I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Otter@lemmy.cato retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org•Commodore shocks retro TechTuber with option to buy 'the whole company'English30·9 days agoRight at the end of the video, there is a twist that may raise the graying eyebrows of Commodore fans around the globe. Perifractic reveals that he received a message direct from Commodore Corporation B.V. that states “yes we can grant you an exclusive license, but your team seems to know Commodore better than we do, we might like to sell you the whole company.”
What 😄
Sadly, we are left with this cliffhanger. Viewers are told to stay tuned for Part 2 of this video, “live and Let Buy.” But we don’t have a date for the video publication. Stay tuned, indeed.
:(
Otter@lemmy.cato Android@lemmy.world•Why tf are these reminder options so random? Is there no way to pick a few that are always the same?English5·18 days agoA different calendar app might have something better
If you have a common pattern, you could create a custom calendar with that pattern. For example, if you always want 3 reminders for this schedule:
- 10 minutes before
- 1 hour before
- 12 hours before
You can make a calendar with that preset, and then for any events that need that pattern, you set it to that calendar
Otter@lemmy.cato Programmer Humor@programming.dev•You can't "skill issue" yourself out from every situationEnglish79·23 days agoThere’s a quote along the lines of “User error is not a thing, the system allowed for the error through bad design”
Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I’d say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it’s a design problem
Otter@lemmy.cato Programming@programming.dev•Has anyone created an AI tarpit for images yet?English8·24 days agoIt might be easier to make a few images with some anti-AI patterns, and then give them randomly generated file names and paths. If needed, you could do some subtle transformations each time but generating a new image each time might be more effort than its worth
Here is a list
https://selfh.st/apps/?tag=Bookmarks
Karakeep (formerly Hoarder) is another popular one, although I haven’t tried it yet
Otter@lemmy.cato Web Development@programming.dev•Does anyone know the dev of perchance.orgEnglish1·1 month agoI see !perchance@lemmy.world, maybe you can post there and ask?
I’ll also tag @perchance@lemmy.world in case that is the developer
Otter@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Best tool for creating a basic business websiteEnglish3·1 month agoI think you want a static site generator
We use Vitepress for https://fedecan.ca/en/
https://vitepress.dev/guide/getting-started
If you want to selfhost it, there is https://www.coolify.io/ , but imo you want something like GitHub pages/ Netlify since it’s for your business
What kind of fediverse features did you want for the website? You might be better off making accounts on fediverse platforms and linking to the website
Otter@lemmy.cato Technology@beehaw.org•Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody WantsEnglish9·1 month agoI also remember seeing articles about how the design was meant to be very simple because it was going to be cost effective, and that they were experimenting with a manufacturing technique that would work better on Mars
Yea nope.
Instead now Slate Auto seems to be going for the cost effective minimalistic truck
https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/12/slate-auto-crosses-100000-refundable-reservations-in-two-weeks/
While Hyundai has put out some actual retro futuristic models

Nice :)
I made the promo post and scheduled the second one to go out in a few days: https://lemmy.ca/post/43840038
I’m not sure if 3D printing is the right term here, but it was cool nonetheless
Thanks! I’ve changed it now.
It looks like the icon and banner are broken, even on mander.xyz. @Bitswap@lemmy.world, were you in the process of updating those? It could be a cross instance moderation issue. Otherwise how are these:
Otter@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Has anyone ever considered a federated alternative to lyric platforms like Genius or Musixmatch?English9·2 months agoThe annotation system could benefit from federation. Users can submit any interpretation, and some of them will need to be moderated.
I can’t think of a format that would be compatible with other fediverse platforms. While it would be nice to be able to annotate from existing accounts or follow new updates to a song from Lemmy/Mastodon, the specifics would be complicated. Do people follow artists, albums, songs, lines of text? Sometimes people will want to annotate a single word, and other times a whole paragraph
However, the lyrics themselves would be better off with a system like Wikipedia
Otter@lemmy.cato Programming@programming.dev•anti-mass-follow-bot: Removes (blocks) mass follow bots from GitHubEnglish3·2 months agoCool, thanks for sharing it :)
Otter@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Fully self-hosted password manager optionsEnglish6·2 months agoThe autofill popup has always been unreliable for me on Android (with Bitwarden)
I use the quick settings tile most of the time instead
Otter@lemmy.cato Programming@programming.dev•Regarding ! coding_enthusiasts@lemmy.zipEnglish11·2 months agoLooks cool, you should definitely build the community the way you want to!
It’s sometimes easier to build up an existing community that already has a number of subscribers but could use more love and attention. Of course you can also cross post to and from that other community if you’d prefer to grow a new one.
In this case, I’m thinking of !learn_programming@programming.dev. If you wanted to, you could reach out and offer to help moderate
Otter@lemmy.cato Gaming@beehaw.org•Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEOEnglish10·2 months agoI assume that one was a joke, Ventrilo looks very out of date
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventrilo
Revolt is nice though. Once they finish upgrading the app, it would be an easy switch
I didn’t know about Fosscord (now called Spacebar it seems), it looks cool https://github.com/spacebarchat
Spacebar is a free, opensource selfhostable discord-compatible chat, voice and video platform.
- Discord-compatible (Use all your custom clients/bots with minimal changes)
- Selfhostable (Server)
- Open Source (GitHub Organization)
- Configurable (Configure every aspect and limits to your needs)
- Decentralized (no abuse of power and doesn’t have a single point of failure)
- Extendable (secure and cross-platform plugin system)
- Themeable (cross-platform theme system with design editor)
- Secure (publicly audited and hosted FOSS software for transparent foundation in terms of security)
I’m good with that too. A pinned post and sidebar list should help people know where to share content.
Otter@lemmy.caOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devicesEnglish3·2 months agoI think it’s a mix of the two. There are legitimate reasons, and commercial reasons
Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world’s largest manufacturers.
Organic Maps was on iOS, my guess is that it’ll take time to get a new app approved on the iOS store
