I’m sure. But my raspberry pi 3 can barely run Hass without overheating. (had to remove adguard from the same device because that made it overheat a few times a week)

Maybe when I upgrade it to a proper home server, I’ll look into replacing my Google home speakers.

It’s easier to say “hey Google, turn off all lights” than go to Home Assistant and turn each off by hand.

It’ll slowly fizzle away, becoming more and more irrelevant.

btw tumblr isn’t dead either.

Yeah, I loved stumbling on random sites

You’re willing to pay more to get less?!

What’s your skin care routine?

What’s a reddit?

“thrives”, “inflates its userbase using instagram”.
Potato, potato.

Musk has fully entered the altright edgelord arena.

Meanwhile, Amazon does sell ads. Sponsored products are advertisements.

What was the inspiration for these internet standards?

That depends on the instance you’re on.

If you’re on mobile, try scrolling to the bottom of the page.

I don’t think I understand federation still. A lot of communities added to lemmy.world aren’t federated to other lemmy instances it seems. At least I can’t subscribe to them from my geddit.social account.

Victoria is still very much missed

It very much isn’t a hail Mary to generate money, they’d have bent over backwards if they’d wanted to keep big players like Apollo and RIF on board, if it had been a hail Mary. 20 million bucks a year is nothing to be sneezed at.

The fact that they left Apollo out to dry shows that it never was about making more revenue, but rather to stamp out competition for their own app. As soon as it has accessibility parity with other apps, it’ll turn off API access for unofficial reddit apps alltogether.

When I was still on Android I used to use Slide for Reddit and later Reddit Is Fun (RIF) as the official app was just full of ads and lacks so many customizability options, and later it started pushing content I wasn’t even subscribed to. (I kept an eye on it) also it showed ads in the interface, despite me having reddit gold or premium or whatever they called it.

Then 2 years ago I got a second hand iPhone to play with and found Apollo which, while not like RIF, was a great app to browse reddit with. Speedy, responsive, customizable, a great image viewer and video player and with Apollo Premium, no ads.

For multilingual people. Please be aware that wefwef will fail upon posting comments, if you have selected more than 1 language in your Lemmy profile. Wefwef comes back with the error message that you need to select a language in your Lemmy profile.

Go to wefwef.app in your browser. Now open the options menu of your browser (the three dots, if on Android, the square with the arrow pointing up, if on iOS) and find the option to put a bookmark on your home screen (in iOS it’s called “add to home screen”)

This will create a sandboxed version of wefwef.app, tap it and it should load like a normal app. (this is what Apple envisioned as apps way back when, before they realized that they could make money selling apps)

When the page has loaded, in the bottom middle, tap on “lemmy.world”, and log in to your Lemmy instance.

Enjoy.

One thing to be aware of. If you have selected more than one language in your Lemmy profile, wefwef fails to post comments because you need to select which language you typed in, and you can’t select that (yet?) in wefwef.
