Is there a selfhosted option for webcomics?

Jump

  • Kapowarr is for comic books, OP is looking for comic strips.

    That said it should be great for finding collected editions.

    • How normal people are using LLM's

    Jump

  • There’s a need to skim through all the crap to find what’s valuable

    But that's literally already the job of a search engine?

    • "The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot."

    Jump

  • I have a long list of things I disliked about the JJ Abrams movies, but the casting was certainly nowhere on it.

    • "The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot."

    Jump

  • ? it doesn't say anything about prequels?

  • Nice to see they are still working a Trek movie, and also nice to see (IMO) that it could be connected to the main timeline.

  • Oof $4300 USD. Though I suppose if you're replacing a car (which it looks like you could do with this one) it's justifiable.

    • Automated dishwasher state

    Jump

  • Ah I missed that. That's great! I should look into it.

    • /r/RedditAlternatives - "I like the idea of the fediverse but it's never gonna get popular."

    Jump

  • Happy to see that it's getting downvoted.

    • I feel like the AI bubble has began bursting

    • Automated dishwasher state

    Jump

  • So the automation is triggered if the power draw is above a certain amount? I assume there is a smart plug? Or is it a dishwasher with Wifi? Forgive me still learning how these things work.

    • The 1977 Coleco Telstar Arcade answered a design question that amazingly no one had asked before: "What if a game console looked like a Wild West take on the TARDIS console?"

    Jump

  • Modern controller design has truly missed the mark

    • 'The Truth Is Paywalled.' Internet Vets Lament the State of the 'Open' Web

    Jump

  • Yeah exactly, well said. I think for a lot of people the advent of paywalls felt like taking away a free thing, instead of a return to the norm. Personally when it comes to journalism I prefer a paywall to advertiser-supported.

    • 'The Truth Is Paywalled.' Internet Vets Lament the State of the 'Open' Web

    Jump

  • The argument that paywalls somehow ruin the open parts of the Web always fell flat for me. It is trivial to contribute to the Web for free if one wishes. Nobody is forced to paywall their content.

    • /r/RedditAlternatives post - "A good alternative to Reddit? "

    Jump

  • Yeah, nine times out of ten someone who wants "free speech" on the web means they want to force others to listen.

  • The nice thing about Fedi is that slur-loving people can have their space that allows slurs, but people who don't want slurs can de-federate.

    • CBS News just gutted its climate team

    Jump

  • John Oliver did a deep dive into her recently. It's not good. She brands herself as a moderate but is essentially in lockstep with most MAGA views. The owners of CBS are gutting everything that's left of the storied CBS brand to enrich themselves.

    • Whats up with AI today ?

    Jump

  • I'm only seeing information about ChatGPT, Sora, Claude and Gemini... Where is the news about AI?

    • The AI hype

    Jump

  • It is lol the dead giveaway is there's no watermark or artist credit
