Lachlan is running the show now. James apparently couldn't stomach it after News of the World - but this is daddy's pet project, presumably.

The fact that these stories are running in all the Murdoch papers is the tell.
the best part...
"The CaliExpress by Flippy location will also double as a pseudo-museum experience presented by Miso Robotics. Guests can see dancing robot arms, experimental 3D-printed artifacts, photographic displays and more."
Neither would I - you can browse Lemmy (and mastodon I think) pretty extensively without logging in. I also think we are at the start of a long term transition towards decentralization of media generally.
In terms of content I like Lemmy. I do see how concentrated the user base is - but I don't see it getting smaller - if anything I see it growing slowly but surely. In addition to organic growth, there will probably be events that drive massive migration to the fediverse - like reddit's nonsense but from different or more diverse sources - some media attention or a major celebrity plug and things could get crazy pretty fast. The platform will probably need a lot of extra TLC to scale rapidly if that happens.
When you see the major media companies start to stand up Mastodon instances - which I also think is going to happen eventually - expansion of the fediverse seems all but inevitable. I would be interested to see what that chart looks like in 5, 10 years. There are plenty of ways for the fediverse to grow apart from more lemmy users signing up.
had issues with Remmima and Win 10 last week - worked around it by using xfreerdp directly at the command line. this is what I use from a linux command line to set the resolution and sound (audio-mode:1 is same as Remmima local sound, or supposed to be)
xfreerdp /w:1680 /h:1050 /u:<username> /audio-mode:1 /v:<ip address> /sound /microphonethis keeps all audio local on the system, which is what I need.
Remmima was working fine until I messed with the settings to see if I could have both local and remote audio with RDP (you can't) and then I could not get the local audio back no matter what I did - tried deleting profile, reinstalling, etc. Nothing worked until invoking xfreerdp directly. Been flawless since then.
