I don’t have an opinion about this.

College campuses. They almost always make me think that’s what utopia would be like.

It’s a single point of failure though.

I’d really love it if it would work automatically with many, many music sources (including streaming services like Apple Music) because my listening is all over the place. Plus it would be great if it had a SoundHound/Shazam-like feature to scrobble audio I hear when in public but don’t want to type to search or I’m not sure of the song title.

Great to hear it works with Plex. I hope it also works with Jellyfin.

Wemo switches work like normal switches when the network is out. They even run any schedules they knew about before the outage.

This button is primarily for turning the computer on.

Sure but you still need to turn it on though?

So many people referring to using the button to turn the computer off, but more than 95% of the time, you use the OS to turn a computer off. It’s only when there’s a malfunction you would need to turn it off with a hardware button.

Yes, that’s what you should do to run Windows.

And then use the noncompliant hardware for Linux.

How long ~~with~~ will working around the requirements work? If I need Windows, I’m not going to risk it.

 

I see more and more posts that are just a link to a video, post, or article. There’s no text in the description.

I’d like to see some of the article quoted and/or a brief reason this is currently being posted to Lemmy.

When it’s just a link, the cynical part of me thinks it’s just an SEO bot—especially if the account never posts any comments.

What are some ways to encourage posts that are more engaging?

Or should I just ignore, downvote, and/or block those doing this kind of posting?

 

edit: Thank you to all who answered! I’m amazed at how many ways you came up with to answer this.

 

Should all posts include a thought, opinion, or summary from the OP? Is a post title usually enough?

If you appreciate posts that just a link to a video, news article, blog post, or website with no post text by the OP, why do you like them?
