Cuz this is not mainstream social media, people are here for a reson, mostly exchange of ideas and knowledge, as well as flatearth memes. Thus, this is not gonna fly here.
Since a lot of women have started to call their female friends “girlfriends”, I have to wonder how women with actual girlfriends have been dealing with this lol
I was a forums guy back then. We did pick on each other, make stupid jokes on each other’s expenses, but it wasn’t taken to heart… like contruction workers roasting each other all day, that was mostly it 😂.
Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality....
You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg, and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the connection....
The opposite for me. Having an AC doesn’t magically make me feel coler in the summer. I still have to go outside to pick up groceries or something and sweat like a pig.
Oh, not to mention sweaty thighs and skin rashes, trouble walking…
By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....
I repair almost everything and just love to tinker with gadgets and tech in general… repurpose/reuse old things, make beter versions of them, etc.
Simple example, all of my old audio equipment now has Bluetooth, an MP3 player, an aux input, a USB port (for MP3 playback) and an SD card reader (also for MP3 playback)… oh and let’s not forget the FM tuner that comes bundled with those thingies 😂. Don’t use it, but still, it is a nice option to have at your disposal 😉.
Techies will care, most people won’t. Niche communities will still be on Reddit. It’s just easier and data never gets lost (as has proven to be the case many times in the fediverse).
I've noticed that a lot of people on the #fediverse aren't particularly welcoming to those who don't initially get it or have trouble with it. You'd think that if multiple people say they have trouble picking an instance, it might be a genuine barrier to entry that we need to consider when introducing them to the fediverse. But no, instead of suggesting an instance to get rid of that barrier everyone gives unhelpful advice like "just pick one" or "it's not that hard." We'd have a much easier time getting people on the fediverse if there weren't so many people with this attitude of "the fediverse is simple, and the people who don't get it are lazy and should try harder."
And the danger of a lot of people on a single instance is really exaggerated. If things go badly on, say, a Lemmy instance that most people are on, they can just move to another one with the same features, same UI, and similar access to content.
See, for new users, a slow glitchy instance means “fediverse don’t work like advertised”… sorry, but if you haven’t noticed, the techies are the ones that stayed on Lemmy. Everyone else pretty much left it after the big Reddit migration wave hit it. Glitches, bugs, unstable instances, instances going dark… that’s just not for everyone. Yeah, we understand the reasons, so we stayed, but for normies, this was generally a bad sign and just left.
That’s why it’s advisable to distribute the load, so we don’t get into these same problems, which of course just gives the fediverse a bad name.
Well, for one, it’s network attached storage. If it’s not present in the network for one reason or another, guess what, your OS doesn’t boot… or it errors during boot, depending on how the kernel was compiled and what switches your bootloader sends to the kernel during boot. Second, this is an easy way for malware to spread, especially if it’s set to run after user logon.
It has to have a mount point somewhere. Just double click the desktop entry, that will mount it wherever you told it to and then you can copy to that location, easy peasy 😉.
It didn’t use to be like that after the first wave, with comms such as sewing, there were some gardening subs as well… the only one that kinda took off was the woodworking sub, that’s it.
I opened a few subs myself, related to tech, but not really computer related, none of them took off, only a few posts at the beginning and that was basically it, no new posts whatsoever.
I would argue that now, it’s as user friendly as Reddit is. But, alas, now is too late 😔. There was a wave of instances dissappearing over night (vlemmy, fmhy, etc.), mods abusing power and… well, that crowd just felt safer with commercial media. At least their data and shared images won’t drown into oblivion if an instance owner decided to just close shop 🤷.
and I will not ask for the meaning of 20047 or the Englishy greenish color 😉
It’s NO in ASCII and I’m not a native English speaker… and this thing doesn’t have auto correct, underline or suggestions 😒 (Jerboa).
The correct way to share a community on Lemmy (so that apps recognize it as a Lemmy community) is with an exclamation mark, as in your last example. The search in Jerboa (as is with other apps) is broken, doesn’t work like it should. Use the web UI search on your instance, you’ll find the community.
I want to get my partner a replacement for an aging chromebook. I was thinking it would be easiest to just grab another super budget chromebook and call it a day. But the more I read about google and chrome, the less I want to do with them....
If you’re hunting down older eqipment (5, 6 years old), no, not really… everything just works with Linux and older stuff. The newer stuff is always the problem with any OS that is not Windows (though that is changing for the better in the last few years, especially for Linux).
This dude, he called himself Mr. Hands, liked to fuck horses and film it, but he got overfucked, so eventually he died. This made things bad for other horse fuckers, since this case was the reason why a new law was passed in Washington that banned human horse fucking (zoofilia in general actually).
Hello everyone, I need help choosing my first distro. I want to be able to run Audio software for editing and mixing. So I need also VST plug ins and others. Currently I use Windows 10, and Reaper....
Well, at least there is one thing that makes building on Void easier. xbps-src works with templates, so you could just write the template or write on GitHub for help from someone in the Void community. I’ve asked for help many times and people are usually very helpful ☺️. Once you have the template, updating the VST is a matter of just chaging a few things in it (version, hash, etc.) since things like UI dependencies or libraries don’t change that often in releases, those are major changes and usually come with a prior warning by the developer. Meaning, you could just make the template and just change the version numbers and hashes, recompile it and most of the time, that will be just that, bam, you’re up to date ☺️. Sure, there are major updates, but let’s face it, there are very rare. And, you can share the template with others on the official void xbps-src repo or your own repo, however you like 😉. Hell, you could even share the binaries so that other people don’t have to go through the trouble of compiling them manually 😉.
You should also probably try and see if the same thing happens in a VM. The flash drive might be failing and I don’t think Void does CRC checks of files when copying them… definitely not when funning them, like the installer for example.
EDIT: I remember the installer bringing me back to the partitioning setup, but that’s because I partition manually, not through the Void installer, so the installer thinks that that step is skipped. No worries though, just go to the end of the installer setup and continue with the provided settings. If an adequate target partition has been set, it will install Void.
Long story short, I learned there is an XMMS release of a plugin I use in Winamp for music playback (mp3PRO). Sadly, I recoded most of my music to mp3PRO back in the day, and now I’m stuck using Winamp, even on Linux. I like the player, wouldn’t change it, but I wanted to switch to something native, like Audacious or Qmms....
I have the original source for some of them, but very few, like maybe 1 or 2%.
Doesn’t matter, I’m just gonna redownload them in flac, store them on optical media as flac and keep them as HE-AAC on my NAS for local playback. It’s the only option that’s acceptable in my mind.
I have an Acer XV340CKP monitor connected via Display Port to my GPU. I also have a old LG W2253TQ that I use as a secondary display. It only has a DVI and VGA port.
