Can’t describe how much I’m enjoying seeing all these classics. Can we do Boxxy next?

Sometimes you have to separate the art from the artist, lest you will cut yourself off from valuable work (when it doesn’t try to shove these views on you).

Surely the current ones can do that already.

Twitter traffic is 'tanking' as Meta's Threads hits 100 million users (www.cnbc.com)

Meta’s new text-based social app Threads has quickly gained 100 million users since launching last week, which appears to be negatively impacting traffic on Twitter. According to web analytics, Twitter traffic declined 5-11% over the first two days Threads was available compared to the previous week. Threads was able to grow...

It really sucks that this is a legit concern in the UK these days, I’m sorry.

I think Lemmy will be a bit like that too, but I can see it happen for example smaller instances where you interact with the same users over and over on the local communities, more than on the other site.

Right that’s where the shoe drops for me as well, the newest/nicest car I ever bought still had 60k km on it, and was reasonably priced (<20k€).

I can’t really see myself buying anything more expensive than that, my other car is a 2003 small utility vehicle I use for my work I got for 2000€…

Feels like it’ll still be a while before you can get this kind of second hand value deals with electrics.

Regarding the recent hack / Liittyen viimeaikaiseen hakkerointiin

During the last few days several Lemmy instances such as Lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone have come victims of hacking. This hacking happened by exploiting an XSS vulnerability enabled by custom emojis set by an instance. This way the admins’ cookies could be captured. A good recap of the incident has been made here....

I was wondering why I couldn’t upvote this post, saw it was saying I wasn’t logged in, and let me tell you the relogging/logging out process in liftoff could use some work, in the end I had to delete the account from the app and re-add it.

PS: are custom emoji really necessary anyway?

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

I liked emoji in slack in the work context as a way to convey quick acknowledgement/info but on certain social media they tend to get abused or just end up being an eyesore with little informational value. But that’s just my opinion, I can see how it would be cool to have the instance logo as one though.

I believe it comes from French.

“Fenêtre” in French. And “defenestré/defenestration” is the direct translation. Looks to me like another word nicked from the French by the “perfides albions”.

We do it all the time here in our neighbourhood. Outdoor cats are very popular around here so there are a LOT of cats going around. We know and recognize a number of them, we see where their territories more or less start and end, and some of the little rascals even come into our garden. Some will come up to us easily, others less so.

Il ne faut pas oublier que les compagnies classiques engendrent toutes sortes de dépenses que Lemmy n’aura jamais (les salaires mirobolants des CEOs et autres exécutifs, directeurs, etc, les Devs, les admins, etc, les budgets marketing, et bien sûr l’erreur fatale de Reddit de commencer a hoster les vidéos en interne).

Un autre commentaire a posté les blogs de .World avec leur finances, c’est certains des plus gros serveurs et on parle encore juste de quelques centaines d’euros mensuels.

So now we’ve narrowed it down to the UK. Making progress.

Rhythm game Steam Deck recommendation (lemmy.world)

If you enjoy rhythm games, Melatonin is worth looking into. It’s like Rhythm Heaven but with a lo-fi, mellow feel. What makes me want to recommend it here specifically is that the game has a custom display setting calibrated for the Steam Deck’s screen which I thought was really cool!...

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

Looks really good thanks for the recommendation.

But it says “taoka chemicals company, Osaka, Japan”

Obi,

I’m past that hump as well. I was “protesting” and spreading the word through June on there, but when RiF stopped I stopped visiting the site except as a result of Google searches for specific things.

I don’t even really care what happens now over there, I’ll feel a bit of Schadenfreude the day I hear they’re going under but I don’t care to follow the day to day of what’s happening.

It’s also not going to be a quick process, it’s been going down the drain for years already and it’ll be many more years before it’s “dead”.

I’m just glad I found a new place to call home.

@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

I knew this was the right instance. Thank you for the extensive write up. I’m gonna stick around :)

I mean just having someone that has good real world UX skills (as in, good UX for normies) to redesign join.lemmy would probably already solve 90% of it.

I think account transfers is another thing what would help alleviate the pressure from choosing an instance.

Obi,

Probably through the GitHub would be my guess.

Sources for FLAC Music

Hi! I wanted to start to hoard my favorite tracks in the best possible quality. A lot of stuff is available through Deezer or Tidal i know, but what sources are you guys using when FLACs for particular albums or songs cannot be found on Deezer or Tidal? I wanted to get the Rock n Roll Train song from ACDC in FLAC, but Tidal...

@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

I didn’t know about it until a few days ago somehow (I’m kinda getting back into sailing at the moment after a long break), and I can confirm it’s great and easy to get into. Has loads of flac too even if I prefer to stick to 320kbps MP3.
