  • Change to subscribed
    On KBin the default view is similar to /r/all this can be changed to limit your view to only magazines/communities you are subscribed to by going:

    • Select your account name in top right corner
    • Select ‘Settings’ from the account context menu
    • Select ‘Subscription’ from the ‘Homepage’ drop down
    • Select ‘Save’ on the settings page

    This will change your default URL to https://<insance url>/sub (e.g. https://kbin.social/sub). This will change your feed to the top/newest/hottest from your subscribed magazines/communities.

    Time Filter
    If you look at the KBin screen, you will notice a filter by time option. Look for the navigation bar with hottest/newest/etc… on it on that bar is a upwards arrow and 4 lines representing a triangle (its normally used as a sort symbol). That will let you set time limits similar to those mentioned in this post (e.g. 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 1t (is 1 week).

    Microblogs
    Its also worth looking at the ‘microblogs’ feature under /sub as that will focus on mastodon messages/kbin microblogs with hashtags associated with your magazines/communities.

    You can ask KBin to subscribe to people you find through Mastodon, due to the rate changes various twitter users are migrating around. I find KBin a nicer way to read their content.


  • Just to add.

    Look at any hobby in your life and break out the money spent vs the enjoyment you got out of it.

    For example the Cinema costs me £10 and a film is 2 hours long, meaning my fun time costs £5 per hour.

    A £100 console would have to provide me 20 hours entertainment for it to be comparable to going to the cinema.

    These days any PS4 game will have 10-40 hours content, but buying them costs money. Popping on CEX website the most expensive PS4 games are £12. Assuning you only get 10 hours of fun from a game…

    The question you should ask yourself is are there 3 games on the PS4 you are interested in playing?


  • So reading twitter…

    It seems much of the “Ammunition shortage” Prigozhin was loudly complaining about was stock pilling. Similarly much of Wagnar was pulled out of Ukraine to rebuild.

    There have been suggestions Prigozhin was planning to launch an attack on Sunday but the Russian MoD attacked a Wagner site forcing him to launch a day early.

    One tweet suggested Wagner soliders had been calling family all day (e.g. before a big operation).

    Seizing Rostok Von Don was a clever initial play, since its a major logistics hub. This allowed him to arm his troops and provides a base if the coup fails.

    It seems the South Military District gave up without a fight, with soliders surrendering.

    Prigozhin has sent a shock force to Moscow, its bypassing major cities and trying to get there ASAP. There is a belief senior Kremlin officials will abandon ship.

    Various helicopters are attacking the shock force but it seems Wagner are using air defence. Various MI-8, KA-52 and a ll-s2 have been shown destroyed.

    The Tik Tok bigrade are trying to attack Rostok, considering they aren’t “true Russians” and were used as barrier troops, this doesn’t seem to be going down well. They are also stripping Donetsk of defenders to do this.



  • I think there is a focus on C/C++ to justify Pythons performance.

    There have been times when the performance of Node js/Python were part of the reasoning for choosing Java/Scala.

    Each time you are regaled with how Python is C/C++ underneath and so faster. Each time you have to ask if they will write C/C++ libraries to ensure the application performance meets our needs.

    Similarly any time you go near lambas you get a comment on how python lambdas are faster because its C running, where as Java has to start a virtual machine, etc…
