James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@programming.dev•Where’s Firefox going next? You tell us.English16·4 days agoMan I am the complete opposite. I need my browser to display the Web with tons and tons of tweaks and adjustments and filters in place to make it actually readable for me. Rawdogging the Web in 2025 is wild.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Just a silly little GIF(English0·4 days agoI wanted a very 90s web-feeling GIF of a TOS science division badge

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto homeassistant@lemmy.world•IKEA moves to Thread (and away from Zigbee)English0·10 days agoThanks for the explainer, that last point is really great actually and I’m surprised that Amazon/Google etc are pushing for Matter if the data isn’t sent to the internet.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto homeassistant@lemmy.world•IKEA moves to Thread (and away from Zigbee)English0·11 days agoI am just getting started on this journey but zigbee seems great and I like that it works fine even if the wifi goes down. I’m not sure what the drawbacks are or the benefits of Matter.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fediverse@lemmy.world•The Fediverse Passport: A needed tool.English10·17 days agoI like where your head’s at, but Mastodon’s system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn’t rely on a third party.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitlesEnglish0·17 days agoFor YouTube tutorial videos I have no issue with relying on GPT, but I think it’s important to recognize that the translation of art is art. I don’t feel good about the idea of something without a soul or perspective interpolating a work of art from one culture and language into another that might be wildly different from where it started.
That all said, I think Crunchyroll and anyone else using AI art without disclosing it absolutely should be honest about it.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish19·19 days agoThat’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish663·18 days agoAnyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like “Torvalds Drops support After Clash!”

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•lemm.ee has shut down for goodEnglish0·20 days agoI think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.
Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@programming.dev•Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?English1·21 days agoNot positive but IIRC with Fedora you can change updates to weekly/monthly etc.
