Why would I go on bad lemmy?

The lengths Americans will go to to not build trains is astounding.

This is the solution. With enough small instances, not only do we provide a wide range of options to users, but we also distribute the hosting costs across the community.

Will this fix copying from the url bar in kde?

something nice

Are we talking about the same stack overflow?

My favorite version of this is when the novice has followed someone's dodgy advice to set pull.rebase = true, then they pull a shared branch that they're collaborating on, into which their coworker has just merged origin/main. Instant Sorcerer's Apprentice-scale chaos!

Why are you doing that? Don't do that.

You guys back up your server?

It’s $0.01 per install at that scale according to their pricing chart.

You definitely do not want to generate TOTPs in your password manager. That makes it a single point of failure in the event of a breach.

I don’t understand why lemmy caches photos in the first place? Like surely it’s quicker, easier, and lower bandwidth to just store a url to the original source.

Cross-posting my comment:

This is one of my largest frustrations with the open source community. Everything is immediately assumed as malicious. There is no escalation, it's "you screwed me over" from the jump.

I suppose it's bred from decades of large corporations pilfering open source for profit. However, this post could easily have been, "I noticed there's some code I wrote that wasn't attributed, would you mind adding that?". Escalate from there if the appropriate actions aren't taken.

but don’t want to commit early so you can pull down the changes to your laptop.

Someone needs to tell this man about rebasing.

Great, now my city can be overrun with cars in the simulation too.

I don’t like having the URL bar perpetually taking up real estate like it does on iOS

If you save it to the homepage this doesn't happen. Guide

In LitigousEmma's defense, kbin did not comply with the license terms of the open source software, so there is a valid concern here. Unlike most programming languages which are often released under licenses which do not requite attribution.

However, mistakes happen. The open source community is better off if we could all just start from 0 and escalate based on response.

This waste is also present in traditional injection molding in the form of sprues, runners, and gates (probably less, though it depends on the site specifics).

Bandwidth was the wrong choice of words. Storage space is more what I meant.

Are there other maintainers charged with reviewing and merging code or just @ernest?

I don't have any issue with opening an issue in the repo, that part seems reasonable. It, by definition, is an issue with the codebase.

Yes, edited

No. Reddit had turned into doomscrolling for me instead of a place I enjoyed spending time. I would find myself feeling worse after having browsed reddit, not better.

Switching to KBin has totally changed that, it's more like a forum I go to see stuff and chat with people instead of a hellscape of depressing news and vitriol. I do not miss reddit in the slightest and I can live without the one or two communities there I actually participated in.

those early days thirty years ago.

I misread this ad thirteen and though, “haha silly it was 20 years ago.” Then re-read it and realized it said thirty.

Then I had to go sit down for a minute and contemplate my impending demise.

An important point to make is that even if you make an account elsewhere, you can still access the content and communities here and on other Kbin/Lemmy instances.

I have to agree, you can tell the platform is not up to speed at all.

It's OSS, you can contribute to improve it. Otherwise just sit tight and wait.

There's not a multi-million dollar VC investment back these projects, they owe you nothing. You (as in the wider community) contribute to improve it or you wait for the one guy to decide your feature request is worth tackling.

But NextDNS is closed source isn't it? Personally I wouldn't trust proprietary software with my entire DNS request history.

Why even go back? Kbin was kinda dead a week ago which sucked, but I have no loyalty to Reddit.

I suspect theres a bug as some thumbnails are still being cropped.

Example: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/142699/watership-down

Edit: it also appears to crop images in the threads themselves (as seen with the screenshot posted on this reply)

The image being sent from the server appears to be cropped. Checking the code sending the thumbnail, it looks to be correct [ref].

(Disclaimer: It's been over 10 years since I looked at PHP code, so I could be wrong about what this code is doing)

People constantly hype Datagrip, I've always used DBeaver. They look almost exactly the same. Aside from the slick marketing, what value does Datagrip bring that justifies the price?

I just can’t copy anything from the URL bar at all.

To say, as in to state as fact, yes.

To question, no.

There's a wide gap between "covid originated in a lab" and "covid could have originated in a lab".

The real benefit as I see it for using rust for backends is memory safety.
