It’s like we’re on a speed run toward the near-future Charlie Brooker warned us about.
But TBF, “Hang the DJ” was one of the few Black Mirror episodes that wasn’t a total downer.
I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

Not that, specifically, but I get annoyed when people post screenshots of videos that have the “play” icon on them. My dumbass clicks on those 9 times out of 10.
South Park: What Scientologists Actually Believe
Beyond that, it’s a cult / pyramid scheme.
Also, check out Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath documentary for a good insider’s perspective.
It’s not the documentary, but here’s Leah explaining the scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM-FrI5Hqto
Inside the chunky ControlBox housing is a Raspberry Pi 5 4GB with a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solid-state drive (SSD) for storage — allowing it to act as a Home Assistant server itself, rather than as a client device. For those with existing Home Assistant installations, DomeCtrl promises a variant that uses an Espressif ESP32-powered WT32-ETH01 running the ESPHome firmware.
Ah, okay. So if anyone’s wondering why it’s so overpowered, that’s why. I was thinking an ESP32 could have easily handled that, and so did they. The Pi-5 powered one is to act as a HA server itself.
I think they’re stating the opposite: that there are multiple posts about it in many, many communities.
Yeah, mostly. It’s a third party UI that you’d use in place of (or alongside) any other. Works on mobile (optionally as a PWA) and desktop.
Not sure if lemmy.ca runs it directly, but the hosted instance is unlocked so that it can connect to any Lemmy instance.
Sadly, Lemmy doesn’t provide crosspost information in the feed; the frontend has to detect those duplicates and roll them up itself.
Not sure if any other UIs do, but Tesseract will match crossposts on title as well as URL (the default UI only uses URL). I wrote that behavior in specifically for what you described; I was annoyed by seeing 3-4 duplicate posts to different communities all in a row.
It’s not perfect since the crosspost rollups only happen if the duplicates are fetched in the same batch, but it does help a lot.
Maybe I’m remembering early/beta Teams with rose tinted spectacles, but at the very least the silver lining was that I no longer needed to keep a separate Windows machine running just for work IM.
I even tried adding it to Citrix, but it refused to install on a server version of Windows.
We used to use it before switching to Google Workspace (don’t get me started on how much I hate that), and Teams wasn’t too bad. But it had two things going for it then:
Thanks! It’s definitely a labor of love sunk cost fallacy 😆
Well, I try to be fancy with it and use truncate
and ellipsis
where text shouldn’t overflow, so it’s a little less wro…
As a developer of a Lemmy UI that I want to look nice on mobile, I love character limits 😆

Taco Bell
Demolition Man
Both chili and vegetable soup.
Never cared for either growing up, but now they’re both comfort food, especially on cold days.
Are we talking about the same SNES?
SNES.
The NES was a box, and the SNES had lines.
Black Mirror didn’t do that one, but American Horror Stories did:

Which is surprising because that show normally kinda sucks. Got roped into watching it last year, and I forgot I was watching AHS halfway through and almost thought it was a new Black Mirror.
