YouTube is currently running what it describes as a "small experiment globally," warning users to toggle off their ad blockers and avoid being limited to only three video views.
This might be an unpopular opinion but I wouldn't trust my security on a free piece of software running on an raspberry pi. You would be best using a regular off the shelf alarm system, I'm sure you can still get ones that aren't Internet enabled
In my experience, any open source camera software is unreliable and clunky. To be honest though, a lot of cloud solutions seem quite bad too. What I'm talking about though is an old fashioned alarm system that has no Internet capability and just has a pin pad, a backup battery and a siren.
Since coming to lemmy I will browse all vs local and top by day. There is a solid amount of AI generated porn that has many votes in a 24 hour period....
Voat was born out of several questionable subs being banned from reddit so naturally the userbase was into very questionable things. That's why they failed so hard
Everything needs to generate some sort of value - I imagine a lemmy instance would generate value for you in the form of learning, or maybe the sense of accomplishment from maintaining a community. That differs from how centralised social media generates value in the form of data or money which is usually at odds with the userbase.
True, but the amount of instances will probably scale too. You can have premium instances that cost a monthly fee, ones that solicit donations, maybe ones that run ads. But you'll also always have the passion project instances being ran for a specific community out of the kindness of someone's heart.
Mostly the title, but it would be nice to have more options now that Reddit and Twitter have alternatives. I would love to see a YouTube and ticktock version. Maybe even an instagram as well.
I'm of the opinion that a YouTube alternative is genuinely impossible without it being a subscription service. There's not enough money in the amount of advertising people will tolerate in order to successfully run a video streaming site at scale.
Their entire repair programme is designed to be as obtuse as possible whilst still allowing them to say they offer repair. It's like the kid in school that spends so much time cheating on an exam that they could've just studied
A Labour government would not only lift the de facto ban on onshore wind farms in England but also force councils to “proactively identify” areas suitable for renewable generation, leader Sir Keir Starmer has announced....
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
I subconsciously felt that this "lemmy.world" instance was for those with at least a smidgeon of programming knowledge. Otherwise the name just seems odd.

I don't think a corporate instance is necessarily a bad thing. The purpose of federation is to give consumers choice, and if the right choice for some people is an instance managed by a corporation and the corporation makes enough money to keep it going then it's a win win, right?
I'm just trying to understand. Erdogan in Turkey, Putin in Russia, Orban in Hungary etc... Why do these leaders still get so much support after all they've done?...

House security system - any recommendations?
Hey all....
Am I the only one who finds AI generated porn odd

Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?
I don't remember what caused the Voat's origin, except it involved Reddit HQ. And then it went under in 2020....
So how does lemmy make money?
I'm not seeing any ads, and these servers certainly have a cost.... So is this place entirely donation based, or what?
Is there/will there be a Federated version of most social media?

Does anyone else think lemmy.world is a reference to "hello world" and programming?

Why do some people still have hope for Reddit?
