I just wish more of the reddit escapees would understand and embrace that, technologically speaking, Lemmy is not Reddit and that this is a good thing, actually.

There will be splintered communities hosted on different servers. There will be servers that decide to defederate from each other, be it for understandable reasons or stupid ones. And you will, probably, end up having to create more than one account because of drama that had nothing to do with you.

This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. For everything you lose in convenience by not having “the everything site” where you go for literally all things, you gain flexibility and freedom. If my home-instance decides it doesn’t want legal trouble and bans talk of piracy… I can just get an account at one that has no such qualms. My browser/phone will remember my passwords for me.

A community’s culture shifting over time is inevitable, but these newcomers seem to want to change Lemmy on a technological level, and change it in ways that would rob it of the things that make it interesting, yanno?

I also wish it’d be less US-centric around here. But I guess that is inescapable.

Watching the discussion here I finally get how it feels like to be a centrist. And it feels dirty.

Anyway, good for them, or whatever. Hyprland was a’ight when I tested it, even if it ain’t my thing. Still hoping for a Wayland Compositor that gives an XFCE-type experience (that is to say, UX without Gnome’s ‘opinionated’ weirdness, and without all the fancy effects that Plasma has. Relatively lighter, also looks a bit retro)

Piracy.

Brazil mentioned

Eeeeeeeoooohhh vida de gado
povo marcado é
povo feliz~

[musical brazilian noises]

Honestly I poke a lot of fun

But I do hope Kamala wins, for the sake of all the peeps I care about that had the misfortune of being born in the US of A. I dunno if she can do it but if she does, great! Four more years without the yallqaeda enacting their genocide on a national scale.

Who the fuck do they even got? Like genuine question

I don’t see a scenario where trump doesn’t win in the end.

… Which

Don’t be silly, Brazilian waffs are too L O N G to be inside anyone other than a basketball pro.

But they were Christian wolves, which is why he was also called “Amadeus” (lit. “Loves god”)

Well

YES

But at the same time, good god does it look like y’all are just boned. After that shot, it’s pretty much guaranteed that the wig-man will sweep the election – And since I have very little faith in some magical revolution happening, I just hope the good people in the US can get out before the fascists actually start fucking shit up.

I’ll have the cinnamon mint buns

Linus Torvalds is the Gordon Ramsay of tech

Not a terrible idea for a lot of things, but one of the shit posts living rent free in my head was literally just called “bunny”

The 90s Mario movie is better than all the Marvel movies

And that’s the hottest take I’ll ever make.

Respect for keeping the comment online so others learn from your mistake.

Believe it or not… Vimwiki (&& syncthing for synchronisation across my machines)

it’s rather no nonsense idk. I’m not even a vim wizard, I just know the bare basics

Finally

ClosedSUSE

I feel this says more about the Simpsons and its place in pop culture than it does about the quality or otherwise of Google’s algorithm

Call me a 12 year old in the body of a 30 year old, but “explosion of sugar and fat” is still my go-to for desserts and my pick whenever I have a cheat day

Never much cared for “complex” or “acquired” taste desserts. Even the sourness of cheesecakes displeases me.

If I’m consuming enough calories that I’ll spend the next week paying the bill with interest, it better taste like I’m being brutally assaulted by a bag of sugar.
