Lemmy has so far made $0 total profit. So that makes them substantially more profitable than Reddit.

My "favorite" part was when he read from the (now deleted) Oceangate blog post that effectively said "we don't bother with the mechanical certification process, since very few of the failures that occur in the world are due to mechanical faults".

Really? Could that be because the mechanical certification process actually works?

otherwise a very nice device.

"Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"

I remember when this movie first came out, Mark Kermode (uk film critic) was reviewing it on his podcast and noted that Flatley had won "Best Actor" for this movie at the "Monaco Streaming Film Festival". Kermode pointed out, that for this to be true it must mean that it competed against at least one other movie, which somehow had acting worse that Flatley's. So Kermode went on a quest to learn more about this film festival and the other films in the competition. Each week on the podcast he gave updates on his quest. He was able to get in touch with someone from the festival who could confirm that yes, it was a real festival and that yes, there were other films in competition. When asked about these other films, the correspondent couldn't directly provide any information and would need to consult "the archives" (for a film festival that had taken place 4 months prior). The back and forth went on for weeks, but ultimately Kermode had to give up. We never found out what films had worse acting than Flatley in Blackbird...

I only recently updated my android phone so I won't be jumping on this immediately. But I am very excited to see something like this arrive in the US. Will definitely be keeping an eye on it.

Between this and the Framework Laptop it seems like we can be hopeful about having more repairable devices. I hope this is a trend that catches on.

I think it was called The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.

The production design on this movie looks incredible. It's like kitsch turned up so high it becomes fine art. Can't wait to see this. Never imagined the Barbie movie would be my most anticipated movie of the year...

On the other hand, kbin has a cumulative score, but currently implements it badly wrong. Your cumulative 'reputation' is calculated as "boosts - downvotes". So if you post a thread that gets 100 upvotes, 9 downvotes, 80 comments and 5 boosts, you are rewarded with '-4 reputation'. Nobody really uses boost, so it is very easy to rack up negative reputation.

Thankfully, I don't think 'reputation' actually does anything, but it is still kind of annoying to be 'punished' for posting.

Most folks here are tech savvy and don't mind the kbin name, but I don't expect some of my friends to 'get' it.

To be honest, I don't 'get' it either. Does kbin mean anything? Is it meant to be like 'cabin' or something...

I found this bit amusing:

To get WinGPT working without a proxy, the Dialup.net developer has also developed a 16-bit port of the WolfSSL library to support TLS 1.2 and 1.3 connections on the ancient operating system. This port is, as the developer says, "not secure, not reliable, and there is no warranty," and it should be used for entertainment purposes only. The port doesn't verify security certificates and uses "a fake random number generator" to function.

Yeah, Feedly is great. Been using it for years and very happy with it.

It's kind of a bummer that RSS never took off the way it deserved. It is kind of a precursor to what we have now with Fediverse/ActivityPub.

Looking forward to the Musk/Zuck ass-to-ass scene...

Very photogenic kitty.
