I never agreed with it. Yes there’s bots on the internet, but people are here too. The majority of lemmy is people, not bots. User facing websites are people, there’d be no reason to have bots post things just so other bots can see it. If that was the purpose, websites would just spew json formatted content around instead of someone building intricate websites full of css and shitty javascript.

There is a whole different internet though. One with devices like sensors, connecting to servers and posting numbers into databases. Automated code connecting everywhere for data aggregation. There’s also everything other than HTTP.

Loada of sites just dont work in FF.

Which ones? I want to see for myself what I’m missing out on.

In my mind, nothing with a circuit board is disposable. Pains me to see it.

The dream is still alive in small countries the corporations don’t care about! I sail in vast oceans without VPN.

Oh wow! Switzerland! How did you get so big!?

Oh man, I’ve thought about this many many times. I don’t know shit about real pinball tables so I had no idea if it were actually possible, but I leaned more towards probably not. The physics didn’t seem recreateable. I even thought about how I’d probably put a small vacuum pump for the gravity hole in the center!
I hope they succeed and I hope it feels as authentic as possible.

Depends on which part? Tldr; mostly no.
The user facing software can do everything including control all the exotic hardware components like the dispenser module and knows how to talk to the atm or bank network to do transactions. That thing is closed.
The operating system can vary from linux based to windows based. I’ve seen machines which boot into the desktop and just start the app. If you had a keyboard, you could alt tab back to the desktop lol. They’re often made in Java.
The drivers and control software for the mechanical components (dispenser, card reader…) are also proprietary. There’s a specification for how communication between software and these devices is done, called WS/XFS. Not open source, but you can get it and read it to understand better how the software communicates with the hardware.

I did and expected to find an image in the article. See, had I posted this on lemmy, I’d have posted an article closer to the source, with the photos. I assumed others would do the same. I assume too much, sorry.

Why no photo?
Seems like a photo of a pipe dislodging black sludge next to a photo of a tesla factory in a news page would instill a better sense of “evil corporation” to me.

How useful is this in the grand scheme of things if the applications themselves don’t have a 10ft UI? I guess you’d need to limit yourself and find apps specifically made to be shown on a TV… within a repository that caters desktop apps. Blending TV’s and desktops is hard…

Why say lot word when few word do trick?

Struck by*

Disregard that. I read something wrong… apparently it was about the store only and is old news.

I recently (a year ago) bought my first portable PS system, a Vita. Fantastic console, thriving ‘underground’ community. Just caught the tail end of all its online services working before they’ll be shut down this year.

The bar has fallen hasn’t it? Dubya had a lower rating and he at least handled himself with more decorum than Trump even has the capacity for. This 33 needs to drop below 20.

Just a euphemism to get rid of the common denominator and if you have a desire to learn, you will be going beyond what the average person knows about computers. An immich server is not a particularly difficult thing to achieve. Think about hardware first, where it will run and where you want something running 24/7 (or not?). Then move to OS and software. Once you got it working locally, think about backups and how you will access it from the internet as your next steps.
If you are a “learn as you go” type, you already have a goal and that’s exactly what you need to start.
Sorry I’m being so abstract, but anything else and I’d just be giving you a guide lol.

I’ve had zero problems installing it and exposing it on one of my subdomains via nginx. I thought it was one of the easiest things to install and configure. Like, no errors or unknowns when installing.
That being said, this isn’t something the average user will be or even should be doing. Its a niche product for the tech literate, not an alternative for what cloud providers are offering. I’d not recommend it to anyone who can’t tell the difference between “wifi” and “internet”.

A dog dies twice. The first time is when its soul leaves its body, and the second time is when the meme of it is posted the last time.

Why not just debian if its a server?
