No. It’s explicitly anti-demon. I don’t like it, because I’m not the target market, but it’s fine. IMHO Hazbin Hotel is both much more offensive and much more dangerous. It twists pseudo-scriptural myths about Lilith and Lucifer into a pro-demon and pro-hell narrative. Even that would be fine if everyone realizes it’s just for fun. But it’s much closer to the line where these ideas can become part of the cultural understanding via osmosis, in the same way everyone thinks there were three wise men even though scripture doesn’t back this up in any way. But the kind of Christians who get offended by kpop demon hunters don’t care because the title isn’t shocking, so they let the things that are actually problems slip right past them without comment.

The problem is that most data about books (ISBNs, DDC and LOC classification, cover images, synopsis, etc) are owned by either Amazon or Worldcat. So if you read anything even slightly off beat, you’ll be entering all of that data yourself. That also means recommendations aren’t really a thing. If you just want to track and share your reading, and don’t mind entering all the data yourself, bookwyrm is fine. But if you want to just search for a book and add it to your shelf, or get recommendations of new books, it’s nowhere near there.

Any way to sync with contacts on mobile? I’d love one source of truth.

I’m currently enjoying The Art of Diploma-Bee: A Dungeon-Core LitRPG, The Bee Dungeon, Book 3 by Icalos on audible. I really enjoy his humour, and Savy Des-Etages is one of my favourite narrators of all time. If you’ve never read any litrpg, this could be a good series to introduce you to it.

If you want to get straight to the fun, I might recommend: https://cosmos-cloud.io/

It will handle all of the uninteresting stuff like docker, reverse proxies, ssl certificates, etc. You can get straight to adding apps either by pasting in a docker-compose, or getting them straight from the cosmos marketplace.

Also, it works with standard tools, so other than the reverse proxy, it’s easy to migrate away from if you want. I think the reverse proxy is just caddy, but I don’t know where the caddy config file goes or how to pull it out of the funky cosmos config format.

Or: maybe we can just keep paid influencer scams off the fediverse entirely? IMHO we don’t need or want paid content creators here. As soon as someone can make a buck from it, the entire network will be flooded with clickbait, AI generated posts, and worse.

Thanks, the Backwards compatibility is huge for us! We have a bunch of users who depend on mlem or thunder, so I was assuming I’d have to wait until updated versions of both of those apps was released to upgrade rblind.

Bonus third fix: If you notice that your pict-rs is using a lot of CPU or doing an unreasonable amount of IO, convert from using SLED (the default image repo) to using postgresql. The documentation for doing this is provided in the pict-rs crate.

The connection to the SMTP server is timing out. Are you sure the port and SSL config is correct?

These are the way. They usually come with a cable that splits from one USB A to four or more USB C. So you have a spot to charge them normally, but you can also give them a quick charge when you’re out and about with any random cable you have if you can’t find the splitter. And they charge much quicker than using a battery charger.

Same. Although sometimes I set up a public instance, because I’m setting one up for myself anyway, right? And then I have regrets LOL

If Lemmy got as big as Reddit, this would be an even larger problem. As a server admin, I’d like not to store several hundred gigs of text per day because someone subscribes to an active community. Unlike Reddit, Lemmy servers are not run by a company that can endlessly lose venture capitalists money.

Not OP, but I use miniflux on desktop, synced with Lire on IOS.

Born blind. I dream entirely in sound. People who went blind later in life, however, may still see in dreams.

For some reason I had Singapore in my head as being way larger like Japan or Korea.

How is this different from cosmos-cloud.io? The feature list looks identical.

Unfortunately, though, we don’t have the population of Singapore. While I would love this to work, I just don’t see merchants implementing yet another payment provider.

Right, but Canada is small enough that none of the large merchants are going to implement this, are they? Interac already has a payments API, and I’ve only ever encountered it used in the wild once.

How is this better than what already exist?

Sarcasm: Yup. The black people who were lynched should have just participated in local communities and confronted the KKK! That’ll fix everything!

Anyway, online isn’t the place to take up space and confront people. You do that in person. Online is where you come to get support, encouragement, and resources for the in-person fight. And that doesn’t work if your online profile is also local. For many people, there online participation cannot, and should not, be geographically local. Remember the “good old days” of the local BBS that you had to dial into? Isn’t it interesting that every single documentary full of sepia toned reminiscences about how wonderful those local communities were is entirely created by and featuring old middle-class white dudes? No women, no homosexuals or transsexuals, no people with disabilities, and no ethnic minorities? I wonder why!

Again, speaking from personal experience: blind people had NFBNet, but it wasn’t local. And the local BBS’s had so much ASCII art and other accessibility issues that we couldn’t participate.

And now, on local Reddits and Facebook groups, nobody uses alt text. I guess that’s my fault for not participating in a space that is completely inaccessible to me. I’m the problem with democracy!
