Oh man, I don't know whether to comment two squid or three fiddy.

Yeah, like I said via Beeper/Matrix

🇬🇧 LadZ:

Yeah I totally get ya, and I'm just chiming in with what I've seen before and the best people to ask are the subscribers themselves.

Not me a lazy ass mod that doesn't do anything because to be honest this Fediverse shit is cool compared to weddit or even Colesy and the admins

Just my 2¢

Yoinking a community is never fun. I've seen that before.

Booooo, I don't see no upvotes 😆

Engagement is key ;)

Agreed, and kinda confused why askandroid would need locking because of a FDroid community 🤔

The thing that gets me is I came across forums for Android just before Digg shit the bed, and migrated to /r/Android where things were all cozy with ~1K-25K members.

But as always the Help Vampires took hold, and it wasn't until the mods realised that peeps submitting screenshots of their battery stats / problems / or some new feature that is limited to an OEM or whatever, they had to then have a clear set of rules and sister communities such as /r/AndroidQuestions / AndroidApps.

Even r/acj (RIP 😖).

I worry even if the numbers are small now, if we consolidate things into a bucket we're likely to end up in the same situation again having to redirect the noise so to speak and going round in circles reopening it 🤷‍♀️

It's an expensive journey if you wanna ever keep near Moores Law and why I like handing down shit.

A family member has my old Synology NAS and they still can't get their head around Jellyseer but understands it, works.

It then also gives me a test + bonus backup place. Have fun!

See the thing is I know it offends many ~~Indians~~ people when they shit ~~talk~~ post about their respective countries.

A quick skim of your post history shows you like Joe Rogan, and stuff from Yankland and their politics.

But the most funny thing is when people get offended by "bad news" from their "Country". I'm from the UK and some of the shit we see in the news is hilariously stupid these days and I take shitposting with a pinch of salt. You should try it too ;)

ninjaedit for example: "Oi mate, did u get stabbed 'cause u didn't av a TV Lociense fella?"

Or even edit two - https://files.catbox.moe/x8t4rx.jpg

Fourth person chiming in here !chellomere@lemmy.world, and I've pretty much the same as the above guys.

Segmented the NAS to being a NAS + arrr stack, N100 for Immich/Jellyfin HW transcoding, RPi3& 5 for Adguard and TVHeadend server.

I like the idea of there not being a single point of failure.

Are people downloading youtube videos to their Plex/Jellyfin and watching them locally?

Of course they are, and you can stream the media or download it via many other means including youtube-dl.

They also still actively thwart users who are on a CG-NAT'ed connection so I ponder if the legality is now starting to bog them down.

I have, and that's my point.

I'm a lowly drone pilot that isn't really made to understand what those lights mean but did out of my sheer curiosity.

But the average pedestrian is going to take some, teaching?

[–] ladfrombrad 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

Possibly, and I'd be interested in some sort of 360° LED on top of a vehicle to indicate to pedestrians and other drivers alike of its (de)acceleration.

But jamming some non standard colours in what is a long term understanding on the front of a vehicle I can't really get with and would like to see the impact to people with partial / colour blindness with using such a system.

Like, does the average pedestrian know what the green and red lights mean on an aircraft? I bet not.

[–] ladfrombrad 7 points 6 months ago (8 children)

Like someone said in the hnews comments, this might work for auto transmission but with manual gearing you've got people using engine braking on hills.

Also like stated in the article the colouring is going to be an issue and trying to see some green lights whilst the headlights are on (full beam fog lights perhaps too?) doesn't seem practicable to me.

But in general I think you’re probably right that literacy can decrease with disuse

Maths is a really good example of this.

At one point I really enjoyed doing long division in my head but as time goes on (and you don't exercise that sponge...), it becomes lazy.
