I’m surprised that if they are building without permits or permission, on cali land, that cali hasent started issuing demo orders for the unauthorized builds. If it’s as clear as the article seems to be making that, Sable is intentionally avoiding the correct process hoping that the courts will side with their alternative mindset.

I was meaning filling every slot but that works too!

are you sure it’s not blackout? lmao

I was curious but good old auto suggest scared me away. It’s concerning when Hestia exploits is one of the suggestions, so I looked into it and saw a few hits. I didn’t investigate them though, I stopped looking then.

Fully agree, but also after an event the extent that CEO did, that’s going to be held over their head for years to come. The easiest way to get it out of the air is stopping the constant engagement that’s encouraging it. Mastodon was a pretty large source of that.

Fully Agree.

Mastodon, Lemmy and the likes are all enthusiast platforms in my eyes. Their primary userbase of the more savvy folk who are early adopters. I also believe it’s why many don’t fully get how complicated the fediverse really is to comprehend. To many the hurtles are just costs of being in the field/having a tech passion, hopefully it will be adopted but like, I still think the UI and general behavior and mechanics of it will be a fairly big roadblock.

IOS has had native RCS since they launched IOS 18 back in like August/September-ish, I haven’t had much issue with support from IOS to Android RCS side, but I’m not sure what my family in Florida use for their iphones, I expect older models might struggle. I have however had issues with communicating with my mom, but I believe it’s because she doesn’t understand that when she has RCS enabled, and she turns off data, it wants to try using RCS, then fails, and then falls-back to SMS, which for some reason Samsung Messages struggles with.

Personally speaking though, my S20 hasen’t had any issues with RCS period, its always been other devices not actually sending proceeding to error and then the person not noticing it so therefore not retrying

Whatsapp isn’t really a thing in my area but man is Facebook messenger is, but yeah nice that you were able, I didn’t have much luck with my relatives to switch over to signal or Discord back when it took off, they just sort of stayed on Facebook.

My online friend group had a higher adoption rate for discord from skype at first but, that might just be because I refused to give them my phone number so they couldn’t access me elsewhere.

Really the only group that I had really have an interest in other alternatives, was my cybersecurity class in college, but even they tended to straight towards Discord more than signal (which is insane to me)

Yeah I believe that, the people I have on my signal are generally ones that are worried that the cops are going to track them or something. I fully agree that privacy is important, unfortunately my family and the general public care is significantly less

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with everything you’ve said here.

SMS and MMS are an antique technology, I can’t argue that. But it’s not going to change the fact that my family is not going to install another messaging app on their device in order to talk to me. They’re going to text me or call me anyway so therefore there’s no point, and hopefully with the improvements on the RCS standard the issues that have occurred with SMS and MMS will go away.

As is I have four different messaging apps on my phone ignoring my messages app, signal (which I can count on one hand the amount of my friends that have an account), Discord which the majority of my online friends are on, and less than a handful of my relatives are on. Telegram which I mostly have for artists, and Revolt which I really should uninstall but like I really want that project to go somewhere.

My family is almost exclusively on Facebook messenger, I do not use Facebook Messenger, sms/rcs is the only system that my relatives and I both have, and they’re not about to install another app, to talk to one person which would be me.

So yes I fully agree with everything you’ve stated there, 100%. But it’s a perfect example of how on paper it sounds amazing but in practice it doesn’t work. At the end of the day my family is going to text me regardless if I tell them that I’m on Signal, because I’m not on Facebook and they already have SMS on their phone

Indeed it is, that is such a weird block

This right here, the everyday person doesn’t know what federation is let alone believes that it’s an alternative to federated platforms. They see it as a better Twitter that’s not run by Musk and honestly that’s all they need to know.

I’ve never understood why people just can’t send messages through text. Like why do they need a special app in order to do it.

I don’t use Facebook myself and my family members just started texting me and honestly it’s so much easier

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely think that signal is more secure. I just don’t understand why people just install another app in order to communicate with their family, just let them know you’re available through text

edit: I want to clarify that I may not have been clear/missed saying in this post, I’m not saying people shouldn’t(if people would change I would love it), I’m saying I don’t understand why people do knowing that your family members aren’t going to care and are just going to text you anyway as has been my experience

Just chiming in, this is not recommended for proxmox

The documentation (FAQ 13) actually directly says that docker should be installed as a QEMU VM on proxmox and that it should not be installed on the Proxmox VE Host

the amount of software I’ve used that lacks this type of system is aggravating. How hard is it to keep an object of property names, and if the name isn’t in it then it errors.

this can be continued into command line as well. if flag -z doesn’t exist, you shouldn’t allow me to run a command with it. It’s clear I am trying to do something (incorrectly) thinking -z is something it isn’t, just error it and tell me that.

Because it’s universal, it works, it’s multi-platform, device agnostic and it’s simple to use user side.

Nothing else available really fits that criteria.

The closest in todays age is probally discord or teams, but neither of which are decentralized. XMPP could work for it, but nobody really uses it anymore and to be honest the standard is ugly as hell to implement.

Browser Notifications are ineffective and have a high probability of failing or not being seen, they are more meant for real-time notices not historical notices not to mention locked to that browser.

App notifications would be amazing for things with apps, but not everyone wants to be forced into using their mobile device for everything, and it would again only be available from said app(unless you do use something like NTFY), which would generally be locked down to a device

Email sucks admin side, but there’s a reason its used.

This is also ignoring the multi-use case that email allows for such as authentication as well, so if its already being stored for accounts, might as well use it for notifications

hard agree, I hate browser notifications with a hard passion, I would never see them if they swapped to that.

my only complaint about it is the lack of clear “hey this is going to be a major update” on the webUI. I did the update command and was met with a different UI. Which wasn’t difficult to figure out, and I have to blame myself for not actually checking the patch notes first, but I wasn’t expecting a major update from the webUI as it only said “new version available run this command to upgrade”

the upgrade as a whole is all and all a great improvement

that could be true, if I didn’t double check the sources. If that is how you would be doing it then sure, but I use it as a guideline not a rule, and check for facts after.

There’s nothing wrong with using something as a blueprint/template. Seeing a strong lean in credibility or positioning tells me that I should be more serious on fact checking on it as there will be bias.

I’ve recently setup an recipe archival project using tandoor, I’m working on converting all my grandparents fading old as dust cooking recipes from their misc handwritten cursive notecards to digital.

Setup was uneventful but it took a little research to figure out how to use a remote postgres server, turns out the app doesn’t give an error when it can’t connect to the server, it just fails to run

Have to say the actual program itself is absolutely absurd and how they choose their permissions, it breaks all conventional and took quite a bit to get used to.
