A couple of these are quite useful for me, thank you. I finally installed bat.

Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit will remove mods of private communities unless they reopenEnglish
3·3 years agoAt this point, I’m begging users and the mods. Use the correct communities. This is /c/Technology, not /c/LatestRedditDrama
This community is over-run by this drama, which has multiple communities dedicated to whatever the latest crap reddit is pulling. Please use one of those instead.

Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube could be testing a three-strikes policy for ad blockingEnglish
0·3 years agoThe vast majority of people that watch youtube, are most likely not using an ad block and won’t be affected by this at all. Just like the vast majority of reddit users use the official app, and the vast majority of people on twitter stayed.
It will take a lot more than this to make something else the next big thing. Just like lemmy is nowhere near as popular as reddit, mastadon is nowhere near as popular as twitter. Yes those of us technical enough or that care enough will use an ad block or similar, but we are in the minority, and always will be.

Technology@beehaw.org•It’s bots all the way down at kindle unlimitedEnglish
1·3 years agoFor me it’s fantasy. Stuff like Dungeon Crawler Carl, Joe Abercrombe or R A Salvatore etc… If you have a suggestion for an active community that’s not on discord I’d love to hear it.

Technology@beehaw.org•Anyone else frustrated by cross contamination from Youtube, Youtube Music and Youtube shorts?English
1·3 years agoI personally despise yotuube shorts. I use rules in my ublock origin to block them so I don’t see them on my youtube page.
Holy cow you’re right, sorry about that. That’ll teach me to read good.
Just a reminder that Wyze Bridge exists. It’s great for self hosting your wyze camera stream. It also works with Home AssistantWyze, Waze, Tomato, Tomahtoe
I read good.

Technology@beehaw.org•Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloudEnglish
6·3 years agoHow is this supposed to work in countries that have bandwidth caps, or slow internet connections?
It seems like every company these days wants to move everything to the cloud, but it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. While something like this makes sense in some instances (like kiosks or similar maybe?) for the vast majority of use cases this is a non-starter.

Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit makes it impossible to delete PII, refuses to do it itself violating GDPREnglish
3·3 years agoThank you for the link, I did the same on all of my accounts. I’ll be filing a complaint for each one
ifwhen they don’t comply.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Red Hat’s commitment to open source: A response to the git.centos.org changesEnglish
51·3 years agoThat’s a whole lot of “Woah is me, I’m so hard done by, praise me for everything I do and most importantly pay me scrubs.”

Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit says accessibility upgrades for moderators are coming to its mobile apps soon
8·3 years agoHey Mods, when are you going to rename this community to /c/TheLatestRedditNews as that’s all that seems to get posted here?
I mean it’s not like there aren’t literally DOZENS of communities dedicated to whatever the latest crap reddit is up to so it needs to keep clogging up this community.

Technology@beehaw.org•Users Have Had It With Reddit...But Are Powerless
2·3 years agoThat’s great, there are many places dedicated to just that topic! It doesn’t need to keep being posted here cluttering up actual news about actual tech items.
I don’t go to /c/cats and post about dogs. Or to /c/America and post about Europe. There is a place for everything. This community has been constantly clogged up with crap about reddit.

Technology@beehaw.org•Users Have Had It With Reddit...But Are PowerlessEnglish
1·3 years agoOh. Cool. Yet another reddit drama thread in /c/technology
When do we change the name of this community to /c/YetAnotherRedditDramaCommunity instead of /c/technology ?
it sent out about 700,000 kill messages to inform other instances that it had federated with that it was going offline for good, and to delete all record of it from their databases. Around 25% of these were returned undelivered because the instances had simply dropped offline.
It’s amusing that the person complaining about these instances “failing” linked to a site that itself has “failed” and is now “for sale”.
There are always “the sky is falling” posts by people that feel everything they are no longer in love or becomes slightly difficult with is “failing”. I don’t understand why these people always think others are going to care about their opinions on the subject at all. It makes me wonder if these people yell “I’M LEAVING” every time they exit a room.

Technology@beehaw.org•US might finally force cable-TV firms to advertise their actual prices - Ars Technica
11·3 years agoI’ll believe it when I see it. It seems like things like this come up all the time and never actually go anywhere.

Technology@beehaw.org•Kinda strange that people are so crazy about ChatGPT's abilities for bad
14·3 years agoA friend of mine uses it to re-type emails to sound more professional. He even got a couple of others to start doing it at his workplace. A few people have started to notice one particular employee has suddenly completely changed how he talks in emails. It’s very amusing, but it works extremely well for my friend.
He even pays the $20usd/m for the “premium” or whatever version. He’s a C-Suite at the company so it’s nothing to him to pay for the service. Other than instances like that, or simple coding (hey I need a quick bs landing page, or I need this added to whatever) it’s pretty overblown for how people seem to think it works.
Do we know the domains they are going to use for federation yet?
