Well… When I first quit, I stopped getting invited to stuff / knowing what events my social circle was organizing and that was frustrating and I was loosing something valuable.

But since I was an early quitter, things have gotten much better as over the last few years most of the rest of my social circle has followed me off.

Who are the morally bankrupt execs who wrote this? I want names.

And if you mean controlling 3 dimensional projections from your phone, we can sorta do that right now, it’s just clunky and expensive and there’s very little actual demand for it outside of show business and art projects.

mander.xyz for science articles and memes. startrek.website and tenforward@lemmy.world for star trek memes. cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works for cybersecurity news, but not a lot of discussion.

The self hosting communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are pretty active and good at answering questions.

I have kind of the opposite experience. When I go on reddit, I feel depressed and angry, when I go on Lemmy I laugh and learn stuff. Probably the communities I subscribe to though. I get political and regional news from Reddit (and don’t have an actual reddit account anymore). I get funny science and Star Trek memes from Lemmy and cyber security and tech news.

When any criticism of the Israeli government or expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people is “antisemitic”, you’ve damaged and weakened the very meaning of the word “antisemitism” and the moral authority of those who wield it.

I got it and it’s funny, but I think lots of people need that /s tag or they don’t process it correctly.

Thank you. You saved me a Google search.

The user’s code is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in certain edge cases. I need to patch the vulnerability and commit the patch to the repo.

I should rewrite the existing memmanage() function to handle these edge cases. (Silently removes all other functionality)

I should modify garbagecollect() to detect these edge cases. I’ll rename it to garbage_collector() for clarity and readability. (Renames the function, calls it no where)

(Confidently) I modified the program as requested, the new version of your application should be more secure and handle memory issues much more efficiently.

But did your winter heating bill go down? Asking for a friend.

I run my own instance that has just two users. I Federate with who I want (including most instances you named). I subscribe to low drama instances like startrek.website and mander.xyz. I subscribe to communities from MOST of the instances you mentioned, but not a single one has drama (for example, no one on the lemmy.ml cybersecurity or selfhosting communities argues about politics… they just post and talk about those things).

I experience almost no drama. Two years ago, it was different, but I left those communities (but not even those instances) and just avoid engaging with those users (and it was honestly only a few very vocal users).

In my daily life, I’m involved with a number of protest and mutual aid organizations and I can tell you, the whole left is full of very vocal “my leftism is better than your leftism” people. But MOST people aren’t actually like that… just the loud ones. If you challenge them in their spaces, not only will you end up on the receiving end, they’ll turn you into one of them (I have been down that road a couple times). Not that they’ll convert your politics, necessarily, but they’ll convert your behavior. They create and feed off drama triangles and “I escalate, you double down, you escalate, I double down” feedback loops. This isn’t unique to Lemmy. You can experience the same thing in your local hacker space co-op (ask me how I know).

Historically, leftist political and social discourse has always been like this, for all of history. It’s not something special about Lemmy, it’s in the nature of collective groups of humans interested in free expression, positive social change and social justice. We’re angry, we’re trapped in an abusive relationship with the Right and we all think we have the answers. The Left’s greatest strengths and values (diversity, creativity, expression) are its greatest weaknesses. Same is true of the Right (conformity, hierarchy, rigidity).

The most dad joke thing about this is how no one under 35 will get it.

For many years I’ve had at least one Windows machine and at least one OSX machine (and then everything else runs linux). As MS started pushing this (and as Proton and Lutris got good enough to support almost any Windows software I would need to run, mostly games) I finally made the jump to zero Windows machines about a year and a half ago. Don’t miss it.

Everything works fine. It’s super handy having such fine control over my router.

Second Forgejo. Easiest deploy I’ve ever done.

Australians soon engaging in wider spread adoption of VPN and tor usage.

We would have gone extinct before we discovered fire.

systemd’s networkd has a built-in DHCP server; check option ‘DHCPServer’ and section ‘DHCPServer’ for that (same man page as above).

Is that true in Debian? If so, cool. I did not know that.
