Just like drug addicts, these people are addicted to dopamine and they will do anything to get it even if it makes everyone else uncomfortable
I think TikTok format video players are straight up drugs. It's a real physical addiction which even has withdrawal symptoms
They are so appealing, I do avoid them but it's just sad to watch everyone else become a victim of those
ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works
I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3 code. Some of them even contained function names which didn't exist in any version of GTK
My 8 year old lovebird died a few days ago.
His name was sherbet but the nicknames include: chicken, rodent, animal, (the) bird, birdhead, mango, weirdo... And because of that, now everything reminds me of her
I held his body in my hand cried for hours. We went to gradma's yard with my brother to burry him, I broke down crying while digging so my little brother finished it for me.
Our home is just too silent without him, I miss him so much
Real Linux users only drink GPL licensed cola
Actually, I found archiveteam's reddit dump. I think we can re-host this on activitypub, as a form of read-only, easy to browse archive.
The data is on archive.org is marked non-downloadable to limit traffic. I emailed archive.org requesting one of the 10GB pieces to experiment with. Fingers crossed
I hate the fact that reddit has so much valuable data in it, like thousands of extremely niche subreddits and answers to your questions.
I wish someone could just mirror it all
it's a parody of this poster from early 2000s
I absolutely lost it the first time he called me a nerd for using Arch and straight up started doing Fedora elitism lmao
Open source developer and Linux enthusiast here. Although cluttered, Android's home directory is fairly simple to understand
The nightmare begins when you take a look at the root filesystem.
One time I was trying to port an OS to my phone and I had to figure out the Android init system. Went to source.android.com and what. the. fuck. Just as a side-by-side comparison:
Linux boot sequence: Android boot sequence (unmodded, SIMPLE):
There are so many wrong things about it like why are there 11, 12 places to put programs (/system/bin, /bin, /usr/bin /system/usr/bin, /sbin, /system/usr/share/bin...)
Why the fuck drivers are scattered around folders instead of just /lib/modules
Why is the home directory /storage/emulated/0/ instead of just /home/0/ (also why the user is named "0")
Where the fuck is everything???
God (Linus Torvalds) forgive me but even Windows is better than that shit
I don't think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse
TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern "social" media works, it's the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon
Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can't really get addicted to fedi
I wasn't really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn't like it much.
I don't know why but "the algorithm" is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely "fake". Other sorting methods like "new" or "by most active" just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard
