Is there any way to get ad free without a subscription? I was happy to buy a paid version of the app before, but an ongoing subscription isn’t really what I want.

Edit: it is not advertised as much as Ultra, but there is a one off payment option to remove ads, in the sidebar. Which I purchased!

Lobstronomosity,

I wasn’t expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can’t sort by ‘hot’ anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven’t used it since the switch over and I don’t miss it.

Lobstronomosity,

This isn’t a meme

Lobstronomosity,

It's gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.

Lobstronomosity,

Depends on the city. In my city, you could walk across the whole thing in maybe an hour, and anything major the furthest you would have to walk is about 30 minutes.

Lobstronomosity,

Here it looks like the link is added when you make the comment, and the it is added directly to the formatting. I'm guessing you're using an app or some other client to access Lemmy? On reddit, it just recognises the "/r/" and places the link on the front end.

Lobstronomosity,

Remember when the Oculus first came out, and people said in a few years that VR would get cheaper? Those people didn't anticipate Apple.

Lobstronomosity,

I'm sure you know this, but getting progressively larger servers is not the only way, why not scale horizontally?

I say this as someone with next to no idea how Lemmy works.

Lobstronomosity,

Is it possible to make Lemmy (the system as a whole) able to be compatible with horizontally scaling instances? I don't see why an instance has to be confined to one server, and this would allow for very large instances that can scale to meet demand.

Edit: just seen your other comment https://lemmy.ml/comment/453391

Lobstronomosity,

Nice to see you here. Nice work on Jellyfin, it's a breath of fresh air compared to Plex.

Lobstronomosity,

As a planner, the solution to traffic issues is 15 minute cities. It's not "leftist", it doesn't impinge on anybody's "rights", it just makes everyone's lives simpler, cheaper and healthier. This is an idealistic view, however.

Lobstronomosity,

Mmm, dessert island.... drools

Lobstronomosity,

As @RagingNerdoholic says, create a distributed index of usernames, and do not allow the same username to be registered twice.

I'd also propose at the same time to create a Discord style username system to avoid potential clashes - if this system is going to become large (mainstream) then eventually available usernames will be hard to choose from.

Lobstronomosity,

Using a good programming language does not guarantee a good product. You have to give credit where it's due.

Lobstronomosity,

That does seem a useful feature.

I'm stuck in Teams / Microsoft's universe. I wonder how they will try and shoehorn Bing Chat into my work.

Lobstronomosity,

What do you think it adds to a keyboard (swiftkey)? The feature is there regardless whether we like it or not. The question is whether you think such a thing should be on the site, and in what form, not whether one user considers to be useful or not.

One thing that it could do is analyse your perceived tone, and suggest edits to come across less aggressive, or more inquisitive for example. Such a thing could well make certain social places a more pleasant forum to use.

Lobstronomosity,

Great idea, this is the sort of thing I was thinking of.

I find it strange how this post has become heavily downvoted, I guess some people would rather not think about it at all rather than consider the possibilities.

Lobstronomosity,

I didn't necessarily mean hard baked into ActivityPub, Lemmy or any particular instance. It could take many forms, some more prevalent and noticeable than others. In a lot of use cases, AI/ML software is quietly ticking away behind the scenes, and you would never know.

What sort of independent plugins do you think we might see? Would you welcome such options, or prefer to reject them?

Lobstronomosity,

I think the crux of the issue is that corporations are quick to throw around the term "AI" as it's a buzz word, and the lay person does not know what it means other than "smart-ish". I'd argue that there is no real AI in existence (yet).

Lobstronomosity,

I agree. I made a post earlier to promote discussion, and it was downvoted more than I expected because people did not agree with the question I guess?

I would still argue that if a post or comment provides useful discourse, it should be upvoted or at the very least, not downvoted.

Lobstronomosity,

Basically me whenever I try to use Linux on a permanent basis. What's that, you want to run a program at boot? You'll have to do it all in CLI and there's a pretty high chance you'll brick the OS. Oh, and don't make any spelling mistakes!

Lobstronomosity,

In this case, Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi. I was trying to set up a script that would connect to a network storage device automatically. There's not a simple way to do it, you have to go about it in a hacky way.

Lobstronomosity,

I just went to check out !mechanicalkeyboards but it's not very active. I'd like to see some new posts there.

(edit: how do you link to communities here?)

help me choose my next distro

I'm resetting windows 10 on my Thinkpad T580 for work but would like to create a partition for linux. It's an older laptop and really chugs through games like Minecraft or RuneScape but I enjoy playing relaxing games while I listen to audiobooks at night. I grew up using windows which is why I've mostly used Ubuntu and ZorinOS...

Lobstronomosity,

Can you explain what is meant by "stateless root"? I can't find a decent answer online.
