back and that seemed like a great option to me. Upfront cost and setup seems like the biggest hurdles, but probably worth it in the long run. Thanks for the recommendation!
