I wouldn’t be surprised. She’s had a number of wellness checks called on her

ELI5: Why are SBCs nowhere to be found?
Reply in thread
They aren’t even great platforms anymore in comparison.
Other SBCs are cheaper, more smartly designed, and have more features (emmc, pcie, etc)
The big thing RPI have going for them is that they are the standard and all the OS/software/etc end up being super turnkey

How does less of a subscriber base lead to way more expensive price? Unless the dev is greedy and wanting to suck the souls of all the early adopters.

Lemmy World SysOp
Reply in thread
As someone that fits this bill perfectly, and considered tossing my hat in the ring, I kind of agree with this person.
While I may not agree with the phrasing and hostility, the point still stand that they are effectively looking for Senior Level + DevOps.
And 5 hours a week will turn into 30+ as the person or persons takes over ownership of the required pieces.
My main holdup is just having enough time personally.

Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important
Reply in thread
I don't think accepting reality is making excuses.
Comparing meta to beehaw, or really anything else, is truly coming up short. Meta is the 8 ton gorilla in the corner. If the numbers that were released about 30 mllion people on Threads is true, they instantly have 10x the total population, and that numbers going to go up as more people stumble upon it.
Point being, Threads doesn't need any other communities. People using Threads are those people who have never used reddit, and never would have signed up for lemmy. These people are also the same ones who don't care about if their content is coming from a federated source, or just Threads.

Microsoft Finally Realizes Nobody Wants Its Windows 11 Preinstalled Bloatware

feels like a bit of a strawman.
arguing that you can't use the client without the license for the server... on the same machine, is silly. There's tons of utility with the client even if you don't have the server license locally, especially if you ever use the Remote Desktop Client remotely.

The SOB knew he was dying long before the public found out and still voted 100% with Trump, like a real piece of shit.
Except not true
I'm not saying he gets a pass, but he was closer to the Democrat's "vote with Trump" number than most of the rest of the republicans.

Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts
Reply in thread
Blue LEDs used to be super expensive. Therefore, only high end electronics had them. So once LEDs got dirt cheap, everybody started dropping blue LEDs on everything to capture that "premium" feel.
Now of course, it's just obnoxious

Have you been listening???
In Slovakia, gay adoption AND marriage was on a referendum, and weirdly enough, Francis threw his support because against it. To "preserve the family"
So "kill a few million people with nukes" is the same as "gender theory"
God loves you but you ain't equal. Homosexuality is a sin, but not a crime. You are welcome in the Church, but you are also immoral and going to hell.
Sheesh, I was worrying a bit there. At least I'm not violating the laws of man.

How Signal Walks the Line Between Anarchism and Pragmatism
Reply in thread
If you are required to give them information that they can use to figure out who you are, it’s not anonymous.
So if you are on normal post-paid cell phones, where you have given them your real info, or use a credit to pay for it with your name on it, etc. that means you aren’t anonymous.
So when super secret drug lord is caught, they can figure you were talking to this drug lord and charge you, because they have his end of the communications and can verify with your cell provider who YOU are.
Privacy just means they don’t know what you are saying. They may know you are communicating with drug lord but not what you are saying.
You can have neither, one or the other, or both
