  • Who are your instant watch/listen/read media producers?

    Jump

  • [Tina] Fey / [Robert] Carlock

    They're the team behind "30 Rock", "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and several others.

    Also Jack Burditt who produced both of those and many other shows I've enjoyed such as "Just Shoot Me" and "Frasier".

  • PBS. Even YT revenue is revenue.

    Jump

  • That gets PBS more exposure, sure, and that's great because they put out quality content, but do they get paid for that? I'm genuinely curious here as I know little of how YT pays content creators. I've had a recurring monthly donation going for years now, and I just don't yet understand if/how simply subscribing could replace even a portion of that.

  • PBS. Even YT revenue is revenue.

    Jump

  • How does that work? Does YT pay out to creators based on the subscriber count alone? I've only ever heard "like and subscribe to help fund this channel" mentioned when the videos are monetized (e.g ads or sponsors).

    Or does PBS monetize their videos and uBlock just shields me from that?

    Not that I don't want this to be true since it's an easy way to help fund them, but I am curious how (or if) this works.

  • If you use electricity from NPP to heat your house, water or to cook, you're using the heat of uranium at your home.

  • I'm about to have my house powered by fusion energy.

    I'm installing a PV system, and solar energy is just fusion power at a distance.

  • Hosting a matrix server with synapse, how do you handle registration?

    Jump

  • Mine's only for people I know personally, so it's backed by my LDAP server and registration is disabled in Synapse. I use my regular onboarding process to create the new LDAP user and grant access to Synapse.

  • How would you go about reaching North Sentinel Island undetected and integrating into their community?

  • In theory you might be able to pass yourself off as some kind of supernatural figure, but not without knowing anything about their belief system first.

  • Where are the AI user communities on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Nice. I've pretty much just used LibreTranslate for that, but will check that out and see if it works any better.

  • What misconception are you tired of being spread?

    Jump

  • so it's 30% not 20%

    Fair. I was going by population numbers vs votes cast and didn't have the voter turnout numbers handy when I originally wrote that out and was paraphrasing from that to save time.

    But that's still far from half, and I'm tired of people using the misconception/phrase to justify their xenophobic rhetoric.

  • What misconception are you tired of being spread?

  • "Half of Americans voted for this"

    No, half the people who actually showed up to vote voted for the guy, but not necessarily all he is and has been doing. It's actually only about 20-22% or less of the population that actually voted this guy into office and fewer than that are on board with current events. Far from "half of Americans", so just stop it.

  • It's just way too much!

  • I understand where OOP is coming from re: social media screenshots as memes but I'll still have a bit of fun meme-ing the dilemma. No hard feelings, OOP, and I agree with you.

  • Where are the AI user communities on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • The only one I currently follow is !localllama@sh.itjust.works

    I'm not anti-AI, but I am very much anti Big AI and also don't personally care for AI-generated images (they just look...uncanny to me), so I don't have much interest in anything beyond the tools I can run locally.

    Searching "AI" has a lot of false positives, but searching "llama" has some results at https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=llama

  • How many of these "What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?" replies have aged like milk, and which have aged like wine?

    Jump

  • All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.

    4G modem breakout + Linux computer as alternative to a phone

  • Here's a write-up I read not too long ago and answers many of your questions, though the author is mostly concerned with getting data access going. Short answer is yes, most will "just work" provided you use the correct modes and configs.

    https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/using-4g-lte-wireless-modems-on-raspberry-pi/

    do linux apps working as contact list/dialer/SMS receiver/sender exist?

    Those all fall under what's called the IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and is often problematic implementing in open source. If I recall, Ubuntu Touch has a (mostly?) working IMS implementation but I don't recall if it's universally functional or limited to specific devices/carriers. Some WWAN cards will allow calls/texts, but those are usually in "3G" mode which is rapidly disappearing as carriers switch to VoLTE or VoNR/Vo5G (which are basically just fancy VoIP).

    If you're willing to forego traditional carrier voice/messaging, you can use any number of messaging apps that work on Linux and/or combine that with a 3rd party VoIP provider for PSTN calling/phone number and SMS/MMS. Just don't expect to get RCS messaging going; even on Android proper, you're limited to Google Messages only.

  • We call them "turtles".

    Ingredients:

    • Hamburger patty
    • Salt/pepper
    • Onion
    • Diced potato
    • Butter

    Prep:

    Put the burger patty on a sheet of aluminum foil, salt/pepper to taste, and throw the onion slices, butter, and diced potatoes on and around it. Fold the rest of the foil around it to seal it up. Toss it on the hot coals of the campfire for about an hour. Eat right out of the foil.

    These aren't part of the "turtles", but we also usually wrap an ear of corn in foil with some butter, salt, and pepper and throw it on the coals alongside them.

  • How do you pronounce zebra in your country: zeebra or rhymes with Debra?

    Jump

  • US: "Zeebra"

    I would venture a guess that countries that say "Z" as "Zee" pronounce it "zeebra" where countries that say Z as in "Zed" pronounce it zebrah like "Debra".

    Why do most adults around social media think that you are allergic to wisdom until youre 18?

  • screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

    Emphases mine. So many parents just plop their kid down in front of a TV or tablet and use it like a babysitter. They don't teach kids media literacy and just let "the algorithm" keep them entertained so they can have some peace and quiet. And that's assuming the parents have the requisite media literacy to pass on - many don't.

  • Nice! Those AllWinner boards are a little tricky to get going and have some quirks, but the price is great for the extra horsepower you get. Granted, I use the latest Armbian since the manufacturer's images are all quite old.
