lmao I just said the same thing before reading your comment

Of course it’s just bad writing, but I kind of wouldn’t put it past management to try shoving their multitude of codebases through an LLM at this point.

The A stands for Automation, right?

I think I either tried that or didn’t want to bother lol. I guess it felt slightly less janky to click on another backend on nadeko. Gonna update freetube for sure though. I probably shouldn’t care to proxy videos that much.

Unfortunately the only invidious instance I’ve been able to rely on doesn’t enable the API endpoints. The admin is a real trooper though. I’m not sure if it’s the flagship.

True, that might be more in scope for a client. I do like the idea of a system baked into the protocol that “just works”, but I also know nothing about activitypub lol

Hereditary solely for that ending banger. Or anything by Atticus Ross and/or Trent Reznor. I recently rewatched the Book of Eli and it feels dated, but THOSE SOUNDS.

Brother, you just made one. The answer is deep inside yourself.

You’re totally right. My optimism gets around that by hoping if it isn’t Lemmy, this federation, that federation, some other new initiative or tech, community will find a way to make itself. I guess my bigger worry is accessibility and notoriety/viability, but I think that will always come in time too. There are smart, willing people out there, and gathering is human instinct.

I just made another comment that elaborated my stance more too.

I didn’t realize there was a trend of European users. I haven’t really thought about it, but Lemmy could use some sort of translation layer to facilitate multi-but-not-bilingual community. There’s a lot of German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese speakers I’d probably love interacting with and would never know! For now I rely on bilingual non-English natives or the little French I remember and just lurk.

I’m kind of sidestepping the point, but I think the average user will always be able to depend on the community to some degree, at least hopefully. All it takes is one savvy and willing user to support a huge section of community, bless the admins. If I’m being pedantic, most admins don’t own the hardware anyway, but that’s not the point. It’s not even the software necessarily. If it isn’t Lemmy itself, the spirit of independent web won’t go away. People will be always running Tor, I2P, fedi, I’ll even include crypto. The community isn’t the platform, it’s us.

I apologize for the uncalled-for Ted Talk.

To be optimistic, I’d hope the federation would be able to guard against deeper centralization like a more extreme .world or .ml, a la meta or whoever. There’s always space for grassroots instances, and I’m pretty sure there will always be someone out there running something or with enough interest to learn.

DivestOS has my attention as a graphene user. Not to switch, unless I ever get fed up with the pixel.

Divested is behind the Mull and Mulch browsers, for what it’s worth. I never looked deeper than using Mull, but apparently Divested is one person.

It’s not a contest, but I think this one wins it for me. I haven’t even scanned it yet.

It’s not so much about estimating odds as it is limiting the potential downside. Hedging is the rational part of things lol

Are you crazy? An exe could corrupt the registry, delete system32, format C:, or delete the MBR! They’re dangerous!

Psychedelics, man.

Because they’re like, cool, man.

I’d love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I’ve ever eaten.

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the “quality control” is what I had heard about.

You nearly killed me with a damn meme. I can’t breathe lmao, jesits take the wheel
