I thought Misskey and its forks already supported quote posts?

I think I’ve bought from 7digital a time or two in the past and had no problems. Obviously there are issues with Amazon as a company, but I think they were the first big name to offer DRM-free MP3 purchases and I used it a lot back when it first launched, especially since they offered a selection of albums each month for just $5. They should have most mainstream music available for purchase, depending on which country you’re in. According to this Wikipedia page listing music stores they only offer 256 kbps MP3 but I was sure most if not all were upgraded to 320 kbps now, although of course you would have to re-download anything if you had downloaded the lower-quality version previously. That Wikipedia page is a good link to other stores as well, with a number I’d never heard of including specialty stores.

Also, along with someone else’s comment mentioning ripping CDs like the old days, check to see if you have a local record store. It’s been a mantra since at least the Gen-X days to “support your local scene.” I know in Raleigh the longtime staple Schoolkids Records is still alive and kicking, although their Chapel Hill store closed last year. It might take some digging but it can be worth seeing if there’s a local store in your area.

Self-hosting there are some ways to fight back, or depending on your opinions on Cloudflare it seems they’re fairly effective at blocking the AI crawlers.

There’s actually a surprising amount of free static website hosting out there. Besides GitHub, GitLab, Cloudflare, and Netlify come to mind offhand.

Just stick a Mac mini in the case and call it a day!

I was about to hit send on this, then looked it up and realized you could actually stick one in the 5.25” bays, although it would take two of the standard “half height” bays—or at least some extra height in the case—because it would be too tall by less than half an inch. I would not be surprised if someone has already done this.

Phone projection for navigation has been significantly better than any built-in navigation on any car I’ve ever driven. The vehicle screens are typically larger than a phone screen so that’s a really nice feature to me.

I’ve realized recently that seemingly the only time I’ve ever been locked in, at least professionally, has been broadcasting. Put me in a control room, get that countdown going and that red light on and I am locked in. Too bad those schedules don’t work well with a family. Also, both times I was directing regularly I started developing ulcers.

Two major leads gone in the same year. I hope that doesn’t mean the project falters. Really need to start donating so that there’s support for my M3 before Apple eventually drops support for it.

I honestly can’t remember if I took my meds this morning. I think I did, but I’m not sure. Can’t take them again just in case because if I take too much my heart goes zoooooom

I’ve known about Linux since the late ’90s; I haven’t been around any significant concentration of people talking about it and how to use it until I joined Lemmy.

I’ve only seen that kind of keyboard for iPhone; what model is this?

I don’t know how practical it would be to expand the cabinet, but if you can extend it into the empty space there are companies that make hinged units that can rotate back into an empty space like that, then pull all the way out for relatively easy access. Maybe store some less-used pots and pans in there.

It looks like you’ve missed Aria for Misskey, which was updated as recently as yesterday

Unironically I like that

I also find it interesting that the Steam Deck OLED has a smaller battery but gets longer life on the same OS

If you’re okay with writing a little HTML and just don’t want to deal with writing/designing the CSS, I recently found out about HTML5 UP, which has a bunch of Creative Commons Attribution 3.0-licensed templates. It’s fairly straightforward to modify the content if you understand the HTML, and then you can host it for free as a static page at any number of places like GitHub Pages or Cloudflare Pages.

If you don’t want to have the CC-By attribution on the webpage, the designer also offers a service called Pixelarity with the same templates and more for a $19/quarter non-renewing subscription. You can continue using the templates even after the subscription expires and can keep making new sites with any template you already downloaded, you just don’t get any updates or tech support when the subscription expires. Upload to one of those free static hosts and it’s dramatically cheaper than Ghost or WordPress, and probably less work than a static site generator for something that’s not changing often.

Maybe the kind of people/organizations who do karma farming on Reddit haven’t figured out that’s meaningless here

It’s a sketch about a real incident.

What’s the deal with Linux and Nvidia? Do the official drivers suck, or is it people not wanting to use a closed source driver but not having good open source drivers? I might have access to a good gaming PC soon but it has an Nvidia card.

I liked this read when considering legal ramifications for hosting content. It is U.S. focused so it might not be applicable to someone in another country.
