The Lemmy structure isn't really visible from Mastodon, and communities shows up as groups in Mastodon, but yeah you can see Lemmy's content on the Fediverse, same as on kbin :)

(Discussion) Would you pay for Reddit Premium IF it allowed you to continue using your favorite app?

I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn't want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked...

That was my initial suggestion and IMO the change wouldn't be the PR nightmare that it currently is. It would have been a fair middle ground: you don't make it financially devastating for the 3PA devs, the Premium users don't get ads so that would be fair that 3PA don't get shown ads through the API and Reddit gets financially compensated for it.

At this point I kinda lost faith in Reddit. I don't expect them to honor whatever they say, so I won't be subscribing anymore.

I felt the same, cancelling my subscription after 10 years on a 16 years account.

If you can't win, you simply shit on the rulebook and call it a victory.

It's Scumbag Steve Huffman's let them eat cake moment.

I have a case and a tempered glass protector. I like the case because it add some grip and my current phone doesn't do wireless charging so I have a small metal plate between the phone and the case to use a magnetic phone holder in the car. That way I don't have to glue it tonthe back of the phone and you don't see it.

I don't take the extended warranty because I buy my phone unlocked, and my credit card offers an extra year of warranty on top of the one from the manufacturer so I have two years of protection instead of one.

The only thing it lacks IMO are custom items types but it's on the roadmap.

At least the alternatives come with functional and decent mobile websites.

What irks me is when game developers ties the physics engine to the framerate. We all know this will cause issues down the road, could we just.. not?

Building a smart home in 2023, where to start?

Hey all, we're moving into a new place soon and I want to start making it a smart home. I have some experience with wifi-based smart bulbs from TP-Link Kasa and a ring camera, but that's about it. I need to update the switches in the house anyway, so I figure that's a good place to start....

IMO the way to go is to slowly transition, and avoid systems, hardware and softwares that depends on the cloud as much as possible. If you can, try to stick to one open standard and don't deviate unless you have absolutely no choice.

You should be able to disconnect the Internet and control everything locally on your home wireless network. If you can't, then you don't own it.

Sure, you can make some automation rely on some weather services (OpenWeatherMap), but you could go one step further and deploy your own weather station on your property (ie: attached to the shed, etc). That way even if the Internet goes out, you can still automate based on local data.

Kbin Roadmap 2023

A certain stage of development has ended - a prototype was created that allowed me to verify whether such a form makes sense in the #fediverse. Until now, it was a project that I developed in my free time. Now, thanks to the great people from Nlnet, I will be able to devote much more time to it. This time, we have already...
