  • If i found a genie, one of my 3 wishes would be that reddit was viewed like Wikipedia. It should be a non-profit. I’d gladly donate to keep the servers up. I do that for Lemmy now.

    If I want to know something, I’m either looking at Wikipedia for general information, or reddit for specific. The odds that someone else has asked the same question on reddit it weirdly high. Even Google acknowledged that there search results went to shit because of the blackouts. How did we let such a wealth of knowledge get caught up in profits.

    I love Wikipedia. Even if it has flaws, it’s by far one of the best things we’ve created a humanity.




  • Up voted for this. I have a bunch of Yolink products. It all works seamlessly. I’ve got motion lights setup. I have my bathroom exhaust fan set to turn on at a specific humidity level. I’ve got their door locks, garage door opener. Hell, I’ve got the float switch set to tell me when my dogs need more water.

    They have so many products and they all work together very well. It truly feels like a smart home now and it’s all the same brand so I don’t have to worry about compatibility problems or using a third party software. I do have them linked to home assistant for the few things I have from other brands. But I can’t reccomend Yolink enough



  • I absolutely love my induction stove. I’ve been Wanting one forever, can’t justify the price to run upgrade my electrical panel and run a 240v line (I have gas now). Finally decided to get a cheap countertop model (duxtop). It’s night and day. Holy shit. It boils water faster than I could imagine. It’s Hotspot is a little small for a cast iron pan, but works perfectly with steel pans. Gets hot very quick, cools off quick. Way easier to clean. I absolutely love it.

    Eventually I’ll get a full sized one, but for now, 2 burners is enough.







  • The app looks great! Feels very fluid.

    I have only three requests:

    • make it FOSS in spirit of the fediverse (obviously you don’t have to, that’s your choice)
    • give me a way to download pics from inside the app. I very often download memes and share them in other chats. You’ve got open external, which works, but it’s an extra step. Downloading in app would just be more convenient.
    • lastly, give me a way to buy you a beer 😁
