That’s not entirely true. Practice is important, but homework actually has a negative impact on learning: https://hachyderm.io/@Impossible_PhD/112969358305278574
Agreed, unfortunately. I’m not even sure it supports defederation :/
It’s good we have “Knewbies” in a sandbox when they start.
attention all companies: please stop making pet names for your employees, it’s weird
It really, really is
In my experience, the larger threadiverse instances have gradually collected the worst ex-redditors, who have brought the worst of reddit’s culture. I’m unfortunately not surprised that lemmy.world has queerphobic mods, given how the users behave. 😕
my employer has decided to license an “AI RDBMS” that will dynamically rewrite our entire database schema and queries to allegedly produce incredible performance improvements out of thin air. It’s obviously snake oil, but they’re all in on it 🙄
Another vote for the steam controller - it’s versatile enough to work comfortably with every game I’ve wanted to play.
I’ve been using Xubuntu for half a decade, zero regrets.
I appreciate the transparency through all of this. It’s nice to know about the problem while there’s still some time to handle it. To be honest - I probably would not follow Beehaw to any new non-federated platform. Its nothing against Beehaw (I love this community and its admins) but I’m just not convinced that we could ever attain enough regular users to keep critical mass on the niche topics I follow. That’s the real advantage of Lemmy - all (well-behaved) instances get to share their user base.
Unfortunately, I also understand why staying on Lemmy might not be an option. Same with forking or using another Fedi software. Either way - I trust y’all to consider all the options and make the best choice. 🐝💙
I was working through a list of nature-related names, looking for an uncommon one that still sounded like a real name. I was almost ready to try out “Ember”, but then I saw “Hazel” and it just clicked. So that’s what I’ve called myself ever since!
I feel like this design would work pretty well even for a modern phone. Just flatten the bottom-right menu section and extend the screen over it, and you’d get a regular full-size smartphone with a slide-out keyboard and some handy physical buttons!
“good” is subjective, but I can recommend the Tomb Raider reboots.
The same problem can also be solved with signed messages, like the HTTP Signatures used by Mastodon and most of the other microblogging fedi servers. Signatures allow a message to flow peer-to-peer instead of requiring a direct connection. You would only need a connection when actively interacting with a post on another instance, and its very unlikely that all 10K instances would be interacting with each other. Most likely, the network will consist of smallish groups of loosely-related instances plus a few giant servers that can handle the load of being popular.
For daily work, I use the git integration built into my IDE. Occasionally I need the CLI for something complex.
I’d be able to commit real, serious time towards my open-source projects. Maybe I’d finally get my fediverse app off the ground? I’d also take up art and gardening for some variety.
Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t live in GA, but I do have family there.
RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.
it’s all people getting mad on behalf of their instances when everybody behind the scenes is chill and understands!
I think that’s becoming A Thing ™️ on the fediverse recently. I’ve seen this exact scenario play out on the microblogging side more than once.
That’s exactly how it works at many places. Students can only use a personal device if it’s enrolled in the school’s MDM, which grants them just as much control.
