The reason why I can’t recommend YouTube music is that it uses audio from videos instead of playing the studio versions of the tracks. The fact that it makes me listen to those silly audio parts in music videos while I’m trying to listen to a studio release is terrible in my opinion, and I couldn’t figure out a way to hide those results from search entirely. Does anybody know if they’ve fixed this?

A fellow alt texter!!! The blind community appreciates you. (I’m not blind, just an ally)

I just posted about this today in another thread. The ability for AI to be able to describe photos for people who are visually impaired is a total game changer. Most visually impaired people rely on people posting AltText or photo descriptions to become involved, but as most of us already know, most people don’t think twice about it, including myself. I’m definitely trying to be better.

Valve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn’t happened by this point, I don’t see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.

I personally do not care what people think or tell me about handwriting. I do not enjoy writing things out by hand, I much prefer typing. So that is what I do. Simple as that.

I personally use DigitalOcean and find it to be quite user friendly.

They use what they call “Droplets” to create a VPS. You can have multiple at once and it only charges you for the time you use it, and you can delete add more at any time. They’ll just bill you at the end of the month for the usage.

What’s nice is that it also has a marketplace, so if you want to spin up a Docker Ubuntu server, or a vanilla Debian server, you can do that with one click.

The auto scrolling bug was fixed in the latest version of Lemmy. If you’re instance isn’t on 0.18.0, talk to your admin about upgrading.

New and top day are my picks as well for sure. New is for when I’m feeling social and want to dive right into fresh conversations, while Top Day is great for checking out what went on and allows me to pick up converstaions that have already formed.

I definitely recommend not sticking to one, but pick 2 or 3 to switch between, depending on your mood. This way the new posts get bigger and the big posts stay active. We’re all in this together, let’s keep lemmy living!

Mfw self reporter doesn’t realized they self reported

Self hosted 4 lyfe! Happy to answer questions and get a server started up for you if interested.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Give it time. People who are joining lemmy/kbin for the first time are incredibly interested in disussing this particular topic. I think by the end of July, we’ll truly start to see this community take shape.

I feel like this is how it will realistically happen though. People will flock to one instance and use that one community, otherwise it becomes too stagnated.

The best thing about federation is that if that hugely popular community’s instance were to crash/go down, the community can just join another one. Sure it might take some coordination, but why not have one central place to hang out until it gets shitty?

Imagine youre at your favorite bar. They get new owners and then all their prices change. But hey guess what, you can make an exact copy of the same bar on a different instance! “Hey guys, lets all go to this new bar thats literally the same thing across the street!” and then everybody is happy.

I saw this coming from a mile away. Sad, but no longer necessary.
