I say it’s like reddit when it was smaller and less obnoxious. If they inquire more, I discuss federation by describing email. I mostly try to sell that people are nicer and you start to know your netisan compatriots. I haven’t been successful in convincing anyone to join as far as I know.
I got banned from a subreddit because the mod had this "not with us, you are against us"argument. It was years ago, but IIRC I was posting against a comment calling for assaulting men to balance out the abuse of women.
To be honest, I think I may have seen more banning on Lemmy though. I’ve noticed a few cases where the admins have banned people with objectionable opinions. In all fairness, these were the type people you would avoid at parties, but it does give me pause. In reddit if you get banned from a particular subreddit you still keep your identity and participate in other subreddits. In Lemmy, you are at the mercy of your server, and if a large server bans you, it would essentially remove you from all of their communities that otherwise might accept you. I worry that this is creating an echo chamber.
I don’t mind smart products, though I’m not sure what problem is solved by a screen on a fridge. That said, I do hate it when these devices need to rely on the cloud to function, and Ads I can’t tolerate–I usually try to block the DNS address for things that like to spy on me or show me ads.
This sort of stuff damages the Samsung as a brand. It makes me unlikely to consider Samsung for other products like TVs.
I’ll add it to my linked in profile to warn potential coworkers.
I think that’s a pretty good response. More details will probably emerge in the next few days that could change my mind, but for now that gives me a bit of confidence in their platform.
In comparison, a few years ago I was a patient at an IVF clinic in Sydney. I saw some absolutely bonkers security and repeatedly raised it with them. They wouldn’t hear it, and almost expectedly they were hacked and now my sperm count is public information. Their response was delayed and appalling. If my medical records were treated a severely as a streaming platform, I would have been happy.
I get the frustration, but I don’t think its fair to direct it at tourists. I don’t believe for a second that the protestors aren’t at times tourists themselves, and it’s hard to see what directing abuse at random tourists visiting for a week, with no emotional investment or control of Spain’s rental system, could possibly achieve.
Airbnb has been allowed to run unregulated in pretty much every market. Naturally this hurts areas where tourism is a major industry more than others–so again, I get the frustration. But geez, channel that back to people who can actually fix it rather than yelling at foreigners.
EDIT: Sorry I should add, I’m referring to not just this piece of graffiti, but also the similar posts that seem to appear on lemmy every few days.
Thank you
Nice artwork. You don’t happen to know the name of the artist?
Maybe there’s more to it, but I really don’t get the last note about Tidal: Essentially, if you use Tidal, you should know the CEO is has a large ego and is a crypto bro.
I’m sure he’s very annoying, but I’m not inviting him to my house for dinner.
Same here, I would rarely see a satellite and mostly only during dusk. Two nights ago I was participating in a star gazing activity as par of a birthday party and it’s busy up there now
I think I might have seen a build or two even back then. However, what I need from a mobile app isn’t to provide all of emacs, but rather just satisfy a few key use cases. Providing everything comes at the cost of usability, which is a key requirement for a mobile app. Really I just need to capture notes and tasks and see task lists, but trying to use the mobile emacs in the middle of a conversation, commuting, or grabbing coffee isn’t ideal.
There were a couple of 3rd party apps that were designed for orgmode, but after I trialled, but they all fell short for me.
Even if it had the best mobile app now however, I wouldn’t go back to emacs. Each to their own, but I’ve become way more aligned with the unix philosophy of “do one thing, and do it well”, where as I see emacs more as “lets do as much as we can in one app”. IMO Ofc.
I went the ohterway with Emacs -> Logseq -> Obsidian, but with several things in between. Emacs isn’t for me, I did give it a red hot go and coded off it for a good year or two about 10-15 years ago.
HOWEVER, I have to agree. Emac’s Orgmode is first class and I’ve never been as satisfied with a task app since. However, at the time I was using it, mobile support was pretty much nonexistent, and I was missing vim too much, so I eventually abandoned it.
Now i just use a selfhosted instance of memos, which is sparse on its feature set, but works well for me.
When asked how he could admire an airforce general despite being a pacifist, MLK jr responded "I judge people by their own principles – not by my own.” Judge that redditor by the principle of someone whose career is helping children but instead exploits them.
I agree it doesn’t matter how many children he’s helped. I’ve heard from my Hindu friends that good deeds won’t naturalise bad Karma. Im not religious and don’t believe in karma, but I think this is well grounded. It doesn’t matter how many children he has helped, it doesn’t change the fact that he has damaged so many others for sexual gratification.
The guys a vile worm, and think you’re right to judge him.
I was also forced to use it at uni (a few decades ago), but didn’t start using it until professionally until several years into my dev career. I promise that I don’t think I’m superior because I use it. But I do encourage junior developers to learn it for reasons that appealed to me.
Among other things, appealing things are modal editing (the biggest advantage IMO), it runs on pretty much on any server you will be ssh’ing into, less IDE lock in. And, there’s a bunch of additional things that other editors do that I think Vim does better: regex is first class in the environment, extensible workflows, macros. Then there are definite advantages being able to quickly navigate from the home row.
I agree that some people will demonstrate their enthusiasm by bragging and being pretentious. But I don’t think that’s why they stick with Vim.
Im mid 40s now. For me it was:
25-35, drinking, concerts, bars. Some non-alcohol activities.
[after this time a majority of my friends have had kids and/or been priced out of my city]
35-45, Coffee catchups, work parties, activities like D&D. Traveling to see older friends. Slowly learning how to socialize without alcohol.
It does require more effort the older you get. I can get introverted, making it harder to invest the effort. Having an outgoing wife has really helped me in this regard.
