...is this loss?

People could just submit issues by e-mail, tbh.

I have most of my projects on either notabug or chiselapp (Fosil, not Git) and to this day I get e-mails asking for stuff or notifying about issues, so it's not like the "social" / "Hub" aspect of "GitHub" is needed.

Why do I feel like narrowing down the options would not be that bad?

Perhaps because you miss Microsoft or Apple? In a rather misdirected way?

Half the point is there are multiple ways to do things - and mind, Windows is like that too (you can get to some settings though the new Control Panel, the old Control Panel, the Regedit, the Powershell...). Just about the only thing in Windows you are forced only one vision of is the desktop itself, but as soon as you double-click an icon, all bets are off.

Also if what you want is getting behind "tried and tested, universally accepted technologies"... that's what sysvinit, ALSA, X11 and automake / build-essentials; no need for systemd, Pulseaudio, Wayland and Snaps. Pulseaudio was basically a stillborn deformed baby whereas I've never seen ALSA fail since 2002 (to the point even today I have to "fix" Flatpak not having audio on Pipewire unless Pulseaudio sits behind it by just seating both of them behind ALSA). I don't even have to begin on Wayland, it started as just vaporware; Systemd is largely an attempt to microsoft-ize Linux system management; and Snaps make me want to snap.

As for newbies... others have addressed the point but honestly, if someone gets scared and whiny at the "choose your starter" screen of the game, they're not gonna last any in a Pokémon game nor would I want them around whining about things they couldn't even be bothered to be here for.

Let’s see, so we covered how we are a Nazi bar

You lost me there. You didn't even hook me enough for the piefed part!

off YT

so... physicists and fanfic writers, yeah :p

But Lemmy isn’t one of those platforms. Right?

Not for content but that wasn't what you asked for.

I migrated an account loooong ago and the only thing that didn't copy/transfer by themselves was my posts. Dunno how much better it has gotten since then but what "makes" the account is so far quite easily exportable and importable.

Gotta be physicists or fanfic writers. I can not imagine other better options.

The only thing that is making me hold out on this experiment is because I am 100% sure that some people will see their posts on a community they never interacted on and they will panic on the grounds of “mah privacy” or something silly like that.

Don't hold out out of that. There are idiots everywhere and they should not be taken as a good driving force for anything.

Half the point of the Fediverse is that your activity is public. It's the entire point of why have activity with a community or instance in the first place. Heck, it's "kinda" the name of the protocol: "ActivityPub".

Is that why I can no longer go from a web search (eg.: DDG, Ecosia) or forum link to StackOverflow without going through three CF captchas? If AI had not killed SO for me before, this does.

Gato.

Beneficio mutuo.

So it's "You get off Google but not me! And keep subsidizing me!"?

It's about 15% more understandable, but still, the same crap I expect by default from that kind of person.

Oh good I had forgotten that part!

Trusting humans (to any extent) is quite vastly different than trusting corporations, to be honest. But if that's your jingle, you can always do the work with a bulk tagger / gallery assembler. No AI, nor environment killing, needed.

But not Youtube. Which is Google.

Curious.

I'm done with Google! Watch me rant on Google's Youtube! Earns me money!

So... yeah.

Why are we giving neonazis attention, again?

Fair point. Still, I have to question how many normal citizens can afford to do that. I've literally never heard a news heading like "Portugal citizen takes IBM to trial, execs in jail for 25 years".

• Redundant (it's not the only security mechanism)
• False / misleading / not-a-Linux issue (more of an internet culture issue).
• FUD. Wayland is not the only way to go; X11 is pretty mature.
• FUD with intent to sell Microsoft's "Secure Boot".

Nice try but doesn't deserve wasting more time on. -4.4/10.

Have you tried hiring a couple humans? They're much better than AI. And you help your local (physical or virtual) economy!

There are various ways to solve the first part and they're pretty generic, the only "C++-specific" part is whether you'll want to build the string step by step (adding characters) or build in one go then modify (build a prearranged string, for example of a specific size, then modify as needed).

To solve the second part we (you) also need to know the encryption algorithm. "Encrypt" is quite a generic word.
