Technology@lemmy.world•AI is making me paranoid about contributionsEnglish
2·1 day agoI wish meshtastic did any of that. Its more like a worse pager. Fun hobby to get into but its not all that great at reliable packets.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI is making me paranoid about contributionsEnglish
3·1 day agoI have some friends that are thinking of investing into some HiLow systems and making our own intranet. Or a meshnet. Seems like a fun project.
And no random bot scans, no agencies, no nothing but our own sites.
Windows has better accessability features than linux does. Itsn ot talked about much but ive been in meetings with people with disabilities, survivors of accidents, etc… and Windows is the only real option. If you are blind there are standard programs that they use.
Its the one area i think linux could use real work. A couple of places ive put in pull requests to help out from time to time.
Otherwise linux is generally better ;)

Programming@programming.dev•Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?English
5·3 days agoYep the thing is to learn at least one, then its VERY easy to jump into another (usually). The simple things such as loops, functions, classes, etc…etc… are all about the same nowadays. Its more about what you are trying to do rather than the language you find yourself using.
If I had to do it again, I would try out either python (for a on computer solution), javascript for web stuff, or C/C++ if you want to go crazy and learn low level stuff. Go/Rust is fine too. Any language is ok really. Just try it out and see what you like!

Fediverse@lemmy.world•An honest discussion in the current state of the FediverseEnglish
2·3 days agoPlus almost everyone developing the platforms we are using is doing it for negative money. Like a LOT of negative money. And its not really all that many people. We think they are huge teams but a literal handful are keeping a lot of the fedi up and running.
They are doing it out of a passion.
…or hate for other platforms? Hate can be a great motivator.

1·3 days agoYou can get some of those interop in Mbin and piefed. Lemmy just takes a while to develop. You can already see Mastodon threads in Mbin. But I see your point, the overall protocol implementation is ALL over the place. Its very hard to keep up with what supports what.
It is evolving when you get on the beading edge. Its usually the even smaller stuff like snac2/piefed/mbin/gotosocial etc… its all over the place.
Honestly what I want is the ability for mastodon to act like an RSS feed instead of one big wall. Have each individual as a separate feed. Because my current gotosocial/mastodon is flooded with people that post 30+ times a day somehow drowning out people that post 1/2 times a blue moon. Im working on something that may do the job in the future, but the code is VERY raw so it may never see release.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•This community isn't your personal adviserEnglish
3·4 days agoI wonder if someone is trying out an AI or something and seeing the results. Then deleting. More evidence will pop up eventually.

22·4 days agoIt sticks around in other software just FYI. Maybe lemmy should have something that admins can do? Maybe something super admins can re-instate if a mod states should be un-deleted? I dunno.

9·5 days agoI was in the medical insurance industry for a number of years. Its such a cold calculation. glad I am out. Also glad im in an area where all this is covered if God forbid I get it.
If one finds themselves in that situation: you can get life insurance and cash out if you get Cancer. “accelerated death benefit”
