I finally got around to watching Sherlock for the first time and my suspension of disbelief shattered in the very first episode, where his Windows computer makes the Mac noise when an email comes in / is sent.

No way he would not notice that.

@davidbures I feel like Sherlock Holmes would have been a Debian user, had he been real and living in the 2020s.

Still need a name for this war crime report app

Any ideas?

Maybe I could push the code to git later today 💪

Web app im working on where you can report war crimes

@stux Three names spring to mind: WarWitness, Pax, and Sentinel. Feel free to combine these with other words.

@EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

@stux WarReport sounds good. Sorry I didn't suggest any names earlier today.

I understand that not many people like subscriptions, me included. However, to make the development of my apps sustainable at all, I had to opt for the subscription model

Now, I was thinking. If there was a one-time purchase option for getting Cork, that would cost like 30€ (not final price), and would let you keep receiving updates without a subscription, would you use that option? It would coexist with the current subscription model

EdanOsborne,
@EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

@davidbures I don't currently pay for any software, and I don't even have a Mac, but I would definitely feel more comfortable making a one-time purchase than buying a subscription.

@davidbures Yeah, I get it.

For your own safety: leave

It’s not worth putting your safety in risk over a social media platform

After the community rules crumbling away now also the few left over safe guards like a simple but needed ‘block’ feature is in danger because overlord Elon doesn’t thinks ‘it makes sense’ :nkoFacepalm2:

Again, he couldn’t be more wrong

Even with moderation on a social platform features like blocks and mutes need to remain in place for multiple reasons

Elon, you don’t make sense

Alright, Google domains are now dying. Where are you moving your domains? Cloudflare? WordPress Com? AWS? Namecheap? Something else? It must be reliable with hardware 2FA. Please comment below. TIA.

EdanOsborne,

@nixCraft My domains are managed by Neocities (my website), Flounder (my gemini capsule), and Ionos (@X_Industries' website). In the future, I'd like to move them to 1984 Hosting, which uses FreeDNS.

Anyway, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should one e-mail wokewatch@dailymail.co.uk to , or just plain take the piss. No, that would be WRONG. Oh, for shame!

It's just a project for me to better learn VueJS and Laravel for another project but I can always share it in the process :blobcathighfive:

The Fall of Stack Overflow: SO has lost around 50% of its traffic. This decline is similarly reflected in site usage, with approximately a 50% decrease in the number of Q&A, as well as the number of votes. The AI bots hit SO hard for sure, at least that is what I think. I still see SO as top answers in Google query but Bing is upto no good. LOL. https://observablehq.com/@ayhanfuat/the-fall-of-stack-overflow

@nixCraft About two years before the Reddit implosion, I left r/UnixPorn after one of the mods deleted most of my posts. Thankfully, r/BetterUnixPorn was there, and there's now also @unixporn on Lemmy.

I posted about switching to Firefox as my "daily driver" browser as a little tiny step away from Chromium browser hegemony, and I had a ton of people in the replies suggesting I should just use Brave or Edge or Opera or Vivaldi instead.

I'm a little concerned that people don't realize just how pervasive this problem is. Every single one of those sits on top of the Chromium codebase.

@patterfloof @00dani @starsider @silvereagle That's right. Electron is based on Blink. So that nice Atom editor you have? Chrome.

"Little did nixCraft know that the database was never properly set up. In fact, the server didn't even a single rack inside. Sat in amongst the various SATA and RJ45 cables within the casing was a small man, barely five feet tall and losing what was left of his white hair, wearing a pair of dusty half-moon glasses.

We have increased the limits on various actions you can do on here, such as post limits or poll option limits.

These limits were previously hard-coded into Mastodon, but since the move to glitch-soc, these were very easily extendible.

We've increased the following limits just now;

Display names, going from 30 characters, to 64.

Bio text, going from 500 characters, to 1024.

Bio fields, going from 4 fields, to 8.

Polls, going from 5 options, to 16.

Hello, and streamers of Fedi! Did you know there's a great way to get your videos/VODs more views on the Fediverse? It's pretty simple:

1️⃣ Create and set up an account on a instance (see http://joinpeertube.org)

2️⃣ Create a few PeerTube channels to collect your content

3️⃣ Set up a synchronization to sync each of your external channels to PeerTube (see attached image)

The best thing? Once it's done, people on /Fedi can follow you and comment on videos. 😎

EdanOsborne,
@EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

@dragfyre Already have an account on Spectra.video. It's a pretty nice instance, with some interesting channels. It takes about a day or two to get approval, but it's worth the wait.
