James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Reddit@lemmy.world•A possible tactic for overcoming a permabanEnglish51·4 days agoNo opinion is so important that it needs to post it to Reddit imo
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Looking for a theme that looks like thisEnglish7·5 days agoSuuure
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Looking for a theme that looks like thisEnglish161·5 days agoAre you a bot lmao it looks nothing like lcars
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•This Week in Plasma: time-of-day wallpapersEnglish6·7 days agoThis is cool but why can’t we change the whole theme😖
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Digg founder Kevin Rose offers to buy Pocket from MozillaEnglish0·7 days agoKevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian own Digg now. It’s still going to be a non-federated for profit platform. But there’s no reason to think they would ruin Pocket or even change it dramatically.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What phone should I buy for privacy?English2·7 days agoAny inconveniences you’ve noticed with Graphene? For example I’ve heard tap to pay functionality doesn’t work.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Home Assistant Says Goodbye to 32-bit and Hacky Install MethodsEnglish0·7 days agoThere’s no need for hostility, your characterization of what is happening does not reflect reality.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•I'm very bad at convincing people to care about their privacyEnglish31·7 days agoWell said, I was thinking maybe the entire reason OPs charisma is -1 is because they’re out there trying to convince people to do something instead of just doing their own thing.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clipsEnglish3·7 days agoI agree, I really don’t think the concerns about “not being able to tell what’s real” will be a major issue (at least to those who care about knowing what’s real). Social media has been full of human-made slop for years and if someone is getting their sense of reality from social media posts, then that is the problem and AI isn’t going to dramatically change that.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Digg founder Kevin Rose offers to buy Pocket from MozillaEnglish0·7 days agoI never view it as a “to do list of must reads” but as just another feed but curated really good stuff.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Digg founder Kevin Rose offers to buy Pocket from MozillaEnglish0·7 days agoIs there a better free read later app?
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clipsEnglish20·8 days agoI have a feeling if any of these video generators tried to make a “clip” longer than a couple of seconds they would rapidly become a lot less “real looking”
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How can I contribute processing power to the community?English4·8 days agoA Fedi instance requires a time commitment, there are some good suggestions in here but I recommend some alternative frontends.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fediverse@lemmy.world•An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to MastodonEnglish6·10 days agoWhen using the official Mastodon app (as suggested in the “guide”) “instances” are not a factor at all (unless the user specifically goes out of their way). A new user could have never even heard of the term “instance” and the above steps would work fine.
You don’t just download the app, create an account, and go.
Actually with Mastodon this is literally how it works.
EDIT: I should say this is how it works now, it didn’t always used to be this way. The official Mastodon app used to ask the user to pick an instance, but for a number of years now it defaults every new account to mastodon.social unless they opt out. There was a big brouhah about centralization but the Mastodon devs felt it made for easier on boarding.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the biggest pill you've had to swallow about your own self or habits?English11·15 days agoTikTok → Reddit → Lemmy → …grass?
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it safe to upgrade to paid version of a distro if I'm dual booting?English2·18 days agoI agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.
Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.
Had the same thought, it’s always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out here in the wilds.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Disappointed in Plebbit : I Really Believed in the Vision, But It Was All Just TalkEnglish6·19 days agoTurns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it safe to upgrade to paid version of a distro if I'm dual booting?English32·19 days agoEven without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).
Unless I’m misunderstanding it looks like they do work with rclone https://rclone.org/protondrive/
