  • Thanks for the tip, I’ll check them out.

  • Hum… this was one of the original reasons I signed up with them. I totally missed them dropping support. I’m not mad about it because I don’t torrent much anymore, but it’s still a pretty lame excuse.

    I want all my services supporting maximum fuckery at all times as a matter of general principle.

    Any alternatives that you know of?

  • Yeah. Although they were honestly long past their prime, and I wasn’t using them anymore so it’s hard to be upset.

    They could even be set in RSTP mode before they dropped support from the app, so they could still be useful.

  • They just killed my nest cameras, but the thermostat is still supported. I was planning on replacing it with an ecobee this year just because API access is kind of a pain but this is giving me some second thoughts.

  • Honestly the best summary I’ve read so far and I actually downloaded the PDF 😬

  • I’m still not entirely convinced people don’t join just so they can be dicks with impunity and collect a top tier salary/benefits package… I know there are good people too, but it’s hard to believe in the system as a whole lately.

    But simply blaming capitalism is shortsighted. Which isn’t what you said, but I feel it’s worth stating. Incomplete theories lead to imperfect solutions and policing in this country is in desperate need of reforms.

  • Cops do not mentally and physically scar teenagers because they are evil[…]

    Strongly disagree.

  • I’m really loving this journey for them 🥰

  • “The stuff they use to for sterilizing operating room… yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s okay mother.”

  • So your contention is that because Congress our most learned body of intellectuals… fuck it, I’m not in the mood tonight.

  • I think they were victims of their own success weren’t they? Gawker was already kind of a tech-tabloid, happy to report rumors (which were often true or at least truth adjacent).

    That kinda made them popular with both hardboiled techies who wanted to know when my shit was going to come rolling down, and regular folks who just wanted some good gossip… maybe wanted to touch our feet or whatever ;-)

    With that success and the capital investment it garnered Gawker bought up all the good tech news sites.

    Unable to produce meaningful content for that many sites on the limited budget their investors demanded Gawker invented the listical. And humanity wept —and kept clicking for some damn reason 🤨

    Many years passed and the listical was clearly dying, so Gawker sought out a real zinger to boost their profile… I’m a bit hazy on the details, but it sounds like Peter Teal fucked them up the ass with Hulk Hogan‘s penis. 

    At least that’s how I remember it ;-)

  • Take a deep breath and tell us how you really feel ;-)

    I got here a bit late and it seemed like there was some decent discussion going on. Practical advice on how to lock various phones.

    Some high quality pasta about how to survive the coming civil war ;-) Honestly good advice for anyone considering civil unrest there.

    It’s small, but what’s really missing here? Someone dragging up the constitution? Being forced to incriminate yourself is wrong and any evidence gleaned should be inadmissible. Cops shouldn’t manipulate people into giving up their rights… but that’s the country we live in.

    Reddit was a wash in low effort feel good upvote nonsense too. It just got buried faster.

    To each his own but until I have time to post a bunch of high quality content, I’m not going to complain so bitterly.

  • Ya know… I hadn’t see anything by them in so long I forgot.

  • Oh I’ve built a few over the last 10 years. There’s a lot to be said for what DJI has accomplished over that time. I doubt it would cost me less that 10K to make something that has all the features they offer in a $2K package. And it would take months for a prototype.

  • What’s your point?

    There’s a handful of valid notions in there, but they apply to the vast majority of apps people download.

    It’s a choice. You could get the same technology from an American company for… 50-80K if you’re lucky and will to roll up your sleeves and learn some sophisticated GIS software (not included).

    Or you could get the DJI for… let’s call it 6K including a nice laptop and let the evil orientials know the layout of your hazlenut orchard. Oh nooooos! Spooky scary!

    The Uyghur thing is a problem for me. And I would need to understand that better before I buy something. If it’s a case of the Chinese government asking DJI to provide surveillance tech, I’m not sure that’s a request they can deny. If it’s DJI using slave/forced labor, fuckem.

  • The article pretty plainly says the guy was coerced into entering his password. So the headline feels a bit manipulative.

  • You can turn off the 911 “feature.” Don’t ask me how I know 😅

  • Thanks for explaining this… something about it being kind of democratic (?) makes it more amusing than irritating.

    Lemmy still feels thin compared to the colossal poop-chute that was Reddit.

    Knowing that the spurt of new furry porn in my all feed, is the result some new Lemmite fast-fingering the subscribe button is kind of delightful :-)
