There is a guy fighting Newport council to let him dig through a landfill at the moment: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-67297013

Admins that access the post through their instance can currently see the votes.

Someone explained it to me that a lot of the downvoting is people browsing all, then getting annoyed and downvoting when they see things they're not interested in :|

And how many are the site completely re-jigging their CMS with no forwarding set up.

But they are ready to take the jobs of motivational speakers.

I'm curious to see what the quality is like. If it's a similar case to the Enviro hat, and gives good reliable results for less, fantastic.
If it's like the other cheapie thermal sensors on alibaba, less so.

It's funny like that, isn't it?

You catch lightning in a bottle in 5 minutes using Reaper, then spend 100x the time on another song that just vanishes.

Peaches most popular song was a tape recording off the sound desk in a German bar.

This is one of the reasons I went to Apple TV for my streaming box.

All the streaming services seem to be in a race to make the slowest, worst looking, least consistent application possible. And Apple at least has a bit of a hand in making them reign it in a bit, and keep the players consistent.

"ooh, we're averaging only 75% cpu use, we can cram another shitty effect in here..."

It's the same with machine learning.

People persuading ChatGPT to spit out some code, then getting offended when coders point out that you can't rely on GPT enough to use it blind.

This is pretty much what happened with HomeAssistant. Tying all the integrations together in one platform.

It's now at the stage of "copy these files to a pi/buy this box we make"

The overall aim is to integrate most open things, and find ways to work with/around more closed off products.

If any federated banning networks do pop up, I'd expect them to form groups, with different groups having different standards. And the idea being that if someone's banned from one place with similar standards, the rest of the group probably wouldn't welcome the content.

It'll come down to places and groups being reasonable, and not banning for stupid reasons (at least by that group's standards). And if they are unreasonable, it'll reflect on the group, as nobody would bother posting to those instances any more.

And in a way, the ultimate "ban" will be with the host instance, similarly to email.
An admin at lemmy.world might get a report that an account is spreading csam links everywhere, and to consider banning them, for example.

They have boiled one of the most well cooked frogs in the entire tech industry

Plus, there isn't that much by way of an alternative for the same money. Edit: I've just done a little legwork, and Tidal might work for me... Even with the recent price hike, it's £4/user/month for a family plan, for access to 95% of the world's music.

For all its flaws, and really hit-and-miss algos, I struggled to find something better for around the same money.
