This is such a hot take I didn't know I shared.

Zelda games aren't bad by any stretch, in fact they seem great. But they're treated as sacred to an extent I'll never understand.

No way, how so??

No nested SQL queries allowed.

Edit: it was for a built in query language to populate dashboards (think Jira JQL meets Domo).

I had some inefficient SQL queries that meant we had to put some guardrails around user input so others didn't take down prod like I did

I love how specific the labor jobs on the left are and the right side is like... All mathematicians.

I've had nothing but issues with Microsoft hardware... Even excluding Xbox stuff, my SP4 had major issues with video corruption and hard freezes. Multiple RMA attempts came back defective or damaged, even the first party folio keyboard went bad. These were widespread defects and once warranty was up I was sol.

The only thing that somewhat extended its life before it went full spicy pillow was putting Linux Mint on it with some kernel patches.

Thank God this community exists, but I'll never buy another surface product as long as I live.

I know this is probably a large lift but it'd be great to have different themes, views, etc configured at the account level.

Themes would let me immediately see which account I'm posting as. Some accounts on different instances are more for discussion, others for consuming media, so different layouts are better.

Lol some clueless zoomer made this

This pyramid is mostly bad argumentative techniques, i.e. arguing in bad faith.

It does very little to explain the structure of good faith arguments, lumping them in together at the top...

I have no ability to color coordinate but would love to get some inspiration, especially from anyone using the AMOLED theme.

Who's got a slick colorway to share??

It seems like whatever intent is spawned after creating a thread doesn't respect the back button behavior. When I click Android's back button, it just closes the app rather than taking me back to the community or even prompting me to confirm I wish to exit.

It'd be great if we had an option where opening an image or link marks a thread as being read.

As it stands, I have to open comments and many posts I just want to see the meme and move on.

Play an instrument.

I had zero musical talent, I'm not coordinated, and I don't even listen to music much to be honest. Yet one day I decided to try playing guitar and totally fell in love, it's like a new part of my brain came online.

I'll never be playing Wembley stadium or whatever but just practicing is so rewarding. It's not about getting good, it's about getting better.

Sounds like you're kind of grieving in advance, which is natural and healthy so long as you channel it into something constructive like you are.

Everyone's parents will leave, yours is the best case scenario.

This would be a nice setting so my keyboard doesn't learn the names of certain communities.

I know Sync did it for reddit when not signed into a profile, any way to have it configurable?

[-] bfr0@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Which of the following would you most prefer? A: a puppy, B: a pretty flower from your sweetie, or C: a large properly formatted data file?

[-] bfr0@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

As a corporate entity Reddit had much more liability to worry about and more to lose.

Part of the appeal of the fediverse is that any of us anywhere can run an instance with different stakes, applicable laws, etc.

Without having to worry about profit, conversations can flourish.

Is there any way that we could treat accounts as separate profiles so to speak? I think with Lemmy, a lot of us may have multiple accounts on different instances. That is sort of necessitated because of federation. It would be good if those different accounts, which may be intended to consume different types of content, could have different preferences for styles and layouts and such

Starting a seedbox (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by bfr0@lemmy.world to c/piracy@lemmy.ml

With everything happening with Netflix and Max it's time to cut bait.

I was looking at renting a seedbox for torrents. I have a pretty old Synology I use for local streaming but it's too old to run Plex or even vpn properly without mucking about at the os layer.

How do people get stuff off their seedbox? Do they just manually download stuff when it's done downloading? Do they stream directly, as some appear to support jellyfin and Plex? Do they use rsync or something to automate transfers?

As a new reddit exile, I may be misunderstanding this.

In theory something like a !gaming community could crop up on multiple large instances, especially during the mass exodus while instances are getting hammered with spikes in volume.

If that's the case, we'll have fragmented communities across instances. Is there any way besides subscribing to each of them to combine them into a sort of multi-reddit type aggregation? Or is this considered a temporary (albeit important to adoption) problem during the crazy stages?
