  • Here's another 20+ years Linux user. I too feel I still not know what I'm doing. My computers have been up and running thanks to the blessings of the godly devs!

  • We should not let the open web die a quiet death
  • I'm late to this party, but I'm now curious. What happened to elastic and mongodb?

    And what are the underlying economic conditions promoting that change?

    Thanks regardless.

  • Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?
  • Same here. It simply comes from within. Everything now is so special because I'm aware how fleeting everything is.

    Thanks for your comment. It resonated a lot with my experience.

  • Lemmy vs Reddit in a nutshell
  • Yes, I'm a bit of a moron, but I still want to be fair. In every single community I read the same comment on and on again. It goes something like this:

    People in name_of_community are x.

    With its obvious variation

    name_of_community is y.

    That always sounds to me both strange and nonsensical. Every large set of beings is, obviously, large. We're always sampling it from a very biased perspective. You may be unlucky in your interactions; or perhaps you're more tactful; or you've connected in a very bad day; etc., etc., etc.. So saying that name_of_community is y is just a Quixotian attack on a windmill.

    If that gets you high, elated, if it makes you feel better about yourself because you're not like them, please go ahead and keep enjoying yourself. But also remember you're riding an beaten old horse, wearing a rusty armor, and talking nonsense.

  • Mastodon has hit 2M active monthly users!
  • It's more like Twitter. Mastodon is a microblogging platform (people complaining about the smallest slight).

  • Bird pooping [OC]
  • What a beautiful asshole. It pooped light!

  • How it going here? I'm looking forward to helping fuck up Reddit's IPO.
  • You have a lot of good suggestions here already. My contribution will be like an upvote, sharing my impressions of the apps I've tried so far.

    Both vger.app and thunder are very cool, easy to navigate, simple.

    With Liftoff you have more control over the UI. It looks good and it's very fluid.

    All are very usable. All contribute to the lemmy experience, making it more fun to use and interact.

    Good luck on your lemmy journey.

  • We just hit 2,150 subscribers! Please comment and post so we can continue to make this community an active and fun place to post. If you are a lurker, please come by and say hello.
  • It's wonderful to have this community on my feed. It might seem paradoxical, but seeing these posts about space keeps me grounded.

  • Trans model and actor is crowned Miss Netherlands and will compete for Miss Universe
  • I genuinely smiled of joy reading this. My day is brighter now. Thank you for posting.

  • Tout va bien pour Spez
  • Vrai, changer est difficile. Mais l'habitude est trop fort. Et Reddit est comme une drogue.

  • What do you like about your Linux Distro?
  • I've been messing with paru to gauge its functionality against yay.

    So far I'm unimpressed. The cli display is somewhat tidier/neat. I like that. But when it comes to actually installing something, it's less than stellar.

    For instance, if I want to skip any confirmation, I can use the undocumented flag --noconfirm. But that only works if I'm passing the flag to install, -S. If, say, I'm searching for a package, simply typing paru <package>, then the interactive menu no longer works. It simply exits with the message 'nothing to do'.

    yay, on the other hand, works flawlessly with the --noconfirm flag.

    I noticed that paru has some upgrading/updating features that are nice. I might use it once in a while to upgrade/update the system. But that's pretty much it for now.

  • What do you like about your Linux Distro?
  • Thanks for reminding me of paru! I've checked and I have it installed already. But I confess that I'm so used to yay that I completely forgot about paru.

    Do you have any paru tutorial you recommend?

  • Calvin's mom is using a typewriter. How quaint.

  • An island is a mountain mostly underwater
  • And the sea is just a big lake. The sea floor a long valley. Fish are valley people. Land animals are mountain folk.

  • I miss reddit
  • True. Not everyone agrees. Since I'm just me, I can only speak for myself.

    With this in mind, I would like to hear reasons why you or others don't agree. I ask in good faith.

    Having an opinion is as natural as being human. I see the world through my eyes, think about in my brain, color it by my life experiences. So there's always the possibility that I might be missing something important. Perhaps you were persuaded by some strong and much valid point or points.

    If that's the case, and if you're willing, can you please share why you disagree?

  • Any recommendation for basic PDF tools?
  • Master PDF Editor. The current version is paid, but version 4 is free. It's a good swiss knife like PDF tool.

  • What do you like about your Linux Distro?
  • pacman/yay

    Also, Arch wiki.

    All else is aesthetics.

  • Stoner engineering has its perils
  • Looking forward to a stoner engineering community on the fediverse.
