Still no API to enable official apps and no moderation tools. It really feels like it's lagging behind Lemmy at this point. Lemmy's growth has significantly outpaced kbin and it feels like it's going to just die a slow death now.

EDIT: Case in point, there are 3 comments on this thread and I cannot see any of them.

And Nintendo will "once again" outsell hardware that out performs theirs.

Namecheap ups its prices 9% for .com and .xyz this fall. by roofuskit in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I've been with namecheap a long long time now. They rarely raise prices and it's usually because upstream costs go up and everyone is raising prices. I'm a happy customer and ain't switching. I don't get bothered for endless upgrades. I only get emails when my domains come up for renewal or on the very rare occasion this happens.

1,000% increase in dark web threat actors targeting macOS by roofuskit in c/technology@beehaw.org

Apple used to brag about how Macs didn't get viruses. I used to laugh because it wasn't that they were that much more secur but because their market share was too small to be a profitable target.

Now they've cultivated the perfect target user base. A large collection of tech ignorant or adverse people who have lots of money to burn.

Compatible USB 2.5gbe adapter? (kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago by roofuskit@kbin.social to c/unraid@reddthat.com

Anyone know of a USB 3.2 gen2 or lower 2.5gbe adapter that works well with Unraid? I know it's my old friend Slackware under the hood but I'm not sure how far that will get me since it seems to be pretty well stripped down. I'm fresh out of PCIe slots in my little box but have plenty of USB 3.2 gen2 ports to go around since the only USB device I use is my UPS.

The last couple of years we’ve been having fun with some comic experiments during the Summer holiday. Last year, we introduced Lion & Gazelle, who even stuck around because we enjoy the format and how it divers from our normal comics. We also had some fun with euro game covers and before that, we had… Continue reading

Only two kinds of people believe in infinite growth; economists and psychopaths.

Starbucks notification settings — only 1: "promotions and order status" by roofuskit in c/assholedesign@lemmy.world
[-] roofuskit@kbin.social 91 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I actually think this might be a violation of the developer agreement for the play store. You should report the app and see what happens.

The ideal solution would be to just not buy Starbucks.

Student Monitoring Tools Should Not Flag LGBTQ+ Keywords (www.eff.org)

One of the more dangerous features of student monitoring tools like GoGuardian, Gaggle, and Bark is their “flagging” functionality. The tools can scan web pages, documents in students’ cloud drives, emails, video content, and more for keywords about topics like sex, drugs, and violence. They then...

YSK if you overwrote your comments and posts that Reddit is restoring them to previous states (kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago by roofuskit@kbin.social to c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world
15 comments fedilink

Why YSK: Because you may delete your account and find your comments and other content is restored and beyond your control.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT YET.

Keep overwriting your comments over and over so they cannot just roll them back a single edit.

I prefer Power Delete Suite as it does not need authorization and just uses the website through your own browser. I will continue to overwrite my comments on repeat until the API changes.
