Eshell because it is consistent cross platform and I switch often for work/etc. Sometimes I’ll use bash when I really want a native shell.

I used fish before eshell and I really like it, the auto complete is nice, but eshell has autocomplete and since aliases and other configurations are in my emacs config, they sync cross platform too.

Imo this law is actually in a way pushing for a porn monopoly, if you by law need to provide an id, are you gonna trust some random site with that info or the big one everyone uses

Maybe someone here can help me because idk how to feel about this whole conflict.

On one hand, Israel is fucked, the sentiment towards everyday Palestinians and the civilian death toll have been unquestionably bad.

On the other hand Hamas and Hezbollah are also fucked up theocratic and anti semitic regimes that do not have the best interest of their people in mind, not the sort of people I’m super enthusiastic to support, I don’t even see things necessarily getting better for the Palestinians in a multi state resolution, and a single state resolution which is not devastating to them is practically impossible.

So far i have agreed with zizeks take on the issue (both states are bad and want eternal conflict at the expense of the people), but there seems to be no solution to go with it.

Realistically I think the only option for Palestinians to keep the West Bank and Gaza is for the us to enforce a 2 state solution (basically guarantee the safety of both nations from attack).

Part of the issue with Gaza is Israel is scared if they stop policing the border/sea/air they will be armed by Iran and then attack, some third party has to ensure their defense in order for them to stop.

It isn’t an ideal solution in any sense of the word but at least it could relieve the suffering of the Palestinians and give them the ability to self govern in the places they have left.

Subscriptions are a sustainable way to do it, or so it seems from the games that have lasted 20+ years with decent player bases. I get where you’re going though, cash grabs are common in games nowadays and making a game a live service is a great way to do more monetizing, but it isn’t necessary.

I agree that it’s bittersweet to see a game change over time, and that is definitely a trade off of MMOs, but imo it’s not a total negative, a game having visible history in the world, when done well, can be a benefit.

Live service games aren’t all bad, imo mmos are a good example of a good live service game, I would never have the same enjoyment for RuneScape for example if it were not a live service game, there is a level of authenticity to achievements given by it being a live service. Also it’s a little disingenuous to say non-live games get updates too implying its equal when a good live service game can put hundreds of hours of content per year into the product without worrying about when they would need to release a new game or paid expansion to continue being profitable.

I was more annoyed at the ssh key requirement lol, I know it’s more secure etc etc but im not working on anything sensitive, it’s just annoying

Lemmy with a 1 user server would be annoying imo, simply because a larger instance lets you see more instances, when you search communities you will see far more options from across the fediverse, a 1 user instance is optimal in the sense that you have full control over your data and more control of what you see (unless you get blocked obviously) but otherwise nah. For matrix, obviously you’re trusting the server owner isn’t doing anything weird if you are not self hosting but I wouldn’t say it’s bad by default.

Lemmy is really easy to set up with ansible and yes you can use dynamic dns like noip that works fine, maybe I’d be worried using the free noip plan where you can very easily lose the domain though. Matrix is harder to set up but doable.

I have been feeling the same! It’s so hard to justify leaving macos though when it’s Unix already, so I have another old laptop I tinker with Linux on (plus a homelab)

Be ready to flash your phone often if you do, but they can work well when they want to

The more important part is after the highlighted part, I was thinking the same thing

I am eating from the trash can all the time

It’s basically like blocking a whole server, so if threads defederates from mas.to, users on either site can’t talk to eachother

If meta makes special features threads only and once they have a corner on the market start defederating, it could suck other already decently popular services dry (mastodon) since they either move to threads or lose any connections they had on threads. In the end, a cool decentralized thing becomes just another corpo social network.

If you’re self hosting at home yes dyn dns is far cheaper, and from a users perspective there’s no difference

Idk with ca but with lemmygrad you may just want to make an account there if you really want in
