This whole âdata commodityâ has gone too far.
@mckinley@twtxt.net Well yes, true, but not my primary point. Microsoft really needs to pull their head out of their ass. Toyota, BMW, Samsung and even Apple to some extent. Companies need to understand a basic economic rule: If a customer buys your product X, they really donât expect to have to pay for (useless) service Y in order to use product X. Iâm looking at you BMW and Toyota, both have attempted to do this and somewhat failed at a consumer level. I wonder why đ¤Śââď¸
Now Microsoft?! Câmon. For fuckâs sake. If I buy a new âtodayâ computer of some kind. I expect to be able to use it âofflineâ if I want. Iâm not going to be forced into paying for a subscription or handing over all my personal information to some stupid tech company that has no business whatsoever treating me as âtheir productâ.
@mckinley@twtxt.net LOL Nice đ
@prologic@twtxt.net Only if you stick with legacy operating systems
Cutting edge server monitoring from McKinley Labs: Detect when the heavy compute task on my server is done and play a sound on my laptop
ssh server 'while true; do test $(</proc/loadavg cut -d . -f 1) -lt 10 && break; sleep 10; done' && qmpv sound.opus
If this goes ahead, it will really give new meaning to âPC ownershipâ đ¤Ź
Like none whatsoever đ¤Śââď¸
lack the words in any of the languages I know to describe the utter disdain I have for this.
How about âfuck off Microsoftâ 𤣠Or even âget the fuck outâđ¤Ł
wall
this morning as we were both on the same server investigating something... it's the best chat client haha
@hecanjog@hecanjog.com That is pretty cool đ
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Well, I see no issue with this personally đ
I ban all forms of social media in our household đ¤Ł
Adults and visitors included! đ¤Ł
@shreyan Good! đ
Looking forward to the extra long weekend coming up đ¤
How about the you?
Hello! How is everyone?
@prologic@twtxt.net yup, that is, sadly, whatâs happening. It is making the âdiscoverâ worthless for my (and @mckinley@twtxt.net) use case.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Itâs just a simple config file subscriptions.yaml
for me and the program run on a cron. This basically lets me subscribe to, download and keep in sync various channels Iâm interested in and store them wherever I want. The nice thing is the output format / presets are done in such a way as to support media servers like Plex or Jellyfin out-of-the-box.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I use ytdlp-sub
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Pretty cool tree house đ
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Do you really need to rely on RSS? You could just run a daily cron like I do?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very cool đ
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh boi, here we go đ
@bender Well to be precise, people form companies đ And companies are comprised of people đ¤Ł
@shreyan companies are people too. We should remember that.
@prologic@twtxt.net I hope it kills the company
It is an IPO. :-D I find more value in Reddit than Facebook. Granted, Meta is more than Facebook now a days. I am not buying any, but I wish them (Reddit Inc.), and their investors, well.
So what do we think of the Reddit IPO? đ¤
@bender These are not beinged pull via ActivityPub. I disabled the integration long ago myself on my pod. There is a Mastodon instance or two out there that serves up Twtxt feeds. Someone my pod has subscribed to those, I think thatâs whatâs happening hereâŚ
@prologic I donât know what the fix will be. Ideally, since it doesnât work for bidirectional communication, get rid of the Fediverse integration? Would that stop those posts from showing up?
