Feels like a copypasta

I’ve already seen number 1 happen. I’ve had a completely unacceptable amount of non-nsfw tagged porn hit my front page being posted to various Lemmy.world communities, all by shitjustworks users. I’m getting pretty close to abandoning the platform myself because I don’t need that shit coming up on my phone when I’m just trying to browse
Edit: that said, I’m not going back to Reddit. I’ll just abandon this type of site altogether and spend more meaningful time with my family and read more books
How about Apico?
Is there a point where there are so many instances that propagating all that data is too taxing and worse than having fewer bigger instances?
Yeah, I’m cautiously optimistic that if they do truly join the fediverse, we’ll finally have our real twitter replacement (aka relatively community friendly tech that’s accessible to people who don’t want to hear the word instance, AND the big benefit that basically everybody already has an instagram account). I haven’t used twitter since the musk takeover, but a lot of people whose opinions and reporting I care about still do. Most of them never bothered with the migration to mastodon, although lots of them are on bluesky. I’m hoping that the easy of availability of Threads gets them over there, and that the fediverse connection doesn’t take too long so I can start to interact with them via Mastodon without having to agree to all those permissions. Sorry, kinda lost the plot there.
I get why too. I’m a full stack (including devops) software engineer, and docker/k8s is just completely opaque to me. I’m not sure why, but I really just can’t wrap my head around it. Thankfully my current company has a devops team that takes care of it, but jeez
Haha I mean it’s not like I share it with anyone else. I just have it on my Plex server in an enormous video game music playlist I shuffle through when I’m reading or working
The only music I pirate is stuff that isn’t on Spotify, namely Nintendo game soundtracks
That’s what I did as well. Got one with a sixth gen i7 for $100 on eBay a few years ago. It’s been chugging along nicely.
That seems weird…67% AMD and 33% Intel? Meaning zero percent of polled Linux users play on nvidia?
I wish I could say the same honestly. I mean, I don’t really miss browsing Reddit, but I miss some of the smaller communities that haven’t made their way over here (or are so tiny here that there’s no discussion), and I hate how many of my Google queries point me to Reddit links because I refuse to open them on my phone
I just finished rereading way of kings Friday and am reading SP3 right now! Hello fellow sanderfan
I’m cynical and assume Twitter absolutely did it on Reddit day on purpose
Yeah, it makes perfect sense from the perspective of the company. I just disagree with its value as an employee
Yeah, I agree, but I also kind of like it? I know it goes against a lot of popular opinion online, and obviously it’s annoying that I have to drive 5 minutes to get to a grocery store or 15 to drop my kid off, but my neighborhood is cut into the middle of the woods so we’re secluded and we get to see lots of wilderness around us. But our houses are close together so we’re all really friendly with each other and have a great community where it feels totally safe to let the kids play outside until far after dark.
It also helps that I love driving, and I specifically love my car, so even though I’ve driven 20K miles / 32K km in the past year, it doesn’t feel like much time wasted because I’ve loved doing it
Funny enough, I’m sure as a net you’re absolutely right but for my family personally it actually means we have to drive more. We have to make two round trips into town each day for my son’s daycare, as opposed to just dropping him off on the way to work and picking him up, so we went from about 30 miles a day driven to about 60. But on the days that my wife’s in the office she can do exactly that.
But yeah, I agree, I would need a MASSIVE raise to consider going back to an office full time. Enough to pay a housekeeper, eat out every day, and cover the added wear and tear on the car, plus parking, etc. I’m saving a fortune by staying home every day, and it’s done wonders for my mental health.
I do miss the collaboration aspect, but I can charge my social batteries on weekly lunch zoom calls with my friends
I was one of those people who turned over thanks to return to office. In the two years between the start of the pandemic and when RTO happened at my company, I bought a house (which requires upkeep), moved farther away from the office (from 5 miles away to 20), and had a kid.
Once you taste the freedom of being able to do laundry, wash the dishes, mow the lawn, etc., with the free time you’re saving by not having to commute, it’s really hard to give it up.
Likewise, my wife switched from a full time in-person job to a full remote job which eventually turned into a 2 days per week in office, then 3, job, and it’s getting harder and harder to manage. We’re hoping she can change departments within the company to a team that’s full remote.
I genuinely don’t know how people made it work with kids before. If I was spending an extra 3 hours a day “on the clock” (but not getting paid for those) commuting, taking an unpaid lunch, etc., I literally wouldn’t have a single minute to engage with my hobbies or hang out with my wife, my house would be a mess, and more.
I haven’t tried the demo this time around, so I’m not sure if it’s different from the last next fest, but I really enjoyed it back then. Not all the steam world games are for me, but I really love the aesthetic and that they just throw every genre at it to see what sticks. I’m excited for this to come out to play on steam deck
That’s cool as hell
Hard to be too upset about this. Everything’s getting more expensive, and I’m assuming music rights holders have been squeezing Spotify more and more. I’d love to go back to music piracy, but having an enormous library available at a moment’s notice is worth the extra dollar to me. I do have a pretty huge collection of video game music since the big N refuses to license their music
