Here's a couple silly reasons why:

• I kept asking for supernatural things to happen, or to win something like a small school lottery. The fact nothing happened, let alone a clear punishment, did disappoint me.

• When I discovered that Santa was fake was when my faith started to really crumble.

• Sometimes listening to the Pastors speak gives me a nice sensation on the back of my neck. I later discovered ASMR. I sometimes still listen to old religious people speak, but I'm not actually paying attention.

Here's the real reasons why:

• Finding too many things I disagreed with or did not understand from the text.

• Having a religious preacher fail to explain them to me.

• Discovering other religions exist.

• Learning what a cult is and making 1:1 comparisons to most religious entities.

• Discovering how shitty the real world is.

• Science (like, all of it)

• History (also, all of it)

• Discovering philosophy

Psychopathy is a popular catch-all term. "Low-empathy" is better, but I think you're just a critical person and most people don't like criticism or self-reflection.

God's Grace, I can finally unprivate my Steam.

The fee could be really small but scale depending on factors like business size. Or there could be no fee outright for businesses smaller than a certain size.

Tab Stash. Don't need nor will ever need anything else.

Let's not be nihilist here. It's better to come up with solutions than to give up.

I am all for having more people, but being an obscure "site" is a good filter imo.

The Voyager App has some bugs, but for what it is, I'm amazed by the polish.

On Reddit, all I did was look at memes from the top subreddits, spending my day filtering through the vastly unfunny majority. It's also through memes that I kept up to date with the news.

On Lemmy, I decided to not fall into that sort of doom scrolling again. I blocked all meme communities. I browse through "All" to find any obscure community that peaks my interest, block the ones that don't and add the ones that do to "Home" or "Favourites".

This means my feed is much more curated than the slop I was ingesting on Reddit. I still doom scroll sometimes 😅, but it's better now than it was before, I think.

Good explanation, thanks!

Any app that you can setup Macros with. I use Macrodroid on Playstore.

If you had also read the article BTW you would have realized that spoilers: it's not about source code availability.

You saw the first few paragraphs about the Red Hat drama and didn't read further.

Reading the whole thing you'd realize it's a list of reasons why open source software hasn't become popular with the wider public, and his proposed solution to this.

I just included the idea he is proposing, others can read the article to see his reasoning.

China-based Sandman which was recently observed using Lua-based malware, believed to be part of a wider shift toward Lua development from Chinese attackers.

Wait lua? Why lua?

Yeah it's supported. It's listed in the docs for btrfs and arch.

Thank you for the article. I'll need to look more into this in the future.

Very simple solution actually. Here I was thinking we'd need AI to solve it.

Mount options also only take effect on the first mount of the device. Since it looks like you only have 1 btrfs device - only / needs the options, really.

I didn't know this. Thanks!

I did not know that, thanks!

Wow, didn't know the roots were that deep...

Bulk buys

I much prefer it over grub. I don't think there's any other bootloader's that support btrfs snapshots.

That's very interesting. I think you've sold me on watching the show.

I think flatpaks are good. The performance penalty for containerized software can be felt much more when you're not using a good CPU. So containers do not "solve" my use case.

Yeah, I see it now. 😅

Ok, so I heard a thing a long time ago about information density in languages, and that there's a specific amount of information conveyed per second which is pretty consistent across languages, even when the number of sounds is higher or lower.

This is true.

Which means that a single word in English, for instance, would convey more information than a single word in Hindi.

I don't think that's the right interpretation. There are words in English that would require sentences to be made for each if conveyed in a different language. But the same is true vice-versa.

Have a look at subtitles for movies from one language to any other. Translators struggle conveying what should be paragraph long sentences of context behind a single word for one language. Do not get me started on double speak.

Both this and all other answers are good for different reasons. From what I'm reading, the beliefs and politics displayed within Star Trek are beyond progressive for the time it came out, while also shaping sci-fi. This creates a very committed fan base that when Reddit started acting up, they were able to move a large chunk of their user base away to Lemmy, since Lemmy is filled with similar-minded people.

I think you are understating the value of the Arch Wiki and AUR.

I am also a university student. I was required by one of my courses to program an Arduino using ArduinoIDE. My program, however, was not detecting my Arduino. By simply scrolling the Arch wiki, I found the issue, downloaded the fix via AUR and was able to get it working hassle-free. An equivalent of this process does not exist on NixOS.

I do not know what programs your uni requires, but if you do plan on using them on Linux, Debian or Arch, or their many derivatives should be the go-to simply for documentation and quick-fixes alone.

Yeah pretty much

I think it fits. Perhaps in Europe the fan base is less large. Star Wars, Harry Potter, and even Dune are what people around me are into. Though it's mainly (only) just Star Wars.

they only use Linux because it's free. Companies create hardware on Linux because it's free

Companies use open source software because it's the cheapest option. It's all about margins.

Nearly all of FOSS is funded by corporations whether you like it or not

Yes, and FOSS can get a lot more funding if they charged companies even a little bit.

So as long as it's cheaper to pay a fee to continue to use an open-source software than it is to hire a group of developers to produce and maintain the same thing, the idea is viable.

Well the question is, how would such a license look like? Or would it be a contract and not a license?

I guess I should ask a lawyer these questions, but I wanted to see what others here thought about the idea.

A lot of people have been recommending Blowback. I'm listening to it now!

I'm interested in a long time investment that will grow as I will

As long as you pick up shortcuts from any editor you're used to and can implement them or something similar in any hackable editor, you're growing long term.

Emacs and (Neo)Vim have passed the test of time and I honestly don't think they'll cease to exist in the upcoming decades

Neovim will exist on account of being a lightweight refresh on Vim that, due to issues with the Vim owner, was able to gain enough momentum to take off.

Emacs I'm not so sure. If you've checked the news anytime for Doom Emacs, you can see the maintainer mentioning how it's become progressively difficult to maintain the project. I'd imagine it's a similar story for plugins and other derivatives. People have attempted remaking Emacs from scratch, but there was not enough momentum for it, so that went under.

There are a lot of beautiful plugins for both Emacs and Vim that personally, I wish could exist as programs separate from these editors. Have you had a look at the design philosophy behind Kakoune?

"Kakoune is expected to run on a Unix-like system alongside a lot of text-based tools, and should make it easy to interact with these tools. For example, sorting lines should be done using the Unix sort command, not with an internal implementation."

This would stop so many tears being shed for deprecated plugins if they just focused on being a separate program that can interact with whatever code editor you want, be it VSCode, Vim, Emacs, etc.

I also recommend reading this article here that goes more in-depth on this point and has a comparison of vim, helix and kakoune.

These are just some random threads I saved. As others have pointed out, niche communities are (usually) the least toxic. Applies to any site or chatroom.

This one's full of examples https://lemmy.world/c/bestoflemmy

There are a lot of posts about this podcast. I'm listening to it now!

If current licenses have the problem that big companies just ignore the terms set out in the license, I wouldn't imagine making a new sort of license with different terms like "big companies have to pay to get the benefit of using Pots-Open Source software" is really going to work.

It's more that they avoid the spirit of the licensing, not the terms (except Red Hat of course).

I suppose you can split this into two separate arguments:

• Swap from licenses to more enforceable contracts

• Have companies pay open source devs

"subvolume - cannot be snapshotted if it contains any active swapfiles"

Make a subvolume only for the swapfile.

has a chance to fragment

This is true for all files. Is it a bigger problem for swap?

has issues with hibernation (that I've personally encountered multiple times)

This one I can't refute. How long ago did you have these issues?

😔

That is more of an argument involving the implementation of tags in general within the federation. But to answer your question:

Let's say a group of people were to make a post on Mastodon with the tag #girls_night. How will all instances agree on the tag being correct?

The simple answer is they won't. If a tag is contentious, it will be like any other drama between instances.

It's the same for implementing tag hierarchy. Let's say there is a default setup. Then if a tag or a tree of tags is contentious, each instance can include or exclude as they see fit.

I didn't know about it, thank you for showing me this.

Could you pass me a link to an example setup?
