Hard to imagine why people don't use Matrix more 🙄

as a "computers person" i do not know how to solve the problem correctly the first time, what i do have is an endless list of strange tactical maneuvers that might solve a problem and an ability to prioritise them

You know how when you go to the house of an absolute colossal nerd and you ask them

🐇 Hey, how do I watch Netflix?

🦝 Yeah no problem, well first you've gotta turn on the amp. That's the power button on this remote here. The right-hand power button that is, the left-hand one isn't programmed to anything yet

🐇 OK

🦝 Sometimes that makes the TV come on automatically, but if it doesn't then you've gotta turn on the TV. That's this button here on this other remote.

🐇 So we're on two remotes now

🦝 Nearly finished. Oh by the way, if you want to adjust the volume, use the first remote, the volume on the second remote doesn't do anything. Well it does, but it sounds terrible because that's the TV speakers, so leave that at zero

🐇 But I'm *watching* tv

🦝 Yes but you're *listening* to the amp. Oh, sorry, forgot, set the amp input to 2.

🐇 on the amp remote?

🦝 Yeah, the video goes through the amp too.

🐇 In my house we set the TV to a different input, should -

🦝 Don't do that here. Don't. The TV stays on input 1 with its sound muted. Next you've just gotta use this third remote, for the -

🐇 for Netflix?

🦝 Well, technically for Kodi, but that's nothing to worry about yet

🐇 yet?

🦝 We'll come to that,

🐇 I'm being *so* patient right now, I'm really proud of myself

Anyway, imagine that, but your your lightbulbs. This is what Home Assistant promises

the fediverse now has a fast growing TikTok alternative: https://loops.video

While it remains in a pre-release beta state atm, we are testing federation and will be releasing full federation support, along with the source code once stable.

And we expect by this time next month, you will have a bright, shiny and easy to install TikTok alternative under your tree 🎄

Spread the word. Loops has arrived.

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.

We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.

Oracle has until January 4th to respond, or the case will go into default, which will result in the trademark being canceled.

It's time to #FreeJavaScript.

I'm sorry.

Homeownership on the web is highly analogous to the physical world. Modern homeownership is mostly a story of home-rentership, not real ownership.

Incredibly, this matches the online experience, even though the World Wide Web has an infinite amount of real-estate!

You deserve a home on the web that’s built to keep you safe; a magical place for virtual living that‘s yours for life, existing in a sociable web.

Someone made a BBS that runs on Meshtastic.

Welp. Guess I know what I’m doing next.
