If you’re not happy with how communities are ran you can create your own. Nobody is hogging precious namespace so you can spin up @numismatics@treants.penis and run it any way you like.

It’s completely fine to slack at work if you can but who is your wife to you not tell her something like that? I get the impression you’re scared of telling her because you used your job as an excuse to not to pitch in more effort in household tasks. Ridiculous.

My Apple Watch SE1 exploded (not really but a spicy pillow popped the screen off adhesive). Got an SE3 because Apple seems dead set on delaying interoperability with third party smartwatches in the EU as much as they can. I thought I could stay on iOS 18 because SE3 is compatible with iPhones going back to XS but it looks like I’ll have to update to Liquid Ass. According to the progress bar downloading the update will take 4 days so I can watch how pretty my new watch looks on my desk. Really happy with the purchase so far /s

It does federate for sure but implementation looks quirky.

How else would you engage in a foreplay with your laptop?

I have ThinkPad at work which is pleasant enough to touch due to rubberised plastic but wanking with it sounds tricky because of how stiff it’s hinges are.

Does that make it legal? Cool.

There’s Kodi in WebOS brew appstore. I’ve only ever used Kodi for offline media libraries but as far as I know there’s plenty of third party Kodi addons for this kind of piracy.

I rarely pirate stuff on Mac but I’ve had this saved in my bookmarks: https://www.torrentmac.net/

More obscure stuff might not be well seeded but I haven’t found anything better.

If you’re a publisher only then RSS/Atom makes much more sense, especially if you want to retain ownership and control over content you created. If control is not important to you and you want to incorporate social aspect into your website (comments, reactions) then ActivityPub seems like a convenient way to go about it.

One thing that I strongly disagree with author of the blog post is the discoverability aspect. Yes, initial federation kind of sucks but at the same time your readers on Mastodon will be able to boost it and increase your reach.

Reddit is astroturfed to hell, I prefer my posts to come from humans rather than companies trying to game system for financial benefit.

Unleaded gasoline and unleaded everything.

From what I’ve heard having near-death experiences while riding a bike in Netherlands is the norm and the Dutch are used to it. Somehow they manage not to kill themselves all the time, which remains a mystery.

That’s still the case so automation + multiple providers is still the way to go. This guy here makes Usenet provider maps so that you can figure out what combination will work the best for you: https://gnu.gl/users/rexum/statuses/114789594488827582

I assumed OP is after some kind of media manager with integrated download capabilities and Zlib doesn’t have anything similar as far as I know.

• Couch Potato is pretty much dead, Radarr is the way to go.

• Back in the day Sabnzbd was considered slow and inefficient so Nzbget was usually recommended. These days both are pretty much indistinguishable performance-wise and Sabnzbd seems to get more active development.

For plain ebooks there’s a Calibre plugin that integrates Anna’s Archive as a store. Requires a paid account but works okay in my limited experience.

It’s been happening for a long time, probably won’t end during our lifetimes.

Not going to argue with that, but it does pose challenging questions on how to govern digital archival so that certain lines are not crossed. Current restrictive laws push archival into the grey zone where it’s hard to effectively enforce privacy protections.

I just woke up after blissful 3h of sleep because for some reason my brain is managed by a a bunch of monkeys on speed. If waking up was as easy.
