Why are the alternatives all so defecatory…

I noticed that icon in the play store the other day. I assumed it was a scam/copycat app trying to be distinct enough to avoid a takedown or something.

“software developer says ai will not replace software developers” feels very John Henry

I imagine they’d be eyeing things like having a partnership with patreon so patrons get access to an exclusive subreddit at a certain tier (with reddit getting some cut). Not saying patreon specifically would go for that but I imagine that type of monetization is what they’d be mostly considering. Or maybe a better example would be something in the realm of substack. Paying directly for access is hard to get people to go for without a third party with financial incentive to drive content.

MXRoute is about a decade old and based in Texas. It’s in that “unix philosophy” category of doing something well and stopping there so you won’t get them advertising their new crypto wallet or AI software on you. It’s mostly geared for more technical bring your own domain type of usage. If you’re wanting to use it more as a forwarder and want to store the history locally (or if you don’t email files) there’s a “lifetime” plan available.

I didn’t realize SA still exists.

Next to 0 of the people brigading the PRs and Issues have any interest in using SerenityOS either.

Github really needs better protections against harassing behaviors.

They probably have a bunch of 1 hour ‘books’ that mess with the average as shorter is cheaper to help pad out their numbers.

Looking at my personal library, the median length audiobook is The Last Wish at a tad over 10 hours. So it’d be equal to 1.5 books going by that, not the worst marketing exaggeration I’ve ever seen.

The demo was so fucking creepy. Would rather be in a dark room surrounded by victorian dolls that sometimes seem to turn their head towards you and blink.

How about haptic feedback combined with spellcheck so it’s literally harder to typo.

Checking in from 2026!

The standard way to express that is to have the minimum reqs be 5 and the preferred reqs be 10.

A atheism post of a SRD post of a MuslimCorner post. I really hope lemmy doesn’t devolve down the meta culture road of reddit. Right now it’s mostly limited to defederation drama.

Reason the thread complaining about the pie post being taken down was removed from this c:

reason: Using this instant as a platform for complaints against the actions of other mods

The top comment in that thread describes the reason it was removed originally.

A constant stream of meta whining sucks. Doesn’t need to be some pro-Tesla conspiracy to dislike that.

This is Mildly Infuriating, not I’m dying if this doesn’t stop.

Equally, this is mildly infuriating not mildly irritating. The subreddit is for things you’re getting, albeit mildly, infuriated by.

What’s even the sales pitch for an internet connected toothbrush? Monitor if your kid actually brushed their teeth? Feedback from the “sonic” vibration forming a quasi ultrasound for cavities?

I have one of the ones that has an internal stopwatch to break the brushing down to 4 x 30sec. I thought that seemed pretty smart for a brush.

Slashdot still existing surprises me too.

Are all the ads for scuzzy, borderline scam products? That company in the screenshot is pretty much a gateway drug to homeopathy and vaccine denialism.
