Ok, understood. So if you’re not online, you pretty much lose messages, or are they cached and the next time the sender is online you get them?

My use case is a kid using a minecraft server and wants to talk to his friends, and we’re using mumble now, but they want “discord” and they want things like plugins that allow mgmt from the discord channels, which I would be willing to try to develop, but the model pretty much requires a server to be online.

In general, I’m trying to make a small internet for my kids and their friends to have “normal” internet experiences without being on the wider internet. No youtube, but pinchflat -> jellyfin. No discord, but mumble. No google drive, but nextcloud.

I have been exploring self-hosted Discord alternatives and had been looking at Rocket Chat, so I am wondering what is the pitch for this versus something like that? I am very early in my exploration, of course.

The implication here is that somehow that’s a problem with lemmy and lemmy.world…but I bet he also had an amazon account and no one is blaming them.

No, lots of people out there years out from an accident or injury can’t work and it leads to the opioid addiction cycle; having an option to control the pain and get people able to either work or do hobbies again, or do things with their families, would be huge.

There’s a lot of snark, but the idea is this only inhibits pain in the peripheries, so it isn’t so psychoactively impacting. You don’t get sedated, the addiction profile is way less, and the LD50 means OD’ing is much harder. I’m sure there’s dependency potential, but it seems this is NOT recreational, which is huge, and if the sedation is less and you can take this and still function, it could be a game changer, allowing people impacted by chronic pain to re-enter the work force and have a better quality of life:

I use pinchflat to download media, then Jellyfin Youtube Metadata Plugin. It works very well, and it’s let me block the youtube app for my kids but still give them specific content.

I downloaded this and poked through it; I don’t know that it’s as juicy as you’d think. It’s a lot of information about vulnerabilities that could be used to further infiltrate these institutions, and in a lot of cases (famous people’s twitters or instragrams) it’s just a cursory web scan of headers returned.

I definitely prefer the goofs and gaffes and goss talk than the political drama, but it has been kind of crazy to see him get clipped saying exactly the opposite of what he’s said and then those clips going viral. Like he’s donated to Palestine, as an Israeli dual citizen he’s voted against Bibi, he’s actively declared it’s a genocide in Gaza and that it has to stop, and he has described west-bank settlers as unforgivable and valid military targets…and then he’s out with his kids and people run up on him and scream he’s a zionist. It would be a lot for anyone.

There’s some legit stuff going on, which I think is giving him hard times for sure

1. the fires, and the people in his immediate community that lost everything
2. the IRL doxing, including getting accosted in person with his kids on camera, and the CPS call to his house
3. the tariffs may make Teddy Fresh simply not able to function, including not able to afford existing commitments which have already shipped

The other thing is his Tourettes, which I have to say, my kid has tourettes so I have a lot of empathy/patience for…but it makes things look worse than they are. When he’s stressed, the tics get crazy, and I can see it turning a lot of people off, but I think I see through that because of my 10 year old who has had severe tics since age like 3.

There’s no way he’s quitting, it’s clickbait. You don’t have to watch, but it’s been wild to see the videos ABOUT him asserting that he often says the opposite of what he actually says. A lot of the clipping also doesn’t contain the crew pushing back, or later when he does more learning the corrections and retractions, which he is very open about. I think a lot of the harm/drama came from people doing IRL abuse to him as a result of a lot of the out-of-context of straight up lying clips. He does himself no favors saying wild stuff for a shock reaction (which at the time is obviously hyperbole) but when it’s clipped, people take action…the “his kids eat dog poop” thing that got CPS to intervene in his house was the most recent obvious one.

It’s always click bait lol

This is so amazing. Dropping creeper boats. Can you put a tnt minecart in a boat and make aerial bombardment? I know you can’t ride a dangling boat…can you ride a dangling mule?

Nope, just a bored office worker kind of camping the space in case a large reddit exodus happens and needs a place to land. It is very low effort to get the phone notification and paste the link/title here.

It was better than expected, I don’t regret going. You could replace the game with any video game IP, but the Minecraft parts felt like they were done with love.

Can there be some form of exception, maybe prefixing the title with “Live Update:” and it affords some grace to changing titles?

The Poe seems to have admitted defeat after being completely unable to exile JoeHills.

Capitalism and socialism are a pendulum, acting as a response to each other and the exploitation of the flaws in the system. The real enemy is authoritarianism which defends whichever system is in power at the time.

I think they’ve been doing a better job of compartmentalizing it. There’s a bunch of good stuff; hungerFF calls in about his injury which is a lot. Since the sub-a-thon there’s been a lot less of the drama; there’s still a lot of it, but it’s more blocked off and can be skipped with chapters.

Muse is the scariest villain we have seen in the MCU.
