  • As I understand it, the protocol has the ability to decentralize built in. But the technical requirements are prohibitively high to the point only large businesses or corps could afford to do it. I also believe (someone correct me) the company hasn’t switched on the functionality yet.

  • Thanks for pointing me in the right direction(s). To summarize my request: I’d love to have a way to bundle multiple communities into a single section or feed in order to focus on a specific topic (and take breaks from… others). The obvious parallel from Reddit is a MultiReddit. For examples of how I use them:

    • Games: Just games and related topics. A nice place to indulge in a hobby
    • HappyPlace: No, not like that. These are cute pics and videos of animals, dogs, art and photography, a place to relax and remember the world can be good

    I see this as one of the most useful and even powerful features of a community-based system like Lemmy. Would love to have this option here

  • It isn’t complicated: they’re racists and bigots. Their leaders figured out it’s much easier to control people when you unify them against a group of Others. People aren’t born racist, but they are tribal. And it’s easy to twist that affinity for one’s own group into evil and profit.

  • I feel like this kind of misses the point. To be clear: If someone absolutely cannot avoid installing slop apps and enabling notifications for everything, I can see their need for an ultra minimal device or other solution. But I also think that speaks to a larger, personal discussion about discipline and possibly addiction, but that’s outside the realm of this thread.

    My point is we can choose which apps, notifications, features, and algorithms are allowed to get our attention. It’s easy to turn off all notifications or never even allow them in the first place—after all, apps have to ask for that permission in the first place.

    But the choice is the point. If someone is traveling somewhere they probably want maps to tell them important information about the journey. Otherwise why turn on directions at all? That’s the entire point.

    We even have the ability to disable all texting notifications but also choose to allow them from certain people if they’re important enough. These devices are simply tools and we have the power to choose how they operate. The device isn’t the problem, it’s our choices.

  • Pragmatically: It depends on the country’s laws for free speech and criticism, your location, and a country’s extradition relationship.

    Personally: Yes, we should all have the right to criticize our own and others’ governments. But we should also take the responsibility and initiative to get educated while doing so.

    Recommendations for a Hue app with colors and scenes for holidays

    Over the last thanksgiving day sale, we picked up a set of Hue’s outdoor string lights. We’re playing with leaving them up all year round and changing colors based on upcoming holidays.

    Anyone have a recommendation for a third-party app that can control Hue lights and has pre-built scenes for various holidays? I don’t mind making them myself, but I am quite disappointed at Hue’s built-in gallery; it is woefully lacking in holiday scenes.

    Refusal of the Call (new Strand glaive) is disappointing, barely a Strand glaive

    With the recent glaive buffs I've grown to really enjoy them (the slow reload hurt them for me). Previously I liked Vexcalibur due to its many perks, but that was it. Then Bungie caught my attention when it teased a Strand glaive for Act 2.

    However, if you look at its perk pool, it's barely a strand glaive - it only has a single Strand-related perk. Granted, not having Tear makes sense since glaives don't crit. But what about Hatchling or Slice?

    Missed opportunity in my book. What do y'all think?

    I really enjoy the new focusing systems and the Tome is a great evolution

    We can argue about which mechanics are tedious or have too many steps, but try to stay high-level with me for just a sec. The central draw, I feel, is that they allow us to just play the game and get the drops we want.

    We don’t have to stop what we’re doing, load into a vendor, run around in some cases to find them, then mindlessly click an engram button for a few minutes. You just set of Tome of Want ritual (or pop a Tonic), start playing, and the drops roll in.

    These systems are a great way to remove friction, making it easier and faster to chase the weapons we want. I liked tonics once I understood the system, although I get the complaint that they’re heavy-handed—too many pointless new ingredients to monitor and we still need to stop playing at least sometimes to go make more tonics (a process that is also clunky with too many steps).

    This is why I quite like the Tome as an evolution and simplification of this system: It only needs two ingredients that naturally drop while you p

    Possible to create custom collections of Lemmy communities?

    I'm diving into Lemmy, been on Masto since 2019. Also a big Reddit user trying to get away, and I hope to find a feature here that's an equivalent to MultiReddits (or 'Custom Reddits' as they seem to be called now).

    The idea is: A way to view a collection of specific Lemmy communities, probably around a theme like gaming, wholesome topics, or tech, etc. Sometimes I like to focus on a specific corner of the internet instead of the flood of everything I subscribe to. If you need examples, here is my personal gaming multireddit and my HappyPlace multireddit (no not like that).

    Is this possible with Lemmy? Thanks for any help.

    I want to try the forbidden iPad Magic Keyboard USB-C connection

    Someone in my Destiny community asked whether the USB-C port on the Magic Keyboard for iPad can pass data, or if it’s just for charging. I decided to look it up.

    Apple’s support document makes it clear that, unfortunately, the port only does power (check the ‘Charge your iPad’ section, pictured here). But then check the section I highlighted, emphasis mine:

    Never connect one end of a USB-C cable to the USB-C port on your iPad and the other end to the USB-C port on your Magic Keyboard

    Never!

    I need to know what happens! Is Apple hiding the secret to infinite power in broad daylight??
