27, he/him. interested in all things tech, music production, and gaming. i write songs your girlfriend would probably listen to.
I'm really happy to see so many people posting this article. While I was a little annoyed at first, I realized that it's better overall to see this popping up everywhere.
If you haven't read this yet, It's great for understanding the upcoming challenges the Fediverse will face.
This looks to be the beginning of a trend to pull out of Reddit, and I am excited to watch it crash and burn.
Give it time. People who are joining lemmy/kbin for the first time are incredibly interested in disussing this particular topic. I think by the end of July, we'll truly start to see this community take shape.
How stupid can you be? They were literally told ahead of time that the information was incorrect, and they doubled down anyway! Not admitting you're wrong is an epidemic and seriously needs to be taught more to children if we have any hope for the future.
As a UI/UX designer myself (hobbyist, to be clear), I really like it.
There seems to be this notion in the homebrew/FOSS/Linux community that "wasted space" is always non-preferable. I can see this being true for some people, but I feel like a lot of people and band wagoning this opinion.
It's pretty universally known and accepted in the design community that padding is extremely important when it comes to helping your brain read and separate content. And to be fair, most non-tech people prefer space and padding in their applications to make things easier to understand.
I can be entirely off base here, but TLDR: I like padding and it's literally beneficial to helping your brain understand the layout of what you're looking at better.
New and top day are my picks as well for sure. New is for when I'm feeling social and want to dive right into fresh conversations, while Top Day is great for checking out what went on and allows me to pick up converstaions that have already formed.
I definitely recommend not sticking to one, but pick 2 or 3 to switch between, depending on your mood. This way the new posts get bigger and the big posts stay active. We're all in this together, let's keep lemmy living!
I suggest we create a list of who is bringing what to the party, that way we'll know who's bringing what. I'll start
I will bring the f*ck /u/spez shot glasses!
Has anybody considered OP may be getting railed by a giant schlong?
I feel like this is how it will realistically happen though. People will flock to one instance and use that one community, otherwise it becomes too stagnated.
The best thing about federation is that if that hugely popular community's instance were to crash/go down, the community can just join another one. Sure it might take some coordination, but why not have one central place to hang out until it gets shitty?
Imagine youre at your favorite bar. They get new owners and then all their prices change. But hey guess what, you can make an exact copy of the same bar on a different instance! "Hey guys, lets all go to this new bar thats literally the same thing across the street!" and then everybody is happy.
If you watch the video, you would understand that this individual is deleting specific comments, then saw the exact same comments that he deleted return some time later.
Reddit? Never heard of it.
Celebrating my anniversary! Going to go do some fun boat stuff on the water. Have a nice dinner afterwards. Also planning a murder mystery birthday party for next weekend.
The reason why I can't recommend YouTube music is that it uses audio from videos instead of playing the studio versions of the tracks. The fact that it makes me listen to those silly audio parts in music videos while I'm trying to listen to a studio release is terrible in my opinion, and I couldn't figure out a way to hide those results from search entirely. Does anybody know if they've fixed this?
I just posted about this today in another thread. The ability for AI to be able to describe photos for people who are visually impaired is a total game changer. Most visually impaired people rely on people posting AltText or photo descriptions to become involved, but as most of us already know, most people don't think twice about it, including myself. I'm definitely trying to be better.
It's a ghost. Always sleep with a vacuum.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Valve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn't happened by this point, I don't see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.
Love this channel, love that you guys over here love it as well. Thanks for being cool, beehaw.
Mfw self reporter doesn't realized they self reported
I think you spoke on the most important point. New Super Mario Bros lasted its tenure for far too long, basically killing the entire 2D Mario franchise. This breath of fresh air will continue to inspire future generations of developers to continue to care about 2D Mario. Feels good, considering my entire childhood was spent playing 2D platformers on Nintendo consoles.
I agree. I understand it's a lot of data to pull, but even a status bar that can be checked on it's own page would be a help for people to understand why their comments/posts aren't showing up/why the stats are unbalanced.
I think you're overthinking this. Twitter used to be a place where I could keep up with my friends. Now, it's a place filled with many forms of hate. Because of this, I no longer wish to use it, so I left.
I personally have no care in the world for what happens with Twitter. Why should I? It becomes overrun with bigots? So what?
Remaining on a platform filled with hate is an indicator that you're ok with that. I am not, so I left. end of story.
INFO: Was it charging the whole time?
The auto scrolling bug was fixed in the latest version of Lemmy. If you're instance isn't on 0.18.0, talk to your admin about upgrading.
I just visit the top Lemmy instances, sort by local category, and follow the ones I like on each instance. It doesn't matter if I follow 4 different channels called !technology cause I'll just get them all in my feed. I'm following self hosting on both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world and I get posts from both. I couldn't care less where it comes from, as long as I'm following I'm good to go.
There are many sites and list of large Lemmy servers right now. Just check out beehaw, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, etc.
I personally do not care what people think or tell me about handwriting. I do not enjoy writing things out by hand, I much prefer typing. So that is what I do. Simple as that.
The release of the iPhone and iPod touch was such a special time for me. The jailbreaking scene was just getting started and it started my life long fascination with tinkering with technology.
Welcome and enjoy your stay! Feel free to DM for any questions about Lemmy or Federation in general!
I mostly agree with this. Here's how I use the Fediverse:
I have an account on every instance that I want to browse, while keeping my own personal instance up in the first tab. I browse multiple instances, and when it comes time to comment, I just add the post to my own instance and comment away.
I use all the other accounts as lurker accounts. That way, my identity on Lemmy is consistent but I still get to browse anything I want without worrying about everything federating properly.
I love how stock android looks but agree that it's become too iPhone like. One UI has become a great balance!
Would love to see the FOSS community take down reddit, especially if there's legitimate merit to it.
It's cool that you can understand a topic without being a huge fan. Cool to keep up with the entire industry as a whole. Good stuff.
This is the way
Just curious, what feature are they waiting on?
Self hosted 4 lyfe! Happy to answer questions and get a server started up for you if interested.
I've been trying it out. Of course there's still a bit of polish to add, but the overall look and feel is exactly what I was looking for in a Lemmy reader app. Simplistic, large, clear text. I really love how the action/respond buttons dont appear until you tap the comment. Super intuitive.
The only thing missing is 0.18 support, which isn't really a complaint considering it just started rolling out earlier today. That's what I get for being on the bleeding edge I guess.
No rush my human, enjoy your wedding and be safe!
Would love to hear about your sunshine setup. I'm still using NVIDIA gamestream and I know any minute now they're going to end support in the app. They already announced it and the deadline has already passed.
From what I can tell, and don't quote me on this, this doesn't really matter.
Most of my subs I have on my own instance say subscribe pending but I still get the posts federated. Not sure what the reason is, would love if somebody could chime in.
