Why can’t you just download them and delete the copy in Google photos?

No one person can control everything.

Doesn’t seem to be stopping you from trying!

Eh, I think you’re projecting. He literally owned his instance. He was playing with his own ball at his own house and you got “butthurt” because he didn’t want to play with you.

It’s no secret that a lot of people are attracted to Lemmy because they felt Reddit mods were too overbearing, but some of us like Lemmy because we didn’t think Reddit mods were doing enough about the overbearing users.

He said “this” experiment, not “the fediverse” which I interpreted to mean his instance (or perhaps Lemmy).

That said, I’m honestly curious what do you care about his “toxicty” if he’s not an admin of your instance? You don’t seriously believe you have a right to dictate what he does with his own hardware do you?

I’m glad we agree.

What did you interpret the premise to be? I read the post when it was up, and it read to me like OP was saying essentially that too many toxic users and not enough admins willing to stand up to them make the overall experience not fun.

EDIT: Which is accurate in my mind at least when it comes to Lemmy

Sounds like a major perk of that instance to me.

Man 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.

I wanted a very 90s web-feeling GIF of a TOS science division badge

Then I’d consider this silly little guy a success.

I don’t disagree, but OP didn’t ask for trend predictions. Anyone who tries to convince you “things” are worse today than than they were in 1995 is either trying to gaslight you, or doesn’t consider the experience of the LGBT community to be as equally valuable as everyone else.

Using a camera on public property in the EU is broadly very legal.

Using recycled parts is the best advice. As you said, it’s almost certainly overkill and the price can’t be beat.

Unless you’re part of a marginalized group I suppose.

This is a pretty dismissive take. “Sure, things have improved for the blacks and queers, but what about us… uh, regular folk?”

I have to assume that’s what it was trained on…

Thanks 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.

I love the notion that even Twitter users had too much empathy and the platform wasn’t getting Nazified fast enough on it’s own so they had to program a robot to go around and spread propaganda.

Not sure if you are looking for blogs but I this guy is a good writer: https://rys.io/en/index.html

I 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.

Hilarious that that account’s made a single comment pushing back on classic lemmy hysteria/paranoia and then apparently left the platform.

Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.
