“We no longer support inclusivity and science.”

Do you remember any source for Hitchens on that, like a book or speaking event? I’d enjoy hearing more about that specifically.

AlternativeTo is a great way to find free/open source software alternatives to whatever you’re currently using.

So cool to learn about these, thanks! I’ve tried and failed to self-host Nextcloud in the past, but really need to give it another go. Their contacts app is also something I’ve wanted for a while now.

This looks promising, thank you! I’m a novice self-hoster and look forward to learning more about this one.

For real. This one got me the best:

“We held a meeting and decided being radically open about gender while adopting a puritanical outlook on sex was the best way to shock Boomers to death.”

Those are cool, never seen or heard of them before in my part of the US. We use reusable kcups, so we put a filter and grounds in mesh/plastic shell. We like them because we can choose single servings of anything, like our local beans or herbal stuff like teeccino. But yeah Senseo pads look pretty great.

Good to hear! The Obsidian plugin has worked great for me so far. It really simplifies note taking.

Why is Pocket discontinuing Pocket for Mac?

We are creating a more consistent user experience across mobile and web, making it easier for you to discover, save and access your content on any device, at any time.

Incredible explanation. Btw, Omnivore is a great open source alternative with a macOS app for anyone needing to migrate somewhere.

> Meta using the term ‘open source’ for this is positively misleading: There is no source to be seen, the training data is entirely undocumented, and beyond the glossy charts the technical documentation is really rather poor. We do not know why Meta is so intent on getting everyone into this model, but the history of this company’s choices does not inspire confidence. Users beware.

Well put.

Was gonna say this too, it’s a great one for fact-checking. Sometimes it won’t include a source and make something up, just watch out for those.

Interaction among platforms is hard I think because they each operate with different actions and elements. But even within platforms can be buggy for me, or possibly I just stumble upon restricted access, not sure. But some profiles on mastodon instances will show zero or limited content, when I know there’s more there. For example I don’t see many toots from .ie on my .social account for some reason. And some Lemmy subs will show zero or limited posts when I search them in the same way. The good thing is that this stuff seems to be being worked on constantly with all of the attention it’s gotten recently.

Definitely time and learning curve. I’ve really wanted to self host some apps for 1–2 months now. Currently taking basic sql and python courses so that I can do the installations and databases correctly. App documentation is usually lacking and YT tutorials lead to more products and terms I’ve never heard of. There’s a big learning curve for non-programmers.
