Voyager works, although I don’t think it’s intended for Desktop use

Assuming you’re looking for Lemmy/Piefed clients, you might be able to install some of the front ends as PWAs. Photon and Blorp for example

Thank you!

@alam@lemmy.world is also on the threadiverse, and may post updates about this as it develops

Predictions

Showerthoughts

I had no idea Reddit invented having deep thoughts in the shower, or making predictions

🙄

Am I the Asshole?

Yea they can keep that one

So they could have held paint drying Mondays instead, with the same overall effect

“Every single Monday was called Paint Dry Monday” Vaughan said, with his mandate for staff that they could only watch paint dry. “You couldn’t have customer calls; you couldn’t work on budgets; you had to only watch paint dry.” He said this happened across the board, not just for tech workers, but also for sales, marketing, and everybody else at IgniteTech. “That culture needed to be built. That was the key.”

I always saw the rules against Wikipedia to be around citations (and accuracy in the early years), rather than it harming learning. It’s not that different from other tertiary sources like textbooks or encyclopedias. It’s good for learning a topic and the interacting pieces, but you need to then search for primary/secondary sources relevant to the topic you are writing about.

Generative AI however

• is a text prediction engine that often generates made up info, and then students learn things wrong
• does the writing for the students, so they don’t actually have to read or understand anything

Thanks! I was looking up Niiofetch but it kept giving me results for Neofetch lol

Neat! I’m somewhat familiar with homebrew but I haven’t kept up with it in years. I didn’t know you could put Linux on it too

I wonder how it would do as a media center for the living room. I’d much rather use a Wii remote to navigate on a TV instead of buttons.

Being able to play Jellyfin off of it somehow would be amazing, I imagine it will need a custom app. Possibly based off of this thing? https://www.wiimc.org/about/

Oh is that what it was 😄

There’s an account that I haven’t used in years, which gets a “Are you trying to log in?” email every few months.

I got 6 emails at once the other day, figured it was the same junk

Do you have a link to read more about what this is 😄

TIL, and also ☹️

That’s a good point @ImmyJ@lemmy.ca

lemmy.ca and piefed.ca are both compatible and run by the same organization :)

There are lots of good suggestions already. If you want to explore how the different threadiverse platforms display your posts, look into Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, and NodeBB.

kbin.social no longer exists but the project has continued as Mbin. For fediverse discussion communities you have !fediverse@lemmy.world (on Lemmy), !fediverse@piefed.social (on Piefed), !activitypub@community.nodebb.org (nodeBB)

I’m looking forward to seeing if it snaps onto the play button after opening some content, that’s the main issue I had on Android TV

There are emulators of a lot of old calculators online. Is this one yours?

I only used Stirling briefly before I learned about BentoPDF, so I don’t think I can give a fair comparison. I picked Bento because it felt faster and “simpler”, and I prefer not having to worry about accounts/upload/storage.

Other concerns with Stirling:

• their new license
• analytics in the past: https://www.xda-developers.com/replaced-stirling-pdf-with-this-self-hosted-pdf-toolkit/

Nice, and thanks for posting here! We have a lot of discussion about projects, and it’s helpful when the creator/developer is around to respond to comments directly 😄

I saw the update on GitHub about the goal of working on it full time. I also swapped over from StirlingPDF and I’m excited to see where this project goes. Best of luck :)

Relevant bit

The DMCA filing states that several files in the Rockchip MPP repository are derived from FFmpeg’s libavcodec sources. It lists AV1, H.265, and VP9 decoder files, and claims the copied code is clear because of matching structure, comments, and commented-out calls to FFmpeg functions with their original names.

Much of FFmpeg, including libavcodec, uses the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. This license allows reuse, but only if certain rules are followed. These rules include keeping copyright notices, giving proper credit, and ensuring any shared code remains under an LGPL-compatible license.

The DMCA notice says Rockchip broke these rules by removing the original copyright and author details, claiming the copied code as their own, and sharing it under the Apache license, which does not meet LGPL requirements here.

From the ones I’ve tried so far, csukuangfj/vits-piper-en_US-amy-medium|1 speaker sounded the most clear and natural for GPS / driving directions. If someone finds other good ones, I’d appreciate it :)
