On a wing and a prayer striding off to the next free meal…

It’s not real.

I think that the missing link for the fediverse is the user interface that most users see.

This is oxymoronic given that the original Reddit looks eerily similar to Lemmy today, but it’s not just looks I’m talking about.

Moderation and usability tools, bots, blocks, filtering and spam control need to go through several iterations before we can actually grow this community.

Search is another issue, as is post deletion. Right now a post vanishes, but all the stuff hanging off it is still there. This makes for a complex user experience.

Finally, Lemmy appears to be run by developers who appear to be interested in their own issues and regularly appear to dismiss issues raised by users. This is not sustainable.

I consider myself a user of the fediverse before I’m a Lemmy or Mastodon user. We have a way to go before this settles down.

At one point, before we virtualised everything, I had a custom desk built in an L-shape. Instead of a desk and a return, I had the refurbishment team put together a desk with two desks instead. It gave me two sets of drawers, two computer cubby holes and the gap was too small for the horrible keyboard adjustable shelf that kept hitting your knees, so they replaced it with a fixed surface instead.

People laughed.

Colleagues sniggered.

Then they wanted one too.

Now I have a mobile lectern with an iMac clamped to it. Height adjustable, wheels, enough space for keyboard, trackpad and USB hub. I move around my office as the mood or light takes me.

I am part of the Reddit exodus. I’m here because I have no interest in promoting or supporting the atrocious policies that now govern Reddit.

The pace here is different, but the interactions feel more measured.

Based on being online since 1990, I’m comfortable with being an “early adopter”, even though I’ve only been here for a few months and Lemmy is five years old.

Will Lemmy survive? Who knows. The horse and buggy didn’t, neither did Yahoo!, MySpace or Google+, but here we are nonetheless.

I like it here.

So, when you use 40 or so programming languages, your employer needs to supply a mansion…

I’m okay with that.

Now, where is the boss?

What does the penalty look like and how will this return the trees to the community?

What’s the LEGO set code … asking … for a friend.

“bare scroll”?

I’d check dmesg and /var/log/syslog to see if there is any relevant information.

ProTip: use dmesg -T for human readable timestamps.

Yes, and some days it even acknowledges that there are humans living outside of New York, or even beyond the United States.

Perhaps you might expand your game “design” team to include people outside those sitting in the same office.

At the rate you’re going, we are enjoying it less every day.

Rule 34 applies…

Also, the word you’re looking for is: “headless”, as in, “headless install”

The traditional way is to use a serial console from another device.

What is it specifically about Linux that doesn’t work for you?

I’m asking because I’ve been using it for almost a quarter of a century as my main desktop.

You need to make an effort to put yourself in places where you can meet people. Often this takes the form of finding a community with a common interest. This could be a hobby, a lecture, a course, book club, gardening, etc.

Other places where you meet people can be a workplace, a volunteering effort, social gatherings like listening to a band, orchestra or a play.

You can go to the local coffee shop and spend time there watching people. If you do this regularly, you’re likely to meet people whom you can talk to and interact with.

If you already know people, acquaintances, then organise or participate in activities with them.

Social media is an add-on to life, not life itself.

The way to make friends is essentially finding ways to interact with other humans, preferably in places where you like to enjoy yourself.

I’d challenge the restriction. I doubt that everything in the house is “UL listed”.

That said, the fear and concern is real. It’s why many such products run on 5 or 12 volts.

I’d also check if you are actually switching mains power, rather than sending a separate control signal to the WLED.

I suspect that this will require backend support to implement. Raise an issue in the Lemmy repository.

UL listed?

Back propagation happens during the creation of the model, not after it’s deployed.

I’m glad you defragged it, rather than fragged it…
