thanks, this helps. so it really is mostly just a different view? if someone took, say, brutaldon or phanpy, and modified it to have a 'pictures only' or 'video only' toggle, that would go pretty far? CC: @occult@vox.ominous.net @anubis2814@friendica.myportal.social

can you help me understand what the difference is between 'an alternative to instagram' and 'a clone of instagram' because pixelfed is just an uninspired cheap knockoff, nothing there worth saving really, not sure why it was ever made. maybe some kid's "learn to program" project? it's not needed since you can just post pictures to a regular activitypub account... so what's missing? the UI? a specific phone program interface? I don't get it

presumably because it sucks this laptop has never worked right under any operating system. the entertainment comes from trying to guess which thing will break under which operating system, since it always changes CC: @kason@fe.disroot.org

put netbsd on the pinebook pro. boots, works, but video is extremely slow and after ten minutes or so the wifi system craps out with checksum errors on everything. might be time to put the pinebook pro into the trash can pro

people are not being mean enough to this developer or any of the people defending them also "The way we deliver a message can be more important than the words themselves" is a batshit insane claim; this how you interact with dogs, not people https://mastodon.social/@benpate/116960240110364955

important development: windshield
Post #3962244
this account is now a blog detailing the maintenance and repair activities surrounding my 1976 BMW R90/6 this weekend I put an LED headlight in and replaced the turn signal flasher relay. I also put in a new timing inspection plug. soon I will replace the turn signal bulbs with brighter LEDs and maybe install a windshield!

torvalds in his email makes the same bad-faith argument as a lot of other sloptimists when he says "fear of new tools," a construction designed to imply anyone who isn't pro-slop is some kind of weak coward. "fear" is not the emotion I and many others experience regarding large language models. the word you're looking for is "contempt." when you make this sort of argument, my contempt extends from your tools to your personality.
