Threema.ch already do this. Maybe that’s the answer?

I wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?

But do we trust entities that depend on our governments for funding? It could be argued that they’re fundamentally compromised.

If they’re scraping the web, and they’re generating AI content on the web, how do they avoiding training their AI on it’s own nonsense somewhere?

Upvoted bc VC eventually means enshittifiication. But with xz getting back-doored recently, what is the middle ground that keeps these things sustainable financially and operationally?

The world appear in the aggregator but when I searched specifically for one in particular, I wasn’t found. Just now it works so I don’t know what changed. Thanks for pointing that out, I wouldn’t have tried again.

 

When spam started to become overwhelming here I signed up to the largest mbin instance, Fedia.io. On one hand it runs well and isn't overrun with spam posts. On the other, it's missing some communities that are active on kbin.social.

It also doesn't have a meta or askmbin type of community, like kbin does.

Are there any other differences I should consider before deciding which of the two to drop?

Edit: I also got a server error when I posted this and thought my post had been lost. Phew! This doesn't happen on Fedia.io.

For those with the skills, yes. But it would be good to facilitate less technical people to use the platform too.

 

Just wondering if local communities could use kbin that way.

The problem is that we can’t leave. We’ve requested for our accounts to be deleted a long time ago. It’s not our fault that we’re still waiting.

The export process says it has copied subscriptions to the clipboard, but when I paste I just get the code I had pasted in to the browser console. I'm using Safari on macOS.

It's not a big deal. I don't mind starting from scratch.

I’ve been waiting for my account deletion request to be accepted for a while now. Maybe a few weeks.

I like Kbin in theory, but the spam is too distracting for me. I’m not in a position to volunteer either.

 

Not much to add to this question. I connect to the router with a LAN cable but need WiFi turned on so that Airdrop also works. Is it possible to have the system make the LAN connection default / priority in this case?

 

I had some mushrooms that happen to have been rinsed underwater. I didn’t want to cook with them today and I heard that it’s not good to store them once wet.

So I put them in the air fryer to dry them before storage. This caused them to release their fluid and now they are wetter than ever.

Can anyone advise on how I can store these safely for another two days?

 

I’m just thinking if the energy use that data centres and streaming platforms require, and the climate crisis. Would one be significantly better than the other in terms of energy use?

 

I've moved into a place with one of these systems and it seems to have a lot of benefits. But I prefer to open a window every day and get fresh air in. Doesn't that cancel out the advantages of the heat exchange system?

 

I used to use qbittorrent because it had so many search plugins. Now I want something I ran run on a headless server. I've found qbittorrent-nox, but I don't see anything about plugins in the documentation.

Has anyone used it, or can recommend something else that has search sources already configured?

I’m struggling to pan the chorus of my song. It only has drums, bass, one slightly distorted guitar and a lead vocal.

The drums have a nice default panning spread from L-R in the DAW I’m using (Logic). But the convention I’m reading online recommends putting bass and vocal in the centre.

My question is, what do I do with the guitar, which is just playing a power chord at the beginning of each bar.

I like songs that fill the stereo spectrum but due to the composition, this one seems narrow by comparison.

I’ve read about stereo expanders but I’m not sure when to sure them. I was also thinking that I could somehow split the guitar into two tracks by frequency and pan those differently. Not sure how to go about that yet and then not sure if I would need to do the same for vocals in that case.

Any suggestions on how to make the mix a bit more exciting without changing the composition ?

 

Simple Scan, how I love you so
I’ve tried the others, and it’s a big fat “NO!”
Your elegant use of PDF
Unlike that hot mess over on MacOS
Separate PNGs, what do I do with those??
On Ubuntu I’d have been done ages ago
.
And on Windows, please, don’t even begin
100 updates before I can even log in
The login screen should be the start of the journey
On Windows, it groans into view on a gurney
.
But the scans fly by, one, two and three
Combined PDF - pure simplicity!
Before I was anxious, I have hundreds of pages
Thinking the job was going to take ages
But I play some music, I tidy my room
I can't believe - I’m over halfway through!
.
I click on “About”, see who the devs are
Mr. Ancell and co., you are each of you stars

When I'm on Firefox, I can attach an image to a "Photo" post, but the upload button doesn't do anything. On Safari, I can't even attach the image in the first place.

How is everyone else getting around this (or is it a universal problem)?
