There is absolutely a Technology Connections about this.

NooooOOOOooo, it’s toooooOOOOooo powerful and it’s going to kill us aaaAAAaall.

No dogs were harmed in the making of this meme.

“I read it, but I’m not sure if I finished it.”

“Oh, you don’t recall whether you finished it or not?”

“I recall it perfectly.”

It would not be that hard. There just needs to be a way to federate the change.

1. Authenticate the new account. This could be as simple as an account admin code that is only available when logged in, or authenticated through the old server.

2. Scrape the old account for links and backlinks. Federate changes so that they link to the new account.

3. You might need a workaround for mentions and follows. Those would be spread across other users’ accounts, so probably not fixable.

4. Copy any content that was not already federated to the new host.

If devs wanted to, they would. They don’t want to. I guess you could ask them why.

Wow that’s a lot of Aphex Twin and Taylor Swift

No, it’s still creepy and dumb

I have a really dumb question, but what is a gem?

Jellyfin for shows and movies, Chora for Navidrome Music, and it works as a perfect little access to your homeserver.

I haven’t found an Android box that runs without Google services.

Kodi on a Pi is just meh at best imo.

I use ONN Android boxes. Fairly inexpensive, but I think it’s difficult to set up without a Google account (you can create a dummy account on the setup).

Side-loading is trivial. Some favorite apps: TizenTube to replace YouTube (or any of a dozen or so frontends), Projectivy launcher to replace the awful default. Add an always on VPN.

I agree but how does RCS actually work? My understanding is that it is particularly difficult to implement.

Open-source is a stretch. Open weights are more like blobs. They run and can be used openly, but it’s not as though you can build it yourself. No way to know how it was trained or if the training was manipulated by various interests.

Oh, that’s good to know!

I’ve been very happy with my JBL 130. Nothing fancy, but good sound, excellent noise canceling for the price. For me few earbuds are comfortable but these fit well for me.

Nice! FYI, Logitech mice have a known defect in the switches that results in double-registering clicks. It’s super annoying, they know about it, they have said they don’t plan to fix it.

Hopefully, cleaning does the trick, but in case it doesn’t it is not your fault.

Pleasantville looks like a cheap gag in the preview, but honestly one of my favorite movies.

Butterfly map? No? Don’t care.
