I was just thinking the same thing. It’s rare that the bullshit from tech companies is so quickly identified packaged and labeled like that (even if we are still calling it “AI”).

What you’ve expressed is not pessimism it’s cynicism.

Those are great drives but I would not want one of those in the room where I sleep haha

exactly. the only kind of self expression anyone needs is going on lemmy and making smug comments.

no they need it look it up

It’s not a single person instance either, it’s just using your own domain in your handle.

It’s a for profit company founded by jack dorsey and currently led by a cryptocurrency fanatic

The CEO comes from the world of crypto and it is a for profit company

Can you link to one of these other instances?

There is only one bluesky it’s literally centralized

The “source” is a tweet from a random dude, it’s almost certainly not true.

Same, I’m pretty sure it’s not true.

They’ve been extremely transparent about this:

Nobody’s mentioned Homarr or CasaOS but if you want an out of the box “Just works” but still open source experience they’re the best bet.

I looked it up (because the air is very dry in Nevada) and about 32,000 gallons of water per day are evaporated at the Bellagio fountains.

It won’t, it’s just a grift.

Lemmy instances comprise a relatively small part of the Fediverse.

Yeah it is a beta, but the actual final update that was released lacked that gyro functionality over 2.4ghz that was in the beta. So yeah, you kinda do need to “downgrade”.

Hopefully they do release an update with that functionality enabled one day but it’s been well over a year now and they don’t even officially provide that beta version anymore. So it’s not looking hopeful.

The 8bitdo ultimate you linked to is great. To be clear I have only used it with Windows.

But if you get it there is a hitch that’s not made clear anywhere- in order to use on 2.4ghz mode (with the dongle) with gyro enabled, you need to downgrade the firmware to an old beta version 8bitdo doesn’t host anymore. Someone uploaded it to google drive in that reddit thread I linked to.
