I mean, I dual-boot Mint now. And at least you don’t come after me for DOS, because that would get me defensive…

Finally we agree.

Please explain this for a DOS/Windows user?

Wife? What’s that? My Wi-Fi isn’t free, though.

They’re for iOS, because the main tablet is an iPad. The first one is Clime (which used to be called NOAA Radar), and the second is called MyRadar.

WP Engine has always seemed a very weird business to me. WP is free, and many hosting & domain providers just offer it for free with your hosting. If you don’t want to host yourself, why not just use WP.com and do a redirect? I’ve just never understood the value-add.

Don’t be shocked when ninjas appear.

Have you ever seen the movie “The Thirteenth Floor”? It’s like that.

I mean that I have two different radar apps along with the Accuweather software. I look at it both for long-term and short-term forecasts. The last time I had a dedicated device just to do weather with the granularity and scale that I have on my tablet, the unit was called a home weather center (and required both GPS and internet access).

Commenting so that I remember to look it up, is reckfull a word? Or maybe reckful, knowing how English is weird about double 'l"s?

Thank goodness for that. Because their next step would be to cozy up to the ex-Kroger jerk who’s now in charge of Costco, I’m sure of it.

Better yet, I’ll request the admin specifically to federate with Threads, so that I can move across the stuff that I care about to mbin from the Threads app.

At least it’s not Windows?

Most people aren’t - they’ve given up the fight.

I hope so. Maybe make it a class-action with all the independent creators and studios who had damages from this.

Yes, which is why we should make every one of those false positives cost an arm and a leg to the perpetrators.

If it’s harder to use than Dailymotion, Odysee or Rumble, most people won’t use it. Creators, certainly, won’t consider it. The thing that made YT, Dailymotion, Vimeo, etc., big is that you didn’t have to necessarily worry about the “hard stuff”. You just shoot the video and push the upload button.

PeerTube needs more instances with the push-button option for creators to adopt the platform at first. The big challenge is, no matter what you do for compression or P2P or whatever-have-you, someone, somewhere, will have to pay for it. If it’s not creators, it’ll have to be either the viewers (not happening when the platforms listed above are free-to-watch), advertisers (not happening if the user base is too small and the content isn’t brand-suited), or sponsors (not happening if the user base is small and made up of free/libre/pirate enthusiasts). That’s part of the issue with PeerTube’s adoption and I don’t see a way to overcome it. We need an equivalent to mastodon.social or lemmy.world for the video side of the fediverse. Trust that creators and communities will break off, but have a canonical location with very few limits. Preferably you also would prefer that said canonical location doesn’t defederate from anybody.

My worry is that without a lawsuit or other action, we’ll keep seeing LLM slop companies taking down smaller websites for bogus reasons. This needs to be codified somehow that there were damages done to Itch’s earnings (and more importantly the earnings of the independent creators on the platform who should start a class-action suit), and that what Funko’s contracted LLM company did was wrong.

There’s financial damages, loss of profit, emotional distress, reputation loss, and more. We need to take action against these companies for their wrongdoing. So either they need to willingly pay up and have that payment be known and public, or they need to be made to pay by the courts.

Thank goodness. PeerTube needs wider adoption. We need creators as much as we need consumers.

I agree with you about watches. Tablets though, I disagree. I have several different tablets and they do different things in my workflow from my laptops or phones. My tablets can be an ebook reader, weather center, and video viewer. One of them, I read comic books on. They’re easier to use for those purposes than my laptop. I would need a second monitor to do those things, and I would need to switch it to tate mode for comic books and other ebooks to be comfortable for me to read. Plus, I couldn’t read easily in bed or somewhere like that even with the form factor of the smallest netbook in my collection.
