AltCeption!

Was introduced to Merlin a few weeks ago on a scout nature course, and I love it so much!

I’m using it a sort of real-life pokémon game, trying to grow my list of found birds (Life List). So far I’m up to 36! 😍

I realize this is a FOSS channel, but I’m going to play devil’s advocate and suggest Eagle.

I have some 40K assets, mostly JPGs and PNGs, and apart from Obsidian, Eagle is the best piece of software I’ve found in the last 5 years, maybe longer, and I absolutely adore it.

It’s not free, but it’s pay-once, fairly cheap, and the upcoming version has an API and huge focus on community developed plugins.

The current version supports a huge amount of file types, including 3D. I’m not completely sure about audio, but I’d be kinda surprised if Eagle didn’t support audio.

Iirc the pirate bay guys made something like that, but only in the browser, and only for very few websites. It gives the content a like button. Periodically it then distributes money over all your likes from a preset pool of cash.

So, micro payments? 🤔

(wink wink)

Maybe Sublinks could be(come) that new platform you guys have been searching for, re: Beehaw thinking about leaving Lemmy? 🤔

I just hope it will be compatible with the available Lemmy apps (Voyager in particular) 😓

Edit: Or PieFed I guess 😊

That sounds like a great solution 😃 Good luck with the writing!

That’s not a half bad idea! 😮

How do you prop up the phone? 🤔

Very cool! 😳

I think it might be a bit beyond both my skill-set and available tools 😅

I think I liked the thought of having one more than I would have enjoyed actually having one 😅

That sounds like a pretty cool setup! It’s nice when there’s still good use cases for old hardware 😊

Wow, this takes me back to the days of Eee PCs and dreams of having a tiny, ultra portable laptop 😍

I went down the rabbit hole 😬 This 10.5" CHUWI MiniBook X looks pretty darned tempting!

I could run a minimalistic Fedora distro on it, have it in my jacket pocket. I’d use it mainly as an Obsidian interface. Shame it doesn’t have a SIM slot 😓

Maybe something to consider when my ASUS C302 Chromebook Fedorabook (fuck you very much for the EOL, Google!) eventually bites the dust 🤔

Thank you! It’s going to be hard to change my mind on that one, but I’ll give it a go 😊👍

Thank you for the clarification! I’ve clearly misunderstood the function of the crypto and/or read a poor description of Nostr 👌

In this case, the crypto (in itself still an unpalatable, energy wasting pyramid scheme, IMO) makes a lot more sense, and doesn’t detract from the platform (other than facilitating the platform’s tacit promotion of crypto).

I tried reading up on Nostr the other day, and came away finding it unpalatable, mainly because my understanding was that upvotes are tied to crypto.

The way I read it, you need some sort of crypto currency to pay for upvoting a post, from which I inferred that the only reasonable gauge for a posts popularity (upvotes) was intrinsically tied to money (and crypto-money, at that).

Is this a reasonable assessment, or did I misunderstand something?

EDIT: I was wrong, and stand corrected 👍

Touché 👍

Honestly haven’t heard of this happening in Europe before, but also haven’t done any research before now, and I don’t read a lot of news.

Seems it’s a surprisingly (for me, at least) big thing in the UK, but until recently was more associated with gang violence, with young men being the main victims, as opposed to the more classic “man has precious ‘honor’ and feelings hurt by woman, manly and honorable man scars woman for life so everyone can see how honorable he is”-scenario.

Worldwide, 80% of victims are still female.

It’s worth noting that, according to these statistics, the second and third European countries on the list, France and Italy, have a combined 14 attacks, which is less than the 20 in USA.

If only the economic rift between the indigent and the insanely wealthy Americans wasn’t so great, you’d all be able to afford guns, and not have to resort to these disgusting “European” tactics 😓

Maybe we should start a GoFundMe campaign? If it works for paying for healthcare, maybe it will work for getting everyone a gun?

I fail to see how this is news. A complete tragedy, and as others have mentioned, the mother will blame herself for the rest of her life. Move along.

On top of that — is this really the type of sources we should be posting from? The stories I managed to see on the front page, before the gagging became too much, seemed to be equal parts Megan & Harry, Trump, and Caitlyn Jenner. Pure tabloid trash. They don’t deserve the traffic.

For the first time in quite a while, I’m sorely missing the ability to downvote.

Edit: Ahhh, here we go 🙄

I’m guessing we know where you work now, eh mate? Some lovely astroturfing 🤢👍

There’s so much waste everywhere, let alone in tech. Being able to both “recycle” old hardware, and find legitimate use for it, should be celebrated.

Now if only I knew what to do about my old phones … I’m pretty good at making them last, so my older ones are very old, and I can’t think of anything useful for them to do that whatever phone I currently have doesn’t do much better 🤔
