The Internet is bad.
It was all about “fun” in the days of MySpace and Digg and early-Reddit. That damn cat wanted a damn cheeseburger and we all laughed about it.
Then it became all about politics. And people would go to any lengths to ensure that “their” politics “won” on social media. We went from people having fleets of alt accounts, to fleets of bots, to just having AI spread and upvote propaganda.
So, it’s all just gross now. I want my goddamn Geocities & Yahoo! Towers back.
Such a weird thing for everyone to fixate on and lose their shit. Let our dumbass en-US selves do whatever “official” dumbass thing we have to with the name.
Everyone else can leave it what it always was.
Next time there’s a Democrat U.S. President, the “en-US” term will be changed back to Gulf of Mexico.
This is stupid.
I do worry about Nissan’s future when they seem to be about this close to operating with zero profits.
Genuinely curious… How does Google handle other oceanic naming that isn’t agreed upon Worldwide?

Who would’ve thought… 3DFX was apparently ahead of its time…
I love Mastodon. It’s easily my favorite & most-used social media platform right now.
But I’m also a huge damn nerd.
I honestly can’t say I’d recommend it to anyone that isn’t also a huge damn nerd, because they just won’t find stuff they want.
“You want sports? We don’t have much of that, but check out the Proxmox server in this guy’s basement!”
Got a chuckle at this response, though…
Yeah, I’ll be curious to see how that all plays out.
Current GPU pricing still seems to have the 2019-2020 25% GPU tariff price baked-in. Note how prices didn’t drop 25% when those were rescinded.
Do Nvidia & AMD factor those in their pricing and give consumer a break? Or do they just jack up prices again and aim for mega-profits?
Hell, will the tariffs even happen? At one point, those tariffs were supposedly contingent on U.S. Federal income taxes being abolished, and being used to replace that government tax income. The income tax part seems to have been dropped from the narrative ever since the election.
It’s a pretty decent value when stacked up against RTX 4000 and RX 7000 GPUs.
But we’re only a month or two from the next generation of Nvidia & AMD cards.
Those companies could even shit the bed for a second generation in a row on price-to-performance improvements, and the B580 will probably just end up being in-line with those offerings.
I’m just thinking something as simple as the app triggering an event that unlatches a compartment that corresponds to that specific time. “It’s 12:00. Open the compartment with all the 12:00 meds.” You’d probably have to include multi-day support, too (I fill dad’s meds a month at a time in this - https://a.co/d/cRw0e93 )
That same event could do things like trigger a visual or audio alarm, too.
My goal would be to make it as hands-off as possible for him. He already finds ways to “cheat” the daily dispensers he has now.
EDIT: Look up Pyxis or Omnicell Dispensers for examples of unlatching compartments. We use these pretty extensively in hospitals.
EDIT 2: Here’s a good example (starting around 2:00) showing how the individual compartments unlatch: https://youtu.be/bPJSbexZNC4?t=120
Pharmacist here, struggling to find a way to keep my dad on schedule with his Parkinson’s meds.
Adding an option for webhooks at scheduled dispense times would open up some cool opportunities for nerds like us to create automated dispensing units.
Yep. Sometimes I think people forget that the modlog is public here.

Are we sure about that? Kinda just looks like it’s a mostly-empty community. (4 posts in the last 15 days, then nothing until 9 months ago)
Also, this comment is getting copypasta’d onto multiple different unrelated suggestions.
1Gbps symmetrical speeds with unlimited data for $50/mo
God I wish I lived in the 2% or so of the geographic U.S. that had access to service like this. It’s $116/mo here for Comcast’s 1000/150Mbps service, capped at 1.2TB. Costs an extra $30 to remove that cap.
The fact that the Russian government came out this fast and said they need a version with their own commits is, perhaps, telling.
My daily trickplay task finished in 1 minute after the update. So apparently not.
It’s still active – save the communities that got kneecapped by mods during the revolt (and sadly, most of those are now Discord-based rather than having any appreciable activity here).
The activity there now is a lot… dumber. Like much of the internet, the ratio of real people to braindead bots on Reddit is a lot different than a few years ago.
A lot of stuff ONLY has viable Q&A discussion there…
As much as I love the idea of Lemmy, try finding active communities here for: MAME or any other videogame emulation… Plex… The breed of your family dog/cat… Most any sort of non-Fedi-focused brand/podcast/personality…
Yes, I can create a new community. Then I just sit in it by myself, and occasionally deal with spam.
The majority of Reddit discourse on this is wild. The crowd there is going HARD to try and paint IA in the most negative light possible.
I know we don’t like Reddit here, but for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1g7w0rh/internet_archive_issues_continue_this_time_with/
It’s almost as if the “hackers” and/or copyright holders are running that conversation.
I legitimately don’t understand why the U.S. isn’t the only locality where it shows up as “Gulf of America”.
Set the en-US string to “Gulf of America”. Leave literally every other region’s text string untouched from what it was 6 months ago.
When the next Democrat U.S. President gets sworn in and immediately Executive Orders it back to “Gulf of Mexico”, change the en-US string back to that.
This is all so stupid and melodramatic.
