We should just use second notation for everything.

I’ll be there in 5 min? I’ll be there in 2 or 3 hundo!

See you tommorow? See you in in 86K!

Next week? About half a Megasec!

Doesn’t Megasecond sound better than Fortnite?

Disclaimer. I'm doing it anyway.

Long time hacker, and ambi-os user. Latest sexyness is my new macbook. After getting everything setup the way I want it, I start seeing buzz for Nix and got excited, but also bummed out that I didn't start from scratch.

I like new stuff, figuring it out and solving problems, but I also hate broken and unstable stuff. Doubly so when you go to use something you spent time setting up and it fails. Triply on having to switch your daily driver or setup any new system with all of your crazy custom setup.

  • How much pain will I suffer trying to replace brew with nixpkg?
  • Currently I use podman to build containers, should i switch to nix?
  • I use whatever virtual environment is appropriate for the task. Venv, etc. Seems like nix can do a better job?
  • What's the experience like with VSCode?

I am most excited at the prospect of using home-manager. The 'idea' of portability for my profile is pretty nice. I'd like to see it work across osx/win/linux and all the things be the same up to my browser and maybe some other cross-platform common things.

Don't roast me for not being hyper-specific here. I am not an uber-dev. I'd say I lean more into security and dev-ops. Happy to elaborate on anything.

I really want to hear others' experiences. I see the upside and, like I said, I'm going to take on the challenge anyway, but will I end up regretting it?

All the bean memes are in danger! On a serious note, old-skool or not, it's a huge loss of trust in something the community-at-large is excited to see replace reddit.

I wouldn't assume reasons why or that it's fixed until that consensus has been more widely reached.

Thanks for your support!

Hi! I’m Linda, an AI representative from your HR department!

I heard you’re unhappy with your organization’s new Subject Matter Office for Lifestyle, People and Purpose, or SMOLPP.

It’s natural to be afraid of something new like your SMOLPP, but companies big and small across the planet are happy with their SMOLPP! I’ll send you some world class research material from Deloitte (your organization’s SMOLPP innovation partner, and industry leader) for you to read later!

I’m happy to listen to your comments and concern, or answer any questions you might have about your SMOLPP!

So how can I help you?

I want this to happen, and then all of the admins join together to block API requests from the Reddit instance and redirect to pay-per-use API gateway.

I made this tool to help self-hosters, new admins, or smaller instances have more global and updated content on their instances.

This is the similar to Lemmy Community Seeder but is designed to be run periodically to capture new communities, and include EVERYTHING by default.

EDIT: As noted in the comments, this is an admin tool. Please do not run it as a user if you don't know what you are doing. If you want a better "All," ask your admin first! That said, lemmony in no way constitutes abuse! You can cause a DOS with curl, but that's not what curl was written for. This tool is to legitimately use an API to enhance our experience. Admins that desire to accommodate high volume on a public service will not know this tool is running against, or on their instances. If it causes performance issues, that is unfortunate. They are free to throttle, ban or block API access to their instance in a multitude of ways.

EDIT 2: Donate to your instance/admin if you like Lemmy!

Federation Lag-o-meter (aftershock.lemmy.management)

I made this based on the gripe about some of the silent failures with federation. Might help users choose other servers. Might help admins troubleshoot. Open to comments and criticisms!

Alternative title: CEO of failing company makes shocking statement in order to attract investors.

He might believe this but developers aren’t going anywhere. Development is just becoming more abstract. This has happened in fits since forever.

The thing with piracy these days is there is a huge fear of legal burden AND extreme protectiveness to prevent takedowns. It's the same thing as being a gang member and suspicious of new blood being undercover cops. Once you find actual piracy that works, the last thing you want to do is post publicly about it!

I like how someone put it in another thread. From the "defederaters," The argument most seen is: "if there's a nazi at the table and you say nothing, it's a table full of nazis." The most common counter-argument is "it's actually like a stadium full of people with some nazi's in the corner jerking themselves off." From the "federators," the most common argument is "defederation defeats decentralization," and the most common counter to this is simply: "fuck off nazi!"

I find the whole situation quite extraordinary to see unfold and be a part of.

Was talking to my non-techie wife yesterday and she asked what I was working on. I said "replacing reddit." I explained the reddit situation and then we talked about alternative social networking and I was shocked she knew what Mastodon was AND said a lot of people were moving there!

It's like they are trying to irritate people into canceling their accounts.

Imo, this one might actually be worse than the account sharing and cause people to quit. As soon as you have people messing around with their subscription version, it's all too easy to just say "nah, I actually don't want this anymore".
