Did your contribution to said discussion include "Your piece of shit protocol slash windowing system doesn't even allow precise positioning of windows"? 😏

A device with eink-like display sounds perfect for the job, if the display would be responsive enough to be usable with regular GUIs we have today, I'm definitely getting myself one.

@santiago
Even things that would probably have to do in one way or the other if commercial or just more general public interest for it arises, but for people like me — who prefer mostly text content and who like to keep the content and the representation of it separate and have to use extensions, CSS hacks and reader mode to bring the web closer to it, Gemini is perfect!

@santiago
I'm browsing Gemini and hosting my capsule on machines that are way over a decade old! In fact, web is one of the few things making these machines obsolete, probably the primary one. If you cross the web out — there are still lots of uses for old computers.
And yes, we all know the limitations of Gemini, there are things that you would never be able to do with it.

With its slowly growing content I see an opportunity for #GeminiProtocol to become a standard to keep using old machines that otherwise would become e-waste.

Most of the web is painful to unusable today if you have a PC that’s one decade old or more. Yet the majority of actually useful information is still text with a few included documents or images. Gemini will always be useable on E-readers when we know the web content may sometimes be readable but mostly not.

Пока я не попал в Феди, я даже не представлял, что это может быть такой проблемой!
У меня буквально за недели отрастает так, что я становлюсь похожим на стереотипного бездомного из мемов.
Помню как-то несколько месяцев жил за городом и не брился — вот там такая борода была, что хоть птиц заводи — уже из мемов про марксистов 😂

Slashdot is among the few tech-related RSS feeds I'm subscribed to, together with The Register, Phoronix and a couple of personal blogs.
They are on Fedi too: mastodon.cloud/@slashdot
Not sure if that is official, but it looks like one, rather than some third-party bot.
And you're right about the rest, federation and self-hosting are our strength! 🦾

@Hyolobrika
It still resembles no-frills chatting app more than regular Element 🤭

So… it even allows you to draft the reply and only tells you that you have to register when you're done and are submitting it?
Fuck you, Slashdot! Fuck you! 🤬

I am available to mentor if you are interested in growing your social media followers to dozens and consistently getting 1-2 likes/post.

@StefanThinks
I'd say competition in this field of knowledge on Fediverse is pretty fierce 😂

@Hyolobrika
Aren't they airing these shows right on TV in Japan? It's possible that they have missed earlier episodes and want to watch them, but why would they be downloading them with English subtitles instead of raw rips? 🤔
And of course it's possible that it's someone speaking English, but using VPN exit node in Japan or even currently living in Japan, but not speaking Japanese — but both are rather narrow corner cases and that makes it weird.

Someone with Japanese IP address is downloading all episodes of still airing anime show from me via Bittorrent. At quite high speeds/rates!
This feels WEIRD 😱

But CPU and chipset makers are cunning — they will ramp up further on miniaturisation and will make all main boards the size of calculator in the coming years so wind would be running through most of the space inside your laptop 🤪
Well, not that I'm against it — you can always "fill the void" with bigger battery 🤔
I really liked how in old ThinkPads you could install an additional battery in place of optical drive.

> traditional folk is DEFINITELY not white people's music
Why not though? Isn't it just a subset of folklore — culture shared by a particular group of people, different groups of white people included? 🤔
BTW I doesn't seem to me that the message was that Lynyrd Skynyrd is indeed traditional folk music. The point of the joke was taking the idea that "tradition" isn't something established over centuries in this particular case to the extreme.

В Москве тоже дожди — и кошки ушли с балкона. Но хотя бы им не так жарко как на прошлой неделе — а то вообще помирали: приходилось подменять дождь и мочить их самостоятельно 😹

@slashdot
Do they intend to ruin Windows 10 with "features" too, so switching to 11 would stop being such a horrible idea? 😂

@ivanhead
Насколько достоверна информация в той части, что касается котят? 😸
