poison the pool for LLMs

This is the correct answer. Some people wanted to try making the þ show up in future LLM answers.

I hope you’ve edited and then deleted all your comments before closing the account? There are nice scripts for that and it’ll devalue Reddit if there’s less useful information on there.

The problem is that wireless CarPlay works via WiFi. And your car only has 1 wifi module. So, it’s either providing a hotspot or wireless CarPlay. You could try whether it makes a difference connecting your phone via cable.

“You have 20 seconds to comply.”

You could add the podcast to NeoDB and link there. While the item pages aren’t properly federated, all the user comments and ratings are.

UI/UX seems to be a nightmare though, plus missing software

I’d be fine with just a shell prompt if there was a usable keyboard to type in commands. Similar to a BlackBerry Classic. I’d just write shell scripts to do all the things I like to do.

I also like the idea behind the Planet Computer devices. But I rarely need to do serious work while out and about nowadays to be willing to lug around such brick.

Apart from the stuff already mentioned, never stop shouting into the void about stuff that interests you or projects you’re working on. Add a few relevant hashtags so your toots can be discovered. It may take a while, but people will come. Don’t give up.

I believe Infuse has Jellyfin support on Apple TV. But they want like £100 for a lifetime license or £2 a month / £13 a year.

Reminds me of companies that still call themself “startup” even after several years with a successful product. Just so they can rip employees off with low base pay and unpaid overtime because “we’re a startup”.

Then remove the combined up/down thingy and add the separate up and down chips. They show separate numbers.

Then do the same thing under Settings --> Comments --> Interaction Bar.

Mlem - replaced Voyager for me.

But will they continue to moderate content by German leftist standards?

But what do you do with your Passkey in your password manager if you have to login on another device (you don’t own)?

I’m running a local SearXNG which still provides usable results. I don’t see the point in paying for what’s basically a smart phone book. If everything fails, I’m going full #oldweb and use #webrings or some of those retro lists.

Even better: YouTube still provides RSS feeds. You can “subscribe” to your favourite channels by adding them to your RSS reader.

And for desktop, there’s also FreeTube.

They’ll probably make “Maps+” soon after.

News Explorer on macOS, iOS and ipadOS. Syncs everything, so whatever device you pick up, you can continue reading where you left off. Also supports following people on Mastodon and YouTube channels via RSS.

As Plume isn’t maintained anymore, there are also a few ActivityPub plugins for WordPress which work very well.

NeoDB is Trakt.tv

As someone who always had some kind of PDA (CASIO digital diary, Palm, Compaq iPaq) and switched onto the smartphone bandwagon pretty early (SonyEricsson P800/P910i, Qtek 9000, various Androids and various iPhones) … I don’t think I could enjoy the experience with a dumb phone. I love modern technology too much.

I once had a colleague that religiously only used a Nokia 3210 (the newer 3G/4G model). Which meant 160 character messages only. No emojis, no photos (as MMS were expensive). He was also the kind of person to use paper maps when driving - incl. stopping to look for alternative routes if some road was blocked or jammed. That’s definitely not for me.

The only way this could work for me would be to have some small PDA that can connect to the phone to use the Internet. And I appreciate that both devices have been merged into smartphones at some point.
