Another option that has actually happened in other places: sue them into compliance! It doesn’t even matter if you win or not, what matters is making people look down the barrel of legislative costs while you have infinite money!

haha, this goes along with my husband’s comments when I asked him this question too. He said that nobody does documentation the first time.

Not to mention the federal level bill that is so sweeping it applies to virtually everything.

My thoughts were that now they can ID people tagged as “dissenters” to widen the net.

It’s kind of sad in hindsight. I remember around 8-10 years ago or so a conversation about unionization amongst programmers came up and almost universally the response was “lol why would I ever unionize? Just hop companies.”

Welp.

Really enjoying Kvaesitso!

What kind of content do you watch? Some of the stuff I enjoy watching I can definitely get my fix from elsewhere (educational, food/cooking/recipes, tech news); some of it is very person-specific so I would miss out on their specific views on things but I still would have other sources to turn to if I could disregard that (essays, reviews, comedy); and some of it is like ‘well my choices are basically youtube or twitch’ (let’s plays/other video game content)

(EDIT: Reviews not News. I hate watching most news tbh.)

This definitely has been the narrative recently. Not just from Bland Altman but also from other billionaires it seems.

I particularly like using it to capture a snapshot of the website for, say, my paid newsletter subscriptions that I might want to read later. That way if I do let my subscription lapse, I can still access the content I already paid for.

Welcome to self-hosting! I hope you have fun learning stuff. I’m still kind of on the lower-end of the intermediate scale myself, so I’m hoping they’ll be using dockers and docker-compose once the self-host docs are up.

Right now I do think it has screen share, but it doesn’t allow you to share audio at the same time (known bug). Bummer for me too.

I’m just glad that Discord pushed back their age verification stuff for at least a few months so there’s room for Stoat, Fluxer, etc to get some work done.

When did you last check the self-hosting documentation? I just poked my head into it and there’s a big post talking about why they’d rather people wait on self-hosting.

That said if you liked Fluxer but are not satisfied with it right now (which is completely understandable. It’s in beta, after all, not a finished product), I’d say check back in 2-3 months. I would bet that the self-hosting is ready to go by then, judging by the rate of how other things have been updating.

Maybe some people will migrate things back out. I wound up moving a bunch of stuff to a self hosted wiki.

I’ve also always liked how old school forums are structured. Nice, neat categories and most active/recent stuff on top.

Love this but I will say that “IRL enshittification” is absolutely a thing. Just take shrinkflation for example.

I say this as someone with a nebula account and likes to watch stuff from nebula: I strongly dislike their website. My biggest annoyance is I can’t go to a specific creator’s page and search for videos that I know exist, I have to scroll through their entire history searching for it.

I had a mental health professional suggest using ChatGPT to make a day planner, it fucking floored me. We are not in the majority here and it sucks when that sinks in.

Interesting post from Fedora on this https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/california-age-verification/181968/6

I find it also helps the cost is the same as old Nitro was which is pretty affordable IMO.

You’re not wrong, but I agree with the person above you. I have an RSS feed but whenever something really stirs my interest I generally want to share it with someone and get their takes on it. Genuine discussion, even if it’s vanishingly rare, is still something I crave.
