My plan is to get all the kids utterly hooked on it, then slowly indoctrinate show the truth path to my SO lmao. Resistance is futile.

It’s also called “How to get Dad to drop his household chores for the night” LMAO

Can’t wait for the Leola Root segment!!!

One word.

Ok maybe the flushing part is a bit overkill and mostly a joke, but a toilet that can deliver notifications like if it’s clogged for example before you use it and make it worse would have fantastic utility IMO

I mean, you could just use smarter stuff that’s open source and has local API, or do what I do and build your own devices where you can ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If there isn’t, I’ll be putting one executive in the pattern buffer an hour until it is

for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.

Haha yeah

Hides my car always pushing 10k miles

Actually @MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca if you want a quick and dirty option, I just used a windows tablet I had on hand and strapped it to the crib along with a USB webcam along with OBS studio with the RTSP server plugin

If you want night vision, make sure to pickup a webcam with IR

After that you can just open the stream with VLC, and VLC is available on all major platforms

How refreshingly honest, id like a ticket on @Skunk@jlai.lu airlines please

Eh that looks more like just a custom color palette, I’m thinking of something way deeper than that

I’d always think about how neat it’d be if there was a Lemmy frontend that did theming, then themed instances could take it even further, like an LCARS interface for startrek.website

I support any comm moving off .ml due to their ongoing behavior

Medium is proprietary and publicly traded so is on the enshitification train full speed ahead

Who said that? I did a search in the thread and no Ody said anything about that that I saw

Basically, slammed the source code door shut after making promissory statements like “Don’t worry, we’ll always be open source” for years. With little/no notice they relicensed everything and pivoted to a closed source paywall model.

No discussion with the community or contributors, no alternatives explored, no polls or surveys. Just woke up one day to a “Sorry, but we’re going closed source because moneyyyy” blog post

Jellyfin was born right after, forked out of vengeance.

In retrospect we should have seen it coming when they would do odd little things, like keeping the build scripts closed source n crap, but eh hindsight and all that lol

They’re not just closed source, they started as the open source project response to Plex. It was promised that they would be open source forever. They lied, slammed the source door shut a few years later and pivoted to a paywall.

There was no discussion with the community or contributors, no alternatives explored, no surveys or polls.

Just a “Sorry we’re going closed source” blog post, Jellyfin was forked from them in vengeance.

It’s very relevant, it directly speaks to how they’ll behave themselves closed where they can make crap decisions even easier.

Plex for all its issues, at least was upfront most who jumped on the Plex train did so with the knowledge that it might enshittify and honestly it’s not as bad as it could be

A bunch of us who started on the Emby train did so under the pretense that at worst we might have to deal with a paid subscription or support contract type of deal.

That was a lie, I was there 10 years ago when it went down, that’s when I pivoted to Plex full time (I had been running both for like a year at that point)

The first stop was when they went closed, they didn’t just go closed peacefully and Jellyfin didn’t fork off in a quiet way either

It was a complete betrayal, Emby made promises that they would remain open source forever. They broke that promise in a slow walked plan. It started with “Oh just some of the build scripts will be closed source, but don’t worry the rest of Emby will stay open!”

Until one day they slammed that door shut with a no notice relicensing and an “Oh sorry we’re going closed source because we just can’t make enough money”

There was no discussion with the community, no alternatives explored and it was mainly the arbitrary decision of a single person. It wasn’t even discussed with contributors.

Jellyfin was forked from Emby in vengeance, not some sort of planned fork like you’re making it seem
