"You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it"

It's been years since I've played ME, but this scene will never not give me chills...

pienix,

Also, they make it sound like the problem is the 3rd party app users will have to pay. That's not the issue. Probably most of those users would be happy to pay some monthly fee to keep their app running. It's how much they are charging for the API that is the problem, and the lack of time to actually implement it.

That and the abhorrent behavior of the reddit team, the last weeks.

pienix,

I see accepting that is part of 'tolerating tipping culture'. Indeed, the system as it is now would not realistically allow for tipping to be obliterated. But just saying "it doesn't work, for this and that reason..." and then continuing the status quo, will not change anything.

You've seen what happens in France when the workers are unhappy. What America needs, first and foremost, is powerfull unions, make the minimal wage reflect a decent living wage at least, make the waiters wage an acceptable wage, and then abolish tipping. Accepting the status quo is tolerating it.

Raspberry Pi alternatives for headless self hosted applications

Since rpis have been almost impossible to find, I've been looking around for alternatives for some local self hosted services like home assistant. A lot of boards seem to talk about GPU, GPIO pins, etc. But I really just want a single board, fanless (low power), decent CPU and RAM, ethernet....

pienix,

Still feeling the effects of the Chip Shortage of 2020-2022. They are still making a lot of pi's, but they have a huge backlog to work away. Large contracts get priority over distributors, unfortunately, so they are very hard to find.

https://rpilocator.com/ scrapes the web and displays available stock. Managed to get a rpi4 8GB a couple of weeks ago.

pienix,

Usernames are unique in the sense that the full user name includes the server the user belongs to. e.g. your full user name is @gonzo0815. If somebody would make a gonzo0815 at lemmy.world, it would be @gonzo0815,world.

It's true that you don't immediately see that in the threaded view, but it is easily checked (hovering over username) if issues would arise.

pienix,

Am I correct in saying that the goal of kbin is to be able to communicate with all these services? I have my kbin.social account, do I need a separate account for Bookwyrm, or can I somehow connect them all?

Or is it that all these services are built on the same platform, so they can potentially communicate, but it's up to the server if they do?

pienix,

I had (have) a Mastodon account, but I didn't put in the time and effort to understand the fediverse, so it's just been sitting there. Now, with kbin and lemmy I see the potential and I'm off to explore!

I also like the fact that 'fediverse' is pronounced very similar to 'Faits Divers'. Litterally 'miscellaneous facts', but is used for smaller news items, anecdotes, tidbits of information, ... which seems very appropriate.
