!90smusic@lemmy.world is my pet community. Basically an oldies station for Millennials.

[Hits bong] Over water, a boat going too fast becomes a plane and a plane going too slow becomes a boat.

I don’t even like the few phones I had with the headphone jack on the top.

This would be a good post for !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world as long as you expand on why you think that.

Is there a community about Matrix on Lemmy?

!matrix@programming.dev

Is Matrix technically part of the fediverse?

I would say no. It doesn’t use ActivityPub and is its own thing. It’s federated in that indepedent Matrix servers can talk to each other (like email or Nextcloud). So while email would be considered a federated service, it’s not considered part of the fediverse. At most, it’s like a 2nd cousin.

Who is the developer/team and do they have an active presence on the fediverse?

Matrix.org foundation (https://matrix.org/) and not sure. Maybe some of the individual contributors do, but I don’t know any off the top of my head

Although when I sold mine, we had people literally break our counter during a viewing

I’m assuming your state based on the dubvee lol

lol, yeah.

I went through inspection and appraisal 5 years ago when I refinanced, so that’s all fine. But I would lose my insanely good mortgage (15 year at 2.2% APR) and have to start again with whatever current rates are though I could likely put down a very large down payment.

I wasn’t seriously considering the offer so much as wondering how legit it was in preparation to sit down and think about thinking about considering the offer lol. But the replies here have cleared up how predatory these offers are, so, yeah, it’s going in the trash with the rest of the similar offers.

Nothing wrong with a realtor, but I’d have to have somewhere to move to while it’s on the market which could be any length of time. I only skimmed the offer, but it mentioned something about transition period for moving, etc.

I was mostly hoping this would let me short-circuit the usual process of selling and moving, letting me get the money for it, and find somewhere temporary while I look for something permanent.

Other than just wanting out of this awful state, I really don’t want to move/sell. I’d worry about finding another job later as I work remotely now but am expected to go in on occasionally so couldn’t work from another state for too long.

But as the replies have made clear, this entire industry is more of a scam than I assumed it already was, so I’m just gonna keep buying lotto tickets and hoping for the best.

That makes sense, and is most likely what the offer is. House isn’t a slum, and I’m not facing foreclosure, so I guess they think they can make a profit on it.

I wasn’t seriously considering it, but I was at least looking into it because, yeah, I want out of here.

The default UI makes it clunky, but I think you can go to you profile settings (https://lemmy.world/settings) and on the “Blocks” tab search for the community and add it to your blocks.

Bombadil was referred to as “The Hermit” before they revealed his identity when GrandElf (aka Gandalf née The Stranger) crosses paths with him.

Someone said if you forget it’s LOTR and just treat it as its own thing it’s not half bad.

Basically. I don’t forget it’s LOTR but I do keep in mind it’s not the Peter Jackson trilogy nor a 1:1 from the books.

I was really really hoping it was going to be about the fall of Numenor.

It is, but it’s slow burn and a something of an overall B-plot to the titular Rings of Power in the second season and the creation of Mordor in the first.

The main online gripe that I can agree with how the characters “fast travel” as plot demands. I just accept that as necessary to condense things down to a suitable runtime for a TV series.

He’s in Rings of Power which I guess counts as a derivative. I don’t want to start a flame war since a lot of people hate that adaptation, but I enjoy it for what it is.

It’s probably an April Fool’s Day gag.

Xylight is the photon dev

It’s just there and under the same domain. Otherwise, it’s a completely separate system that instance users can sign up and use. Maybe in the future they can both use the same OIDC login, but I don’t think Lemmy supports that yet.

The UI we use as our default has Peertube integration, so any videos shared from this Peertube instance (or any other) will show as inline embeds within the Lemmy client.

• Curated, “normie friendly” default experience
• Default UI is not Lemmy UI
• PeerTube instance (though not fully integrated and requires a separate account)

Quite reliably, yeah. The only limitation is I can’t root my current device, so the mapped keys can only work when the screen is on. But the volume keys will wake the screen up, so I just hit it once normally then hold to mute or change tracks or whatever.

You can do that with KeyMapper, and I have a lot of custom actions set up with it.

I have double-press volume down set to toggle mute, though, since I’m already using long press of vol up and down to do next/prev track for my music player.

Regardless, I cannot recommend KeyMapper enough. It’s pretty fantastic.

509 reviews as I write this and still 0 downloads and zero of those 509 reviews have any text; they just have ratings.

Nope. I’ve had ^Reddit as one of my regex community filters for some time now.

That’s awesome. Hope it works out well for you because, yeah, having a truck on hand is incredibly useful. Even maintaining it (taxes, insurance, etc) is less hassle than renting a truck when you need one or having to shell out for delivery.
