What do we even comment on a story like this. In 2023. There are no words to express the distaste to how she was treated. Found her youtube channel and subscribed. Looks like she is doing cool stuff. Will keep an eye on it.

I am so new to this that I cannot say. It may be area for the many apps under development to shine.

This would be very useful. I would argue for the universal link to go to the user’s home instance, where the user should already be logged in and able to interact with the post. That is if the user has a default set. Otherwise the magazine’s home instance makes sense for a unknown user.

It would be a core feature on activity pub itself though, with limited use on kbin.

It is in the dev plan afaik. Until them have a look at /m/kbinstyles. It is a magazine for greasemonkey scripts that improve the user experience. On mobile, or I would post a direct link. I am using the subscriptions panel from there and it works okay. Of course as a temp fix until it is implemented in the main code base.

As far I know the grouping of the hashtags with the articles and links, in one container is specific to kbin. I like the concept. I may be wrong though. I have not spent much time on Lemmy.

Magazine makes sense as a differentiation from lemmy’s community. The concept is different so a different word is needed. Thread feels like a throwback to reddit, but it makes sense in the threadverse concept.

I agree on blog though. There post feels cumbersome. Badges could probably use a rewording, but tag makes more sense to me there as an accepted word.

That is awesome work. Must have taken you ages

It is certainly a bold and interesting claim. Lets see if it pans out.

That is a beast of an amp for a medium room. 90W rms is a lot. I have not heard the amp in question, but be aware that sony can be a little clinical in sound. I would pare with a set of warm bookshelves. And add a small active sub later. Bose 301 comes to mind. You should be able to find them at a reasonable price second hand. Just make sure the units are undamaged. Cosmetics can be fixed with patience.

It is harder to find good second hand components now that what it was when I started. People were just buying AV receivers and selling lovely equipment from the 70 and 80s for next to nothing.

My favourite mid budget range speakers.have been Missions for years. Boston acoustics and Bowers and Wilkins also makes excellent bookshelves.

The Bose 301 speakers have a special place though. They can be wall mounted or placed on stands and can deliver a warm sound on just about anything.My father’s pair has been in daily use since 1983. The suspension was replaced once in 40 years.

Have a look if you don’t have an accidental subscription to kbin.social.

I had a similar problem. That seems to be a connection point for federated posts and makes all of them appear in your subscribed feed. It does not appear on your magazine list.

It is a tricky one to answer, regardless of the equipment. So many variables involved. For speakers, placement is often the most important part. Cheaper speakers properly placed can sound better than very expensive speakers poorly placed. It is an entire science on its own.

Enjoy the equipment you have. Listen to records, both new and second hand and then decide where to upgrade most. A mid range cartridge can help an entry level deck. Your system should sound good on any source.

Vinyl can also be hit and miss. I have some really terrible pressings in my collection that will never sound good and some that simply blows me away.

Agreed, custom aggregators for kbin and the fedverse in general, will become a thing.

I can see a view that combines the hot posts from each of my subbed communities, with the top 1 or two posts from each featuring, filtering over a time constraint or some other ranking system.

A client side implementation would be possible, but expensive in api calls. Server side should be easier. Maybe even defining a query language of sorts that can be user customised, if we wanted to be really fancy.

Some form of weighted rank, combining activity and interaction. I am subbed to some slow communities that are just starting. Maybe having a post or two in 24 hours where I would want those posts to rank highest. Subbed fast paced communities would then rank lower if we factor frequency and interaction on a per community basis.

I have seen the same behaviour on my mobile browser. Desktop seems to not have rhe issue. Error when upvotiing, fixed by a page reload followed by an immediate upvote.

Just got Elite Dangerous running today on my fresh Ubuntu. Loaded the modules for the z52 hotas, copied my bindings from my windows instance and there she flies. That makes 3 out o3 for my most played games in Ubuntu.

So far ED is running flawlessly. I need an equivalent for ED market connector though. But that can be manual gor the moment.

Agreed on your point. We need a way to identify those links so that our browser or app can automatically open them through our own instance.

I am thinking along the lines of a registered resource type, or maybe a central redirect page, hosted by each instance, that knows how to send you to your instance to view the post there.

I am sure it is a problem that can be solved. I would however not be in favour of some kind of central identity management. It is to easy a choke point and will take autonomy away from the instances.

That should just work. You view the post on your own instance and reply there. That reponse trickles to the other instances.

It may take a while to propagate though. The paradigm is close to that of the ancient nntp news groups where responses travel at the speed of the server’s synchronisation. It may be tricky for rapid fire conversation, but works well for comments of articles.

That approaches my current workflow. View all with federation, view subscriptions with federation and repeat without.

It would be nice to have that as options on the home screen, but it is not an urgent priority.

There is an important distinction that we must make. Community vs application.

My experience is like yours, made an account on lemmy, beehaw and here. When we saw the Reddit writing on the wall. The community here has been so much fun interacting with, that I have mostly stayed here.

The software is in its infancy and that is exciting. Tricky and maybe a little unstable, but conceptually exactly what I have wanted for ages. It will get there eventually. Ernest and team has been doing a spectacular job keeping the loghts on.

I expect that we will get many different aggregators for federated content as the platform matures.

I double posted a few times before I figured this one out. I am sure it will get sorted pretty soon.

I cannot help but think of Eric Drexler’s 90s classic book, The coming age of nanotechnology whenever we make another breakthrough in this area. It is astounding how far we have come.
