In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.
These products - Googles convenience products as well as the Social Media shite - were introduced gradually at the time. The single steps people took towards using these products seemed innocuous. Before you know it, your whole life is enmeshed in a privacy nightmare and the convenience and quality you were used to is gone. It’s like buying an apartment in a nice place of town and then within the next two decades the area turns into a shady ghetto slum.
Am I still welcome here? Ever since my finger joints started giving out during my translation work I have started to improve my workplace. I have a self built mouseboard to do all clicking with my toes, and plan to improve that thing soon. Future plans include building more plushy button boards as I feel the hard surfaces aren't...
First ever pics inserted into Lemmy, hope that works. Behold, the redneck mouseboard. Has a height adapter to work from sofa or desk, because the only ergo that really works well for me is changing my position often. The keys on my board are made to be super light, because the only version I found at the time had really heavy keys and it was awful. I slaughtered a cheap mouse and 3D-printed the thingies that hold the mouse-buttons and scroll wheel in place. Scroll wheel has stopped working unfortunately (tiny plastic wheel shaft broke). But the keys work great. I have assigned the middle one to do certain things in my translation workflow, but would like more keys. Which in my current very limited understanding means “add more mice”. But there might be more elegant ways, maybe you good people could help.
I keep feeling frustrated as valuable knowledge for my different hobbies over the last years became siloed away in corporate social media. I believe wikis could be a way out, but can we have decentralized, federated wiki software that can kind of talk among each other?
This is what I mean. Lots of small wikis, like subreddits, like the old forums, only that a wiki setup seem to me a better way to collect and present knowledge than the forums, mailing lists, facebook groups, subreddits or wherever we used to put our stuff.
All you guys think fandom type wikis. I am thinking about practical knowledge. A wiki about donkey care can very well need a quick link to a wiki about medicinal plants, and wikis about adjacent practical topics, or think for example car tuners and motorbike tuners - they might like to have different wikis but will have lots of similar or equal topics. Wouldn't a federated wiki mean it can be better protected from attempts of centralized censorship?
Nooooo you must buy zillion separate device from company. Don’t forget a few adapters because obviously nothing is ever compatible. And every few years: let’s invent a ‘new’ thing and have everyone upgrade their devices!
I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

Don't have an ergo keyboard, but made a DIY ergo footboard

Do you think reddit will survive this?
Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?
How to create a decentralized kind of wiki?
