I’ve been seeing people migrate in mass lately. The biggest issue with the above is that it’s not at all intuitive. If Blue sky wants to be fediverse comparable, I think they need to make the process easier OR implement activity hub and link. As it is, all I see is people not opting in and a huge migration without activity hub users.

I’ve opted in on my fedi/mastodon account. But no one knows on the blue sky side to opt in so when I try to follow, no one shows up. It’s easier to just follow on RSS.

Oh well we can still have fun on our side of the Internet.

Yep from what I understand.

Dunno. But I’ve had no issues so far with gts.

You are not wrong.

We do have automated AI that applies for jobs for you now. Its kinda hilarious in a dystopian way. https://github.com/AIHawk-co/Auto_Jobs_Applier_AI_Agent

I can’t think of any windows specific games I’ve payed for the last two years.

Such a strange world. These kind of stories makes it funny to read the headlines from time to time.

Pico can do some amazing things for sure.

I have a system76 machine. It’s been really good with steam. Or a steam deck, it’s just a PC.

Their laptops are not worth it if I’m honest. They have issues with the hinges. I had two of them give out. They use a very cheap plastic. But you are guaranteed no driver issues if you use PoPOS on their own machines.

Yep then it will be the next twitter/Facebook/ect.

Flash drives and periodic transfers.

Peertube, Bookwyrm, Lemmy, Mastodon in that order. Theres a ton out there I haven’t tried.

Pokemon Unbound is a fun one.

Theres one that saves the original Tetris high scores that we use in an arcade cabinet.

Htop or top

Sounds like you have your answer! Also sounds like a fun project. GL!

Game boy and nes are pretty easy with modern day tools.

Its all good, as long as people watch. Upvotes/downvotes are just funny money/whose line is it anyways of internet points. AS long as people have a good time on lemmy im all good.

I have an old mac mini that was a server for a good 4-ish years.

The good:

1. They are pretty good at sticking in a closet and forgetting about them.
2. Specs are always on the decent side and some of the older models are easy to upgrade.
3. Power is ok. It sips power
4. It can run for years without issues. I still have two mac minis I used for CI/CD jobs, thin clients, etc…
5. Its a cheap mac. If you need mac for something, like building custom mac specific applications, then its a decent little machine.

The bad:

1. CPU is usually lacking compared to any computer of the same price range.
2. MAC OS. Its good at desktop but as a server, it just doesn’t have the same options/ease of use as a good linux box. You can get around that by dual booting, but its just another headache. Docker/VMs are also an option, but the RAM/CPU usage would take a hit.
3. The newer the model, the harder it is to upgrade.

I would use it as a specialty server if you have something you do automatically only macs can do. Or as a thin client/vm box.

I used to use it as a CI/CD box before github actions was a thing. If you happen to have one, sure set it up for fun. If you dont and are looking at buying one, I would suggest a cheap dell desktop or (depending on what you want to host) a pi 5 or thin client and throw linux on it.

I tried that but it got downvoted. Hackaday had a great article but people don’t like it for some reason.

Lol so what happens if all your online stuff is automated?

That means no mare ads.

Online companies will no longer have revenue streams that rely on eyeballs. Probably another subscription service…

If you find out, let me know…or post? Cause ive been looking for something like that for years in the software development side. The most consistent has been google translate…but its not the greatest API and expensive for anything other than corps. Most sites are just looking to make sure they meet requirements, thats it.
