One thing is that kbin/mbin/piefed/etc…etc… interact with lemmy all the time. Its getting a bit hazy if “lemmy” the platform is growing or if the entirety of the fediverse is growing and others are communicating with the software. We are now seeing quite a few accounts from all over the web interacting with lemmy communities. Is that a new “user” according to the stats? Or is that person a one off from mastodon?

What I a seeing is a general increase in discussion on the platform and increase in posts from all over the fediverse. Which is awesome!

yep peertube is great. Im partial to https://makertube.net/ or https://tilvids.com/ but theres a ton: https://joinpeertube.org/instances

2 in my local area. It’s how I found out about it. We have been slowly growing the community.

sure

I have a meshtastic script that runs once a day that sends a weather report for our local area at 6:00 am. It was based off a script that some awesome person did. I also have a script that once a week sends out ham/meshtastic events to all local people. Its worked out pretty well.

We have higher market share 4%+. Thats the biggest one for me. We were at 3% earlier in the year.

He does bug me in his coverage in “problems” he says linux has in other videos, but he does research quite a it. So better than most. Like I love my steamdeck and linux support…

I personally think that as long as our data has value to someone it will stay. Unfortunately(?) I think a vast majority of it will go the way of the void.

Space has cost.

Ironically that means platforms that cannot produce value from old messages will probably delete them. All these bytes are on storage media that probably wont last 10 years let alone 100+. Also never mind that the data itself will have to be on a media that other systems can use…so the html of today may not be used in 50 years or so, so reduces its value further. “Value” is subjective, but for most commercial platforms, its literally the amount of $$ they can get for the data. As soon as the data reaches 0$, it gets deleted. And as things get older and people die, these messages/data/etc… get lost, deleted, corrupted, or incompatible with the technology of the day.

But short term, everyone is pulling our data because it has a VERY high value. So dont say anything on the internet you would not want your parents finding out :)

Whats the best phone one can buy for postmarketos?

Yep its one of the bigger issues. I wanted to get a uconsole, but ive heard the support is not the greatest. And the wait times are horrendous for the hardware.

I like the form factor, but seeing the issues with supply on hackberrypi and uconsole, im hoping they dont have the same issue. Lots of people like that form factor (including myself).

Sometimes a small python script that is readable is better for long term support.

She does a great job. Im trying to add in a couple of her videos when I see them into the different communities. I usually go to awk to be honest, so I completely blanked on columns. I knew it existed from like 10 years ago, but forgot what I can use it for. I learned something form this video :)

We need more entertaining Linux/open source people.

I do like how it “looks” the most on topics. I wish mastodon had something similar revolving around their posts/hashtags.

I got everything but the image support working without any real effort. Just pip install toot.

toot! https://github.com/ihabunek/toot

Use it all the time in the terminal. Plus its a great name.

Jerboa on android. Its excellent.

Fedilab for mastodon on the phone.

Peertube for android. The new app is pretty good, just wish it had logging in and looking at my subscriptions.

Phanpy for mastodon on my laptop. Great mastodon browser.

w3m / Links2 for everything else of course.

The cell phone apps are a lot better nowadays. They look a lot better.

I’ve been posting more fedi content instead of just the popular links.

It’s an interesting dynamic!

I find myself talking more on lemmy as others say because it’s easier/made for talking about topics. Mastodon and other fedi services center around following the account that made a thing rather than the thing(s) themselves. And that’s fine, both have their place.

I like the ability to actually see everything from an API standpoint. Reddit is also overwhelmingly negative, and im looking for a place to discuss with people willing to actually do something other than complain.

Woo!

Puppy is pretty neat.
