Love job offers that begin with, “I apologize”

Same. I just know there is a lot more out there and hope those ppl chime in. 🤞

I use JF and tag my music with the MB ID too. Not what I’m asking.

I want to know if ppl use the playlist auto-generator plugins, lyrics plugin or others to enhance their experience.

I’m curious what plugins people like the most and find the most useful.

That’s it? I don’t need any arguments or options when I do the transcode?

[-] chagall 1 points 1 month ago

I know everyone is really excited about this. If I’m using ffmpeg, how do I use it (once ffmpeg merges this update)?

Not the dev but afaik it is read-only. You login in order to create custom feeds of the subs that you want to look at. But you wouldn’t login with your Reddit username and password, you would create new credentials for this separate service.

Oh that’s fantastic! Thanks for the update.

Asking because I got it and I'm not really sure what to do. So, I wanted to see what strangers on the internet are going to do.

I don't have an existing e-trade account and I'm not super excited about creating one for the singular purpose of this IPO. But, if I can quickly make a couple of bucks and then cash out, that might be worth it.

Are there rules to when you cash out if you get in at the IPO price? Could I buy-in at the $30-ish/share price and couple that with a trailing stop-loss order? Maybe this isn't the right Lemmy community to ask this, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

It's not on every instance, so Libreddit still functions, but this seems to happen more and more on different instances. Then will get fixed and then fail again later the next day or week.

Is Reddit's API literally changing the structure of the data payload randomly? Does anyone know why this is happening?

Does anyone know if it is possible to take a Roku box, wipe it and install something else on it? I was thinking LibreElec, something else Kodi-ish or even just stock android.

I should begin by mentioning that I am (was) a moderator of three subreddits: one large subreddit, one NSFW subreddit and a medical-related subreddit. After u/spez's calamitous AMA, I joined Lemmy and haven't looked back. I am really enjoying the Lemmy/KBin vibe. It is very much an alpha (almost beta) product and the ad free, corporate free, decentralized nature of the fediverse has a thrill of its own.

Over the past couple of months, Reddit has done everything it can to show its moderators that they are low-value and easily replaceable. They've done this by removing technical tools, killing off third party applications, crippling API changes and jaw-droppingly bad public relations. Heavily used products like /r/toolbox are no longer being actively developed. When Reddit API implements a breaking, non-backwards compatible change, that tool will also die.

Yet the moderators of Reddit continue to moderate. They stay and help Reddit build Reddit. They continue to work for free; to allow Reddit to make money off of their work despite being abused. When I see things like the comment section on this post, I no longer feel sorry for the Reddit moderators still on the site. I see them as a sad, sorry group who cling to the false hope of a corporate turnaround. They could leave Reddit. They should leave Reddit.

These moderators are in an abusive relationship with Reddit, Inc. I might understand the argument, "we built this community, we can't just abandon it". But would you give the same advice to someone else in an abusive relationship? I get that the analogy between the mods and the corp is an imperfect one, yet it is similar enough to be valid, in my opinion.

Moderating is really hard. It is hard and thankless and never-ending. Finding good moderators who can handle the marathon nature of the gig is incredibly difficult. If Reddit moderators were to delete their moderating bots, downgrade their automod "code" and dial back their modding efforts to 5 min/week or less, it would materially hurt Reddit as a product.

The sunk-cost fallacy is a real thing. If the Reddit mods understood this, they'd take their talents elsewhere. But as long as they continue to help Reddit build Reddit, one shouldn't feel sorry for them.

They could leave. I did and I've never been happier.
