Ring doorbell camera - what are the easiest private alternatives?
Unifi has good equipment, works very well with a small self hosed cloud key or dream machine.

It' the end of red-dit as we know it. (And I feel fine)

This is by design. They've got us arguing about the api price, when their goal was to kill off third party apps and get all users on their app so they can data mine us. And the ridiculous api price is a secondary bonus for them, since AI and LLM companies will gladly pay it to sick up the content on the platform.

I suspect those are OPs urls, and showing them could allow someone to identify the company or site they work for.

Every time that lyric gets me. Every word is meticulously chosen. And all of his songs are like that, which is just incredible.

What is the least SEO-fucked search engine?
Reply in thread
Where do you think is a reasonable price? Search is something most folks use daily, multiple times per day. If the quality of results is good, that seems like a small price to pay. Netflix is pushing 20 a month, and many other streaming services are in the 10—15 range.

It’s Time to End the Tyranny of Ultra-Processed Food
Reply in thread
If that's true, then the issue isn't that processed foods are bad on their own, but a side effect of the processing is that they are easier to overeat on. That's a very different issue that what type of food is being eaten. It's possible to overeat on grilled chicken and vegetables, it's just that it's harder to do.

Seems like each community would have to opt-in to having those bots correct links in their threads.

Classic Kohl's strategy, not sure if they did it first, but its the first place I saw it used in early 2000s.

Couldn't agree more. The processing is a distraction. Good food can be heavily processed and bad food can lightly processed. The issue is that the processing of food makes some foods easier for overconsumption. That's not an issue than can be legislated at the root cause and anything else will have unintended side effects.

US plans water heater standards, says will save consumers $11 bln yearly
Reply in thread
Claiming there's savings just isn't true in reality. If they came out and said it's to help reduce energy consumption to save the planet I'd be all in, and I'm still in for this, but it just makes it hard to fully support with the gaslighting as you aptly put.

I believe programming.dev is the main instance for all programming related communities that left reddit.

Telly starts shipping its free ad-supported 55-inch TVs
Reply in thread
Sad thing is, plenty of people will lap this up as a good thing and see it as a benefit. At least at first, until they realize they have to watch some TV based ads before they watch the ad roll on their YouTube video, followed by the second screen showing some banner ad the whole time. Yick.

First announced casualty of the reddit api fiasco. Sync was the only acceptable way to browse reddit and without killing time on the internet won't be the same.

Which is why all browsers cross identify as other browsers. This would make it easier for sites to block and harder for browsers to work around.

If the majority of the Fediverse is going to defederate from Meta Threads, does that mean we will defederate from Tumblr too?
Reply in thread
Not a huge surprise there is a large anti-capitalist faction on lemmy, so this isn't terribly surprising.
I'm no meta apologist, they've done enough to warrant skepticism. The reality is they can harvest the data even if you defederate their main instance, by setting up shadow instances or just scraping other instances, so that argument doesn't really hold water for defederation. The bigger one is content vs spam coming from their instances and possible EEE measures, but immediate defederation only serves to keep them siloed off and does not let them function as an offramp to better instances for regular users.

It's always been cool, but a lot of people gave it up due to lack of good quality tools and content sites actively working against it. Glad to see the community is still alive and trying to get back to it.

What about riced cauliflower? The issue is the type of processing, but I'd submit that is a distractio to the bigger issue. The problem is that the processing often results in foods that are easier and tastier to eat, resulting in over consumption.
