There is a fediverse version of YouTube already called PeerTube. But people are finding it’s incredibly expensive to host video streaming servers and is a large part why it hasn’t really taken off.

I didn’t think I’d watch the whole video but wow, the level of incompetence was just unrivaled. Komchatka was captained by Mr. Bean confirmed.

and he was a fair bit of a regular.

That’s the wildest part to me. You’d think if you’re into that kind of stuff you’d learn to repair your own equipment that hosts some of the most illegal content one could possess.

Somewhere I have a picture of it saved, but as a Sys Admin for an office one person had so much dead skin piled on their mouse I gagged. It formed the shape of their fingers on the buttons and the dead skin was, not exaggerating, like 4-5 millimeters thick of caked-on yellow disgustingness. Mind you, we provide new mice for people to use in the office for any reason, they just need to let us know and ask. There was no reason for this other than the person just being a Nurgle initiate or some shit. People are gross.

are these editors orangutans?

The Librarian would be much more meticulous tyvm.

It was just another link aggregation site like Reddit, you didn’t miss too much tbh

The ones I looked at in the store near me did! That was a few months ago when I was shopping for a new carrier.

I agree. I wasn’t implying he deserved to have his plan dropped. Only commenting on the use of the drone tech for inspecting people’s properties. I should’ve clarified I was not defending the insurance company’s decision to cancel his plan.

Thanks for the additional info! I’ll definitely be keeping this in mind when I’m finally forced to switch off the 4a.

You see that Radicalized@lemmy.one?? I’ve got options!

I’d love to keep the clean OS experience of the Pixel but I may have to go with Sony on my next phone. This one should last for another two or three years though.

Hey buddy, T-Mobile has modern network compatible flip phones. You think I won’t go back?! I’ll go back!!

I agree with everything you said. I do hope if they see all the lukewarm/negative feedback and decide to rebrand again that they stick with the fish theme and icon. It’s cute and I like that all the microblog platforms have animals associated with them. Bird, Elephant, and now Fish. Elephant and Fish can be friends, Bird can fuck off.

Does anyone know if current Pixel/Samsung hardwarewill support this??

It doesn’t seem like they’ve said one way or the other (unless I missed something). It would be nice if it did but if I’m being honest I’m guessing no. If only new phones will have it then it will push more people to continue their yearly/bi-yearly upgrade cycle.

I refuse to “upgrade” until they put the aux port back. Still rocking my 4a 5G, it’s great AND has an aux port tyvm.

The entire Dreamcast catalog. Specifically Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone 2, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure 2, Berserk: Gut’s Rage, Spawn: In the Demons Hand, Phantasy Star Online, and so many more great ones.

Exactly, the only subreddit I still visit is for my local city/metroplex and even then I’ve set it up as an RSS feed so I don’t need to actually go to Reddit. Once enough neighbors are here that RSS feed will be getting cut most likely though. Or until Reddit shuts down the RSS feature.

Oh I agree, I don’t think he should’ve been dropped especially since they’re not showing the photos they took meaning it’s likely not that bad. I was more so just referring to the use of drone tech for this type of inspection. I think that’s fine, as long as they’re giving proper notification like what’s required with human inspectors.

Absolutely agree, I don’t think they should be able to pull out like they did here. I could possibly see it if it was an extreme case of hoarding with an open flame and tons of flammable material or something like that, but there’s nothing to suggest that’s the case so the insurance company is in the wrong still. I was more referring to the use of the drone tech itself since this is the tech community.

Yeah, when Digg did the dumb thing all those years ago Reddit didn’t start eclipsing it for another two or three years. This feels very similar to that time tbh. Lemmy will get there, but I imagine it’ll take longer due to its fragmented nature scaring some non-techies so I’d guess four years and we’ll see numbers to rival Reddit. If you care about that, I kind of like the smaller communities, honestly.

Too bad there’s not a RemindMe Bot on Lemmy yet, this would be perfect for that lol

I get it, my sister got bugs in her home before from a hoarder neighbor and I’ve known somebody who had to move due to a fire caused by a different hoarder so I understand why they’d want/need to do this. But I feel like this falls under the inspection notification laws, at least my state has it where they need to inform you 24 hours before any inspection. So they should’ve sent out a notification 24 hours before flying the drone over and it would’ve been fine IMO. I’m not saying this guy was a hoarder either though, the insurance company wouldn’t release their photos so we can’t say if that’s actually the case one way or the other. But I’m fine with them using drones tbh.

I’m not sure why this three-year-old post is showing up now, but uh, if there are subreddits you still want to use after migrating to Lemmy you can set them up as an RSS feed. It’s so much better and you don’t give their site additional engagement or clicks. You can even click the article link from your RSS reader without ever having to go to Reddit. The only subreddit I still use is for my local metroplex/city, since there’s not enough of my neighbors on the Fediverse yet. But now I can see every post as it comes in so I can keep up to date with what’s going on with where I live and find out about deals and sales.

You just take the URL for the subreddit and add “.rss” to the end and that’s it.
