  • Seems pretty handy. So far the extension works pretty well.

    In testing out the Firefox version of the extension, I found that it would be nice if there were a “copy to clipboard” button near the “Subscribe” button for users who just want the RSS URL. I host a FreshRSS instance so the “Subscribe” button doesn’t do anything for me. Triple-clicking the URL works to highlight it all, but a single-click copy button would be a nice QoL improvement.


  • Even if the interface may feel similar to you.

    I would say it’s more than just the interface that makes Lemmy similar to Reddit. To end users, they are virtually identical services in terms of functionality. Link aggregators with built-in community forums. I think it’s fair to call Lemmy a federated Reddit clone. Not to suggest Reddit invented any of the aforementioned features, just that Lemmy’s implementation of said features is in many ways identical to Reddit’s approach because it was meant to be a Reddit alternative for the fediverse.

    Even the official Lemmy git repository compares the project to Reddit:

    Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you’re interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them.






  • people are so knee-jerk at anything that isn’t 100% human made that they will care and demand anything that uses any kind of artificial intelligence or non human composed and played music be burned at the stake.

    Maybe let’s not presume how the community will behave given a new rule regarding generative AI. Music featuring digital instrumentation has certainly not been “burned at the stake” despite it not being “100% human made”.

    Music composed and performed by generative AI (which was trained on the works of other artists) would understandably be met with criticism within the music community, and is a far cry from “100% human made” in that it is closer to “0% human made”.

    Technically, you might need to ban the song “skullgrid” since it was composed using procedural generation software

    Was the procedural generation software trained using other artists’ works? Or is it more like a drum machine with baked-in algorithms written by software developers? If the latter, that’s not “AI” in the sense that this thread is primarily discussing.




  • If you (or your parents) like to cook, you could get some choice steaks (or other high-end ingredients) and make a nice meal that the whole family can enjoy.

    Could also get a nice game controller if you’re into video games. Most first-party controllers seem to cost about $70-$80 these days.

    I dunno what the “smart” thing to do with $75 would be; $75 isn’t a whole lot of money in the grand scheme of things so investing it wouldn’t exactly pay dividends any time soon. Maybe buy 1GB of DDR5 RAM and in a year it might be worth $75,000 if the market continues its current trend.
