Ok, that makes sense. I haven’t read a ton of technical critiques of ActivityPub. Any recommendations?

…? Interesting thing to share on Lemmy…

I’m hearing mixed things. Do you have a Kindle? It might not show up unless you’ve set one up. Maybe that’s it?

lol this is a GREAT idea!

Kinda think “The #2 Amazon result is an erotic novel where she’s a bat monster” is probably not a good look

Melania: Devourer of Men

That’s a fair point, and in a comment above I asked if there’s any way to make this trend without purchasing it. Like, maybe there’s a way to do it by search volume, or adding it to our carts? I genuinely don’t know enough about the Amazon platform to know, but maybe someone here does!

Key questions:

• Is there any way to get the book trending without buying it? It’s only $1, so if we all have to buy it that’s not so bad, but would love to find another way if possible.

• If we want it to trend on the 30th, do we take action that day? Or do we need to start earlier? Like the day before?

Anyone here know how Amazon works?

Thank you!!!

Thank you! I’m still figuring out my goals here… Could I ask for your recommendation, given the following?

Primary goal: Access my music library from any of my devices (Android, MacOS, Linux), wherever I am in the world, hopefully without paying anyone (or at least not paying a LOT).

Secondary goal (Not sure if I want to do this yet): Let a group of about 12 friends access my library

These responses are SO helpful and I’m genuinely learning so much here. Thank you everyone!

The ADL also doesn’t recognize a sieg heil if Elon Musk does it. They do not exist to protect Jews, they exist to protect Zionism.

Nah, I had them buy me a used Mac Mini for $50. But you’re right: if they made me get an iPhone it would have been on them

Wish I could say! But many influential people in tech/media/politics are iMessage diehards, and she was no exception

In my case, I worked for someone who only communicated via iMessage. When I got hired they said, “Either get an iPhone or figure out some magical way to get iMessage on Android.”

Are there any launchers that have Nova’s 2 best features?

1. Swipe-to-open folders (with tap to open the first item in the folder)
2. Set any icon you want as an app icon?

I’ve tried Lawnchair and it was missing these 2 features. I will switch to any launcher that supports these!

I didn’t read Solrize’s comment as saying “There shouldn’t be paywalls,” just asking the very legitimate question as to how they will interact with federation.

Interestingly, 404 just solved something kinda related: they developed a way for subscribers to get a custom RSS feed address, so they can access paywalled articles directly in their RSS reader. TMK, they are the first publication to do this. I imagine they would do something similar for federation. (I believe that if any of the custom RSS feeds show huge traffic numbers, 404 shuts it down, but I’m not sure)

There’s a push to get OpenReads to work with BookWyrm
