I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing an extension to the IRC spec to bring in reasonable discord-like functionality to some servers. It’s time we start moving back to open standards from walled gardens.
I work a day job in IT, have a side business doing IT, work an occasional shift at my buddy’s liquor store, and sell furniture on the side.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•What do you think about Apple and its ecosystem? (And a little conversation I had with a colleague)
9·3 years agoI’ll stop buying apple when I can get a multi-core arm machine that’s not made of scrapbin plastic from a traditional PC manufacturer. I have two M1 machines running Asahi Linux and they’re excellent computers.

Music@beehaw.org•Do you listen to any new bands? Or just same as 10 years ago?
3·3 years agoYoutube has put me onto a lot of Australian stuff lately, such as Smoko (The Chats) and Hertz (Amyl and the Sniffers) as well as some more indie stuff like Wet Leg. I might just be old but these bands are all new to me and I love it.

Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Reddit broke today: Looks like it doesn't like dark subsEnglish
1·3 years agoIt’s funny they chose that tactic to promote, seeing as walmart corporate will do all but burn the building down whenever there’s a successful union drive or anything that looks like it could manifest one. They’ll close the store indefinitely for ‘cleaning’, toss any spoiled inventory, and hire an all new crew. So not quite burning it down, but they’ll definitely footgun themselves to prevent any worker choice. Burning it down would do all the work for them.

Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit's backend seems to be entirely down nowEnglish

“Reddit Failing to Load Identified - We’re aware of problems loading content and are working to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. Jun 12, 2023 - 07:58 PDT”

Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Reddit broke today: Looks like it doesn't like dark subsEnglish
1·3 years agoLiterally the two subs are identical in content posted for the last several months

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Are all these thousands of lemmy servers useless?
17·3 years agoWhat there needs to be is concerted development focus on fixing these quality of life issues. Unfortunately, there was not much time allowed for this to happen seeing as it was about a week or two from the announcement to the start of the blackout. These things take time and development time isn’t always available.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What's the current state of printers on Linux? Are there any decent options?
1·3 years agoI love mine, it just works. I have Linux, macOS, and Windows devices printing to mine flawlessly.
Sounds like a skill issue, Mr. CEO

Technology@beehaw.org•what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back
3·3 years agoBringing the r/place concept here would be cool, perhaps different instances could all do something similar of their own? Federated r/place sounds fun. :^)

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•I like this significantly better than MastodonEnglish
3·3 years agoI don’t think so, but I could be wrong. I guess the “groups” functionality of Facebook could technically qualify it as such, but its primarily aimed at being a social media website. I’m not 100% on it either, because there’s a lot of overlap between platforms and their functionality.

Creative@beehaw.org•It’s WIP Wednesday! What’re you working on right now?English
4·3 years agoIt’s no longer wednesday, but I’ve been working on getting my office set up. I’ve rented some space from a friend in the town I live in to run my IT business out of. It’s getting pretty cozy.
So my understanding is Reddit, or specifically u/spez, tried to claim that the Apollo developer was blackmailing them over the entire API pricing debacle. The Apollo developer posted the audio and transcript of the call with Reddit showing they were lying. Now they’ve claimed his App is poorly developed and making wasteful amounts of API calls- so now he’s posted a large swath of code online to disprove that also.
tl;dr reddit CEO caught in a couple lies

Technology@lemmy.ml•3rd Party Apps should add a 'delete user history' function before going offlineEnglish
2·3 years agoMake sense. Deleting a post probably just toggles a ‘deleted’ flag in the database and doesn’t touch the post contents. Writing over the comment, however, would actually change the data. Then you can proceed to delete it.
perkele@sopuli.xyztoReddit@lemmy.ml•Reddit is claiming that Christian Selig (the Apollo dev) attempted to blackmail them
8·3 years agoIt’s been such a slow decline but the writing has been on the wall for a while. Maybe this is the push everyone needs to take a chance on a new platform.







I love IDLES, don’t know how they didn’t make the list. Never Fight a Man with a Perm was playing on my commute.
