I find them online and use javascript to rip them into a text file and use @Voice premium on android to read/listen to the text files. I got the premium @Voice because I didn’t realize how much of a staple having an app that can read most types of files was going to be.

I was a fan too, but lost the portable version I was using when my usb died. The version I pulled off git now freezes every 10 seconds and closes itself down a lot. Not sure how they made it worse but it’s worse now.

Even just eating like 5 olives makes things extra smooth down the line >.>

Yeah, pics or it didn’t happen… oh wait, we can literally generate the pics now… shit. Guess we’re out here in the wild west these days…

low-effort gossip from people hate-posting news

Thank you for the terms. Couldn’t find them anywhere. Made it hard to fit my comments in with communities not realizing this was the meta.

I used Heimdall when I was self-hosting in the cloud for a bit. Didn’t have any issues.

are just interested in Twitter news.

From the way I’m interpreting that… shouldn’t that demand for ‘just twitter news’ lead to a new community for that specifically? Like if it’s really that interesting to enough people, wouldn’t that be the better outcome?

Nono, that’s a feature. They still make money off those ads while you’re paying not to see them.

Nah fuck brainwashing. You won’t cry about it.

Nobody reads anymore.

Yep, it’s an easy fix. There’s better ways to get information about events that matter to you than corporate sponsored fear-mongering… I mean “the news.”

It’s not robots though, it’s math. Which, from having gone to public school… generally translates to “magic” <insert hand waving> to most people.

Was planning on making it one anyways >.>

ublock still an mvp

It’s an artifact of the protocol. Because different lemmy instances exist and only federate here when someone from this instance subscribes you either need an instance that doesn’t block any federations and make that your home instance so the ALL designation actually encompasses all of your unknown unknowns or just settle for the ones people from this instance federate with. Either way, I think defaulting your language through settings is the easiest way to block the foreign languages content. The sports content is trickier to block because if you had like a browser plugin that just hides posts/communities with ‘Sports’ or ‘Teams’ in their titles you’d have the side effect of blocking non-sports related content (at least with the ‘teams’ one). I haven’t done any research personally into whether there are instances that have incorporated this as a feature or if anyone’s made a plugin like that though. Hope you find a solution!

Why I haven’t delved back into any persistent self-hosting yet.

False Dichotomy: The message presents only two options: either adopt someone or support the hypothetical alternative, which is framed quite negatively as ‘murdering the children’. This is a false dichotomy because there are many other potential courses of action and viewpoints someone could have on the topic in question.

Ad Hominem: The phrase “would you just prefer murdering the children instead?” is an ad hominem attack, targeting the person instead of addressing the argument or issue at hand. Ad hominem attacks are often used as a distraction technique and they are logically fallacious because they don’t actually engage with the argument itself.

Red Herring: The reference to being unable to afford a house is a red herring – it’s a point that may seem related, but it’s actually not relevant to the question of adoption. One’s ability to afford a house has no inherent connection to one’s ability or willingness to adopt a child.
