Is this real, is this how it happened??

Avid Amoeba@lemmy.cato Europe@feddit.org•Campaigners mount coordinated protests across Europe against ‘touristification’English52·4 days ago“People who go on vacation to one place or another are not our enemies, nor are they the target of our actions,” he said. “Let me be clear: our enemies are those who speculate on housing, who exploit workers and those who are profiting handsomely from the touristification of our cities.”
It’s always about a class struggle, isn’t it.
Probably not.

Avid Amoeba@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I've massively improved my home organization with this free and open-source [Self-Hosted] tool [HomeBox]English2·9 days agoThe worst case scenario is when you know you have something, you cannot find it after multiple raids, and you end up buying it again. Then of course you eventually find it during the course of doing something random.
Avid Amoeba@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I've massively improved my home organization with this free and open-source [Self-Hosted] tool [HomeBox]English3·9 days agoThat’s nice. I suppose you could do the same by printing a bunch of UUIDs on QR codes and add the UUIDs to the respective location in the system.
What I’m doing is even easier. I use an X-Y coordinate system. I assign a letter to a storage unit, e.g. a Kallax is assigned “A”. Then each bin horizontally is X and each bin vertically is Y in A:X:Y. Then fairly easily I can determine that the third bin on the second shelf is A:3:2. That’s short enough to type in a search field. It’s also easy enough to locate a shelf coming from A:X:Y. If the shelf has only one dimension, like a bunch of drawers, I use just one number. This system is fairly easy to learn and eliminates the need for physically tagging every bin or drawer. Doesn’t work for unstructured storage, like boxes on the floor or other shameful things that we all have. 😄

Hidden cams, jam-resistent comm, so HasanAbi can do live commentary.

I’m currently using Google Keep (don’t judge) with special title format and gotta move out of there.

Avid Amoeba@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish1·9 days agoWhat you want to look at is the size of the hate and the material reasons for it. And that’s fairly difficult to measure if you’re not paying close attention. Plex hate has been growing dramatically over the last few years because they materially changed their service. They began collecting data some time ago and now they are selling it unless you go and opt out. So the hate is much larger and louder for that reason. For me those last changes were the straw that made it clear we’re just one small push for profit away from my sailing habits getting sold to the American copyright lobby. So I’m currently trialling Jellyfin.
In addition as some have highlighted Jellyfin is markedly different from Plex or Emby in that it’s open source and if something happens to it, forking is the way out, which already happened since Jellyfin is a fork of Emby. Migrating from one open source project to its fork is usually trivial compared to migrating from a proprietary service to another one. And there’s no reasonable chance of my data ending up in the RIAA/MPAA’s hands. So the Plex -> Jellyfin switch everyone is doing is not merely switching to another horse. It’s more like switching to completely different vehicle that you can maintain indefinitely.
E: This process we currently call “enshittification” (not a new process) has now been experienced by wide swaths of people where previously only a small minority understood it. I think that drives faster and wider reaction to these patterns as they’re now very familiar. I think that’s a good thing. I used to give corporations more benefit of the doubt and think in balance but then I did not understand why they do what they do. Now I do and the benefit of the doubt is gone unless there’s something material to support it. Like having open source clients.
Sorry, C-2. 😄 It’s got some Patriot Act-y stuff in it. Look up coverage on it.
Is this real? The article gives no concrete details.
