TachiyomiSY devs have announced to work on a new "spiritual successor" of Tachiyomi (ani.social)

This message has been posted on their discord server yesterday, currently the app is being worked on and has no definitive ETA. We probably have to use other forks until that. I don’t know whether I can share the discord server’s link so not sharing that until a mod gives heads up.

Sort of off topic but I wish I had a kotatsu in my apartment. And an apartment big enough to have space for a kotatsu.

I see that kbin's reputation scoring has changed. That's good. Now you won't forever be negative rep for posting unpopular opinions.

I tried a lot, but Toot! is the best of the bunch.

RG35XX - This is amazing! (lemmy.world)

Just got this bad boy yesterday and I’m like a kid at Christmas! 😄 The delight I felt firing up my old love, Desert Strike… Goosebumps! Seriously impressed with this bit of kit, and I’m enjoying exploring the options as much as the many many games! The effort put in by the community with GarlicOS and the ROM packs is...

I got some bootleg Airpods from Temu that my iPhone recognizes and treats as Airpods. I call them my Airpuds. LOL. But, tbh, the audio quality is on par with my wife's actual Airpods. The construction isn't as solid and I wouldn't sweat on them much, but for 20 bucks, I'm happy with them.

I disagree with the use of "Christian Right" in the headline. This isn't really about religion. These positions have been GOP positions for a long time.

Affirmative action itself was racist by definition, because it discriminated solely based on skin color. It needed to go. There are problems with certain minorities making it into higher education, but that can be solved by changing how taxes are distributed to schools, not by letting unqualified people into college programs.

Student loan forgiveness was a joke from the start. If you didn't want to pay back the loans, you shouldn't have taken them. If the issue is the cost of higher education, then we should focus on passing legislation restricting the amount that can be charged for college tuition.

Regarding the cake issue, you can't compel speech, and last I checked, art was considered speech. So, decorating a cake in a specific way is speech that can't be compelled. This isn't 1850. There's more than one baker in town. If you don't like the policies of a particular bakery, go to the next one. The hyperbolic responses about "No Jews allowed" is ridiculous, because that would be religious discrimination, which is a separate issue. Also, it seems a little wild to accuse the Christian Right of not supporting Jews (Israel).

Artemis is supposed to support kbin and Lemmy. If it doesn't support Lemmy right away, then it wouldn't help to register on a Lemmy instance, because Artemis still wouldn't support Lemmy.

You're right that you can't sign into a Lemmy instance with your kbin credentials. Each site is it's own site. If something is posted on lemmy.world, it sends a notice to kbin.social and kbin.social fetches the info and publishes it locally on kbin as well. Comments on the kbin post are sent back to lemmy.world. There's basically a copy of the post and comments on every server. Not every server will "know" about every other server though, so content could push across the entire federated network slowly sometimes.

Are kbin or Lemmy posts being indexed by search engines? If the content was created, would anyone be able to find it?

To clarify, I meant posts on kbin/Lemmy, so that someone would land on kbin/Lemmy when searching for things, like people do now with Reddit.

I have a feeling that Meta getting involved in Federation is going to be the doorway for a lot more people to figuring this out.

Governments should just set up a single user ActivityPub instance to broadcast their updates.

I'm on kbin too. Kind of wish there was an iOS app. It seems like Lemmy is getting apps faster, but I like the way kbin looks and works more.

Pride Month wrapping up, have you seen any company or organisation do anything remotely meaningful?

So, I will make no secret that I'm rolling my eyes at all of that marketing stuff that goes up every year. But I've been thinking, it doesn't have to be so superficial and pointless. Maybe there's some rare exception out there that took the opportunity to say or do something meaningful....

What do you mean? I saw them all virtue signaling on social media. That had amazing impact. /s

Proton’s encrypted password manager is now available to everyone. - The Verge (www.theverge.com)

After rolling out its password manager to a limited number of users in April, Proton has finally released the service to the general public. The tool, called Proton Pass, uses end-to-end encryption to keep your usernames and passwords away from third parties, including Proton itself. It also lets you create and store randomly...

I really enjoy Proton VPN and the mail/calendar service has come a long way, but I've been using Bitwarden for years and they've never let me down. I'll try it out, but I'm not sure what they could improve on to make me want to switch.

What I want is a watch that looks just like old fashioned analog watches, does all of the fitness tracking you get from a modern Fitbit, and transmits it to my phone. I don't want a square watch or a digital display. I want classic beauty with tech under the hood.

mochi,
mochi avatar

Yeah? I kind of figure that's how it'd be for me. I like the idea of how the Apple Watch integrates with iPhone, but I don't like the way it looks.

I agree. The one upping and leaving phrases as a subsequent replies thing was so annoying. I hated it.

Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances

I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...

I do wish kbin looked a bit better on mobile, though. I have larger font on my iPhone and instead of wrapping, the text just goes off the screen and can't be viewed.

Lemmy devs aren't great people anyway, in terms of who you want to be developing software. Anyone that would think hardcoding word censorship into their software because it's theirs has a few screws loose, so I wouldn't put it past them to have done this intentionally.

mochi,
mochi avatar

I'm glad you think so. Please see the attached screenshot for an example of what I'm talking about. I'd like to have the text one size bigger so I can read it more easily, but then whole words are cut off or missing.

mochi,

What if they actually just want responses from people on Lemmy, though?

It's more fun to publicly comment on, mock, shame, and laugh about a bunch of idiots that died doing something stupid than reflect on the driving forces behind a boat with 700 people on it capsizing in the Mediterranean.

🤔 There's a note in the break room at work reminding people that the kitchen sink is for washing coffee mugs, and hands, and maybe pieces of fruit, but not for "personal hygiene," and I just want to know what incident happened that created the need for such a sign.

@mekkaokereke Maybe someone was offended that a person brushed their teeth there, though. You know people are weird AF and get offended by the most bizarre things.

@Andres4NY It is pretty cool. I never expected to see something like Reddit on the Fediverse.

And you have a good point about the ticketing. The NYPD loves to grab low hanging fruit.

My kid peed in the litterbox. So that's how my day is going.

@Andres4NY Not bad. I'm an adult and I've considered pooping in my cat's litter box when he's being an asshole, out of spite.

Walls would have been better than the travesty they're committing downtown on the East Side now. They just finished remodeling the park and it was beautiful, then they ripped it up and destroyed the old beautiful trees there to just add dirt and make it higher up.
