I need both threads and spaces, which limits my options. I use Element web on my PCs. On my phone, I am forced to use Schildichat because the Element app slows to a crawl after a couple days of use.

Haha thanks. It’s definitely a lot. It’s really sad that this kind of thing is what is necessary for smooth interoperability.

It will be necessary once we’ve done all the much more effective and cheaper stuff. For now, it’s important to make it better for when we need to focus on it. That said, anything more than academic at this point is probably designed to allow emitters to keep emitting longer.

Can we not use popular racist and fascist slogans for stuff like this?

When I was using Windows, I used Adobe Lightroom with the Negative Lab Pro plugin to digitize my film negatives. I’ve played around with Darktable, and it does the job, but it’s a lot more fiddly, and it discourages me from processing film.

In Denver, at least, our tool library is $150/year, or $40/week.

Our makerspace, Denhac, is $45/month, or $22.50/month for students, seniors, etc.

The makerspace allows for 24/7 badge access and has a full machine shop, a full wood shop, two CNC routers, auto/bike tools, a bunch of resin and FDM 3D printers, a well-stocked textile shop, a well-stocked electronics shop, a bunch of workspaces and meeting rooms, and short-term storage. The tool library has portable hand and power tools you can take home with limited shop hours at an rate of $22/hour or $19/hour if you’re a member.

Sure, the tool library is cheaper, but as soon as you need any of the bigger tools, it makes much more sense to join the makerspace unless you absolutely need to be able to take tools home, and even then, if you need a shop for more than 2 hours per month, it just makes sense to do both and never use the shop at the tool library.

“We want the market to decide”

“…not like that”

A Verizon rep told me the other day that their cellular home internet is just as good as my symmetric gigabit fiber service. Fuck these companies.

I have the same issue. I just told people that if they want to have me in a group message, we need to use Signal, or they will be frustrated.

As long as people keep buying this slop and as long as game studios don’t have strong unions, things will continue to degrade.

Proton also has a VPN

I use Read You for RSS

For WhatsApp and other platforms, I host a Matrix server and add bridges for them.

To replace Google Home, I host a Home Assistant server

For music, you can host your on music streaming service with Navidrome and use an app like Ultrasonic on your phone. If you don’t want to buy music outright, you can get a qobuz subscription and use qobuz-dl to grab music from it.

I second Kagi. It’s great!

I use the standard Firefox browser and I’m pretty happy with it.

If producers were forced to account for all emissions, either they wouldn’t exist or oil and gas would be charged for what it actually costs, buyers would happily switch to cheaper renewables when possible, and a lot of plastic junk just wouldn’t get made.

The fault lays at the feet of producers and the politicians they bought.

I fucking hate when small businesses do this. Why not push for transition funding instead?

A local coffee shop in my city is telling everyone that upzoning is bad across the board because if their neighborhood gets upzoned, their landlord would sell. They’ll happily try to tank massive progress instead of trying to work with it.

Are you asking about System Updates, the GrapheneOS App Store, Google Play Store, Aurora Store, F-Droid, or something else?

Edit: Didn’t check to see what community this was posted in. My bad. It doesn’t auto-update for me either.

HOLY SHIT Onslaught was definitely WICKED SICK

I know that. I mean why are they not part of this agreement with the Internet Archive.

Why the hell aren’t UT2004 and UT3 in there as well?

I recently started using compose2nix, and I’m enjoying it.
