@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh my god! 😱 Is yhwre no such thing as Ad-free media anymore?! Fuck 🤬 Even paid streaming services now include ads wtf?! 🤦♂️
@shreyan@twtxt.net I may possibly be doing so as I think it may change the way I do computing. As long as the full screen zoom and accessibility all work the way I expect, I think it’ll help keep in working for many years to come without breaking my back/neck/ribs 🤞
@shreyan@twtxt.net That was really the icon of the Macintosh? Got a smaller version of that so I can recognize it? 🤔
GS2U RECON DT190 Digital Night Vision Monocular with photo and video modes - Kit Bag Perth 👈 Looks nice, but I can’t find any reviews of this anywhere 🤔
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sadly most people either don’t have the time or the willingness to learn 😢
I think Mobirise is still arguably one of the best offline-first, static website builders I’ve ever tried, I haven’t paid for all the fancy extensions/themes it has, but it is pretty good IMO 👌
@mckinley@twtxt.net Well, one of the most basic requirements (this is for a local cafe for some good friends of ours that own/run this cafe) is placing an order for a coffee and paying. I found through this reddit article that you can use this service called Snipcart which is only HTML+JS that you can embed/use on any website, including (by the looks) a static site (no backend required!) This is pretty promising already because all the cafe really needs now is a basic (albeit swank looking) landing page with an “roder” form.
@mckinley@twtxt.net Your notes match my own experiences and frustrations 👌
@mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks I’ll have a read! I’m sort of disappointed this space is so fucking hard and complicated 🤯 The worst part for me is watching those around me run a small business and use Squarespace or Wix to drive their websites! 😱 Both Squarespace and Wix are vendor locked-in SaaS platforms where you really have no control over your content nor do you really own it 🤦♂️
Can anyone recommend a website builder for dummies? Something my wife could use or anyone not in IT? Something that you can easily export and publish as a static site anywhere? 🤔 I guess it has to be easy to use, WYSIWIG in nature and having some 3rd-party integrations might be nice like Squire for taking payments, etc.
My preferred choice is Iridium

@adi@twtxt.net Congrats! 🥳
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh my god! 😱 I think I’m going to have to stop using Google Chrome if this isn’t an opt-in feature 🤦♂️
@mckinley@twtxt.net My only response to this;
nobody knows how to write web pages anymore 🤣
Fuck’n zs ftw 🙌
@thecanine@twtxt.net Ahh good idea!
@mckinley@twtxt.net Would it though? 🤔
@darren@twtxt.net I could not agree more! We lowly humans of society, have our asses thrown in jail for illegally copying/stealing/sharing copyrighted material of all kinds, but OpenAI l, Microsoft, Google and other companies are allowed to pillage/steal as much copyrighted works as they want to train their models on and reproduce new derivative works on and even sell and profit from it, without even so much as a fucking consequence 🤦♂️
Never used RsiserFS, but man, the dude really shouldn’t have killed his wife. What an idiot.
I am so literally fucking sick of this AI / OpenAI / CoPilot shit™. I took a very strong moral and ethical stance many years ago, Why I no longer trust Github for the exact same reasons Actors and Musicians are now suring AI companies. Why is this shit™ so fucking hard? Pay the content authors! Training on the hard work and contents of others is stealing.
@darren@twtxt.net Thanks!
@xuu@txt.sour.is Nice!
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Oh that’s on me, and yes I use Cat6e everywhere in my house 🤣
@xuu@txt.sour.is It partially makes it in, but sadly Ethernet hand off 🤣
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Here’s hoping 🤞
@johanbove@johanbove.info liquid black gold 🤣
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I guess that means Summer is nearing an end here then 🥵
Update on my Fibre to the Premise upgrade (FTTP). NBN installer came out last week to install the NTD and Utility box, after some umming and arring, we figured out the best place to install it. However this mean he wasn’t able to look it up to the Fibre in the pit, and required a 2nd team to come up and trench a new trench and conduit and use that to feed Fibre from the pit to the utility box.
I rang up my ISP to find out when this 2nd team was booked, only to discover to my horror and the horror of my ISP that this was booked a month out on the 2rd Feb 2024! 😱
After a nice small note from my provider to NBN, suddenly I get a phone call and message from an NBN team that do trenching to say it would be done on Saturday (today). That got completed today (despite the heavy rain).
Now all that’s left is a final NBN tech to come and hook the two fibre pieces together and “light it up”! 🥳
What Hollywood/Disney/etc have never seemed to understand about this DRM nonsense if, if you sell me a movie DRM-free, I actually have no interest in sharing this with anyone. It would live on my server, and go nowhere else.
Well see… 🤔
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh wow!
@xuu@txt.sour.is Do we need to translate colon emojis to their actual Unicode character? 🤔🤔
@iolfree Gimme a few hours and I’ll join you 🍻
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Yeah it’s called finger printing 🤦♂️
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Holy crap! 🤯😱
@xuu@txt.sour.is Err I meant multi devices 🤣
@jason@jasonsanta.xyz Thank you 😅
@xuu@txt.sour.is Did we ever get lily devisw working ? 🤔
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh I see. Money too good to pass up eh? 🤔 Fuck me 🤦♂️
@mckinley@twtxt.net I’m not even sure what this means? 🤔
Looking forward to my Fibre to the Premise (FttP) upgrade this Monday 🤞

@bender@twtxt.net spam account by the looks 🤣
@shreyan@twtxt.net The R1 or their so-called LAM?
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Pretty cool 👌
@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no You should also give this a try: Ollama
@movq@www.uninformativ.de my best ever moon shot
I had MS-DOS 5.x I think, Norton Commander, QBasic, Masm, Tubro Pascal and a few other things 🤔
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah it was pretty awesome 👌 I remember hacking on it like it was yesterday 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de No don’t recall the model sorry 😢 Nut it had a 10MB internal hard disk, 640kB of RAM, 3.5” floppy drive, monochrome display and a full keyboard 😆
That much I do remember 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de My first machine was an XT Laptop but my father had a 286 Desktop years before that I played around with when I was quite young. My friends had a Commodore 64
@eapl.me@eapl.me That’s pretty interesting 🤔
