Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux
  • As a linux user if 25+ years, you're off on a bad foot with me from the beginning.

    The base idea of ActivityPub is that we can't let things get too big, because that draws attempts to takeover the userbase. There are already organized efforts beginning on Mastodon to mass defederate from any server (maston.social) that get's to 51% of the total userbase because it would be an existential threat to all of ActivityPub if that happened. You're basically asking starfleet to please ignore the prime directive.

  • I'm ready for September 2024
  • If it's all prophecy then what comes next: the eugenics wars, the second civil war, or world war 3?

  • How do y'all feel about writing things by hand?
  • I've gotten bad writers cramp within just a few minutes of writing since the 90s. Using the alternative pencil grip (where it rests between my index and middle fingers) helped me get through college, but I also opted for typing as much as possible. Now handwriting feels unnatural, to an extent.

  • TIL Fungi in Chernobyl appear to be feeding off gamma radiation and are growing towards the reactor core.
  • We just need to let it grow until it fills the New Safe Confinement. Then, in a century, when the NSC is due to be replaced we'll be off the hook thanks to the nuclear shroom.

  • For my first post on Lemmy, I present the last post I made on Reddit 11 years ago. Thank you to everyone that has made the fediverse happen.
  • How long do you think it will take before we have decentralized/federated identities to go along with it?

  • "string theory lied to us and now science communication is hard"
  • Same. I really like the way she presents ideas.

  • I have a problem
  • Your keep telling people for reasons that you wish to keep to yourself

  • MEGATHREAD: whatever the hell is going on in Russia right now
  • He's been almost as fast as social media on this one, and I trust his sources.

  • I really DIG this humor.
  • You're digging yourself a hole, my friend.

  • can we like just not use bots to repost a bunch of stuff from reddit here?
  • lemmit.online is one I know of. Each community is a reddit board. I pulls the subs via RSS so there are no comments, just the original post.

  • IBEW, the Biden Administration, and Senator Sanders apply pressure and get rail workers their sick days
    www.ibew.org ‘We Never Stopped Applying Pressure’: Hard-Fought Success on Rail Sick Days

    After months of negotiations, the IBEW’s Railroad members at four of the largest U.S. freight carriers finally have what they’ve long sought but that many working people take for granted: paid sick days.

    TIL: The DO NOT EAT warnings on silica gel are about choking rather than poison
  • It can dry out your esophagus enough that it basically welds together. But it's non toxic! 👍

  • can we like just not use bots to repost a bunch of stuff from reddit here?
  • I think the lemmy instance that's only for reddit reposts is a great way to go about it. You always know what you're in for if you sub anything there, and it's not taking up space on other servers.

  • it's Friday night, what's everyone doing this weekend?
  • Gotta finish planning the D&D session I'm running on Sunday

  • Meta won’t negotiate with publishers, will end Facebook news in Canada - ArsTechnica
  • I haven't knowingly used a Facebook/Meta product in many years and my life is better for it.

  • Happened now
  • This is my I never let let my prod pipelines run builds automatically.

  • I'd like to encourage people on the fediverse to comment/upvote/post more than when reddit
  • It took me a few days to realize that I could comment on threads without getting bombarded by every troll on the internet. The reddit conditioning is hard to break.

  • [YouTube] Redhat goes CLOSED SOURCE? | Chris Titus Tech
  • I knew we were in for something like this when the Red Hat first became REHL. Even avoided Amazon Linux due to the lineage. But I have to admit that it took longer than I though it would.

  • You can now get reddit posts on lemmy via RSS, without any ads ;)
  • Oh, there's a Home Assistant crossposter on Lemmit too at !homeassistant@lemmit.online . Without Reddit or Twitter I have felt very out of the loop on Home Assistant

  • I have a theory, the current doctor when you started watching is your favorite doctor. Would this apply to you?
  • Doesn't apply to me. Pretty sure Tom Baker was my first Doctor (via PBS reruns). Of the pre-2005 series Jon Pertwee was my favorite.

    When nuWho started I was there from the start with Eccleston, but Tennant is my favorite.

  • /r/bestofredditorupdates has been forced open after users voted to keep it closed indefinitely. They're currently running a poll on whether to become another John Oliver sub.
  • This is one of the two subs I frequented and miss because there isn't an active fediverse alternative. The other is r/taskmaster
