To be fair, often times that question is code for “how can someone contribute to that platform while also paying rent, feeding their kids, etc.”

I think that’s a fair question and IMHO, for a fedi project to succeed, we need some people who can get paid a reasonable wage to focus their full attention on the work.

We’re likely going to continue to see folks who ask for Patreon donations and set up fedi hosting businesses, like Ruud at Lemmy World. We’ll also probably see more folks like the Tapbots gang selling fancy clients for a price.

Individual people will make money so they can live life, but cash cow corporations likely won’t be a thing.

Not a great day for social media. Twitter down, Reddit has not 3rd party apps, Lemmy is being hugged to death by people bailing Reddit and Twitter.

I guess I’ll go outside.

If you’re going all in on smart home shit, you should ALWAYS buy the products that work when the internet goes out, or when the local IoT network shits out.

Example, fuck Hue lights. Gets Caseta switches that are wired in and can be used like real switches. Don’t get a smart lock that requires a phone or a wireless pays. Get one that also has a keypad that is hardwired directly into the lock and has a normal key hole. Carry the key just incase.

Having used both, Penpot still had a feature gap. For example, prototyping in Figma is much farther along. Penpot is still stuck in Invision land.

Looking at that haircut, I’m going to assume this man doesn’t make smart choices. Is that a frombover?

People love to try to cheat on their taxes in the US. Hell, Trump basically bragged about it on the debate stage while running for President.

All in all, what he did was consider a misdemeanor since he paid it back once he got called out.

He didn’t pay his taxes, he got caught, he paid up and now he’s on probation. Seems like he was held accountable.

I don’t see anyone in here talking about HomeKit, which is also a good solution for secure IOT. Many HomeKit accessories can be set up to only communicate with your LAN and to not need 3rd party apps or accounts.

I also have my system connect to a router that supports HomeKit secure, which blocks any phoning home to 3rd parties.

Big problem with HomeKit is 1) Siri is meh 2) fewer IOT accessories

This has to be a joke, right? Digg is basically just an editor controlled blog that reposts the top of r/all these days.

Also… Slashdot? It’s it 1999?

Now that Facebook has signed up about everyone in the planet that’s willing to sign up, they’re going to double down on growing by milking the folks they already have.

That means more short form crack content and less stuff of substance.

Give it time. Big communities will form, and unlike Reddit, there will be more competition between them. You won’t just have one group of mods squatting over “Apple” or “Android” because they registered it first.

Echo chambers that reinforce the lie that democrats want to take your money to pay for irresponsible people’s children.

Some, but it’s open source and a lot of people have day jobs. I’ve wanted to contribute to some things that are annoying me, but after work, exercise, taking the dog out, and making dinner, I have like 2 hours of my time…. so it’s hard to rally.

I do not recommend getting attached to Reddit Is Fun, although it is a great app.

I wonder how much of this caving in was, because a lot of lame mods were worried about losing their past time and or control over large communities.

There are a lot of little Lukashenkos out there that will immediately cave to a bully as long as they’re allowed to remain in control.

Not news? IMHO, it’s obviously news. Enough people noticed that Google’s search results were popping the bed that it got picked up by Reuters, NPR, CNN, etc.

That said, the News mods could’ve merged all these stories into one sticky thread. A lot of other mods did that.

100% has this happen today. Wanted and answer, the only answer was on Reddit, and the Google link was busted.

Step 4. Delete your lifehacker page that mentions you once had a Reddit account.

I wonder what is going to happen on Lemmy when we don’t have reddit stories to rant about
