You may like the book “the perfect run”. It’s on royal road.

It goes over quite a few scenarios like what you are talking about about. Plays out like a hero story though.

I bought an ouya. I remember just about everything sucked. It’s the thing that came into mind.

Hackaday is pretty good

Theres quite a few on [email protected]. Check it out

I have a couple of hundred RSS feeds. It has worked well past 15+ years.

The internet comes to me rather than the other way around.

Some RSS feeds that are fun:

https://questionablecontent.net/ - very long running comic.

https://hackaday.com/

https://www.kevinandkell.com/ - one of the most consistent oldest webcomic.

Royal road also has RSS feed support.

What I use: https://freshrss.org/ it’s kinda like Google reader back in the day.

Yes I have a couple friends that can’t live without it, so we have had convos. It’s better to go to Walmart and get the very cheap stuff, but your going to die without it…

Remember your local community is one of the most valuable resources. Get to know your neighbors, invest in your social capital.

I remember coming across post in a /r/collapse on reddit that poked fun at a lot of peoples plans. He stated he was in a war torn country and found a lot of plans revolve around personal survivorship instead of community based. And the immediate local community is the one that most people fall back on and the one that often times helps out the most.

I’m hesitant to recommend but https://fed.brid.gy/ makes feeds from websites that may or may not have RSS feeds. It works well with Tumblr for example.

One thing is that kbin/mbin/piefed/etc…etc… interact with lemmy all the time. Its getting a bit hazy if “lemmy” the platform is growing or if the entirety of the fediverse is growing and others are communicating with the software. We are now seeing quite a few accounts from all over the web interacting with lemmy communities. Is that a new “user” according to the stats? Or is that person a one off from mastodon?

What I a seeing is a general increase in discussion on the platform and increase in posts from all over the fediverse. Which is awesome!

2 in my local area. It’s how I found out about it. We have been slowly growing the community.

sure

California could just not pay the US gov that much easily. They get MUCH more from Cali than Cali gets from them…I hope it doesnt come to that though.

I personally think that as long as our data has value to someone it will stay. Unfortunately(?) I think a vast majority of it will go the way of the void.

Space has cost.

Ironically that means platforms that cannot produce value from old messages will probably delete them. All these bytes are on storage media that probably wont last 10 years let alone 100+. Also never mind that the data itself will have to be on a media that other systems can use…so the html of today may not be used in 50 years or so, so reduces its value further. “Value” is subjective, but for most commercial platforms, its literally the amount of $$ they can get for the data. As soon as the data reaches 0$, it gets deleted. And as things get older and people die, these messages/data/etc… get lost, deleted, corrupted, or incompatible with the technology of the day.

But short term, everyone is pulling our data because it has a VERY high value. So dont say anything on the internet you would not want your parents finding out :)

I do like how it “looks” the most on topics. I wish mastodon had something similar revolving around their posts/hashtags.

I got everything but the image support working without any real effort. Just pip install toot.

toot! https://github.com/ihabunek/toot

Use it all the time in the terminal. Plus its a great name.

Jerboa on android. Its excellent.

Fedilab for mastodon on the phone.

Peertube for android. The new app is pretty good, just wish it had logging in and looking at my subscriptions.

Phanpy for mastodon on my laptop. Great mastodon browser.

w3m / Links2 for everything else of course.

The cell phone apps are a lot better nowadays. They look a lot better.

I’ve been posting more fedi content instead of just the popular links.

It’s an interesting dynamic!

I find myself talking more on lemmy as others say because it’s easier/made for talking about topics. Mastodon and other fedi services center around following the account that made a thing rather than the thing(s) themselves. And that’s fine, both have their place.

I like the ability to actually see everything from an API standpoint. Reddit is also overwhelmingly negative, and im looking for a place to discuss with people willing to actually do something other than complain.
